History

Established in 2012.

Have a Ball Pet Sitting & Dog Walking began as a twinkle in the eye of owner, Christine Neely. She is the proud guardian of a sweet mini dachshund, Phoebe and has lived in San Diego for 12 years.

Christine is also an alumni of SDSU and has her B.S. in Business Management. She always knew she would one day own a business but was never quite sure what kind of business it would be. She worked for about 8 years in corporate jobs and gained a lot of valuable experience, but she knew there was a better fit for her.

Shortly after Phoebe came into her life, Christine started realizing how hard it was to leave her little weenie home alone. Then one day, while driving around for her marketing job, she noticed all the dogs out on walks and had an epiphany. She realized there was a true need for trusted, qualified dog walkers and pet sitters and also knew she would much rather be doing that than going on her next appointment. That’s when the light bulb went on and Have a Ball was born!
