Safety, trust & environment

— Safety, Trust & Environment — Whether I’m out on a walk, dropping in, or staying overnight, safety and security are always my top priorities. I follow your care instructions closely, stay alert to your pet’s behavior, tailor each visit to their individual needs, and send plenty of photos so you can feel completely at ease while we’re together. When I’m house sitting, I do my best to keep your pup’s routine consistent so they feel calm and comfortable in their own space. I’ll also treat your home with care and leave everything just as tidy as I found it. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, well cared for, and getting lots of love while you're away.

Information Cristian R. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know any special instructions, routines, or quirks your dog has—especially around feeding, walking, or play. It’s also important to know how they behave around other dogs and people. For safety reasons, I’m not able to work with dogs that have a history of aggression or reactivity.

A typical day

Walks are tailored to keep your pup active, healthy, and happy — just like my one-liner says! They can be 30 or 60 minutes, giving your pup plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. After all, this is their outdoor time. For drop-ins, I make sure your pup is fed, gets a potty break, and has time for either play or relaxation, depending on their personality and mood. When house sitting, I aim to keep your pup’s day as close to normal as possible. I’ll follow their regular routine with meals, walks, and lots of attention. I’m not just there to supervise, I’m there to keep them company, help them feel safe, and make sure they’re loved while you’re away.

Active, Healthy, and Happy Pups

Pet care experience

— Pet Care Experience — Hi there! I’m new to Rover but not new to pet care. I’m an active person who loves helping pups stay happy and healthy through regular walks, playtime, and attention. I offer both individual and group walks depending on what your pup enjoys most. This Bay Area heat is no joke — if you don’t live in a shaded neighborhood but still want your pet to get their daily exercise, I’m happy to drive them to a nearby park or trail within reasonable distance. I’m always open to chatting and working out the details that make you and your pup most comfortable. I also offer drop-in visits and house sitting for when you’re out of town. I’ll keep your pup’s routine consistent, make sure they feel safe in their home, and give them the love and care they’re used to. Their comfort and well-being always come first.

Cristian was absolutely wonderful with my boy, Cody! He was super nice, very professional, and went above and beyond by keeping me updated with pictures and check-ins throughout the stay. Cody had such a great time with him and clearly loved the attention and care he received. I highly recommend Cristian to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I’ll definitely be booking him for walks and any time I’m away moving forward!

Christian did a wonderful job taking care of our cat. He is very reliable and detailed oriented. He sent me regular photos and texts of Gus Gus and we felt very comfortable that our kitty was in good hands. I'll definitely book Christian again!
