Availability
I work from home so I’m only gone for a couple/few hours out of the day to go to the gym and maybe grocery shop. I frequently go on walks when the weather permits and would love to bring your dog with me. If you have a dog who pulls as hard as they can I do prefer that you have a gentle leader. I am available all days and times when I am not traveling.

Information Crystal M. would like to know about your pet
It is important for me to know about the pets ahead of time to ensure their comfort and happiness during their stay. I like to gather information on their feeding routines, exercise needs, and any specific preferences or habits they may have. In addition to this I like to know what training you have in place to ensure that I continue with the good habits your dog has. Additionally, understanding their personality traits—such as whether they are shy, playful, or energetic—helps me create a tailored experience that meets their needs. Knowing about any medical conditions, allergies, or behavioral quirks is also essential for providing the best care possible. Overall, having this information allows me to make the pets feel safe and at home, ensuring a positive experience for both them and their owners.
A typical day
A typical day for us is filled with fun! (Weather depending) We start the morning with a refreshing walk around the neighborhood, where the dogs can explore and enjoy the sights and smells. Later in the day, we spend time playing in the backyard, where I have plenty of space for the dogs to run around and play fetch. Sometimes the walk is later in the day and playing in the yard is in the morning. My son loves to join in on the fun! He enjoys running around with the dogs, which creates a joyful and energetic atmosphere. We also take time to relax and enjoy each other's company, cuddling and bonding with the pets. Whether it’s playing, walking, or just lounging, every day is an opportunity for fun and connection with the animals in our care!

Pet care experience
I have loved animals since I was a small child. I got my first cat over 15 years ago and still love her dearly. My parents wouldn’t allow me to have a dog so I had to wait until I moved out when I was 20. After buying my house I rescued my neighbors dog that was permanently locked up in an outdoor kennel. Unfortunately she already had Lyme disease so it was for less than a year that I was able to give her a good quality of life. I then adopted my ex-coworkers German Shepard who was 5. Unfortunately despite all my efforts to have her live longer than her lifespan I lost her years later due to paralyzing seizures. Not too long after that I sold my house and have not been stable enough to get another dog due to my constant traveling. I love dogs and want to have another but can’t make a life long commitment at this time. However I can make a day/week/month long commitment to take care of your loved dog. It would be a pleasure to take care of your fur baby/babies.

Reviews
Crystal was fantastic for my pup who needs to be the only dog in the house. She was very kind and sent photographs and updates every day of our trip. She accommodated all of his emotional needs as well as physical.
We left for a week-long family visit and left Molly with Crystal. I hate to admit it because now it will be public, which means she might be booked if we need her again. Crystal was great; we were in communication the entire time. Molly was not eating, and I gave her some tips to help. Molly isn't easy to care for because she is so spoiled. I picked Molly up, and she was healthy and happy. I want to thank her for taking care of my small brat. Thanks, Crystal.
I had a wonderful experience with Crystal as my dog’s pet sitter. She was extremely communicative throughout the entire time, keeping me updated with daily check-ins and photos. Crystal followed all of my instructions to the letter, and you could truly tell she treats pets like family. My dog was well cared for and seemed so happy when I returned. I highly recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a reliable, loving pet sitter!
Crystal did a great job. Very professional. Came on time and did all the things we asked of her to perfection!
