Availability

During the school year, I am working full time but have Summers off. During school breaks I will be home more often. I usually get home right after school, so your pet will not be home alone longer than 8 hours. My dog loves other dogs and is known for helping shy dogs come out of their shells. I have experience with pet care at the animal shelters. I often take my dog to dog parks so she gets her social time.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced yard with a very friendly dog who loves to play with dogs of all sizes. She is in the house during the day while I am away at work. My 2 guinea pigs are in their own room, which locks from the outside, so if your pet has a high pray drive they will be separate. My Abby loves visitors and will help your dog get plenty of play and exercise. I will be able to board dogs, but can also check on your pets in your home, provide walks, and possibly house sit, though I would want to bring my dog. I can also check on your guinea pigs, rabbits, etc.

Information Crystal B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs, and provide clear directions for care. I can administer medicine, though I don’t have practice with giving shoots. I will need to know how your pet gets along with other dogs.

A typical day

I will take your dogs for a walk, plus play with them outside in my large backyard. I have an abundance of dog toys. I can also take your dog along with my Abby Cadabby to dog friendly places with patios if you are comfortable with that. I will provide chew toys to keep them entertained while I am at work. I have a baby gate, and a large dog crate if needed. I can also provide and stick to your pets routine. If your dog is leash reactive I can walk them separately.

I will treat your pet like my own.

Pet care experience

I have loved all animals since childhood. I volunteer at APA and Austin Animal Center, so I have experience walking dogs, as well as handling other animals, such as guinea pigs. I have completed canine good citizen training with my dog Abby Cadabby, and soon will be doing therapy dog training. I also have 2 guinea pigs, Chuy and Casper, who have their own room that is separated from other animals.

Crystal was very responsive and sent an update/photo. She had plenty of space to play and nap with three other dogs. Our Norma came home very tired/dirty and had bathroom issues throughout the night (unusual for her). This may have just been excitement, but I’d recommend confirming rest breaks and food/treat expectations in advance, especially for sensitive-stomach dogs.

Crystal watched Coyote for one night and it was a good, easy experience. Drop off and pick up were easy, communication was good, and my boy was happy to be in her care!

Crystal was great! She was very accommodating and gave lots of updates on the dogs. Will definitely be using her again.
