Let me know how you treat your babies and I will do my best to keep them in their same routine and not spoil them *too* much.
Information Cristina A. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know the following: Is your pet allergic to anything? How long can your pet stay alone at home? (I try not to leave them for more than 5 hours but I may have to drive across town to check on say, another cat or dog) Anything weird they may do when you are gone or I should look out for? How do they normally behave on leash walks?
A typical day
I am very big on enrichment for dogs. We'll go on walks, and if your pet is able to, I can also give some yummy treat-filled kongs as rewards :) Make sure to let me know if your pet is passionate about anything in particular. A well exercised dog is a happy dog!

Vet and boarding experience
Pet care experience
My most recent experience was working as a Veterinary Assistant and Front Desk service at a Vet facility in Manassas VA. Before then, I worked at several daycare and boarding facilities, and have had experience in rescue at NYC ASPCA. I am not your average Joe or Jane looking for a summer job, I know about pet care! I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing them with a lot of love while you are away. I'll make sure to keep them comfortable, spoiled and well exercised. During my visit I'll make sure to keep you updated, and include pictures! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me about dog behavior questions and training advice! I am trying to get more experience so i would love to chat more about it. I do have a lot of behavioral training and trained under Pat Miller’s behavior academy. I would love to work while petsitting as a sort of “board and train”. I strongly encourage force-free methods in order to foster the bond between owner and pet! NOTE: My apologies but I cannot be responsible for caring for children, elderly, nor house guests while visiting the house or doing overnights, I do not feel comfortable, I am also not very good at small talk in general so I’d be pretty boring for them :) Overnight prices are also no longer negotiable.
Reviews
She's a gem. I've depended on her many times to take care of my pets, even one with special needs.



Cristina did an incredible job housesitting with our three dogs and is truly a professional. She is very thorough, closely follows instructions around care, and goes above and beyond around even her presence in your home. She was very responsive, affirmatively let us know when /if issues or questions arose, and was easy to communicate with around our departure/ arrival times. We were able to enjoy 10 days away knowing our dogs were extremely well cared for and our home being looked after. 100% hope to work with her on an ongoing basis.

Cristina was amazing at taking care of my void! She made sure to visit everyday as requested and was very communicative with me regarding my cat. My little scaredy-cat even felt comfortable with her from what I can tell in her pictures, still hiding but eating near her. My cat was also his normal self when I got home, a good sign that she treated him well! When I cam home I was also pleasantly surprised that the cat bowls she used were hand washed and left to dry, and that my trash was taken out, leaving less things for me to worry about when I cam home from my trip.



Cristina is great! Our cats looked like they really had a good time with her and she was easy to communicate with and flexible. Will definitely book again.
