Home full-time privacy fenced yard

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. We live 2 blocks from a park and have a privacy fenced in yard. 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 have a privacy fenced in yard! 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.

Our dog, Bonnie, had a great week long stay with Crystal. Crystal gave us daily pictures showing the fun Bonnie was having including nice long walks and playtime. Crystal took excellent care of Bonnie and we won’t hesitate to book her again in the future!

Love Crystal! I'll definitely be booking with her again. She's amazing with dogs and understands their dog language.

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 walk or run around our park. If they need to run and play ball, we go in our fenced in back yard. My children also keep them busy inside or let them chill.
