Care that Makes a Best Friend

Pet care experience

**Now offering virtual Meet & Greets, see below for more info* Hello there, Spring Break is right around the corner! – I'm thrilled to let you know that I'm completely available for house sitting and pet sitting during both Spring Break and Summer vacation! Whether you're planning a quick getaway during the break or an extended summer trip, I've got you covered. I understand the importance of ensuring your home is well taken care of, and your furry friends receive the love and attention they deserve. My schedule is wide open, so I can provide around-the-clock care for your pets, maintain the security of your home, and handle any special requirements your pets may have. Whether it's daily short, slow paced walks, feeding, or just some good old-fashioned cuddle time, I'm here to make sure your pets feel comfortable and happy in their own space. Feel free to reach out, and we can discuss any specific needs or preferences you have for your pets and home. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to create a stress-free and enjoyable experience for both you and your beloved pets this Spring Break and Summer vacation! About me: I am a responsive and responsible pet lover who will look after your pets as if they were my own. I'd love to have the chance to take care of yours. I'll love your fur babies as they were my own! Over my 6+ years of experience, I've sat for a variety of pets ranging from chickens, parakeets, geckos, plenty of cats and dogs of all sizes, and a few fish. So there is nothing that I can't handle. While you're away, I'll make sure that they are entertained and loved, making sure they've gotten their oral medications (I am not trained to give medications via injections), give them potty breaks as often as needed and of course, chilling out on the couch for an afternoon if that's what they want. :) **Now offering virtual Meet & Greets!* I am now offering free virtual Meet & Greets! I can virtually meet you via FaceTime, Google Duo, Zoom or through the Rover App** ***************** For my drop-in service ONLY: I only offer 1 hour long visits for drop-ins outside the Bellevue downtown area due to travel time via public transit, so my 30 min drop in prices reflect my hourly rate. If you're within the downtown Bellevue area, I would be more than happy to offer 30-min drop-ins at a lower rate at discounted rate and as many drop-in visits as needed for that day. Reach out to me for more details. ***I have trouble walking long distances, so I am unable to take dogs out for long walks. If all I need to do is let them out in the back yard or take them out on a leash and walk them around the block or two, or in front of an apartment building, I'm fine, but if they need a long 30-60 min brisk walk, I'm not able to. *** Thanks for looking and I look forward to hearing from you soon and hopefully sitting your furry family members!

Cris is an avid pet lover who pampers your dog with all the love and attention that they need. Star my dog can attest to that! He spent 4 days with her and loved it. Dog toys, belly rubs, daily walks FOOD (after giving some painful meds to a wound on his neck), and love is what makes her a wonderful pet sitter. When we go to Church there he is always wondering if we can go to the petsitter's house and drop him off! (He wags from the neck down!) Therefore she is better than Church where his friends are! Thanks Cris...you are a Jem! Rating: A+++

Cris is an excellent dog sitter and my doggies love her. She has stayed over at our home several times now and I’ve been pleased with the care she gives to my dogs. She is reliable and stays in touch with updates.

Cris did so well with our two fairly high-maintence dogs. House was spotless when we returned, and it was clear they both enjoyed her company immensely. Highly recommend booking with her!

Hello ANIMAL LOVER Cristal has taken care of my dogs outside of rover for 12 plus years in the Seattle area Rocky - Bernese Mt dog 115 lbs, Rusty - Terrier mutt, Star - full Siberian Husky - 119 lbs - always full husky mood and a cat or two. I have had her in my home for up to 3 months. She has taken them on walks and loved them to death. Follows all special instructions and sent me pictures several times a day. She has worked with my vet, bought toys and extra food if I was running low. She even notified me of a utility interruption. I have the utmost confidence in her. I am looking for a new dog and if I need someone, Cristal, if available she is my first choice to take care of any animal of mine and I HIGHLY recommend her. Rescue, don’t buy. Even Max was a rescue.
