Pet care experience

Flexible • Responsible • Reliable

I’m always thrilled to spend time with animal friends and help their families feel secure that they are safe while away. It brings me joy to spend time with your pets, walk, play and care for them. It makes me smile to take and share photos and updates, so you feel at ease and in good hands. I have experience with senior dogs and giving oral medication to dogs and cats. • UPDATE: I'm no longer accepting new clients with pets that have medical needs. I have experience caring for many animals at once, and caring for gardens and plants as long as I have detailed instructions for watering needs. Before I started with Rover, I helped friends and family over the years with pet-sitting because I love animals and spending time with them. I also had two rescue pugs and a kitty between 2006-2018. They've since passed away and now I have pets all over Santa Barbara through my pet-sitting services.

Safety, trust & environment

I'll schedule a "meet and greet" for us and then take it from there. This will help us determine if we're a good fit. I'll ask what your pet's routine is take notes and type them into a Google Doc for future reference. I'll use this to structure my time with your pet so they feel at ease. I have a way with animals and a voice that soothes them. We will become fast friends. I've taken dog training with my two late pugs. As a result, I understand how to be a calm and assertive leader, and ease anxiety by providing clear boundaries and expectations. I ensure the property, all doors and windows, harnesses, and collars are secure. I love to play with pets to get our bodies moving and have fun together. Balancing work and play is a must and a joy! It's also helpful to tucker them out for good naps.

Izzy had a tummy issue while we were gone. Crispin took very good care of her! She sent detailed notes and pictures several times each day to let us know how Izzy was doing.

Schedule

I will be with your pet 20 hours per day. While I'm home with them, we will walk, play, rest, cuddle, eat and sleep. While I'm away, I will: -------------- • leave the TV on with something soothing (do they have favorite shows? Usually I put on ambience for dogs videos on Youtube.) • provide fresh water • lock the house • put my things away (to avoid counter surfing and chewing) • follow your specific house rules to ensure your pet is safe and comfortable!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Crispin can host up to 1 drop-in per day
What is their typical routine? ---------------------- • Feeding instructions • Exercise schedule • Rewards (treats or voice & attention) • Commands they know • Behavior issues/quirks • Medical needs • I recommend medical boarding if your pet is post-surgery In case of emergency: ----------------- • Current Vet info • Local, emergency contact My goal: ------- • That your pet will feel secure with their routine being as close to what they're used to as possible while having fun with their favorite sitter!
