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. ❤️

This was our second booking with Crystal and it was great! She treats our Leo like her own and we’ll definitely book again. I highly recommend her!

Crystal was very caring and thoughtful while taking care of our pet. She was in constant communication with us and sent photos of him daily. I highly recommend her services and we will be booking with her again.

My furbaby, Warner, has only stayed overnight with family members before, and he is usually very skittish around other people. However, when we met Crystal during the meet-and-greet, he seemed comfortable and at ease right away. Crystal quickly allayed my fears by sending videos, texts, and pictures throughout Warner’s stay. She also took the time to ask thoughtful questions to better understand his diet, routine, and habits. When I arrived to pick him up, Warner jumped out of the car to give Crystal one more hug. Thank you, Crystal, for taking such wonderful care of Warner. I look forward to scheduling future stays with you.
