About Cristina C.

Safety, trust & environment
In my home, pets are allowed to roam freely and allowed on the couch. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I live across the street from the park where there’s plenty of green space to walk around, as well as a dog park if that’s something a pet parent is interested in (this dog park is usually empty throughout the day so if you’re pup isn’t a fan of other dogs, we can usually still use it to play fetch!). I also have a big crate from previous fostering experiences that I use for fur babies that aren’t potty trained yet, so they sleep there at night or when I leave the house.

Information Cristina C. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog is child or dog aggressive in any way! I live across from a park so will need to be mindful of what walking routes I take.
A typical day
I enjoy basic training and keeping dogs engaged through teaching commands (it helps if they’re treat motivated!). I also really love to be outside and get my steps in with them. When we’re hanging out at home, you can definitely expect lots of tug of war and playtime!

Experienced Foster Mom!
Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Cristina, long-time foster mom and have worked with multiple rescues over the years. While I don’t currently have a foster, I have experience with many different breeds, personalities, and support needs. Because Ive worked in rescues, I’ve completed various dog safety and handling trainings and as well as basic training education. I truly just love fur babies and will treat yours like my own! I’m experienced with medication management, including pill-form and injection administration. Always happy to chat further and provide details!
Reviews
Cristina was amazing with our girls!! We felt very at ease on our Chicago trip and we could tell our dogs were very well taken care of! 😊
Thoughtful and accommodating care for my high energy GSP who had a mini vet emergency just before my trip. Thank you for taking great care of her and communicating on how she was doing!
Fara had a lovely time with Cristina! She seemed very comfortable at her place and came back happy and well-taken care of! Thanks again, Cristina.
Cristina was absolutely amazing with Tori. Tori came back so happy, and it was clear she was well cared for the entire time. Cristina kept me updated with photos and videos, which I really appreciated, and she even taught Tori how to roll over 😊. She was also incredibly accommodating when I had a last-minute situation and needed a few extra hours—she handled everything with ease and kindness. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
