Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
She always does so much to care for Ivy and is so kind and intentional with her! Definitely recommend for any care needs!
Following our meet and greet, I was very comfortable, leaving Mabel in the care of Crystal for a few days while I had to go to town. She was wonderful about sending photos, videos, and brief reports. Mabel did very well and Crystal clearly provided excellent care for her! She’s very experienced, confident, and kind, and we will not hesitate to request her for daycare or boarding again in the future!
Crystal was great! She kept us updated with pictures and messages. Our dog Bailey was in great spirits following her two week stay with Crystal. Thank you Crystal for taking such good care of Bailey.
Crystal took excellent care of our pug, Winston. First experience with her and all worked out well. Thank you.
Crystal took care of my dog for an 11 day trip. I did not worry that once because my dog is so happy around her and her family! She sent pictures which increased my confidence in my dog staying with her and her family.
Can’t recommend Crystal enough. Our pup loves her, and so do we!

Schedule
My partner and I both work from home and we have two dogs of our own, so pet care fits naturally into our daily routine.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have 2 friendly, crate trained dogs who get walks 2-3 times/day. We also recently built a mini dog park in our back yard for dogs who prefer to be off leash, but also need to be supervised while outside.
Pets
A typical day
I will do my best to learn your dog’s needs and then adapt to those needs to help them feel comfortable. One of my dogs loves nothing more than to lounge on the couch and cuddle. My other dog is much more active and playful. I can easily accommodate different lifestyles to help your dog feel right at home.
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsDogs over 1 year oldSpayed and neutered dogs onlyNo females in heatCrate-trained dogs onlyTakes only 1 client at a timeCrystal can host up to 1 pet per night
- I require all of my dogs to be crate trained for everyone’s safety, and for owners to provide their own crates. My dogs are only crated when there is no one home, during drop off/pick up time for my in-home preschool, or if they need a safe place to escape. For new clients, I also require a meet and greet between our dogs before I will accept a booking.
