Military Vet Who Cares For Your Pet

I have been an independent pet parent for 20+ years and have a soft spot for senior pets. My fur babies supported me through 20 years of active duty service and I depended on good sitters to look after their needs during multiple moves, shift work, and overseas deployments. As a new retiree, I offer military-quality reliability, responsibility, and honorable service to you and your furry battle buddies when life gets busy or hands you the unexpected.

Cristal is AMAZING!! This was my first time leaving my cats with someone other than family and I could not be more pleased! She communicated so well and provided enrichment for my cats beyond my suggestions and expectations. I came home to two happy and safe kitties!! I will absolutely book Cristal again in the future

Cristal was fantastic. From the initial meet and greet to the detailed communications and pictures we know Minnie was in great hands. We will definitely use Cristal in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I routinely inspect my own home to ensure everything is in order and will do the same for your home. My own pets have trained me to notice signs of illness or distress such as vomit stains, abnormal litter box activity, object destruction, scooting, or excessive shedding. I also observe how a pet moves to see if pain or injury may be present. I tend to over inform in my reports so that you feel comfortable that your pet is well and have confidence that the visit was thorough and attentive.

Pets

A typical day

I like to walk your dog in a familiar area and pause to smell the roses that may get overlooked on your regular outings. If your dog needs to burn energy or get in some exercise, I’m happy to go for a more energetic walk as well.

Cats
Takes only 1 client at a time
Cristal can host up to 2 pets per night
I have experience caring for diabetic cats. I can administer subcutaneous insulin for dogs and cats if needed. I can also administer topical medication such as thyroid medicine that goes in the ear. Please let me know if your dog has any bolting triggers (ex: will dart after squirrels, etc) or if any problem animals live along common walk routes. Also, please tell me if your dog has any health or medical issues that may come up while walking (ex: epilepsy, allergies, needs extra water, etc).
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
