Trusted Care While You’re Away

I’ve spent the past 3 years working full-time as a professional dog trainer, helping dogs of all breeds and personalities build confidence and structure. I’m also a certified Master Canine Training and Behavior Specialist through Starmark Academy. I’m experienced with everything from energetic puppies to nervous or reactive dogs, always focusing on calm, positive experiences. Your dog will get patience, structure, and genuine care while they stay with me — whether we’re training, walking, or just relaxing together. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands dogs and treats them like family, I’d love to care for yours.

Cristian agreed to watch my pooch on very short notice, and over a holiday. He sent pictures and updates to let me know how things went and was very understanding when I was late to pick up my dog. Will definitely turn to Cristian for my pet sitting needs again.

Schedule

Pet care is a core part of my daily life. I currently work full-time as a professional dog trainer with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Starting in November, I’ll be transitioning to work from home, so caring for dogs will continue to be my main focus throughout the day—just as it is now.

Safety, trust & environment

When dogs stay with me, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and confident. I maintain a calm and structured environment with plenty of exercise, enrichment, and rest so they feel secure and relaxed. I have two well-socialized dogs who get along with most dogs and are also accustomed to the crate-and-rotate method when needed. This allows every dog to have their own space and ensures a safe, low-stress environment for everyone. Each dog receives care that fits their personality, whether that means extra attention, quiet time, or more activity to burn energy. I keep routines consistent with what they are used to at home, including feeding times, walks, and training cues. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and provide the same level of patience, consistency, and love. My goal is always to make every dog feel happy, understood, and cared for while their family is away.

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping dogs active—both physically and mentally. From plenty of playtime with me and interactive toys to exploring the world and taking in new smells, every day is an adventure. We’ll visit parks, use playground equipment as a fun obstacle course, and enjoy special activities like joring or long hikes through Palo Duro Canyon. My goal is always to meet your dog’s needs, build their confidence, and make sure they have a truly fulfilling experience.

It’s always helpful to know your dog’s activity level, any special needs or medical considerations, and what commands or cues they already know. I also like to know if they have any sensitivities—like fear of certain surfaces, noises, or dogs—so I can make sure they feel safe and confident. Details about feeding routines, favorite toys, or off-limits behaviors are great too. The more I know, the better I can tailor play and adventures to your dog’s comfort and success.
