Cristina was wonderful for the week she watched my pup. Kept me fully informed on what was going on with Barley via messages and photos daily. Even was able to drop her off at boarding for me at the end of the week. House was spotless when I returned home. Will definitely be booking her again!

Cristina is absolutely amazing!! I was extremely nervous about having someone watch Gus for 2.5 weeks while I was on the other side of the world. Cristina eased my mind from the start with great communication, lots of photos? And regular updates. She was kind and gracious understanding the big time difference and my nerves of traveling so far. It was also Gus’s birthday while I was away and she threw him a little bday party without me even asking! I would recommend Cristina to anyone looking for a kind compassionate person to care for your pup. She also took great care of my house. It was cleaner when I returned than when I left!

Cristina was fantastic with our husky/lab mix Grizzly. She was so sweet and reliable and was a huge help in watching our dog while we were away after a last minute cancellation from another sitter. She updated us with photos and checked in with us regularly. I highly recommend Cristina - we will definitely use her again in the future!

I have two medium sized Husky/GSD mixes that are very energetic. Cristina was able to walk them with no problems. Everyone knows my dogs in my building and after Cristina's stay told me they looked happy every time they were with her. Cristina was very professional kept me updated on all the walks. Will definitely book again!
