Availability

I have a flexible schedule and work from home, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I’m available in the afternoons until 4pm for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. Because I build pet care into my daily routine, I’m able to stay attentive, stick to your pet’s schedule, and make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I offer complimentary meet-and-greets before every boarding stay so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, and make sure we’re the perfect fit. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident before their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I always follow each owner’s care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), potty breaks, and exercise routines. I have a spacious backyard where dogs enjoy supervised outdoor play and potty breaks. Pets are never left unattended outside. For everyone’s safety, I strongly prefer dogs that are comfortable being crated overnight. I provide a clean, extra-large (XL) crate with a comfortable dog bed, or you’re welcome to bring your dog’s own bed or favorite blanket to help them feel more at home. If your dog has a different nighttime routine, we’ll discuss it during our meet-and-greet to determine if we’re a good fit. During the day, dogs are supervised, receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and lots of love. If your pup gets muddy or messy during their stay, I’m happy to give them a bath with your permission so they go home clean and comfortable. You’ll receive regular photo updates throughout the day, plus a bedtime photo so you can see your pup happy, comfortable, and settled in for the night. If I ever notice anything out of the ordinary, I’ll contact you right away. My goal is to provide a safe, clean, and loving home where your pet feels like part of the family while you’re away.

Information Cristina R. would like to know about your pet

* How does your dog do around other dogs? * How do they do around cats? * Are they comfortable around children? * Have they ever shown aggression toward people or animals? * Do they have separation anxiety? * Are they an escape artist or fence climber? * Are there any quirks or habits I should know about? * Are there any sounds or situations that make them nervous? (Thunder, fireworks, vacuum, strangers, etc.) * Are they reactive on walks? If so, what are their triggers? * Do they guard food, toys, treats, or sleeping areas?

A typical day

Daily activities include supervised backyard playtime, walks, plenty of love and attention, and lots of potty breaks. My screened-in porch is a great place to relax, and dogs who love to swim are welcome to enjoy the pool with your permission and under my close supervision. If your dog is friendly, well-socialized, and enjoys dog parks, I’d be happy to take them to the dog park within walking distance of my home with your approval. You’ll receive photo updates throughout the day so you can see all the fun your pup is having

Loving Reliable Pet Care

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have always had a deep love for them. Growing up, I was the person friends, family, and neighbors trusted to pet sit, and that’s continued into adulthood. I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare, where I gained hands on experience caring for multiple dogs, understanding different temperaments, and maintaining a safe, structured environment. I have experience with large breeds and am comfortable handling big dogs, as well as administering medication when needed. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and I understand how important it is to keep them safe, happy, and on their normal routine. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away.

I’ve watched Cristina care for animals every day, and one of the first things I noticed is how naturally animals trust her. Even shy or nervous pets seem to warm up to her quickly. She’s patient, gentle, and genuinely loves every animal she meets. She’s dependable, attentive, and always makes sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter or dog walker.

Cristina has watched our dogs multiple times, including staying at our house for a full week while we were out of town. She’s always reliable, keeps our home clean, follows our pets’ routine, and makes sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. Our dogs absolutely love her, and we always feel comfortable leaving them in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
