Information Cristina F. would like to know about your pet

I like honestly from customers and you will receive the same from me. I am really looking forward to meet your with pet and treat them like my own. Open communication is the key for long time relationships which is what I plan to do by meeting and caring your dog.

A typical day

Our bear will be in charge of the entertainment, he is very playful and fun. I take them out to play, using balls of all sizes and toys, we also do walks and play inside the house.

Pets

Cristina F. has Star Sitter status

The Star Sitter program highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet parents to find the best care for their pets.

Reliable and passionate dog sitter

Pet care experience

Our family of 3 is ready to host your furry companion to play and have a good time with our 6 years old labradoodle. I’ve cared for dogs for the past 20 years, mainly to our own, friends and family. Now I have more time and can spend my time caring for people’s unconditional best friends. My goal is to meet new play friends for our own Bear. I don’t do cages nor restrictions in the house, I own a large property with plenty of space to play inside and outside.

Christina responded to my booking request promptly. She was flexible with the times I could introduce our dog, Felix, to her at her place. She was warm and genuinely interested in Felix from the moment we first met, and he seemed very comfortable with her both when I dropped him off and when I picked him up. When I booked Christina, our family's travel plans had to be changed multiple times, and she was never flustered by the changes. I absolutely loved Christina's interest in our dog and her unflappability and flexibility. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Very responsive sitter - quick to reply and even sent pictures and updates during my dog's stay. I am often nervous leaving my senior dog in a new situation, but Cristina took good care of him!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
