Safety, trust & environment

It is very important to me to be polite, prompt and respectful of the animals that I care for and their pet parents. I primarily house sit for dogs and cats, but also can adjust to provide care services within the pet's home or yard depending on the clients' needs. I also provide dog walking services.

Information Cristina D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of anything that will help me care for your pet in the most attentive manner for their different needs, particularly concerning health

A typical day

I love taking dogs outside to get them out in the fresh air and provide some exercise and change of scenery. That being said it is also very important to make sure they are hydrated and getting some breaks to relax. I also enjoy playing with them inside or in the yard, if they seem up for it. It really depends on the dog; some like longer walks less often and some like shorter ones more frequently. I try to make sure they seem in a good mood and are getting an opportunity for activity, particularly if they are high energy.

Reliable, experienced pet sitter

Pet care experience

I adore both dogs cats and love walking and pet sitting, so the combination is ideal for me! My experience includes walking and caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages as well as a variety of breeds. I am comfortable with both dogs and cats who require a slower pace, due to age and mobility, as well as those who are full of energy and need longer walks or more play time.

Cristina did an excellent job with my two cats. She played with them daily and was very attentive to them. Her updates were most welcome each day!

Thanks for taking care of Marley. We appreciated all the updates and all the photos!! We can tell he was well taken care of because we came home to a relaxed and happy dog.
