Your Favorite Last Minute Caregiver

Pet care experience

When life hits you last minute… there’s me, Christal! :) I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 13. I love to learn and interact with all types of animals. I had my late tuxedo cat from age 6-22 whom I miss dearly, as well as a Schnauzer from age 9 to 18. I am an event planner, so I do create my own schedule. Assuring I will not have any cancellations and my respond time is fast. Very flexible with pick up/drop off dates and times. :) I have a dog park right up the block from me. Upon asking if your dog is good with other dogs, that is one of the activities I would love to take them on. Greatly, my dog loves to meet new pups and they always tend to start having fun. I love to get to know each individual animal. Pets are always treated as my own when boarding or dropping in. I get excited seeing their tails wag for me in sight. I love to read body language to understand the animals. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup(s)! Luckily, since I do create my own schedule… it is perfect with me working with Rover. I have an event about once a month. So spending my free time with pets is amazing.

Christal is so good with my girl Suzie. Not many people are able to keep up with the amount of play my girl needs and how bad her attitude can get but Christal always keep the smiles going to keep the mood right for my girl. Long play sessions are the only thing she wants to do and actually tire her out I’m so glad I found Christal to help with that! Always positive and able to keep up with my puppy MINDED big girl.

Last minute booking but the process was smooth! She had a bit of a curveball with her apartment alarms going off right before drop off, but she was able to relocate to a calmer location and cared for my girl like a pro. I got regular updates and she was responsive to any and all questions or thoughts I had. Great experience, and my girl is happy and healthy.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for animals by making them feel naturally at home. Giving them all the love, attention and cuddles they need. Making sure they’re not too sad about the temporary absence of their owner.

Information Christal M. would like to know about your pet

•Are they good with other dogs/animals? •What is their energy level? •Are they good with children? •What is their energy level? •Do they like cuddles!?

A typical day

We would walk to the dog park up the street, I’d roller blade on the walk path with the dog(s). Make them puppychinos to cool down and end the day with cuddles, and watching kittens on my projector.
