Uptown📍Your Pup’s Favorite Pillow
Hello! I am a new homeowner on Lawrence and Kenmore using Rover as a deterrent of adopting my own pup. With working remote I’ve began hosting doggy daycare so frequently have 2-3 pups a day. If you need a boarding with no other dogs present I can certainly make that happen (with an up charge). If your family has more than one dog I will accept a second at no additional cost for overnight boardings. I’m single with no children or pets of my own so your pooch will have my undivided attention. I’m well versed with Yorkies but can confidently watch dogs of all shapes, sizes* and ages (senior dogs melt my heart). I enjoy walking and bathing pups as well as lazy nights on the couch with unlimited treats as permitted. I will follow strict diets and provide medication as needed. I’m a homebody who’s available most weekends and work M-F 8-5 at Baird & Warner in the Loop (update: working from home since March 2020). I am 35 years old and originally from southern Ohio but I’ve lived in Chicago over 10 years. In my free time I enjoy watching football and basketball, volunteering around the city, playing board games, seeing live shows, cooking, and listening to country music. I can provide photos of my home upon request. You can learn more about me from my Instagram Merrittc2 *Wednesday evenings from September to June I am tutoring in Roger’s Park roughly 5:30-8:30pm* Puptown’s #1 dog nanny - I genuinely love dog boarding and can't wait to meet my next furry friend:) Fully vaccinated💉 • If you or anyone you know is struggling for their next meal please visit: https://www.lasagnalove .org/request I am permanently working from home Monday through Friday from 9 to 5 so can easily and enjoyably watch your cats or dogs throughout the day! I have a fenced in yard, one traditional metal crate, 2 soft sided pop up tents (dogs love them!) and 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms so can easily keep dogs separated as needed. I have most male dogs wear a belly wrap to prevent spraying, let me know if that’s not okay.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Crystal does a great job with our dog Milo, and she has been so considerate and accommodating of our schedule! She is our go-to dog sitter!
Crystal's great! Definitely recommend.
Crystal made the whole process easy and took great care of our pup!
As usual, Crystal is wonderful with Bubbles !! Bubbles is very shy and usually shakes a lot before going in any kind of day care, but he never does that when I drop him off at Crystal's ! She is really kind and pampers him a lot!
Crystal was great at watching Brownie and Boba. We appreciated her taking care of our fur babies!
All was great! Crystal's drop in really helped.

I permanently work from home so can be with your pet all day and very flexible with pick up and drop off days and hours.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard and several rooms for pups to see safe and relaxed if they want alone time away from other pets.
A typical day
Taking walks to Puptown beach, baths and pampering, unlimited cuddles, playing fetch in the yard, tons of photo shoots, and splitting a rotisserie chicken together.
