Information Cristina Z. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets have any special needs when it comes to treats or interactions with other animals. For example, if your dog prefers to stay away from other dogs or people during walks.

A typical day

I love to go on walks with dogs and make sure they get the mental and physical stimulation they need from outside activity. I like to have a healthy mix of following them at their own pace and encouraging more exploration. I know each pup is different--some might want to spend more time sniffing and some need to expend energy on longer walks! I am also happy to play with your pup during drop in visits--if they love fetch or other games I'm happy to initiate some play time and/or any additional treat rewards.

Pet care experience

It's safe to say I love animals and all pets. I am welcoming and patient with new animal friends so they can approach me on their own terms, too. I have experience taking care of many of my Rover clients’ pets when they're away and love my own pets dearly. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member!

Cristina is the most reliable petsitter in the area. I am very grateful and relieved whenever I leave my two fur babies in her care. My two cats love her so much. she communicates well, gives updates and takes cute photos of my babies while taking care of them. I highly recommend Cristina and will definitely book her again.

We loved working with Cristina again! She takes such great care of Oliver and is super responsive; we know he’s in good hands whenever we go away. We love getting the detailed cards and plenty of photos everyday. Can’t recommend her services enough!

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.
