Highlights
Pet care experience
We love pets!
Who's a good kitty/ doggie/ chickie/ bunny/ birdie/ turtle/ goat/ danger noodle? We have experience with all of those pets, as our own, fosters, and petsitting. Rover was recommended to us as a way to find cats and dogs for boarding, but we can also board or petsit chickens, bunnies, birds, turtles, goats, snakes, fish, lizards, and other animals. We love 'em all! Our house is a loving home in a good neighborhood. Pets that board with us are absolutely allowed on all the furniture, get their own room, and get lots of petting and snuggling. You can drop off at our house, or we can pick up at yours, or we can housesit for you. Let us spoil your pets with top shelf treatment while you are away! Love, Crystal, Russ, Jon, Ben, Em, Livi, Teddie, Napoleon, and Butters Being that our home has several people in it, including one teen who started homeschooling in 2020, we arrange our schedules to accommodate pets' needs. For example, our dogs are usually walked at 6 am, noon, 6 pm and 9 pm. Depending on pets' needs we can take them on frequent walks. Our yard has been free of chemicals for nearly a decade so we don't have to worry if a rabbit munches on some violets or a turtle finds the dandelion leaves tasty. We have moveable fencing and shade for rabbits and turtles to get outside time, and we stay with them to ensure no escapes and no trouble from other animals. Or, if you prefer, we can take extra precautions to NOT let your pet outside. And, we can keep them off of furniture and beds if that's the rule at your house.

Ratings and reviews
Crystal went above and beyond to help us feel comfortable leaving our dog with her. She sent several pictures during our trip, and Pennie looked happy and relaxed. She was very accommodating when schedule changes arose.
Happy kitties, happy days. If we have to be away from home we know they will be safe and return to us happy after having had a vacation with Crystal!
Great care, great flexibility, wonderful communication, we couldn't ask for more for our kitties.
My critters seemed happy and content on my return home. I was worried because I was never away from my dog for so long but it seems he made a new friend and my spooky cat became brave and made a friend
Crystal and her family were absolutely wonderful! This was our first time leaving our fur baby with anyone and we could not have had a better experience. Crystal provided updates, pictures, and videos, right from the first few moments, which gave us so much tranquillity knowing our pup was in such good hands. We would absolutely use Crystal again! Thanks you Crystal!!!
We can't thank Crystal enough for the care that she gave to our four legged friends. She was so professional and friendly and gave us updates while we were away.

Schedule
Our schedules are a hybrid of telework, cyberschool and in-person. We typically walk dogs before work, at lunchtime, after work and before bed. Ditto on weekends though the "work" is housework.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We're very flexible, depending on your pet's needs. Two guest rooms in our house are available for keeping pet guests separate, if that's better for them. Or, if we all get along, we can hang out all together in the living room, kitchen, etc.
Pets
A typical day
For dog walks, we have lots of choices and usually follow the dog's nose and explore! We always check for ticks. For cats, we have a cat-shaped laser toy and we've even crocheted catnip toys that look like watermelon slices. For chickens, we bring lots of yummy treats.
