Safety, trust & environment

We always start with a meet and greet to be able to learn your pets daily schedule. Our goal is to keep it as similar as possible to keep the stress of your leaving to a minimum. Most animals have a routine and keeping this routine helps immensely. We feed, water, potty breaks, walk, play, and clean litter boxes. We also offer mail retrieval, vacuuming, and general house cleanup to make sure you come home to a clean house you left us with or better! We always hang out for a minimum of 30 minutes with your pet(s), but we often stay longer.

Information Crystal R. would like to know about your pet

It is helpful to know an animals likes and dislikes as well as daily routine. This reduces stress and ensures when you return that you shouldn't have to struggle with reseting routines. I love all breeds from pit bulls to chihuahuas to huskys to mastiffs. We also like to know any previous bite history or aggression, dislike of men or anything, and any ways the dog does not like to be touched. We also require knowing your vet and permission to take animals in if there is a problem, we will call you on our way if it's an emergency!

A typical day

We will do whatever your dog is used to. Lots of love, playing, and absolutely walks can be arranged! Many of our clients dogs love fetch, others just want cuddles and belly rubs. Some love their walks, it all depends on the dog! Cats are the same, some just want company, others want little to do with us (but usually that changes over time), and others want to play play play!

Pet care experience

I currently work at my own business: Pawfect Tails LLC as a full time pet and house sitting along with my Rover clients. Often my fiance, Pierce, accompanies me as my partner. I previously worked at a doggie daycare, a shelter as a vet assistant, and have lived with dogs and cats all my life. I also have had ferrets, sugar gliders, birds, fish, and a bearded dragon. We foster cats as well. At this time I cannot board anyone at our house but we look forward to in the future! I currently have many clients so references can be made avaliable if you would like. I have watched multiple cats and dogs and would love to meet yours sometime soon. I will be glad to work out pricing that works for you as well if you are in a tight situation.

Crystal was great with our cat Otis! She and her family came to check on him and spend lots of extra time with him. She kept in contact with me through very entertaining updates and had great instincts about what he wanted and needed. Would definitely use her and Pierce and Tala again!

Crystal & Pierce were wonderful!! They kept us updated, sent pictures, made sure our dogs were well loved & exercised. Also, they went above & beyond when we had a pipe start leaking in our house! They handled it first & then let us know what had happened, including sending pics. They left the house as they got it, cleaned up after themselves & checked in to make sure we got home safely & that all was well. We will definitely be using them again! :)

Crystal was great!! She gave us a detailed summary of each visit, as well as many pictures. We felt very confident with Crystal taking care of our dogs and loving them just as we would! We will most definitely contact her in the future.
