Ms. Crystal was so kind, loving and patient with our tiny 3 month old Teddy! Puppies require a lot of love and attention as they are like sponges soaking everything in at a fast pace. They are also a lot more work than a trained adult dog. Ms. Crystal treated Teddy like her very own “grand dog”. She sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend to give us a glimpse of their day and to reassure us he was doing very well. I’m a meticulous person and she followed all of teddy’s care instructions. She even provided us with tips as new puppy parents. He was calm and relaxed when we picked him up and Ms Crystal even gave him a new toy that he loves! We are so happy we found her! We look forward to booking her first years to come!

Mrs. Crystal has been a Godsend! After several stays with her, we can honestly say that finding someone you trust completely with your dog is priceless, and that’s exactly what we found in her. She consistently provides exceptional care, thoughtful updates, and genuine love for Jaxon. He is always excited to see her and comes home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Knowing he is in such capable and caring hands gives us tremendous peace of mind whenever we’re away. We are incredibly grateful and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy sitter. ❤️
