Family-Focused Animal Lover

Hey there! I'm Crystal. I love animals, kids, and doing fun activities like walks. I enjoy photography and painting with acrylics. I have painted pets and relatives for clients before. I’m a mother of 3 humans and two fur babies (Milo and Cersei). I love to cuddle family-friendly dogs, take them to the water, and on walks. I am flexible with my schedule. I also enjoy spending time with cats and kids! I’m also available for kid/baby sitting. I have a degree in behavioral science with emphasis on child development. I also have a MS in environmental science. Other than that, I spend our time on hikes, going sight seeing, and in the water. I previously worked at a wildlife hospital, and have some vet tech training. Nonsmoking, and I have reliable transportation. High-maintenance dogs will require higher rate. No dogs with a history of violence. For house stays, I generally bring my kids with me. Feel free to write me if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you.

Crystal took great care of our 2 dogs while we were away. She gave frequent updates and lots of pictures and videos. We felt comfortable knowing our boys were left in great hands. We would definitely book with Crystal again!

Crystal was the BEST!! She cared for our three pups and cat so well during our week long vacation. She is beyond thorough and goes the extra mile to make sure the animals are comfortable and loved all while making sure we are informed. She sent lots of updates and adorable photos while we were gone. I would recommend her to anyone needing genuine CARE for their animals. She is so sweet! We just cannot thank her enough!! We will be using her again.

Crystal was great watching our two pups for the weekend! We have a one year old with a lot of energy and she gave him lots of play/outdoor time. She also took good care of our older girl who has a bum hip. She checked in often and sent lots of pics, if we weren’t moving I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again! Highly recommend ??

Crystal is excellent with animals. She worked at the wildlife rescue center in Petaluma and rescued and saved many animals. She has worked in Hawaii and dog sat with dog owners for weeks at a time. She took care of their dogs and maintained the home in a clean orderly fashion. She has also rescued birds cats dogs and other animals and shows the utmost care, concerned, carefulness and love. I would definitely recommend Crystal for your pet sitting needs!!!

Pets

A typical day

I prefer to do a walk in the morning and in the evening. I’m open to taking them to fenced dog parks. I like to play fetch and give scratches/cuddles. I’m happy to brush them as well. Thanks

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
No females in heat
Crystal can host up to 2 pets per night
What’s important to me are diet and medication requirements. I also like to know about temperament and quarks (will they have a potty accident if I do X). Do they have food aggression? I am only willing to take in dogs that are good with cats, dogs, and children if they are at my home. Thanks.
