Dog Boarding Hillcrest

“I have left my baby many times with Chyna. She is the best! She keeps a daily update, send us pictures and keep us informed. She is very sweet, prompt and efficiently. She is the only one I trust to take care of my dog. I would strongly recommend her without any hesitation”

Simone N.

“I usually go with a pet boarding facility but wanted to try something different. Meaghan was very responsive and flexible with my schedule. She welcomed my 2 frenchies with open arms no hesitation. She made me feel more comfortable with her than taking them to a pet paradise.”

“Kendra was amazing and I had great peace of mind knowing my dog was in wonderful hands. Communication was stellar: I got updates and multiple photos every day, and it was awesome to hear of his adventures while I was out of town. I recommend Kendra to anyone looking for a thoughtful, caring pet sitter and I for sure be back as a returning client.”

Aline L.

“Christine was wonderful. She sent photos and videos each day. She made me feel like our dog was being loved and cared for when she sent me updates and let me know how he was doing. We’ll definitely rebook next time we go out of town!”

Kimberly M.

“Rachelle is amazing. Our furry girl was well loved and taken care of while we were out of town. We received pictures and updates while we were gone and a happy, non stressed pooch when we came home ❤️ couldn’t be happier.”

Cali G.

“Joshua and Lesley exceeded our expectations. This is the first time we’ve tried pet sitting outside of a boarding. As a family with a very loving but energetic dog we were skeptical if someone would give our pet the care and patience he needs. Joshua and Lesley put our minds at ease since the first day we met them. They are passionately driven professionals and have gained our trust for future sitting. Quick response times, regular updates and lots of pictures. This is the team to get. Your dog will love them.”

Francheska V.

“Cassandra was amazing with my pup. He is an anxious boy and she took all the steps to ensure he was calm and felt cared for. She sent just the right amount of updates and even returned him with new toys and bones. Happy to have found her!”

Irene G.

“Sheena was a great sitter for our fuzzball! He enjoyed his time there and was able to get some well deserved rest! Thank you so much for taking care of our dog, we will coming back when we need a sitter the next time!”

Wyatt S.

“Krystal was amazing with our girls!! She made us feel totally comfortable and they loved running in her backyard. We will definitely book her again”

Kori K.

“My chihuahua and I haven't been a part in forever. When my family and I went on a one week trip, I knew I had to find the perfect dog sitter. My dog is picky and I was worried, but she was immediately comfortable at crystals house. She is so kind and attentive, and became best friends with my chihuahua. She was comfortable around everyone in the household and very well taken care of. Will certainly be using her services in the future and am beyond thankful for her and her family. Thank you SO much”

About: What sets me apart from many sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and my ability to genuinely connect with them quickly — especially pets who may be anxious, shy, older, highly attached to their owners, or simply used to lots of companionship and attention. Over the years, I’ve helped care for foster litters of puppies and kittens requiring around-the-clock feeding, monitoring, and weight tracking alongside my best friend, who is a veterinarian. I also have veterinary technician and shelter experience, along with hands-on experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, reinforcing basic puppy training, and supporting animals with special routines, anxieties, or medical needs. I’m currently working with one of my own dogs in service dog training, and I’m also a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) who previously worked with pre-K children with autism using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Both experiences have strengthened my understanding of behavioral reinforcement, nonverbal communication, patience, routine, trust-building, and adapting to different personalities and emotional needs. In many ways, both children and animals communicate heavily through energy, body language, consistency, and feeling emotionally safe, and I’ve found those skills help me connect especially well with animals of all temperaments. I’m also an avid walker and love spending time outdoors, taking long walks through the beautiful Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods, local parks, and nearby green spaces — especially when the weather cools down a bit. For more active dogs, I genuinely enjoy playtime, walks, fetch, and engagement throughout the day, while calmer pets usually find me just as happy to provide cuddles, companionship, and a peaceful environment. Because I operate my design company remotely and on my own schedule, I’m often able to spend extended time in the home providing companionship, supervision, structure, affection, and a calming presence throughout the day and overnight — not just quick drop-ins. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. Because I own and operate my own boutique design firm, my schedule is highly flexible and allows me to work remotely from anywhere with a reliable internet connection. I’m also involved in tween mentorship and creative consulting, both of which I manage on my own schedule, making it easy for me to prioritize the needs and routines of the pets in my care. I’m naturally both an early riser and a night owl, so I’m available for early morning feedings and walks, late-night potty breaks, overnight companionship, medication schedules, and pets who simply feel more secure having someone nearby throughout the day and evening. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy the companionship, structure, and calm presence animals bring. Whether I’m working quietly from my laptop while keeping your pet company, taking breaks for walks and playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I’m able to give pets far more presence and consistency than many traditional sitters with rigid work schedules. Safety, trust, and creating a calm environment are extremely important to me, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have two friendly small dogs and cats of my own, so pets staying in my home should be comfortable around other animals and able to coexist peacefully. Our pets are very much part of the family and are welcome on furniture and beds, so I aim to create a relaxed, loving, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. I understand that every pet has different comfort levels, routines, and boundaries, and I take introductions, feeding, supervision, and transitions seriously to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. If a pet prefers to be crated or separated at times, I’m happy to accommodate those needs as well. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m highly respectful of routines, security, cleanliness, and household expectations. As a longtime homeowner and business owner myself, I understand the level of trust involved when someone gives access to both their beloved pets and their home. I’m conscientious about alarms, locked doors, medications, feeding schedules, potty routines, cleanliness, and communication. Because I work remotely from home in the Avondale area, I’m also able to provide a high level of flexibility, supervision, companionship, and overnight presence for pets who are used to having someone nearby throughout the day.

“Rachel was so good to my puppies Brad & Becky. I received daily communication with pictures. And it looks and sounds like they had a blast. I trust Rachel completely! When Brad got a little snippy while eating and hurt Becky's ear, she handled the situation with love and care. Promptly stepping in and helped Becky get all cleaned up. Making sure to stop the bleeding and accessing the situation. She also made sure to call my vet, but it was before they opened. She handled the situation just as I would and was prepared to do whatever it took to see that my puppy was okay. I would absolutely trust Rachel to watch my dogs in the future and you should too! Thank you for making our first Rover sitter experience so great! ? We will absolutely book again!”

About: I’ve dogs my entire life. Whether you have a coach potato or a zoomies fan I got you. I have a big backyard for your baby to play in and a lovely partner for all of her/his adventures. I keep constant communication, and will be sending tons of pictures so you don’t get nervous. I have been taking care of dogs for a couple years now. I work 9 to 5 Monday to Friday but I live in my parents house, so there is always somebody at home. I will be playing in the backyard during the morning, chilling on the couch while I study in the afternoon and taking a couple of walks here and there just to take some fresh air. I have a big fence yard and a designated closed area inside the house so your dog has plenty of space to be. During the day she/he will be walking free all over the house as I do chores here and there. I have a friendly dog (girl) who would love to be your baby’s beastie

“Amber was wonderful and so accommodating with our dog. We were running late picking up our dog, an Amber was so gracious with the tardiness. She gave all medications and supplements. I loved the morning check ins from her with photos. We will definitely use her again.”
