I’m currently a graduate student pursuing my second Master’s of Science! I completed my MSc in Medical Genetics at UBC in 2025 and am working towards finishing a degree in Genetic Counselling. As a busy student, I find joy in the little moments that I get to spend with others pets and caring for them. I fit pet-sitting into my schedule by visiting in the early morning and evenings. I tend to be flexible Tuesdays, Thursdays, and during the weekends.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Crystal and I’m excited to be your next pet-sitter! I have always loved caring for the pets of friends and family and I want to extend that care to your pets. I have experience with a diverse range of pet personalities from anxious to very charismatic. I have walked and looked after the dogs of friends and family, being a trusted guardian in those days where they just needed a little extra support in caring for their furry friend. I’ve also always loved cats but ever since being a cat aunt, I’ve fallen in love with cat sitting! I look forward to caring for your loved one, dogs and cats alike :) Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have, I’m always happy to chat.

Crystal is an amazing cat sitter! She’s very attentive and provided updates while I was away. My cat got comfortable with her which is an amazing sign

Crystal was amazing with our two senior dogs, Coco and Vivian. She planned everything ahead of time and also accommodated our booking less than a week heads up! She kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the day. You could tell she genuinely cared about them. She took them on great walks, fed them on schedule, and even stayed longer bf/after walk. Vivian ended up napping on her lap 😻. Crystal was communicative, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. We felt completely at ease leaving our girls with her. Would absolutely book again!

Thanks for taking care of Phoebe, she must have been pretty relaxed to be snoozing easily when we got back! We’ll book again next time we’re in town
