Compassionate, Active Caregiver
Pet care experience
As a compassionate caregiver, I extend the same love and attention I showered upon my dear dog, Bo, to every furry friend I care for. Though Bo passed away in early 2023 and I'm not yet ready for another pet of my own, I find joy in nurturing the companionship of others' beloved pets. In the absence of Bo, I've lovingly looked after my friends' dogs while they've been away on vacation. My commitment to their well-being is unwavering. I prioritize their mental and physical health by incorporating enriching activities such as play sessions, regular walks, and comforting cuddles into their daily routine. Despite my Monday through Friday work schedule, I ensure that the pets under my care receive ample attention and exercise both before I leave for work and upon my return home. Additionally, I provide the convenience of a dog door, accessible from 6am to 8pm. If your dog is accustomed to using one, they'll have the freedom to come and go as they please throughout the day.
Reviews
Crystal provided the best possible care for my senior pooch. I really appreciate how much she loved and cared for my dog while I was out. She provided wonderful pictures and daily updates.
Crystal is a genuine dog lover and an exceptional dog sitter. She is kind, reliable, responsible and absolutely trustworthy, and goes out of her way to make sure my dog is well taken care of. She is prompt with his feeding and walks and makes sure he maintains his routine. I am so thankful for her. Now I have peace of mind when I travel knowing that I can count on her to take really good care of my dog. She is also great with communication and sends me daily updates and pictures which I really appreciate. My dog loves her and I think he secretly waits for me to go out of town so he can hang out with Crystal. I can’t recommend her enough!
Crystal has been the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. We have an elderly dog and could not have asked for a more kind and attentive dog sitter. She went out of her way to make sure that our dog has everything she needed to feel comfortable and safe while we were out of town.
Crystal loves animals and is an awesome pet sitter! Crystal and I met playing intramural sports and she mentioned she loves to pet sit. My dog has stayed with her several times and LOVES her time there. Crystal has a large fenced in yard and spends so much time playing fetch with my dog and taking her on walks. It’s a vacation for my dog too!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When pet-sitting in someone else's home, I adhere to their rules without exception. When walking dogs, I'm vigilant and cautious, ensuring the safety of the pet at all times. I never allow dogs to interact with others unless expressly permitted by the owner. Furthermore, in my own home, I prioritize the comfort and warmth of the pets under my care.

Information Crystal B. would like to know about your pet
Kindly provide details regarding your pet's medical history, behavioral traits, daily routine, emergency contacts (including preferred veterinarian), and any comfort items they may have. This information ensures tailored and attentive care for your furry companion.
A typical day
Dogs under my care enjoy two daily walks along with backyard playtime tailored to their preferences. Whether it's an hour of fetch, squirrel watching, or simply basking in the sun on lush grass, their happiness is my priority. Indoors, I engage them with interactive games like tug of war, ball rolling, and treat-hunting for mental stimulation.
