About: My love for animals began in Colorado, where I rescued a husky malamute wolf. Caring for him led me to eventually care for an entire pack, where I learned patience, structure, and how to read animal behavior in group settings. After moving to the Bay Area, I rescued a kelpie, a highly intelligent and energetic breed. Through him, I gained hands on experience with proper training, mental stimulation, and the level of attention needed for dogs that thrive on engagement. After his passing, I rescued my sweet chihuahua and have since cared for many dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments. Alongside my dog experience, I have rescued and cared for many cats over the years. I am comfortable with kittens, adult cats, and seniors, and I understand that cats need a calm, respectful approach to feel safe and secure. I am experienced with litter box care, feeding routines, playtime, and giving affection on their terms. I take the time to build trust with shy or independent cats so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. Today, I care for every dog and cat as if they were my own, providing dependable, loving, and individualized care to help them feel safe, happy, and at home.

After a meet and greet I asked Mariia to walk Dakota for me when I had to work late and I knew Dakota was in good hands! She is reliable and very communicative! She sent me multiple photos and kept me updated. Dakota was shy at first as she usually is, but Mariia gained her trust quickly and Dakota had a great walk while I was at work :)
We contacted Anjali one evening with a last-minute request right during dinner time. Bochy hadn't exercised all day and was acting out. She jumped at the chance to take Bochy to play and ended up taking him for a nice walk and fetch time. She was good about keeping him under control off leash, and he came back tired and happy. Thank you!!
Christopher walked our pups for two weeks while we were on vacation, and he was absolutely wonderful. He treated them with so much patience and kindness, even winning over our feisty girl who can be a bit of a challenge at first. We can tell our pups got their workout after walking with him! Christopher was always on time, dependable, and it was clear our dogs really enjoyed their time with him. We especially loved the thoughtful videos he sent—it was such a joy to see our pups happy and well cared for while we were away. We definitley recommend Christopher to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
