Availability

I currently work from home very close to the ohlone greenway, point Isabel, and all the lovely parks El Cerrito and Albany have to offer. Since I work from home, I am able to create flexibility in my schedule for dog walks, day care, or checking in on pets throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and a medium sized dog who is very friendly, playful, and calm when needed. We (my partner and I) do have a kitten, who has loved every dog she has met. We have a fenced in yard with some astroturf and a little area to play. I plan to treat your pet exactly the way I would my own: making sure they are loved, their needs our met, and getting the exercise and stimulation they need to be happy and healthy.

Information Samantha S. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know what your dog/animals typical schedule/day to day looks like. I would also like to know if they have a favorite treat (beef, chicken, lamb, etc). If they have any dietary restrictions, any special needs or preferences, and if they have a favorite place to go to (aka the beach, specific hike, etc).

A typical day

I love taking dogs, including my own, on fun adventures! That includes going to the beach, going on a hike, taking longs walks around the neighborhood, going to the park, point Isabel, etc. I live very close to Tilden, Albany blub, point Isabel, and all the lovely parks in El Cerrito, so your pup will definitely be having a fun time here!

We remain lucky to have Sam sit our Zassha whenever possible, she always makes sure Zassha gets all her favorite socialization and exercise time in with her own dog and cat, and was extremely flexible when we needed to adjust drop off and pick up times as part of our travel schedule. Thanks so much again Sam, we wouldn't be able to travel stress free if it weren't for you, and Zassha truly loves being with you all every time!
