Friendly Pet Caretaker
Pet care experience
Aloha! I have a passion for a range of animals. I grew up having dogs, birds, fishes, and turtles. I have little experience with farm animals, however I am open minded and a quick learner. I know what it takes to give respect, love, and care to animals. In the past, I've had from a German Shepard to a Chihuahua growing up and understand the importance of multiple daily walks, training, and especially love! I have worked as a veterinary technician in Kona and Hilo where I've learned many skills in handling dogs/cats, medical procedures, and cleanliness. I have a range in experience with special needs, injured, amputees, and medical conditions. I have assisted in pre-op/post-op care in dental and surgical patients. I am able to provide oral medications, injections, and nail trimming to your precious loved one. Since becoming a new momma to a handsome little 15 month old boy, I have slightly switched my career to pet sitting, pet training, and soon a pet friendly baker of treats and cakes. I still very much love the medical aspect and plan to continue my education to be a certified vet tech and trainer. With all pets I encounter, my first training is to get your pet comfortable with a child. My son has already been around German Shepards, Huskies, Yorkshire, Dachshunds, and puppies! He already understands the first step to let animals to smell you before petting. He has been around an aggressive and dogs with high anxiety. I work diligently for both safeties of my child and your pet to get along and have fun! —————————— Q: I am worried about your little one in my home with my pets who have never been around a child. A: I totally understand and appreciate your concern! Let’s have a meet and greet so we know we’re a great fit. I’ll be the judge to determine whether the safety is a major concern. My son has been with different breeds who have never encountered a baby before and at the end of the stay, they end up getting along. :) —————————— I unfortunately do not offer boarding in my home, however if I am in your home, I will provide the upmost respect to your space. I will treat your home as if it was my own by keeping it clean, organized, and respect your rules.

Mahalo Crystal! We loved all the pictures and sweet updates about our girlies. We can’t wait to have you back again!
Crystal A. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Crystal was amazing! Went above and beyond to make sure all the dogs and cats were good hands! Asked great questions about each individual animal and treated them like her own fur fam! You can tell she's animal person and has great vet tech care knowledge which came in handy with my one pups who was still in recovery. Would highly recommend to anyone and will definitely use her services again in the future! Thank you again!!!!???
Crystal did a fantastic job with my rowdy bunch. I had to go Kona side for a few days and was nervous about leaving my animals and using Rover for the first time. She was communicative, managed multiple dogs and cats (incl. medication), and asked questions when my instructions were unclear. Would definitely hire her again.

Information Crystal A. would like to know about your pet
I want to know what your routine from the day you wake up to the moment before you sleep. When do they go potty, what time they eat, what do they do for fun, favorite toys, and even the naughty things they do from biting shoes to digging holes. This really gives me an idea who your pet is, what needs to be worked on, and commands you use. Consistency is key to keeping your dog in the same routine and to not lose good habits. Any additional information like specific triggers, medications, noises, or being touched certain areas are all very helpful information to make sure your furry friend gets a long with me. I want to be there friend too! :)
A typical day
For fun, I enjoy hiking, running, frisbee (I secretly might be a dog), and roller skating. I take my son with me to be active and have the necessary tools to make sure I get my workout along with walking your own pet! I am a hard worker and also open minded. I understand we are all still struggling post COVID so I am willing to work with you! —————————— Q: How do you walk my dog and bring your child? A: I use a hiking backpack so he can be comfortable and I can successfully walk your dog properly.
