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.

Dog Walking • Jun 19, 2026

Easiest 5-star review I’ve ever made! Deserving of 10+ stars. Christian was amazing with my dog Shiloh! He was always here on time for her walks, very communicative throughout the whole process, and was very professional. I can tell he genuinely loves animals and wants to provide the best care for someone’s pet. For someone who has an anxious dog like myself, it’s hard to not worry a bit when you’re out of town - but with Christian I quickly realized I was in good hands. I would completely trust him taking care of my dog anytime. I Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to find someone they can trust with their pet. I will definitely be requesting Christian again for the next time I need to go out of town!

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.

Cristhian is a fantastic walker and our dog loves him. He is very nurturing to the dogs and is always on time rain sleet or snow. He is an active and present dog walker always dogs first!

Schedule

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.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Cristhian can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
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.
