Loving pets for over 30 years

Pet care experience

I have owned dogs and cats my whole life. I cannot imagine life without them. I have three adorable shelties that love to hang out with other dogs. I have extensive experience handling dogs and am sensitive to each dog's unique personality and needs. I will treat your pup like my own in a warm and friendly environment. Our schedule includes two daily walks and playtime in my fenced backyard. I offer both daycare and boarding.

Our dogs had the best time during their stay with Chris. The videos and pictures made leaving our babies with her very reassuring. Chris was very responsive while we were away and I would leave my dogs with her anytime! Thank you!

As a first time dog owner leaving my baby girl for the first time, I was very anxious. Chris and John put me at ease as soon as I visited their home. Chris sent me pictures and videos every day Maddie was in their care. She had a blast and Chris took excellent care for her. Chris will be our go-to caregiver for Maddie. I'm already booking some daycare days!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced yard with cameras for added safety. Although I stay outside with the pups, I do use soft collars for smaller dogs to ensure that they do not squeeze through the bars on the fence. I have two gates inside the house in the kitchen, family, and sunroom rooms where they can hang out during the day. For their safety, pets sleep in crates at night. I do not use any type of rawhide treats or bones.

Information Mary "Chris" B. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to help train younger dogs and provide a quiet environment for older dogs. I have no experience with special needs dogs. I do know how to give medications.

A typical day

A typical day starts with going out in the backyard and then breakfast. After they eat, we go for a long walk. Back at home, the dogs take a rest. Several times during the day, we go into the backyard to play. During breaks, the dogs usually come to my office and hang out. Dinner is next, and then another long walk. We watch TV for a bit and then another short walk before bed.
