15+ Years of Loving Care for Pets
Hi! I’m Crystal, a lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet sitter with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. As a proud pet owner myself, we have a 2 year old Goldendoodle, and an easy going 4 year old daughter. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable to care for your furry family members. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of pet behavior, my gentle approach to training puppies, and my specialized care for senior pets. I’m experienced in administering medications, managing mobility issues, and creating a calm, nurturing environment for older animals. I also work with pets who have anxiety or special needs, using positive reinforcement and patience to help them feel safe and loved. Whether it’s daily dog walks, overnight stays, or drop-in visits, I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I’m based in Coeur d’Alene Idaho, and serve the surrounding areas. I’m fully insured, background-checked, and committed to keeping your pets safe, happy, and loved. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet your pets and become their new favorite human!

Ratings and reviews
Crystal and her family are the sweetest! I got a lot of photos over the weekend and would totally recommend and leave my doggy with her again!
Amazing! I would bring our pup back to you again any time! Thank you so much for treating Finn like he was your own! He sure got some special attention from you:)
Great stay for our pup! Very friendly and took great care of our dog.
Crystal was wonderful! She sent pictures and videos of our girl out on walks. Our dog was tired after her fun day!
Crystal did a great job watching over my dog Frank. He was in good hands and I couldn't have asked for a better experience with her. It felt like dropping him off to family.
I am a student and work full time so Crystal’s daily walks have made a huge difference for our anxious pup. He’s happier, calmer, and absolutely adores her. Highly recommend
Calendar and availability
Schedule
With over 15 years of experience, pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm. Mornings begin with walks and feedings, followed by midday drop-in visits and playtime. Afternoons are reserved for second walks, pet taxi services, and prepping for overnight stays. Evenings wrap up with final check-ins and pet updates. Weekly tasks include restocking supplies, scheduling meet-and-greets, and updating care plans to ensure every pet receives loving, personalized attention. Our pets are our family, and I enjoy every minute of caring for them.

Safety, trust & environment
I strive to create a safe, loving, and structured environment for the pets in my care, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting theirs. In my home, I make sure pets are comfortable and secure by pet-proofing the space, providing cozy bedding, and offering plenty of toys and enrichment activities. I follow each pet’s specific feeding schedule, ensure fresh water is always available, and give them daily walks, playtime, and affection. I’m attentive to their health and behavior, and I administer medications when needed, always keeping a calm, nurturing atmosphere. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the utmost respect and professionalism. I follow detailed care instructions, maintain cleanliness, and send regular updates with photos and notes so owners feel confident and reassured. My services include feeding, walking, administering medications, and light household tasks like collecting mail or watering plants if requested. I’m vigilant about safety, locking doors, monitoring pets closely, and keeping emergency contacts and vet information readily available. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for, regardless of their location.

A typical day
We have a pretty active family that loves to hike, play fetch in the yard, walk around, and look at all the birds in the neighborhood. We have such a pleasant place here in CDA, we spend a lot of time enjoying nature and playing with all the toys :)
