Professional Experience

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Crystal. My availability is currently Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday anytime. Other hours are limited due to my job.I have a variety of experience working with animals in a professional setting. *All pictures on my profile are animals I have cared for.* Past experience & qualifications: *Kennel Staff at Bloomington Animal Shelter *Dog Training Intern with All Dogs Go To Kevin (ADGTK) *Dog Grooming Intern/Dog Bather *Kennel Technician at Medina County SPCA *Rover Sitter for pets just like yours since May 2017 *Animal lover & pet parent my entire life In detail: Professionally I have worked as a dog bather/grooming apprentice handling many sizes of all varying temperaments. During this time I gained many experiences working with dogs in a very stimulating environment. I consider this job to have taught me tons of unexpected real-life experiences in a somewhat unpredictable environment. Previously I interned for a positive reward based dog training facility (All Dogs Go To Kevin LLC). Most of my hands on dog training was supervising dogs in Puppy Socials to prevent dogs from being overstimulated and get puppies used to socialization and everyday occurrences that can seem scary. I also put my personal dog Wendy through reactive classes to gain more knowledge on how to handle the barking and lunging at dogs and strangers. This class taught me valuable knowledge that has helped set Wendy up for a manageable life and also taught me the value of being a good teacher. Other classes I took with my personal pet(s)/ and observed include Agility, Puppy Manners, Canine Good Citizen, and Basic Manners. During the time at ADGTK, I begin working at Medina SPCA as a kennel tech at a no-kill animal shelter. As a kennel tech, I was responsible for cleaning and feeding all animals at the shelter, as well as providing dogs with daily walks and an appropriate amount of exercise. Aside from my professional experience, I grew up with many different breeds of dogs of all sizes (e.g. Dobermans, Rat Terriers, English Shepherds, Boston Terriers, Etc.) as well as cats & ferrets. Currently, I have one Cavapoo named Smee & a kitten called Mochi. Additionally, I have house sat for countless families, friends, and neighbors throughout the years and worked for Rover for the two years.

Information Crystal L. would like to know about your pet

I want to make your pet as comfortable and close to his natural environment as possible, so please include any details that can help in his/her time away from you. Pets that I don't work with are pets that are too fearful to come in contact with humans and/or that bite. This is because I am not a certified trainer, so I consider this to be beyond my professional experience. Harnesses for walking are strongly encouraged.

A typical day

Normally I walk your dog in a nearby park or neighborhood.
