Pet care experience

An affordable doggie daycare

I have been interested in animals all my life. I have owned reptiles, amphibans, dogs, cats, rodents, and the list goes on. I love to walk and play with animals as I am very energetic and adventurous. I love interacting with the animals in my neighborhood as does my own dog. I used to do doggie sleepovers with my Godmother so I thought that this would be a great way for me to earn money and continue to something I love at the same time. I love dogs of every size and I do not believe there is a such a thing as a bad behaved dog. If there one thing I can guarantee it is that any and every dog left in my care will be treated like my own.

. Crystal was wonderful! She kept me updated on how Ms. Sophie was doing and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Sophie even made a new friend while she was there! Crystal was also very accommodating when it came to arranging a convenient time and place for drop-off and pick-up. I especially appreciated that she prioritized safety by suggesting we meet in a public place. If Crystal doesn't retire from pup sitting, I would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend her! 🐾💕

So grateful to have Crystal as our sitter here in Lexington. Beta always has a wonderful time with her and I always get updates during her stay. Recently I had a flight that got canceled and was able to communicate with Crystal for a later pick up. She is very accommodating and will love on your fur baby as if it’s her own. I highly recommend her!

Doggy Day Care • Sep 29, 2023

Crystal was very communicative so I felt safe that nothing was going to fall through. Crystal met me outside to receive the dogs at noon and then when I came to pick them up at 6 PM that evening, she met me outside with them. I never went inside her apartment so I didn’t meet her little dogs. After about a half hour after I had dropped them off, I texted her to see if they were OK. I had dropped off a bag of treats for them for the six hour stay but it didn’t look like any of them had been given to the dogs. I’m not sure if she was home all day with them or if she had to go to work. The dogs seemed fine when I picked them up so I’m guessing everything went well, therefore, gave her a tip when I picked them up?
