Pet care experience

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.

Christine and Zane are amazing! They took such great care of my 3 month old Dalmatian puppy. He got to go on real adventures like car rides to the park, playtime with other friendly dogs, fun hikes, and even splashing around in a little pool! He came home happy and tired. The owners are super cool and clearly love dogs. Highly recommend!

Christine took awesome care of my senior dog. I know when my dog has a good or bad experience and she came home happy and energized! Definitely recommend.

Christine and Zane were amazing! They suggested a meet-and-greet with our dog before his stay so everyone could get comfortable—and it made all the difference. He was so excited to head to their house for his first day of daycare. We received thoughtful updates throughout the day, and it was clear they were attentive to his special needs every step of the way.

Christine and Zane were extremely professional and we were very impressed with their knowledge and care. They had an awesome yard for the dogs and were communicative through throughout the day. Highly recommend and look forward to utilizing their services again!
