TLC for all dogs!

Wow, I have had the pleasure and honor of taking care of many fur babies since being on Rover and I absolutely love them all! I love to pamper dogs and make them feel at home. I enjoy daily cuddles and multiple walks with them as well as making my home theirs. I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe and loved in our home. Most dogs enjoy sleeping with us and we always have lots of room in our king size bed:) Our yard is partially fenced and is landscaped. We have lots of rock and some turf for potty areas but mostly I like to take pups for short walks for frequent potty breaks and otherwise, guarantee 2 long walks/day. I also enjoy taking dogs to Gellatly dog park where they can enjoy a dip in the lake and play off leash with other dogs when the weather is warm. I appreciate the sensitivities and individual differences of different dogs and try to make them as comfortable as possible during a time that may, initially, be stressful to them.

Crystal was fantastic! We had a last-minute booking with her; she was very accommodating and sent us lots of photos and updates! She took our dog on lots of walks, and our dog came home very happy and tired from a fun few days! Thanks Crystal!

This was our first time using Rover and Crystal did not disappoint! She provided our corgi with plenty walks and cuddles and us with pictures of her adventures. I had a very happy and tired puppy when we got her home 💕

Crystal took amazing care of our 16 year old Labradoodle and was flexible with our pickup and drop off times. She was able to give her medicine for her allergies daily and followed specific diet instructions. Her house was perfectly setup for looking after her and is located in a quiet neighborhood for walks. You can tell she is caring and sent updates and photos of our girl. Would recommend Crystal for anyone looking for a safe home to leave their fur baby.

Schedule

Your dog's needs are my top priority and I learn from them what they need and when. When they wake in the am we go out for a walk and then usually it is meal time. Usually they will stay close while I cook and do household chores and often follow me around. We will go for walks and have some play time and cuddles. Evening walks are a must before bedtime and perhaps maybe a treat before settling down for the night.

Safety, trust & environment

I always keep pets on a leash when they are unfamiliar with me and their new temporary environment. As we grow to trust each other and I learn your dogs ability to follow commands, some brief off leash opportunities may be appropriate and provide freedom to explore and play in areas that are safe for pets such as secluded trails. I have the ability to contain a pet in a comfortable boot/laundry area for their safety, if need be, when we have to leave them alone for short periods of time (grocery shopping or dining out). Pets are always welcome to joins us on the furniture and can make themselves at home on lots of blankets and pillows. Essentially, our home is their home!

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs for walks around my neighborhood. I can play with dog toys in my house as well as in our yard and larger open spaces in my neighborhood and parks.
