Highlights
Pet care experience
All Creatures Great and Small
I will treat your pet like royalty! I have a huge fenced in yard with trees and lots of room to run and play. I work from home and nothing makes me smile more than animals. The animals I watch over I give lots of love and attention, as though they were my own. That’s the honest care and love I bring to each new animal I meet. I've always loved animals. When I was a kid I thought for sure I’d be a vet, or animal researcher or zoologist so I quickly became my neighborhood dog walker, cat sitter, fish feeder, bird watcher, snake charmer, etc. the list could go on! Since then, I have enjoyed sitting for friends and family. I’ll never say no to hanging out with a fur ball. I have experience with small and big dogs. I am active, strong, able to lift 100+ pounds and I love to spend time to really get to know each animal's personality. (I'll give them some serious love and attention.) I will give baths, groom and administer meds with precision. Whatever your dogs unique needs are, I’ll meet them. I also have experience with injured animals and newborns (neighborhood kittens have a way of finding me.) Rest assured your dog will be in good, safe, loving hands. If you happen to have cats, look no further. I adore spending time with the feline kind. I’ve cared for several dogs, cats, horses and rabbits for the majority of my life and love animals.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Ari had probably his best stay ever with a sitter at Cressendra's. He was welcomed and understood and photographed (*great* photos!) and - although often skittish with other dogs - was exuberantly engaged with Amigo from the beginning. Cress is communicative, flexible, truly cares about the dogs, 'gets' them. A great photographer. A stellar person. Will definitely leave Ari with her again if she will have him!
My Jobu (Westie) must have had a great time at the Cressandra household... why? Because Jobu always slept on the way to the house that I was renting. Great job, Amigo and Cressandra!!!
My boys were instantly comfortable with Cressandra. It was remarkable. They are shy dogs, but day 1 of doggy daycare they already did zoomies, made themselves at home on the couch, and ate their full meal.
Cressandra is such a wonderful and caring person and those qualities definitely transferred to the way in which she cared for our beloved pets! She stayed in our home and treated it with complete respect and when we returned we could tell that our puppies and cats were well cared for because of how at ease and happy they all were. We would highly recommend her pet sitting services to anyone reading this review. We understand that it is difficult to leave your fur babies in the care of someone else, but as soon as you meet her you will see same bright and caring light that we saw! Highly recommend!!
Cressandra was truly amazing. She took such great care of Sparky and provided us with daily updates and because she’s a dog photographer, she sent our favorite pictures of our dog. Sparky returned to us a healthy and happy pup.

Schedule
Depending on where you live, I love taking dogs for long walks, and know a lot of the Santa Fe parks or places to exercise - my favorite right now being: Rose Park, Smith Park and Frank S Ortiz Dog Park.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Please let me know if your animal has any special needs or medications and instructions for feeding and/or bathing. Please only reach out if your dog is 100% house trained, older than one year and plays well with others. I am not able to dog sit dogs who are not house trained or have aggression issues.
Pets
A typical day
We will go on walks, there are several parks I love to go to in Santa Fe. I'll also go on rides in the car (if you allow), serious play time and lots and lots of snuggles and pets.
