Caring and Professional Dog Trainer

Hello my name is Christine. For the past 5 years, I have been serving the community within the Santa Monica Mountain Range. I have relocated and my service range is in the East Bay. I am located in Albany, CA. At this time, I am offering Drop ins, Walks, Transportation, Baths, and Night Boarding in Clients Home. Since I am new to the area, I am offering a ~20% discount than the general local sitter rate. Catch me now before my rate gets higher! For new clients, I include a 30 minute free evaluation to make sure your dog(s) has/have good behavior. For any service, I send out updates with photos to give my clients piece of mind and joy that their dog(s) are doing well and are enjoying themselves.

Safety, trust & environment

At this time, I am only offering Drop ins, Walks, Transportation, and Night Boarding in Clients Home. I treat every dog differently on a case by case basis. Please let me know how I can accommodate for your schedule. I invite you to visit a local neutral space or in your home (dependant on the service) with me during my initial evaluation! Medical treatments are free with service. Please let me know how I may assist.

Christine was super communicative from the start and I love that she’s a career dog person! Luna got along great with her and I’m looking forward to more walks in the future.

Christine was amazing with Mari. Mari can be sensitive to new people, but Christine gained a relationship right away. Definitely will book with her again!

Christine is awesome! She swooped in last minute as my high-energy dog was needing additional enrichment and exercise when I was out of town. She asked all of the right questions and you can tell she’s very experienced! I feel so grateful to have found her & my pup had fantastic adventures with her! I highly recommend working with her!

Schedule

My schedule is flexible and can allow for fixed work if needed. I work 7 days a week. My work hours are: During the week- 7AM-7PM During the weekends- 8AM-6PM Work outside of normal work hours will occur an additional fee of time and a half. The cut off time for late work is 10PM. For late night emergencies, my fees double. Night Boarding in Clients home is from 7PM-7AM. Drop ins are additional during the day. Please let me know if you have any questions Walks will be started at your home or dogs may be chauffeured to a nearby location. If you are further than about 10 minutes from my location, I will have to upgrade your walk in 30 minute increments to accommodate more time. My first 10 minutes of driving are free, after that the timer for a walk will start. My current favorite locations are: The Rose Garden, Midtown, Rancho Cordova-Sunrise Rd., Folsom East Boswell, El Dorado Hills, Roseville by the galleria.
