I'll give your babies All the loves
Pet care experience
Hi all! I'm Chris. My pronouns are They/Them/Theirs. Because of working full-time and being in grad school I can't commit to weekly jobs BUT if you need me to check on your baby over the weekend I'm your person. You need your pup walked on a random weekday after-school hours? Hit me up, I gotchu. You need them walked and heavily exercised on the weekend? If your dog is friendly (not unpredictable) then shoot me a message and I'll come scoop little baby for a hoke or trail walk :)
Reviews
Christine was amazing, she asked for specific guidelines of how to best take care of my dog - I knew he would be in good hands with her!
Christine certainly has a love for animals. At short notice Christine was able to watch my 2 yorkies for a weekend. I would randomly receive pictures on my babies daily activities. Christine was highly recommended by a friend. I would certainly use Christine again. I'm a happy with the service provided.
Chris is absolutely awesome! They are attentive and energetic! They are great with all animals especially cats and dogs! Hands down will have them rewatch my babies! They are trustworthy and bubbly, I feel comfortable knowing that my fur kids are safe and getting the attention they need! Thank you again Chris!
Christine is an amazing person. She has watched my dog Kimbo plenty of times. She always takes him on little adventures whether it’s a day at the beach or a hike on a trail. Kimbo loves her and is always excited to see her. She’s such an animal lover and it shows with how patient and kind she is to my dog. She is always available if I need to get in contact with her to just check in on my big boy Kimbo. I would highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to watch your fur-babies.

I will respect the rules of your own home and all the rules for your pet! I also won't take on more than two dogs at a time for a walk (1 if I've been made aware the dog is reactive or aggressive). Please let me know where your dog is at with their abilities so that the environment is safe for everyone.
Information Christine A. would like to know about your pet
Let me know about your dogs pet peeves, things they really get excited about, things they don't really like, etc. Let me know about allergies and restrictions. If your dog isn't allowed snacks outside of the ones you feed them definitely let me outing and provide a little baggy of their treats for our walks together. If you need some help practicing basic training let me know where you're at and I can help work on it when they're with me. If your dog gets snippy or moody or aggressive i would love to know that and what triggers them so we can be safe and happy together. If you're asking for a check in i will never bring my own dog inside your house or any other dog.
A typical day
Typical day doesn't exist for me haha everyone's dog is different and has different needs. My typical day with my dog is: a bob-a-lot feeding in the morning. Gets her working and she takes a nap shortly after breakfast. Then we play hide and seek or find it and after about 4 rounds of that she honestly starts to tire out so I put her on her place and do my own stuff. We go for a walk around Lake Merrit or I take her to lower bottoms dog park and we play fetch and work on her recall. Luckily for me ball is life so it's nice to take her to an enclosed space where she can run hella far. For dinner she gets served in her puzzle feeder or her snuffle mat and she takes a nap after haha. Before bed we wrestle, every single night. It tires her out and also it's just my way of bonding with her. This typical day won't look the same for your dog, yk? But usually on a walk I do just that. We walk and I carry treats so that your dog and I can practice walking side by side. This tires them out more than we realize because they're walking and thinking, trying to do what I'm asking of them. If the owner requests we do light training and walking them we might walk for 10 minutes. Rest, then do two three minute training. Walk back home, wrap it up with another few minutes of the training. On hike sessions I focus on allowing them to scent walk the hike is for them. Not for me you know? And I also heavily focus on recall and leave it commands during those outtings. Does your puppy need to learn basic commands like sit, stay, lay, leave it, etc? Reach out to me! I'd love to help. Want your dog to learn a cute trick like "selfie", "secret", "nose", "shake paw" "bang bang"? Let's do it!
