Hey! So excited to petsit your pup!

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years. I treat my puppy like a family member and will do the same for yours! Since they are family they are allowed on the couch and will get plenty of belly rubs & cuddles.

Crystal is a great pet caregiver. I have entrusted her with my own dog numerous times. She has walked and dog sit my dog multiple times and has been consistently great at it. My dog loves her! She's great with the leash and understands that every dog may be different and she's able to adjust based on each dog's needs. She gives me adequate updates of my dog and sends me pictures.

Met Crystal when my Lola, my short hair Chihuahua, met Diego who is Crystal's dog at the Wicker Park field. Lola tried to steal Diego's tennis ball. We keep seeing each other in the same park and over time we just started to talk about our dogs and both dogs played more and more with each other. I can let you know that from what I have seen Crystal is a loving dog person. Diego seems so happy and as you know a happy puppy means a good owner. I grew up with dogs and I have experience in seeing the difference in a strong dog owner and an owner that allows the dog to walk all over them. Crystal is a strong dog owner. She trained Diego and he's a shih tzu a notorious stubborn breed. So you know she put in the effort in training Diego. The same kind of effort she will put in making sure your dog/puppy feels taken care of. I know she will let your dog explore, give your dog time to investigate the new neighborhood and prioritize Diego and your dog the same. Diego is a typical dog; loves to investigate and chill once he gets to know you. I've never seen Diego act aggressive to my Lola and he outweighs her my like 5lbs. Know that Crystal will take care of your love one as she takes care of her Diego.

Crystal is a detail person and this extends to her pup Diego. I recall her doing immense research to fully understand what Diego can and cannot eat when Diego first arrived. She filled her fridge with post/reminders on what Diego can eat raw and what needs to be cook. Her house is filled with dog toy for Diego and the toys she have work to challenge Diego on different levels. I recall a toy where Diego needs to work for a treat. To me this means that Crystal is conscience on making sure her pup is challenged intellectually. She might not have a grassy back yard but I have seen her make sure Diego visits a park 4 times a week and a dog park like 3 times a week. Recently she dragged me to Fred Anderson park (a 16 min car ride) because Diego was restless and needed to release some energy and hang out with his pup kind. I would trust Crystal with my dog (toy poodle mix) Luna, if I take a trip put of town. I would know that Luna would not be ignored and that Crystal will look out for her.
