Pet care experience

Experienced & Trusted Pet Sitter

Aloha 🌺 I’m a calm, reliable, and attentive pet sitter based in Kauaʻi. I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 15, and animals have always been part of my daily life. I’m self-employed and work online, which means I’m very flexible and able to give pets consistent attention, not just quick visits. I follow routines carefully and adapt to each pet’s needs and personality. I enjoy daily walks and gentle outdoor time, and I always prioritize safety, comfort, and calm energy. I treat every pet as if they were my own. During your time away, I stay in close contact and send daily updates with photos so you can feel relaxed and confident your pet is well cared for.

Thank you Cristina for taking care of our babies over the weekend! I was very nervous leaving my pets with someone they were not familiar with but she put me at ease! Cristina communicated with me everyday, sending me videos and updates. I would highly recommend her! Thank you Cristina!

Cristina was amazing!! She showed up on time each day and took Kicho for a walk, feed him, and let him out of the kennel! She even stopped by on a Sunday to see all through the steps before showing up on Monday! I would fully recommend her to anyone on the island!! Thank you for the help!!

Cristina was wonderful! She was on time and took Gracie (my pup) to Bike Path for their walk. Gracie has been so happy all day because of walking with Cristina and I couldn’t be happier!!

Safety, trust & environment

I enjoy daily beach walks and i have a safe neighboor for leash walks. I love having an excuse to go for a beach walk or hike. I love spending time with dogs and cats. Taking dogs on adventures or play and relax with them. I would take care of them as if they were my own. I mantain contact with the owner during their absence including daily reports and lots of pictures.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me is calm, structured, and adapted to your pet’s routine. Mornings usually start with a walk or outdoor time, followed by feeding and some quiet time to relax. I make sure pets feel settled and comfortable before the day begins. During the day, I’m flexible and available, so I can provide attention, playtime, walks, or rest depending on your pet’s needs and energy level. I follow instructions carefully and keep routines consistent. Evenings include another walk or play session, dinner, and a calm wind-down time. I always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for before bedtime. I stay in contact with you throughout the day and send updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

Before caring for your pet, it’s helpful for me to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, walking habits, and any special instructions you have. I also appreciate knowing about your pet’s personality, energy level, and how they usually behave when you’re away from home. Please let me know about any medical needs, medications, allergies, or sensitivities, as well as emergency vet information. If your pet has any fears, triggers, or preferences (for example with other animals, noises, or handling), I’m happy to accommodate them so they feel safe and comfortable. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide consistent, loving care while you’re away.
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.
