An owner's kind of love

Pet care experience

As an only child, I grew up with animals as my siblings until I left for college. As for my husband, Chris, he has always had a love for animals, but was never allowed to keep one growing up. After some time on Rover, a perfect situation of abandoned backyard kittens from our hometown, and a Facebook rehoming page scroll-- we are now the parents to two cats and a dog. Over the years, especially prior to becoming pet parents-- professors, colleagues, and friends, have entrusted our friendly, organized, professional personalities to look after their animal(s) and home for days to weeks at a time. We care for your animal(s) and home as if it was our own. Each animal is unique and we want your pet to feel like you never left with consistent teachings and affection. We have cared for dogs, cats, fish, and rabbits: shy, friendly, needing oral medications, eye drops, and injections. We truly enjoy animals and would love to meet you and your animal(s).

We continue to be a repeat booker! Always taking such great care of our 2 cats and accommodating their needs (one cat is now a picky eater). We know our babies are in great care while we are away.

Cristal took wonderful care of our two cats during our vacation! She was sweet to them from the start, very attentive and played with them a lot. She kept us updated with details for every visit and was very responsive. I will reach out to her next time we’re out of town, and recommend you do the same!

Cristal was great with our two kitties! She gave lots of love to our more outgoing cat and always made sure she laid eyes on our more shy cat and got a photo of him. She was easy to communicate with and left our house in great shape after her drop ins. Will definitely being using her services again in the future!

Cristal did an excellent job checking in on our cats while we were on vacation. She went out of her way to clean up after their messes and make sure they're doing alright. I would be happy to book her again next time we are out of town.
