Pet care experience

Communicative and patient caregiver

Hi everyone! My name is Cristina M. and I am a college graduate and have had dogs all my life and have lots of experience with cats as well! I rescued and adopted my own personal dog, a 17 year old miniature pinscher named Tarzan, who just passed, and now I have a 1 year old rescue named Snoop. I am very patient, kind, and will treat your pet like they are mine! I am also very organized and am good at following instructions. Having had a senior dog, I am comfortable giving medicines and I have a lot of patience. I have lots of experience with all breeds and ages of cats and dogs. Do not hesitate to reach out with questions! I am looking forward to connecting with you! Thanks!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I always put a new dog on a leash and harness/collar when going outside even if it’s a fenced in area to determine if they are able to escape or slide through the fence or gate. Safety is important for me and the dog. For cats I am very careful to close the door behind me so they do not sneak out! The door is always locked when I leave. I always will communicate when I’m on the way and when I’m about to leave the visit. Communication is very important to me.

The best! I have an old newly non stray cat - I had to go out of town pretty quick after getting her. She Cristina spent extra time helping her even though she hid all day. So so grateful for the time and effort put into my babies

Christina was an unexpected treasure! We were nervous about getting a stranger to take care of our three cats. My sister had to cancel unexpectedly. She communicated clearly each day and sent lots of pics and comments. She will definitely be at the very top of our list when we need a cat sitter again. Her love of animals comes through in all the comments she makes during her visits. We could not have been more pleased and grateful for her caregiving!!

She was wonderful! She took great care of our dogs and even went above and beyond taking care of our plants while we were away. Super reliable, thoughtful, and communicative. We’ll definitely use her again!

I am really passionate about animals as I volunteer for a rescue and love to spend my time around animals when possible! I had my own senior dog who just passed, and have a soft spot for the seniors. I now have a 1 year old rescue named Snoop! Don’t be afraid to reach out and we can figure something out! I can come check anytime during the week or weekend!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I should know before hand. This also includes allergies and how they do with other dogs, cats, adults, and children! Also if there are any neighborhood animals I should know about while on a walk!
