vet tech, home full time, will run

Pet care experience

I have been a vet tech for 6.5 years. ICU, recovery, physical therapy and patient care, walks, brush, medications (oral and injections), all ages and all breeds in a very large surgical center. I have always had dogs. My 11 years old boxer just passed away from brain tumor. I am fit, active and always treat dogs like they are my own. I am available all day long as we just moved back to the west of Chicago. I have always had dogs at home. I also cared for many dogs, house sitting and walking. I can run with dogs. I have also taken my own dogs rollerblading. I have had multiple dogs at a time so I know how to walk many dogs at once. I am easy going and good spirited. I believe dogs need daily exercise and stimulation to remain happy.

Chrystel is amazing with dogs! She has a good work ethic and is honest and trustworthy. I completely trust her to take care of my 4 legged babies. Her experience as a vet tech is also invaluable as she can handle any complicated cases. She will treat your dog as her own. I highly recommend her.

Chrystel is one of the most attentive people I know when it comes to loving and caring for dogs .... her own, her neighbors and friends, plus the dogs where she is employed. She also has an engaging personality, ideally suited to connecting with clients to gain their trust and confidence.

I have known Chrystel for years. She is an incredible human who loves animals more than anything in this world. She treats every animal as if it were her own. She will make an incredible dog walker because of this. I completely trust her with my two doggos.

Information Chrystel L. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. I would like to know if the dog is aggressive or if he scared or allergic to anything. Also if the dog as any physical limitations

A typical day

Walks in the neighborhood, parks, forest. My car is dog friendly and i have harnesses for tie downs with seat belts in the car. I can walk or run. Play fetch, balls and Frisbee in the closed backyard. Slow walks for our senior friends. Play hide and seek with toys in the house or in the backyard. I can stretch and offer massages as i worked as a canine physical therapist assistant for several years. I can review basic manners and commands. During the hot days we can play with the water hose or find a river for a dip.
