Information Crystal E. would like to know about your pet

I request that your dog have updated flea and tick treatment. I also recommend being up to date on Heart Guard, kennel cough preventative, and other vaccinations your vet recommends as I have many dogs going in and out of my home. Puppy holiday rates are subject to change.

A typical day

It is my goal for your dog to be in a safe, fun and challenging environment. Dogs need exercise and play time. I take a daily walks. My children also keep them busy inside or let them chill.

Pet care experience

I love dogs! I stay at home full-time. I'm an experienced dog trainer and care-giver. I have assisted in teaching puppy classes. I have trained and owned 2 therapy dogs, both certified. It would be my privilege to love on and serve others by taking great care of their dogs who are akin to family members. I have 3 children that will play fetch with, sit and cuddle, read to or give your dog the space they want. I am very active and take daily walks, runs or roller blades. It is my goal to make sure your dog isn't kenneled all day and has ample exercise and challenges to help him/her have a more fulfilled life. I have been taking care of dogs for over 25 years. I'm up early! Morning walks with dogs are my favorite! Your dog will be part of our daily routine! I am home full-time and can provide a structured and fun environment! Your pet will likely go with me most places I go! I request that your dog be crate trained. Our cat, Nermal, loves playing with dogs! He has grown up around them and is incredibly comfortable with dogs.

Crystal knows dogs really well. Our dog, Bonnie is anxious but Crystal was patient and gave her time to get comfortable. We received updates through out the week and Crystal was very responsive when I checked in.
