0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs

Availability

I work full-time as an animal caregiver with deep intention and purpose giving my all for the cause. I will get anywhere I am needed, anytime; scheduling ahead is most ideal to organize other walks around the city, but I can also do last minute things if I am allowed a 90 minutes window to make it in case I am in a different area.

Safety, trust & environment

It is well known that my care for animals transcends feeding them and giving them water; I make sure that every walk is an opportunity to build and/or maintain positive behavioral patterns while addressing any “undesirable” patterns that could be exhibited with patience, understanding and the right amount of love… at the end of the day, it gives me unmeasurable pleasure to see animals safe, content and relaxed.

Information Cristhian I. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if the pets have any allergies or dietary restrictions, as well as any medical conditions or behavioral patterns to look out for.

A typical day

Everyday is a movie in the company of my best friends; biking from early morning to late night, reaching different addresses and boroughs back to back in the always fast paced streets of New York… is in simple words a very vibrant and special experience. It is common to cover an average of 20 miles walked daily which means I provide an active, healthy amount of exercise during the walks mixed with stops to sniff their pee-mail and stimulate their brains as well… all in hopes that my input can help animals live healthy lives (only the best for the best friends).

Cristhian is a special guy. He loves dogs more than anyone I’ve ever met. He goes above and beyond each walk without fail, spending time loving the pups, taking their portraits and sharing with the owners. He is by far my dog’s favorite walker and goes wild every time he sees him. That is true of all of my friends who use Cristhian as well. Can’t recommend him enough .

Cristo was Sidney’s walker for over a year, and he was consistently reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. He always gave advance notice of arrival times, was extremely punctual, and clearly had a strong connection with Sidney. Beyond the basics, he paid close attention to Sidney’s health and behavior—flagging issues when needed and even going out of his way to help (including bringing stool samples to our vet when something seemed off). He also worked patiently on Sidney’s behavior around other dogs, and we saw real improvement over time. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, responsible, and attentive pet caregiver.

Christian (or Christo as I know him) has been walking my dog Tinto since 2024. He has helped me so much to adapt my baby to the nyc rhythm. He is caring, patient and truly has an ability to communicate with furry friends. His charm has always made tinto melt. Christo has a pure love for animals and it shows. He takes the time to understand each personality and brings out the best of each furry friend with his company. I highly recommend Christo for walks, house sitting, runs and more because he is truly Tinto’s (and all the other dogs I’ve seen him with) best friend!

Hello, my name is Rashaun Warlick. I work in a building where Cristhian would care for one of the residents' dogs, Roger. Observing Cristhian's daily interactions with Roger, as well as other small dogs during their walks, was truly impressive. It is evident that Cristhian genuinely enjoys being around dogs, as they appear to feel safe in his presence. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know who requires dog care.
