Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly & Flexible Dog Walker, RPV
I grew up with dogs, and recently had to say goodbye to my own dog after nearly 15 years together. I am a huge dog lover and looking to fill the void of being a pet owner by taking care of neighborhood dogs and taking them on walks and open to pet sitting and drop ins as well! I am happy to watch well mannered, fully potty trained dogs who are known to be good with children. Please ensure your pet is up to date on their flee medication & ensure they are free of flees prior to drop off. For dogs over ~40 lbs: Dog over 40 pounds taken on case by case basis. I specialize in laid-back, family-friendly large breeds and doodle-type mixes. I’m not currently taking high-drive protection breeds.

Ratings and reviews
Our dog seemed to be very relaxed with Cristina and her communication was great!
Highly recommend Cristina! She took great care of our dog during a weekend trip. She is a prompt communicator and sent plenty of updates and pictures. She is kind and you can tell she really loves dogs and I knew my dog would be in good hands with her. I will definitely reach out to Cristina again when I need a reliable dog sitter. Thanks Cristina!
Cristina has taken care of my sweet doggy, Olive, on numerous occasions. Cristina cares for Olive as if she were her own and I can rest easy knowing my baby is in great hands. Cristina is responsible, loving, and kind and you can tell she truly enjoys spending time with the dogs she takes care of. I would absolutely recommend Cristina to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Your dog will be happy you made the choice you did!
Cristina is an incredibly responsible and loving caregiver. She looked after my senior dog, Bella, with such patience and genuine affection. Knowing that my older dog was in such gentle hands gave me total peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly treats pets like family!
I recently had my golden retriever stay with Christina over a weekend. Upon meeting my dog, I could tell immediately the genuine love that Christina has for animals. She was incredibly attentive to her and asked all of the important questions with regards to both getting to know my dog well as well as how best to take care of her while I was away. She lovingly and professionally followed all of the instructions I provided and even provided me with photo updates while I was away, all of which showed a very happy dog. The environment is incredibly clean and well suited for pets of all sizes. My dog came home from her stay Christina very happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Cristina’s services and look forward to my dog’s next stay with her!
Cristina was a dedicated dog mom for 14 years, and I don’t think she has ever met a dog that didn't bring out her most empathetic side. She is very attentive, from the big things like feeding and regular walks to the littler things like wiping their paws after a walk or integrating them into her cozy family. I know she isn’t doing this for the money (she wfh full time), but because she genuinely loves dogs. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their dog sitter.

Schedule
I work from home M-F and am typically home most weekends, a flexible schedule would be best for me since I sometimes will have to work around my own meetings/family plans but am home 90% of the time.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am an incredibly cautious person and would often give dog sitters a 1 page note on what to be careful for with my own dog when they would watch her so I understand the importance of safety, locking up, following owners instructions and being a good communicator. I always loved a little pic/text confirmation that my loved one was being well taken care of and I am happy to do the same.
A typical day
I work from home and would be available for multiple walks during the day — love to play games together as well and make them a part of our home.
