Compassionate Care for our Beloveds
I am full of gratitude that have had a lifelong relationship with dogs. I use a force-free and fear-free approach. Dogs are their own beings that we get to tend to as humans, and it is truly an honor that I get to work with them. I’m a fan of long walks, hikes, and East Bay hills explorations. Special needs dogs and large pups welcome! My absolute favorite dogs are rescues, but I have experience walking dogs of all sizes, from mastiffs and newfies to shitzhus and terriers. Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, favorite games, or things to avoid. I am kind, firm, and will pick up all of your dog’s poop! I look forward to meeting you and your doggy friend!

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog's trust and safety is so important to me! I will spend time with you beforehand so that I can learn more about your pup and what they need. For walks, I will get to know your dog before we venture out on to the streets together. For dogsitting, I have a house checklist to make sure that your pup and space have the best care while you're away. I keep a safe distance from other dogs and people during walks.
Ratings and reviews
Christina was great! She was very communicative and took great care of our house and dog while we were gone for an extended time. Would definitely recommend.
Cristina is quite confident and knows how to handle our high-energy Lisah!
Cooper had a lovely walk with Christina :)
Arya and I are so happy to have met Christina. She was inquisitive and attentive of our needs. She had an immediate bond with Arya, walked her during the scheduled time and kept me informed.
2nd time Cristina has watched our dogs and she was amazing once again! She sends lots of pictures and updates, and is so sweet and attentive with them. She was able to carry our old dog upstairs to hang out with the pack, and also administer their medications. I know they are always in good hands and getting lots of love. I’d recommend her to anyone!
Cristina watched our dogs for 5 days with only a few days notice, and I so appreciate her responsiveness and amazing communication about our dogs while we were away. Lots of picture updates, and she took perfect care of our two pups. She paid attention to their separate needs, as one of our dogs is old and required some special attention and care. Couldn’t have asked for more!

I work from home and take lots of walks throughout my flexible day. I’d love to take your pup along with me! I can do longer morning walks with enough heads up as well.
