Highlights
Pet care experience
Nature enthusiast who loves animals
Hello, I am an active individual who likes being out in nature and exploring the local outdoor areas. I would enjoy the opportunity to help care for your pet and would enjoy the company as well. I am employed full time as a PhD student at Cornell and am seeking a side job that I could enjoy as much as my current job. I live by myself in a quiet, smoke-free home with no other animals or children. I am in a pedestrian-friendly area with excellent scenery for walking. Because much of my work schedule is flexible, I will have time throughout the day to take care and spend time with your pet. I also have more availability on weekends. As an animal lover, I like to interact with dogs through play (tossing a ball, playing tug-of-war with a toy, running around outside) and relaxing with them and giving them pets.

Ratings and reviews
Cristian took great care of our special needs old dog, a bunch of chickens, and 2 cats. Great communicator!
We booked Cristian on short notice and we were delighted he was available. We know Charlie is always in good hands with Cristian and we so appreciate Cristian’s care of Charlie. Highly recommend Cristian!

Cris helped us again, twice over the course of three weeks, in June 2024. He’s our go-to sitter and we’ve been so happy that Cris has been available. Charlie is excited and comfortable when Cris stays and we have peace of mind when Cris houses sits. We always enjoy the photo updates. We are so grateful to have found Cris

Cristian communication was great, I was extremely comfortable leaving my big playful dog with him. I’d definitely hire him again!

Cris was wonderful! He took great care of our pup and our house and we would happily hire him again!

Cristian has looked after Charlie twice and it’s been a great experience. Cris is a clear communicator, sends lots of photos, Charlie adores him. Cris has helped us out with a sort of last minute request. Highly recommend and hope to have Cris help us out in the future

A typical day
Since I'm new to Ithaca, I've been walking around exploring new places and I'd enjoy the company of a dog. I can also take them to different parks and play fun games with them.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsNo females in heatCristian can host up to 4 pets per night
- It's important to know how the dog interacts with other people and animals and also if they have any special needs to consider such as allergies, separation anxiety or fear of certain situations.
