Safety, trust & environment

I want to be as thourogh as possible in our meet and greet. My goal is to make visits go as smoothly and as stress free as I can. I want to know all about your and pets routine and pet supplies so I can walk in like I have been caring for pet for years.

Information Crisa Y. would like to know about your pet

I will work most any dog or cat but I will be honest if I cannot meet your pets needs. It is important you get the best care as possible. Because I have so much experience, I have worked with pets of all kinds, but I am going to need explicit instructions on what and how you want me to care for your baby. I want every visit to go as smoothly as possible for me, your beloved pet and yourself.

A typical day

Usually what I like to do is take your dog for their walk and depending on their needs, go for as long or as short as they like. When we get back I will make sure they have plenty of water and get lots of love. For cats I will administer meds if necessary, make sure they are fed and have plenty of water, scoop their litter boxes and spend the rest of the visit getting all the love and care they could ever desire!

I Will Love Your Pet Like My Own

Pet care experience

I started out volunteering at my local animal shelter in high school. From there I was hired ti work there as my first job while in college in my hometown. I worked for there for a few years and became a twice failed foster parent and now have two cats to call my own. I also care for local strays in my neighborhood. After college I walked dogs and do pet sitting occasionally through a company and now am looking to get some clients of my own. My wide breadth of experience means I have cared for all kinds of animals: old, young, sick, unruly, calm, quiet, active, you name it! I haven't met a furry friend that I haven't become the best of friends with!

Crisa takes amazing care of my two kitties. She is great with giving them medications and making sure they both get lots of love and attention while I’m away. I always feel like they’re in good hands.

Crisa is super reliable. We know our girls are in great hands with her when we are away. She is also great at providing care for my older dog who has some health issues and needs medicine. We highly recommend!

Cross was LOVELY. She was very patient with Rocco when he was being a stubborn old man, and made sure he got a nice walk and was well taken care of. Thank you!!!
