Pet care experience

Experienced Private Boarding

Petsitting and private boarding for over 20 years. I only watch family-friendly and cat-friendly dogs and specialize in senior care and special needs animals; rearranging my home and schedule as needed to make being in my home as close to being in your home as possible. But all ages and stages of life welcome :) However, I do not board aggressive breeds- sorry. I also have a giant room full of lovely fuzzy beds and toys dedicated to cat boarding for our feline friends that prefer their own company.

This is the second time Crystal has taken care of our Winston, and her and her family are the sweetest people you will ever meet. They cared for Winston as if he was their own and I’m pretty sure he didn’t really want to come home!

Crystal was so lovely with my dog and cats. She sent photo updates of them and made my animals feel at home. Would definitely book with her again!

Crystal and her family are such caring and sweet hosts! They took such great care of my dog. I will definitely be using them again in my future bookings.

We had an amazing experience when Crystal took care of our special needs cat Tux. Tux has frequent seizures and takes medication three times a day. Crystal was able to send us pictures of Tux during her stay and she always responded to our messages whenever we checked in and asked for updates.

Crystal is absolutely amazing! She is extremely caring and kind to the pets she takes in. Her communication is outstanding as well. She gets back to you very quickly and is flexible on drop off and pick up. I highly recommend Crystal and she will always be our first choice!

Crystal was amazing. We had our 1 year old cat boarded for a few days while we were on vacation. She took very good care of him, despite our cat’s slight mischievous behavior. Her cat room allowed him to be alone so we didn’t have to worry about anything and she even hid treats for his to find during the nignt since he seems to be most active then… Will definitely come back if we need him boarded again. Also gave me updates with pictures a couple times a day.

Schedule

I'm a stay-at-home mom (SAHM) and offer around the clock care. Cage free boarding unless a crate is provided and requested by the owner. Photos and/or videos daily. Baby gates are used as needed during meals and dinner for separation between pups from different house holds.
