Information Chrystal B. would like to know about your pet

For walks; are there any anxieties, triggers, or aggressions to look out for? For all care; what is the activity your pet would love the absolute most?

A typical day

We love to play the games that stimulate your pet the most. We will bring one toy of our own to create some excitement around something new, if that makes sense. We also make sure to give calming love before heading out to ensure they're settled in after leaving.

Warm, fun support for furbaby care!

Pet care experience

Hi! We are two animal lovers who have had pets of all kinds throughout our lives. Chrystal has raised dogs, cats, fish, iguanas, guinea pigs, and other small furry creatures. Daniel was raised on many acres with many furry and farm animals as pets. Our family consists of ourselves, 2 kids, and 2 adorable cats. Our sweet, large goof of a dog recently passed and we miss him dearly. We both work from home with a flexible schedule, so have plenty of opportunity to support your family's needs. We both have years of experience dog and cat sitting. We are comfortable and experienced with all breeds and ages and can provide medication as needed. Daniel is also uniquely skilled with larger dogs who need extra support, confidence, or attention when walking or near others. If your pet is not comfortable with kids and/or cats we can easily accommodate with scheduling and separation. Reach out with any questions and we look forward to meeting your furry family!

Chrystal was very receptive and understanding of the needs for my old husky girl. Actually, she confirmed that my dog was very sweet with people, mainly herself and her family. Crystal was able to work and stay with my dog as I mentioned was desirable as my dog has had separation issues. It looks like my dog was taken very good care of and I appreciate it.

Gregg had a great time at Chrystal’s. I can tell he feels comfortable at her home. She was communicative, attentive to his needs and our instructions and gave us regular updates along the way.
