Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog wants their favorite aunt
This is not a kennel or a boarding facility - I only host one family at a time because I actively care for your fur baby as if they were my own. I was a dog mom for many years so I know how hard it can be to find someone to care for your canine companion in the manner they're accustomed to. This can be an even bigger challenge when you have a senior dog or one that has special needs (reactive, anxious, etc.) That's why I love being the "paw auntie" - to give you and other pet parents the peace of mind of knowing your furry friend(s) are well-loved while you are away by someone who has the experience to give them the individualized care they deserve.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Crystal was amazing as always! Plenty of communication and lots of love and playtime that suited our dog’s personality perfectly! Crystal is always our go to for dog sitting because of how amazing she is!
Crystal took GREAT care of our pup. Regular updates & photos/ videos helped us feel connected. Fully trust her, and will absolutely book again!
Crystal is the best!! She is so attentive with the dogs in her care! She treats them like her own! She made sure to send us pictures daily! We are pretty sure our Georgia didn’t want to leave when it came time for us to pick her up!
I have a dog with high anxiety and crystal did an amazing job attending to her specific needs! Highly recommend! Will be using her again!
It was apparent that Crystal cares deeply about animals. Crystal works from home, so she was always there with our pup. There were no other animals in the house which meant that we didn't have to worry about interactions with other pets. Our pup was treated as Crystal's own pet, and she received lots of attention. I'd certainly use Crystal again for boarding.
Excellent as always. Much appreciated

When dogs are in the house, they are the priority. I work from home so I am available to meet any and all needs they may have.

Safety, trust & environment
The safety and well-being of your fur baby are my primary concerns. I will give your furry friend(s) everything they need and more. This will obviously vary depending on the individual personality and needs of your pet which is why I like to get to know them better so I can create the best possible experience.
A typical day
Every day is different but each one includes individualized exercise, attention and play time. I love to find new ways to keep our time together interesting. We explore new routes and play outside. We cuddle on the couch and enjoy treats if mom and dad say it's OK. Basically, I figure out what makes your fur baby the happiest and we do that. We also keep meals on their usual schedule. You will receive video and photo updates typically in the morning and the evening. With permission, I also share some adventures with my online community and to promote my business. Dog walking services are a little different since the timeframe is much shorter. The standard visit is only 30 minutes which starts when I arrive and ends when I leave. I do my best to maximize the time spent on movement but to ensure a walk of 30+ minutes, I recommend the extended session to allow time to get your dog(s) ready to walk and giving them extra attention before I leave again.

- I always require a meet and greet prior to accepting a new booking. This is for both of us to make sure it's a fit. I can tell more in 10 minutes with your dog than the million questions I ask you. You and your pet get to see the place so when you drop them off, they've already been here so everyone is much more comfortable. The more I know about your pet's personality and your expectations, the easier it is for me to give everyone what they need. Quirks, triggers, behavioral issues, routines, "no-no's". favorite things - all of these help me build a personalized experience for your fur baby. The top 5 questions are typically: What do they love? What do they hate? Where do they sleep? What/when do they eat? Any special things I need to be aware of (injuries, allergies, medical issues, etc.).
