Pet care experience

Happiness is a warm puppy!

Hey! Cristal here but you can call me Chris. I have been caring for pets since 2015 and I can't see myself doing anything else. I also take care of cats colonies on my free time and I work at an animal shelter as a medical manager but my evenings are pretty open for dog walks and my home is open for boarding. I am also available to house sit! I have 2 cat asof my own but he is obsessed with dogs and enjoys having our furry guests over. I live in a small single family home with my hubby who also loves having our furry friends over! We really do enjoy spending quality time with all kind of pets! We will send plenty of pictures while you are away and text message updates to let you know how your baby is doing! Jose and I are at your service.

My mom lets me borrow her fenced front yard that's the size of a tennis court so I take my furry guests there alot to play in a safe space.

2nd review coming in. This was my original booking with Chris, the second one was an emergency extension. But as I have said in the other one, Chris is a fantastic pet sitter who truly knows and loves animals. My furr baby was very well taken care off like we've never left and I will definitely come back to Chris at any point i need a pet sitter! Top marks!

Chris was absolutely phenomenal! Our Kyra looked very well taken care off and healthy. This is a funny situation because this is the second time we had to book because our flight was delayed and we had to stay another day. Chris was available last minute and my mom and I couldnt be thankful enough. Overall, Chris knows the right approach for animals and that clearly shows. She was great and I couldn't think of anyone else to take care of my cat. A+++ service and will definitely be my go to in any situation for when Kyra needs a sitter.

Chris is an excellent sitter that truly cares for our three cats. It’s always very difficult to leave them but Chris makes it a lot easier. Our cats are in great hands with her!

Chris is an amazing sitter! We book her every time we go out of town. My cats have some health issues that require oral meds and eye drops and she’s able to handle both. She takes great photos and sends thorough and informative updates. She’s very thoughtful! We’re always very happy with her care.
