Foster Mother

I have over 11 years of experience caring for pets, including a recently adopted 2-year-old puppy who lives with my sister, and a sweet senior dog who was part of our family for 14 wonderful years. For the past year, I’ve also been hosting pets in my home, providing excellent care, daily exercise, medication when needed, and—of course—lots of love. I’m a kind and enthusiastic person who’s truly passionate about animals and their well-being. My goal on Rover is to make every pet feel as comfortable, loved, and happy as possible while in my care. I’d love to schedule a meet and greet to get to know your pet, learn about their routine, habits, and preferences, and ensure they have the best experience possible. Feel free to reach out anytime—I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon!

Cristina was amazing with our Lizzy! It was our very first time leaving her, and we were so worried. But everything went perfectly! It felt like Lizzy was on her own little vacation. We were able to truly relax, knowing that Lizzy was in safe and loving hands. If Lizzy missed us while we were away, now she definitely misses Cristina! Thank you so much for your care and kindness!

Doggy Day Care • Apr 03, 2025

Cristina was an absolutely phenomenal sitter for our dog, Foxy! It’s clear that Cristina wants to do all she can to make Foxy as comfortable as possible, which included a meet up prior to stay. During the stay, Cristina sent photos and videos of Foxy throughout the day, and it was very clear that Foxy was having the time of her life with Cristina! I highly recommend trusting Cristina with your beloved pets, she truly treats them like her own!

Our dog loves Cristina, and is happy to stay with her. Cristina keeps us informed about is going in during the day. She puts us at ease when we go away. We will continue to us Cristina in the future.

Doggy Day Care • Feb 01, 2025

Cristina took care of our baby puppy Ruby for the first time. She did an amazing job, very caring, and sent frequent updates, and we felt at ease. We were dealing with a death in the family and it was an incredibly stressful day for us, Cristina helped make everything smooth. Ruby came home happy and exhausted. Thanks Cristina and we will definitely contact you again in the future for Ruby!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a cozy apartment with a lovely balcony where pets can safely enjoy some fresh air (always supervised, of course!). I make sure every pet feels comfortable and at home — they’re welcome on my furniture, and if the owner is okay with it, they’re more than welcome to sleep in my bed for extra snuggles.

A typical day

I always follow each owner’s preferences and routines to keep pets happy, safe, and relaxed during their stay. We’ll enjoy lots of playtime with toys, walks around the neighborhood, and some cuddle breaks in between! I love keeping pets active and happy, whether it’s a game of fetch, a little chase indoors, or just relaxing together on the couch.

Cristina can host up to 3 pets per night
It’s important for me to know about any dietary restrictions, special needs, or behavioral traits (like anxiety triggers, reactivity, or favorite comfort items). I also like to know their walking habits, feeding schedule, and how they get along with other pets or people. The more I know, the better I can make their stay safe, happy, and stress-free!
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.
