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.

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 with me during my initial evaluation! Medical treatments are free with service. Please let me know how I may assist.
Ratings and reviews
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 a true pro and was great with our dog. I'd definitely book her again!
Christine did a great job with our the medium-sized dog. She is rompt, professional, and knowledgable.
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!
I needed an energetic person to walk my 90lb, 5 year old male Irish Setter, twice a day for an hour in the AM and PM when an unexpected family situation called me away from home for 10 days. Christine answered me within 30 minutes and after a few exchanges, we met in person. She was just what I needed!. And my dog, according to my husband, looked for her out the window after the third day when she started walking him. She was understanding that he needed to stay away from large patches of foxtails and burrs because of his long thick coat. She sent me photos of their walking adventures around Albany and being able to keep in touch while knowing my dog was in capable and caring hands was a relief and godsend. I will be using her again this summer for another reservation. I highly recommend Christine and am glad to have her on my list of trusted dog sitters/walkers.
