Pet care experience

Providing cuddles and care to pets

What sets me apart is the level of patience, attention, and genuine love I bring to every dog I care for. I’ve spent years working with dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies who need structure and training, to gentle senior dogs who require extra time, comfort, and understanding. I’m calm, reliable, and very detail‑oriented, which helps me adapt to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’m also experienced with: • Puppy routines (crate training, potty breaks, basic commands) • Senior dog care (slow walks, medication reminders, mobility support) • High‑energy dogs who need exercise and mental stimulation • Shy or anxious pups who need a soft, reassuring presence

Schedule

Hello! I’m Cristina, and caring for animals has always been one of my greatest joys. I’m attentive, gentle, and very detail‑oriented — perfect for dogs who need a little extra patience, structure, or reassurance. I follow routines carefully, communicate clearly with owners, and make sure your dog feels comfortable and understood. My goal is simple: to give your pet the same love and care they get at home.

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m caring for pets, my priority is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. If your pet stays with me, they’ll enjoy a calm, clean, and loving environment.

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy, active, and mentally stimulated, so I always tailor activities to each dog’s personality and energy level. For playful pups, we’ll enjoy things like long walks, fetch, tug‑of‑war, and exploring new smells on safe neighborhood routes. For dogs who love learning, I incorporate simple training games, enrichment toys, and fun challenges to keep their minds busy. If your dog prefers a calmer vibe, we’ll enjoy slow strolls, gentle playtime, cozy cuddle sessions, and plenty of one‑on‑one attention. I also love adding enrichment activities like snuffle mats, puzzle toys, treat hunts, and sensory play to make their day more exciting. No matter the dog, my goal is to make sure they feel loved, entertained, and completely comfortable while you’re away.

Before caring for any pet, I always like to understand their routine, personality, and any special needs so I can give them the best possible care.
