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
Thank you Cris for always taking care of my fur baby!!
Always the best and kindest to our kitties!
Cris watched our 3 cats for us while we were out of town for a long weekend. I felt like she was very thorough and provided excellent care for them while we were away. She kept us updated and sent plenty of pictures for our peace of mind. Overall great experience!!
Cris was great! Super communicative about our dog both leading up to and throughout the whole weekend. Would absolutely hire again!
I cannot thank Cris more, she is so fantastic watching our pup! Extremely great communication and photos, keeps our place clean and our pup has the absolute best time with her! We cannot wait to have Cris watch our Zoe again!
Cris was amazing. Very communicative and detail oriented. Took great photos of my 2 cats & dogs and tidied up even though I didnt ask. Would highly recommend Cris

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!
