“We came back and saw our cats safe and healthy thanks to Criss. She helped us with feeding and playing with our cats and also cleaning up their litter and dishes. She is very patient and taking very good care with our cats, following all the instructions. Thanks to her, we had a wonderful vacation out of town without worrying too much on our cats. She even goes extra miles providing the visit summary to us every day and keeping our house clean. Definitely recommend her!”

About: That’s right! My friends know that I will play with their dog, that I’m affectionate, and treat them as if they were my own. My first dog was in 2007 a Chihuahua rescue that I had for 18 years. I have house sat for a Shiba Inu, a Corgi, and cava poo I currently have a Chihuahua mix who is 10 and had a Golden Retriever for 12 years. Since taking care of my own senior pets, I am comfortable administering medications and also crate training or potty training puppies. Currently, I am unemployed so I have plenty of time for walking dogs or pet sitting. Eventually, my schedule will change, but I want to continue pet sitting even when I’m employed. I know how difficult it is to trust somebody to take care of your pet and I want to be able to give other families comfort that their pet is not in danger and will be loved while they are away If the pet is staying with me, they are welcome to sit on the couch with me and TJ or sleep in my bed. While I live in an apartment, we often go on walks in downtown San Carlos or if the parent approves we will go to Foster City Dog Park. If I am watching a pet in the home of another person, my dog TJ accompanies me, I will abide by their rules whatever they may be. I will leave the house in the same condition as it was left.

I truly love animals and have dedicated my life to helping and caring for them and even plan on attending Vet School. I have fostered countless animals, both dogs and cats, as well as 35 bottle-fed kittens.

I will do everything in my power to ensure your pet's wellbeing and happiness, while still accomplishing everything that has been asked of me by my client.

“Kiansu, Was fantastic! She took great care of our cats and our house while we were gone. Kept us updated with photos and texts throughout her stay.

She was pleasant to interact with and communication was superb! We would be happy to have her come back.”
