Usually responds in a few minutes
100% bookings with photo updates
Sends updates with Rover Cards

Skills

12 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience
Special needs dog experience

Safety, trust & environment

I like to get a sense of what forms of communication the pets are familiar with and what boundaries are they expected to maintain, in addition to the basic instructions around feeding, walking, playtime, etc. This information always leads to the best experience for the pets.

Information Crystal F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special needs, allergies, expectations your pet will have regarding routine, anything they might be reactive to or triggered by, etc.

A typical day

This is entirely dependent on the animal and their play style. Do they wanna run? tug? do a puzzle? Is this a dog who needs a good sniff walk? Or maybe a cat who likes to have a birds YT video playing?

Anxiety, reactivity, special needs✅

Pet care experience

Ran a neighborhood dog-walking & pet-sitting business (dogs, cats, birds, small mammals) for years as a teenager and have continued to offer those services to friends & neighbors in my adult years. I also have experience working in animal shelters with anxious or traumatized animals, with administering medications or following special routines, with reactivity & obedience training, etc.

They were great! We loved receiving the humorous daily updates about our kitty and we felt comforted knowing our kitty was well taken care of.

I had a wonderful experience with Crystal. She is a true professional—knows the right questions to ask from the beginning and executes her responsibilities flawlessly. The daily notes and photos show that she gives your pets the love and care that you would give them if you were not traveling. For me, the bittersweet part of going on vacation is leaving my pets behind. Now that I have had a positive experience with Crystal, I will feel 100% comfortable and book with her again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
