Your dog is treated like my own
Pet care experience
I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. I have had all sorts of experiences with them. I was formerly a vet techinician for two years and also volunteered with APA, helping them foster, walk dogs, and train dogs. I have been walking and boarding dogs through Wag for about a year with a perfect rating from all my clients. I have more free time and am looking to take on Rover clients now as well! When walking dogs I will usually try and run with your dog if it is good on a leash. I will treat your pet like my own. If you have been working on any kind of training with your dog please let me know and I can reinforce it while I am with your pet as well!
Reviews
Christine was wonderful!! Her puppy Remy and our dog Margot got along great and played almost constantly. I loved seeing photos and videos of the two playing. It’s was so nice to know that my pup was well taken care of and enjoyed herself.
I wrestled some with the rating I would leave. On one hand I think the dogs were adequately taken care of. That’s the first goal. Great. However, as the sitters stated when we first dropped off the dogs (paraphrasing) “we are not professionals”. This is definitely apparent in the non-dog interactions. Other boarding places, there is a certain structure to the interactions. An A-to-B-to-C. The interactions here were free form and awkward. I felt the need to drive the process. On pick up, I got the strong impression of “OK, we’re done. Get out of our home.” This is the underlying reality of most businesses transactions. However, the successful ones at least appear friendly and are professionally courteous. Those get repeat business. 3/5 stars only because I can’t do 2.5. Will otherwise use the service again.
Christine was very accommodating to my schedule and some late changes. Good communicator. Good environment for Jake with the outdoor space and lots of people to play with.

Make sure your dog is house trained and is also not prone to chew and destroy objects or part of the house.
A typical day
I have a large house and yard for dogs to run around. I frequent Walnut Creek and will usually go there for walks. I have a dog door installed in my house so it is pretty convenient for dogs to go in and out of the house into the yard as they please!
