Pooch Pal

Christian is amazing with animals her love and passion shines through and dogs sense it. I’ve seen her in action with numerous dogs and the love is obviously mutual. If you need a dog walker or sitter she should be your first call!

We’ve been using Christian’s services for half a year now, and couldn’t be happier! She’s extremely personable, and very flexible with our schedules. Our dog takes his sweet time on walks, and only likes to run after toys. So after his walk, she plays with him so he can get enough exercise. If you’re looking for a reliable, friendly dog-​walker, look no further than Pooch Pal! :)

Pooch Pal is reliable, on-​time and compassionate. The only thing I worry about from using Christian is that my dog will like her more than me. She gives our dog ample time to get exercise and do its duties. I highly recommend her!

There are few times in life that you feel completely comfortable leaving people, pets, or even things in the hands of others. Christian is one of those people that I feel complete comfort in relying on with our dog, Scrappy. She is trusted with caring for our only pet.
Scrappy has led a mix of a hard life and otherwise comfort. He was born in the streets of Bangladesh and, when we found him, was scavenging for scraps out of the pile of trash on the street. He was a runt of a ferrel dog; destined to be chased away by humans and dogs alike. As you can imagine, Scrappy is wary of people who may remove him from the cush surroundings that he has grown accustomed to.
Christian sets Scrappy at ease and now he gets excited by just the thought of heading to see Christian for the day or a few hours. This does not happen with other people.
Christian is not your average pet care professional. She’s flexible, adaptive to situations, offers to solve problems that no one would even realize were problems, and is so worth the value. I loathe the day that she is not available to us.

We’ve been using SB Pooch Pal to walk our beagle for a few weeks now and have noticed a marked improvement in his behavior. He has always been high energy and adding a walk in the middle of the day has been really great for him. It’s been a pleasure working with Christian, especially after trying to find cheap alternatives for dog walking on places like CraigsList and TaskRabbit. Christian is reasonably priced, very flexible with her schedule, and loving and considerate with our dog. I’m very happy that we are using a professional, especially one as fantastic and reliable as Christian. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible person for their dog walking needs.

We have a unique situation with an elderly bulldog. Not only is she deaf but she requires frequent medication. In the past we only trusted family with our baby. However, in her old age she is very used to her routine (don’t take her out when she desires and you would pay a stiff price). She is quite picky and can read you better than most humans. When it was time to find a pet sitter we were hesitant. Broadie was our first child after all. When my husband suggested Christian I knew I would need to meet her first to see how Broadie felt about her. Immediately upon meeting, Broadie could tell she was a doggy LOVER! After we grew to know her better she has even stayed in our home while we vacation. I feel 100% confident in her abilities with our trusted companion. I also trust her in my home, which isn’t an easy feat as I have never felt comfortable having another sitter stay over. Once when we returned home, Broadie was out on a walk with Christian… when she noticed us I think she was even a bit disappointed that her new BFF was going to be leaving.
If you have any hesitation over weather or not to hire SBPP… don’t hesitate and HIRE. Christian respected all of our rules (even brought her own blankets and put them down over our rugs) and made sure Broadie was COMPLETELY pampered.
I highly recommend South Bay Pooch Pals services.
