Highlights
Pet care experience
mindful & fun + trustworthy & tidy
Hi! I've been on this platform since 2018 and still loove getting to know new pet-friends and doting on the old pet-friends while their people are away. My goal while you're gone is to eliminate the stress and uncertainty of separation for your fur-kids, and for you! So I'll stick to their usual routine, spend a ton of time with them, and keep your home safe, fresh and tidy for your return. I communicate daily at minimum, with photos, or as often as you'd like. And I'm happy to accommodate every pet's quirks.. and yours haha! I prioritize the pet/s I'm staying with over almost anything else that's going on. I feel lucky to be able to do that and I like to think the pets are lucky too! I clock and adjust to attention and activity needs & wants, so I'm happy to throw balls in the park early morning on a saturday for a high energy pup, or sit with a half-blind grumpy one waiting for a sign that they need to go out (true stories haha). I'm pretty good at reading dog & cat body language and behavior, so stress, fear, pain, or aggression don't go unnoticed- but neither do playfulness, curiosity, trust, and contentment! 🖤 I frequently care for pets with special needs, including reactivity, noise sensitivity, allergies, medication regimens, special food prep, resource guarding, slow eaters, scarf-n-barfers, mobility issues, and more Home care includes watering plants, inside and out, bringing in mail & packages, taking out trash, recycling etc, and dealing with whatever comes up. This is for overnight housesitting but almost all of the above applies to drop-in visits (for cats or smaller animals) when you're out of town as well.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I'll definitely want to meet your pet before booking an overnight stay. After we meet I'll send a booking request, and unless it's close to the date of the sit, you'll have time to confirm. No pressure from me until I get other requests for those dates.
Ratings and reviews
Cris was absolutely FANTASTIC with our shy cat. We have never seen our girl get so comfortable with someone so fast, and Cris made us feel so at ease while we were away knowing our sweet girl was well taken care of!
Cris always does a great job watching Sarge!
Cris was so amazing, as always, with our two kitties- especially amidst the booms and cracks of 4th of July. She made sure to check on each of them (one hiding upstairs, the other downstairs).
Cris was so thorough and thoughtful while checking on Eleanor. And sent professional level pictures lol! Thank you again for taking great care of Ellie!
Thank you Cris for always taking care of my fur baby!!
Always the best and kindest to our kitties!

Schedule
My mornings are for walking the dog I'm staying with and my personal work time. I usually don't schedule drop-in visits before 11am. No extra charge for evening or night drop-in visits though! Love an evening kitty visit- that's when they're the most fun! 🧶🐈⬛ Start times for housesits before 9am incur an additional $30 charge. This discourages folks from leaving their dogs alone overnight so I'm not starting a sit with a stressed pupper. But if someone truly does have an early flight, this covers a surge-priced uber/lyft because cycling during morning rush-hour is.. not a vibe. When I'm house-sitting I'm at your home with your pet/s almost all day, every day. I usually leave once or twice daily for 2-4 hours at a time but not more than 6 total, depending on your pet's needs of course. Meaning I'll probably spend more time with your pets than you usually can. FOR CATS: I'm happy to book once-daily drop-in visits when you're gone, but also willing to stay overnight with them. If your cat requires more than one visit per day please request housesitting or try another sitter. I don't visit the same place twice a day unless I'm sleeping there!
