Loving Reliable Pet Care

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.

Boarding • Sep 01, 2026

This was the 1st time using Rover and it was a last minute booking, Cristina was in constant contact with us answering all of our questions. When we dropped off our puppy we knew right away he would be in the perfect hands, and her house was immaculate as well! She sent us pictures and videos during his stay, he was well entertained and exposed to new things! When we returned to pick up our puppy she said she taught him a couple of things, LOVED that!!! We will definitely be using Cristina again in the future.

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule and work from home, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. 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 provide a calm, structured home environment and intentionally care for only up to two families at a time, allowing every dog to receive plenty of individual attention, love, and care. I offer complimentary meet and greets before every boarding stay so we can get to know each other, discuss your pup’s routine, and make sure we’re the perfect fit. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications (if needed), and bedtime routines. Your pup will enjoy supervised playtime in my spacious backyard, walks, enrichment, plenty of love and attention, and a calm home environment. If they get muddy or messy during their stay, I’m happy to give them a bath with your permission. I provide a clean XL crate and cozy dog bed for dogs that are comfortable using one, but I understand every dog has a different routine. If your pup normally sleeps in bed and you’re comfortable with it, they’re welcome to snuggle up with me at night. My goal is to make every guest feel as safe, loved, and at home as possible. You’ll receive photo updates throughout the day, plus a bedtime photo each evening so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy and well cared for. If I ever notice anything out of the ordinary, I’ll contact you right away.
