Pet care experience

Sept 15 2012: UCD: Bachelors May 1st 2017: UCD: Masters in Animal Behavior, with focus work in anxiety related care. Extra courses: Certified as a Veterinary Support Assistant. Certificated in Animal Nutrition for all small animals. Certified in First Aid, CPR, and Emergency Trauma Aid. INCLUDED in all of our stays: baths, nail trims, all day play and cage-free stays! I LOVE dogs, and as a great bonus I am irrefutably great with dogs. I moved to AK in 2021 from Sacramento CA. My mother is a Vet, and I spent every summer of my youth working in her clinics. I am skilled in dog CPR and dog First Aid, and have been trained in emergency trauma aid. I am very knowledgeable about diseases, treatments, and medicines. In case of an emergency my mom is a call away. I started professionally boarding in 2010 and received several certifications in 2017. I am onsite 24/7. Besides a trip into town 1 time a month for groceries your pets are never left alone. Guests enjoy unlimited access to a 1/4 acre fenced yard, giant toy box, and couch cuddles. I also know how to make homemade dog friendly dinners.

Krystal is the best. My kiddos stay with her several times a week while I work. They’re always taken care of and loved like a second family. Been using her for a couple years.

Krystal was great! She sent tons of photos during our dog’s stay. It really gave us peace of mind seeing that our pup was well cared for and happy. She had excellent communication and we would happily book with her in the future.

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.
