I’m Cristi and I absolutely love every dog, no matter the size, breed, or personality! Each day, a dog has the ability to bring ALL the positivity, silliness, and sweet nature out of all of us! That’s what I love most about our canine companions- the constant happiness! I adore that I can have a professional life doing what I enjoy best which is caring and staying active with my furry friends, all while providing excellent care to the PawSome families of our new home city and state Los Angeles, California! Growing up, We had a Black Lab and English Mastiff, who were both cherished members of my family. I am pleased to say that through my childhood years of experience, I feel extra comfortable taking care of breeds of all sizes and personalities! In addition to my personal experience with my own furry family members, I have also worked many moons professionally in the animal care field- over 20 BarkTasTic years! As a Veterinarian Assistant and Professionally Certified emergent Veterinary Technician, I have worked within top notch veterinary hospitals that have provided me with all the key skills and training to become an amazing Pet Care Provider. I have also been a huge animal advocate and volunteered at many animal shelters and rescues throughout the years! I have truly loved every moment of working with rescues and finding many wonderful homes for many fur babies! There have been so many special pups that I’ve been able to meet and care for and I look forward to meeting and caring for lots more! As a fellow Fur Mom, I know how hard it can be to be away from your fur baby. It can often be stressful and daunting to not only leave them with a stranger, but find someone you trust to care for your fur baby- Well, Great News, you Never have to Worry Again when Your Fur Babies are in my care- I am dependable, reliable, fun, and super loving to each and every fur baby I welcome into my dog pack! I always make sure to stay in constant communication with all of my PawRents, sending the cutest photos, and text updates to eliminate any worries you might have about your Pups staycation. Each dog who stays at my home is treated as if they are within their own home, which means getting spoiled rotten with toys galore, lots of smooches and tons of cuddles! I live in a wonderful family and very dog-friendly neighborhood with my husband, my two awesome kiddos and my own fur baby, Rune the Rescue! Though I will be the primary caregiver to your fur baby, my family is just as experienced as I am and would love to lend a helping hand with playtime and snuggles. Our home is spacious and PawFect for all fur baby visitors. Rune is super loving and a total cuddle bug and he is always willing to share his space, toys, and treats with his new furriends. We live in Beautiful Reseda, California now in a fun and quiet residential neighborhood! So Happy to have dog friendly neighbors! Proud to say my home has a tranquil energy that can relax even the most active of pups from weeks of age to years. You will love everything about my home for your pups StayCay! As a wife, mother, and fur mama, I lead a beautiful, blessed, and busy life! So in my free time, I like to go on adventure walks with my family, shop for garden and home essentials, decorate, work out and sightsee around town! I also love to discover new places to visit and eat and definitely like to stay as active as a pup, so your dog would be welcome to join me as I gallivant across the city, hang out in the park, or go on hikes and sightseeing trips. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup!
