Never a Dull Moment for Your Pup!!

Pet care experience

Hello there! Please read through the entirety of the following description so you can decide if you think our family will be a good fit for your pup. We are a dog-loving family and we’d love to have your canine baby for a temporary period of time. I am a stay-at-home mother of 4 (ages 15, 10, 8, 7), so your pup will always be surrounded with love and people....and energy! We have a Newfydoodle pup named Barney. He is a big bundle of love and energy and would keep your pup plenty active. I am extremely comfortable with all sorts and sizes of dogs, as is my husband and children. We all contribute to the care-taking of the dog we have in the home and thoroughly enjoy it. Our home is in a rustic neighborhood surrounded by nature (beach, state park, wild deer). Among all the invaluable benefits to living here, one real nuisance is the presence of ticks. We have grown accustomed to the lifestyle of conscientiousness while in the woods, as well as regular body checks. With that said, the best fitted dog for a stay in our home would be a pup that is on tick medication. Just wanted to mention that. We are always outside playing, hiking, and having fun so your pup will get lots of exercise! Also, we only take hypoallergenic dogs, so if Fido sheds (more than minimally), it’s best to find another sitter. We can also take your bearded dragon! We have one and love them as well, and s/he would get excellent care too. :)

Repeat stay with Cristina. She is great with dogs and her family is too. It didn’t even seem like our dog was going boarding, more like summer camp. She integrated Hudson into her family with activities: walks, pool, beach and kids! He thrives with this, was very happy at pick up and didn’t seem to have missed home at all lol. So lucky to have found her!

Christina is the best dog sitter ever, my dogs were happy and calm when I picked them up, can’t believe how lucky we were to have her taking care of my babies. Vivian

Cristina and her family are wonderful. Her dog, Barney, bonded with my dog immediately. She continually sent me updates. Even though this was my first time having my dog stay with her, I felt secure during my time away from my Rose.

Our dog Hudson stayed with Cristina for a week and he had an amazing time with her kids and super goofy, fun loving dog Barney! Hudson is a large 83 pound dog with lots of play energy which she handled without a problem. We were sent pictures and daily updates. The best is her huge backyard where the dogs can really go full speed! Hudson came back nicely happy and tired out, exactly what we wanted. Cristina is very capable with dogs and I would trust her with mine again.

Information Cristina M. would like to know about your pet

What makes him/her happy? What does he/she particularly not like? This will be especially helpful when enforcing things with my children, ie: what to do and not do. Any funny quirks when he/she eats?

A typical day

Your dog will usually be taken out in our yard, but when we go on walks, we will go around our residential neighborhood. Since I am home a lot, we will have a lot of interaction. While my children will give them undistracted play time, I'll most likely play with/love on them intermittently throughout the day.
