Safety, trust & environment

Routines are super important for pets, if you don't have one I can create one for you and your fur baby that is specialized for them; that way you always know what to expect. I always ask for permission when it comes to treats, the rooms in the home that are off limits, and what animals can be with who/how many I can walk at a time.

Information Crystal P. would like to know about your pet

Important things I tend to ask are, if the pet is allergic to anything, have any special needs, and what time/type of medications are taken if any. Any house rules or training rules you wish for me to follow. Pet, person, cage, food, toy, or even leash aggressive are also things I prefer to know about. If they have had their rabies shots and of course, what toys or activities your pet enjoys!

A typical day

I love to play catch, chase, and stimulate a dog's and a cat's mind with fun toys and games. If the dog is not the total energetic type then taking a calm walk is a nice way to still have the dog enjoy the fresh air. As for cat's, sometimes they want their space, and that's okay by me! Sitting near them or even just checking in on them to make sure they are alright are also options in order to make them feel safe. It is their home after all! I'm just the guest babysitter! I do also enjoy leaving small treats and tokens of my appreciation after each stay!

Crystal is awesome! She has cared for our senior cat, Patches on many occasions and remains our first choice caregiver. Can’t recommend her enough!

Crystal has been wonderful. She has taken care of our geriatric cat Patches who suffers from hyperthyroidism 3 times now and has done a wonderful job of ensuring Patches gets her medication despite being her finicky and challenging nature. We will continue to call on Crystal whenever we need a sitter!

Crystal was great. We’ll definitely try to rebook her next time we travel. She took excellent care of our elderly cat, Patches who requires medication for hyperthyroidism. She was very pleasant and professional asking all the right questions when we met. It was very comforting to receive photos of their daily visits while we were out of the country. She even left Patches with some new toys after her final visit. We would recommend Crystal without reservation.
