I love dogs of all sizes! Book now

Pet care experience

I have always wanted to start a dog-related business. Since 5 yrs old, I wanted to be a vet. I have nursed puppies and birthed litters that got stuck in birth canal. I walk all of my big dogs with my son's stroller without any pulling. I run a tight shift, my dogs listen better than my kid. I know the needs of a dog; I am a grade A provider. I can groom, train, and obviously play well with any dog of any kind! I love this job. I'm easy to talk to and I'm a great listener. I will do my best to please the owners and pets because they are who matters most. I am not nervous with pit bulls or other "territorial" breeds. Dogs with training issues will be asked to come back for private training with me and the owner. Meetings to address the issues and give some pointers on what to work on to discontinue the problem areas. All dogs strive to do is please. You set the rules and they will listen. I try to let my dogs out to potty; every 2 til 4 hours. Same if I'm caring for your dogs. I love to give a dog a good workout before leaving. Therefore, they sleep while I'm gone. I will treat your animals like my own. I would love to do some meet and greets for free to get to know some local clients!

Crystal did an awesome job taking care of our dogs over our vacation! We would recommend to anyone on the shore. The rate was reasonable and she even made friends with one of our dogs who isn’t usually trusting. Thank you Crystal!

Crystal was extremely accommodating when I requested a sitter just a few days before I needed one. Rarely does it seem possible for us to get down for a rocket launch but when I saw the weather was supposed to be good and the kids had off for school I had to try. All I needed was a dog sitter for two 50 lb dogs. Crystal came through. Our one dog is getting older and the other can be anxious but Crystal was able to handle them. She understands dogs and is knowledgeable about their behavior and health. Definitely comforting to know they are in capable hands. I would certainly use Crystal again.

Crystal responded to our request super quickly - she was a life saver when we needed a last minute dog sitter. It’s clear she has experience with many different kinds of dogs.

Information Crystal K. would like to know about your pet

My number one concern is my son and my animals. If your dog has aggression or any biting history, I will have to go to your house to provide any service. I won't risk my own families health. My dogs are completely non-aggressive, my 2 yr old sits on their faces and hugs their necks. Their only response is to lick him until he stops. Please, be sure to be up-to-date on shots and flea preventatives. I have a few local vet friends which are very flexible with prices for shots and visits. They also do pop-up vaccinations at local fire houses. I love all dogs from pit bulls to labs; nothing scares me. I'd like to know any conditions or special treatment ahead of time. I would like to do a meet-and-greet before every new customer starts services with me. I also provide bathes and cutting nails when asked. That will be an additional charge of up to 45 dollars

A typical day

I have a huge back yard with lots of room to play semi fenced in.. we are currently working on fencing around the yard i have a big dog cage outside also and leashes locked down on a pole and a step railing. Our dogs love to play fetch and chase eachother. During the summer we have pools to cool off in and some days we go to the boat docks to splash and run. On nice days I leash up the dogs and take them on a long walk around thw island and on the nature trail on chincoteague island, virginia. By the end of the day, all the dogs wanna do is sleep! Same for my son! Happy mommy!
