Animal Lover & Ready to Cuddle

I am very positive and always smiling. I will always give your Furr-Baby hugs, rubs, and kisses. I lost my boxer of 11 years to liver cancer May 2018 and need some help recovering from the broken heart I got from losing my baby boy Max. I am good and very patient with training dogs. My dog had bone cancer and had a leg amputated and I taught him how to walk in 5 days. I love taking dog pics so I will update Furr-Parents frequently. I love talking to dogs and letting them listen to peaceful music. I love giving doggies healthy snacks and helping them exercise. I love trying to excite dogs with dog toys. I have had 4 dogs my whole life and been surrounded by even more from my family. We are just Dog Lovers! I volunteered at the Orange County Animal Shelter for 1 full year May 2019- June 2020 and I loved it. Gave me the confidence in walking many different type of dogs and really made me realize my true calling to care for dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

When boarding in my home I provide Crates, doggy gates, doggy bowls, poop bags and more. For the safety of your dog I require my clients to bring their dog food and dog treats due to so many allergies.

A typical day

I follow manyyyyy dog pages in central florida and would go to a dog event/social. I love taking dogs on a walk near the lake leashed, and to the dog parks near my home and even far. Going to Meadow Woods Dog Park, Lake Baldwin, Lake Eola, or to a doggy swimming pool is fun too! I would to take your dog on car rides and take them to get dog treats like Puppucinos.

16 to 40 lbs
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Cristina can host up to 1 pet per night
For Boarding purposes I PREFER that the dog is crate trained, if not it is ok I own many doggy gates to use for overnight purposes and when I leave the house for a second. I would like to know if your dog bites? Barks at night when away from owner? Plays well with other dogs? Vaccines up to date? Recent Allergies? I love all dogs! Some favorites are: Boxer, Bulldogs, Malteze but I love all doggies.
