Safety, trust & environment

It’s hard for you to leave your pup with a stranger. And it’s hard for them to be without you. So I think it’s important to communicate what will work best for your pup to ease their stay with me and we will do that! I only accept two dogs at a time so your pup gets plenty of individual attention and isn’t staying in a crowded boarding environment. We have a block wall fenced in yard that your dog can run around in. My family also enjoys walking the neighborhood if your pup would rather go on a leashed walk. Your dog’s stay should mirror how things are at your home…so how would you like the day to look?

A typical day

We have sprinklers in the backyard if your pup likes water play! There is also huge park at the end of the street that might be fun to explore if your pup is friendly and likes to walk on leash. We love to play fetch!

Comfortable stay while you’re away

Pet care experience

I have always been a dog person. I particularly have a soft spot for large dogs. There was a time that I bred and cared for labradoodle puppy litters. I’ve cared for animals that have required daily medications and am happy to administer medications as long as I am provided clear instructions.

Absolutely — here’s a warm Rover review that sounds natural and also mentions the thoughtful note: We had a great experience! They took such wonderful care of Teddy and made us feel completely comfortable leaving him with them. It was clear that he got lots of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles during his stay. They even left us the sweetest handwritten note about how much they enjoyed having him and how well he got along with the kids and their other pup, which was such a thoughtful touch. It really made us happy knowing Teddy was treated like part of the family. We would absolutely trust them with Teddy again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter! ❤️ 🐾

Crystal and her kids are the best. We had absolutely no worries while we were on vacation. Daily walks, pictures, videos and updates appreciated. They even commented on our girls personalities and came home with a thank you card for trusting them and killer treats to go bag!

Crystal was great with my pup, Bailey. She stayed with Crystal for a week and she took the best care of her. I received updates and cute photos of Bailey. Crystal was communicative and Bailey absolutely enjoyed her time there. Would def book with her again!
