Pet care experience

Safe caring and full of snuggles

I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. When I was 16, my family brought home our first dog—a big, gentle Bull Mastiff named Major—and he completely stole my heart. Ever since then, caring for animals has just felt like a natural part of my life. Today, I’m a stay-at-home mom, which means I’m home throughout the day to offer constant attention, comfort, and companionship to the pets I watch. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to person for family members and friends anytime they head out of town. Caring for their pets has given me so much joy and has shaped the way I approach every dog who comes into my home—with patience, safety, and genuine love. I truly enjoy the simple routines that make dogs happiest—going on walks, offering snuggles, keeping their day calm and predictable. My goal is always to make your pet feel relaxed, understood, and treated like a member of the family.

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets in your home, I treat your space—and your routine—with the same respect and attention I give my own. I make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure by keeping things familiar: their feeding schedule, favorite toys, cozy spots, and any little routines that matter to them. I send regular updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing, and I’m attentive to their mood, energy level, and needs throughout the day. On walks, I’m calm, patient, and safety-focused. I pay close attention to my surroundings, stick to your preferred routes, and make sure your dog stays secure and relaxed the entire time. Whether your pup loves a slow, sniff-filled walk or a more energetic pace, I follow their lead while keeping them safe and happy.

Cristina was great! She took care of both our dogs for walks for almost a full week. She was on time, easy to communicate with and trustworthy. Thanks Cristina!

Fantastic drop-in care for our goldendoodle Lily. She got plenty of attention, potty breaks, and love. Updates were timely with photos, and everything was exactly as promised. We’ll absolutely rebook.

Cristina is a fabulous person to trust with your pets. I highly recommend her as she is patient, loving and responsible with our little fur babies. She has gone above and beyond our expectations!

We have used Cristina on several occasions to care for our family dog. Prior to using Cristina’s services, we had other people watch and care for him. Only when we have been able to book with Cristina does our dog seem genuinely excited! When he sees Cristina, it’s like seeing a member of our family. She is so sweet with him and very calming. Cristina is reliable and it’s such a blessing to have her watching after our sweet boy. We never feel worried or anxious leaving him with Cristina!!!
