Just a gal who loves animals!

Pet care experience

A few years ago I was a private dog walker for a family who had a Pitbull mix and a Crocker spaniel. I moved to the Bay Area and still continued my passion for dog walking with another dog walking company. I would take care of puppies to senior dogs. I also have experience in giving insulin shots to cats and dogs! Now I’m in SoCal and would love to continue my journey in animal care! My main goal is to make sure you and your fur baby are content!

Cristina was so amazing with Riley! She kept us updated with what was going on and sent us pictures. We came home to a clean house and a very happy puppy. I definitely recommend her!

We highly recommend Cristina. In our experience, Cristina was incredibly warm, dependable, professional and responsive. Not to mention, our pets LOVE her. While traveling, we had complete peace of mind knowing Cristina would take incredible care of our new puppy, cat, fish and stray cats. She's simply the best!

I had the pleasure of having Christina as my dog's walker and caretaker. Her care and dedication to the well-being of my dogs were truly remarkable. From the very beginning, it was evident she was extremely caring and reliable. Her love for animals shone through every interaction. She consistently went the extra mile to ensure my dogs received the best possible care. She provided the best support and compassion during both the energetic times and the sick and even end of life stages. Her kindness and understanding during the challenging moments were invaluable. Words cannot capture the extent of her greatness. She made a lasting impact on our family and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a walker and caretaker.

Cristina has provided such great care and walks to my dog Goku! She always took the time and effort to take him to different places and walking routes that enriched his experience and socialization skills. It was something she never needed to do but was able to help out with anyways which is something I appreciate everyday. Because of her ability to go above and beyond for Goku, it made our walks a lot easier when she’s not here.

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure my environment is safe and clean for any animals that is present because their safety is my main priority. I also make sure food and water are present at all times.

Information Cristina C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any medical issues or any concerns about your doggie. I have experience in giving medication to dogs so if there’s a specific time for their medication please let me know! Also if your dog is reactive please let me know as well—nothing wrong with this of course. I would just make sure the doggie will have a great time on walks if I need to be cautious around other dogs or people.

A typical day

A fun day would include a nice long walk while also stopping to play in a grass area (if available). Then while inside, I would still continue playing with any toys they have! I know some pets love to be chased while they are holding their toy so I love pretending to chase them—this gets them super happy haha! I would also say a few tricks to give them tricks as well.
