When I'm not out photographing sporting events and school portraits, I like to fill the rest of my schedule with your pets and your pet sitting needs! To some this is just a job, to me it's a way of life that I love to live. If you think that I was the one helping you out, think again! Watching and caring for your babies is some of the best anti-depression medication there is out there. Call me selfish, but I'm not here for the money. I'm here for the mental health benefits! So let me,help you help me out!

Safety, trust & environment

My animals all have appropriate space/ caging that is recommended based on their breed. For example, my dogs have a very large back yard for them to run/play, my hedgehog has plenty of places to hide/burrow as well as an exercise wheel specifically made for hedgies and heating as they get chilly! My point being, whenever I decide to add a new member to my pack, lots of research is done before doing so. It is very important to know the characteristics, needs, and personalities of the animals you bring in your home. Not only does this help you provide the best care possible for the animal it also ensures that you know weather or not this new member will get along with your family and your other pets! When it comes to the fun stuff, my animals are always provided with lots of entertainment/enrichment toys, lots of pets, their favorite approved treats, and of course all the love! I would expect someone who is caring for my animals to do just that! Therefore any animal I care for weather it be mine or someone else's, they will always receive the best care from me!!!

Pet care experience

With over 20 years of dedicated experience, I have nurtured a passion for caring for animals of all kinds, from exotic pets to farm animals. Whether it's a cozy home with a single kitten or a mini zoo, no task is too grand. I aim to be the first person you think of when your beloved pets need reliable and exceptional care. I go the extra mile for all fur, spikey, feathery, or scaley friends, ensuring they receive nothing but the best attention and affection. In addition to unparalleled pet care, I now offer exclusive bundle deals that include house cleaning services. Imagine returning from your trip to not only happy pets but also a spotless home. Booking these services separately would cost significantly more, making our bundle deals the practical and economical choice. Reach out today and ask me about how I can make your next trip worry-free for both you and your cherished companions.

Crystal was superior and took exceptional care of our girls and our house. I will absolutely trust her with their care in the future. It makes it easier to be away, knowing that someone so focused on pet care is there in your place.

Crystal was very unreliable with showing up on time and communication. We had multiple instances where walks were delayed or canceled due to her personal life and/or car. My dogs had multiple accidents to due to the tardiness and absence.

Crystal did a great job with Benji, my 13 year old Shih tzu mix. Benji was very difficult as he didn’t want her to touch him, pet him or put his leash on. He actually bit her. I offered to put him in a kennel for the week I was to be gone. She insisted she wanted to work with him and try to gain his acceptance and trust which she was eventually able to do. I can’t thank her enough for hanging in with him. She obviously cares deeply for our furry pets. In addition my house was sparking clean and bed made when I returned. She’s a winner as a pet sitter.
