Expert Pet Care with Loving Family

Pet care experience

We are highly experienced in caring for animals of all different kinds, and have done many professional housesits outside of this site, mainly through another platform called Trusted Housesitters. Our experience includes working with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments: providing energetic puppies with the constant play and engagement they thrive on, ensuring active breeds get the vigorous exercise and consistent leadership they require for optimal health and happiness, and offering senior animals the gentle care and precise medication schedules they require. We have even skillfully administered food to picky lizards on 'hunger strikes' via syringe daily. With our extensive experience and deep commitment to animal care, we're fully equipped to meet the unique needs of your pets with compassion and professionalism. In addition to our professional pet care, our compassion extends globally as we've also dedicated ourselves to rescuing countless street animals during our travels abroad, nursing them back to health, and ensuring they find their way to safe, loving homes. If you're seeking reliable, attentive care for your beloved furry family members, rest assured that our family is the perfect match for yours!

Crystal and Edward were caring, attentive house sitters and Kitty Parents to my 3 cats while I was traveling for 2 months. All 3 cats were happy and well loved when I got home. They were a pleasure to spend time with and very easy going. Crystal handled all issues as they came up, keeping me informed. sending videos and scheduling needed repairs. I would highly recommend Crystal and Edward and hope to have them stay at my home again!!

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Crystal for over 11 years, I would describe her as a true animal lover, kind soul, respectful and very honest! Each time she has house sat and watched my cat I’ve come home to a cleaner house than I left it, plants healthier and a happy and relaxed cat. Her husband and son are equally the same so together they make an incredible team! I would highly recommend Crystal for your future house sitting/ pet sitting needs.

Crystal, Edward and their wonderful little boy cared for my home and 2 dogs for a month. They had to deal with a very stressful and emotional time when one of my dogs became ill and had to be put down by the veterinarian. Throughout this ordeal, they stayed in communication with me, dealt with the veterinarian and Crystal was even present to support my dog as she crossed the rainbow bridge. They were caring dog sitters and communication was excellent throughout. Their little boy is gentle and sweet with the pets. As a bonus, I came home to a house that was cleaner than I left it. If there was a 5 star rating system, Crystal and Edward would rate a 6!

I highly recommend Crystal and Edward! They took care of our home and our 2 dogs while we were away for 7 weeks. They were highly responsive, loved the dogs, kept us to date and our house was immaculate when we came home. They are fantastic and you cannot go wrong having them sit for you!

We are a family that deeply values honesty, kindness, cleanliness, responsibility, and respect. We're also proud to say that we live a very health-conscious lifestyle, free from drinking, smoking, vaping, or the use of any substances. When we step into your home and meet your beloved pets for the first time, it's like welcoming new family members into our lives.

Information Crystal & Edward K. would like to know about your pet

To ensure we provide the best care possible, it's helpful to know a few key details about your dog ahead of time: -Personality and Temperament: Understanding whether your dog is outgoing and energetic, shy and reserved, or has any particular triggers helps us tailor our interaction and activities to suit them perfectly. -Exercise Requirements: Knowing how much and what type of exercise your dog prefers enables us to keep them physically happy and healthy. -Health and Medication: Information about any health issues or medication routines is crucial for us to maintain their well-being. -Dietary Needs: Specific dietary requirements or allergies will ensure we feed them exactly as you would. -Likes and Dislikes: Familiarizing ourselves with their favorite toys, activities, and any dislikes helps in keeping them content and stress-free. -Routine: Dogs thrive on routine, so knowing their usual schedule for meals, walks, and potty breaks helps us maintain a sense of normalcy for them. -Socialization: Insights into how your dog interacts with other animals and people allow us to manage social situations appropriately. Additionally, we'd appreciate knowing any specific household tasks you need managed in your absence, such as watering plants, collecting mail, or any other duties that help keep your home running smoothly. With all of this knowledge, we can fully commit to providing a safe, loving, and fun-filled environment for your dogs, as well as meticulous care for your home, just as we would for our own!

A typical day

A typical day with us is filled with love, activity, and attentive care, tailored to each dog's personality and needs. Mornings begin with a refreshing walk, embracing the beauty of British Columbia, the Pacific Northwest, or the Southwest, depending on where we are. We love to stay active, and ensuring your dogs get plenty of exercise is a big part of our day. Whether it's a vigorous hike for those energetic breeds or a leisurely stroll for the more laid-back personalities, we're all about matching the activity to what your dog loves most. Our son is a bundle of positive energy and affection, always ready to engage in playful antics, whether it’s a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or simply frolicking in the backyard. His enthusiasm for love, play, and stimulation ensures your dogs are engaged and thoroughly enjoying themselves. However, he is also naturally attuned to the needs of our canine companions, embodying a calm and gentle spirit when the situation calls for it. He understands the importance of giving dogs their space, seamlessly shifting to a more serene demeanor, offering calm companionship to those dogs who prefer a quieter, more laid-back interaction. As we work from home, this balanced approach extends to our own work environment, allowing us to provide a tranquil atmosphere for your dogs during their moments of rest. This flexibility ensures that your dog's day is a perfect blend of activity and calm, ensuring they feel not only entertained and active but also respected and comfortable, fully embraced by our family's loving and attentive care. In addition to play and exercise, we incorporate plenty of cuddles, gentle petting, and conversation, making sure your dogs feel part of the family. Meal times are handled with care, following any specific dietary requirements or routines you’ve set. And for our special lizard friends or any pets with specific care needs, we're meticulous in following your instructions to the letter, whether it's administering medication or preparing that perfectly measured meal. Our day wraps up as it began, with a calming evening walk, setting the tone for a peaceful night. Your dogs' comfort and happiness are our guiding principles, making every day with us safe, engaging, and full of affection.
