If your pet has any special needs or behavior that you think I should know about. Also, for cats if they are timid, whether I should expect to see them when I drop in or not.

Pet care experience

My husband and I currently have a senior Siberian husky, though she does not act like a senior. And then our new rescue who is a mix at about 2-3 years old. We lost our Shepherd/pitty mix in February 2024 and our other husky in September 2024 so we are use to having a mini dog pack around. (Losses were due to unrelated but unfortunate illnesses). We also have a cat, and I’ve always have had cats around while growing up, though I swear my current cat thinks she is a dog! I have done dog walking in boarding for several years with dogs and cats of all sizes. I am happy to open my home up for boarding as long as your pup gets along with mine who is very friendly and spry! I look forward to chatting and meeting you and your little cuties!

Crystal was able to accommodate us for two back to back drop in visit requests in less than 24 hours notice. She communicated clearly & efficiently & the pups took to her quickly. We would highly recommend her services & would book again given the opportunity!

Crystal was very accommodating and flexible on a last minute request. Brown Dog and I moved just a few days ago and have been anxious, but Crystal and her dogs put us at ease immediately with the chill energy in the home. I think he loved his sleepover with his new friends!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
