Highlights
Pet care experience
High-need and elderly pets welcome!
I began my petsitting career with a local company in 2011 and branched out on my own in 2014. I have professional experience with cats and dogs (and some amateur experience with my lil' cousin's rabbit while she was away at college) from young to geriatric, healthy to sick and everything in between. Whether it's helping socialize a young pup/new rescue, establishing a daily routine or diapering and moving an aging dog, I am ready to assist with your pet's needs.

Crystina also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
-FOR THE SAFETY OF ME, YOUR PET(S) AND YOUR HOME, I WILL NOT PROVIDE SERVICES FOR NEW CLIENTS OF ANY DOGS OR HIGH NEED CATS WITHOUT AN IN-PERSON MEET & GREET. -Concerned about damage to your home/property? I’m insured and can furnish proof upon request. We can also go over Rover's terms of service and The Rover Guarantee together to be clear on expectations of each party in case anything happens during your stay and how this compares to insurance and bonding. -[Feb. 2024] I am Covid vaccinated and still masking. I’ll greet you and show my face (ID) but I mask during 1 on 1 interactions. If this is an issue, there are other sitters who will be a better fit. -Once I've met you and your pet(s), I'll keep your profiles updated and proactively reach out for new health, behavioral and household info to make sure I'm always up to date. -I provide visit notes, pictures and as many check-ins as you need. -I keep all dogs ON LEASH unless we are in your properly fenced yard. -I am able to furnish references from current and former clients that demonstrate my experience and excellent track record. -Tricky spots in your house, the circuit breaker box, ect...let's talk about it during the meet and greet. -Live in an apartment building with a concierge? Let’s discuss key access. I want to avoid miscommunications w/ your leasing office that will cut into your pet’s care time.
Ratings and reviews
Crystina goes above & beyond for our pets and we’re always happy to leave them in her care. She sends lots of pictures and updates, is very attentive to the care instructions we leave for her, and we feel really confident that our dog and rabbit are in great hands with her!
We love having Crystina sit for our pets! We have a senior rabbit and a 4-year old super high energy pup, and she’s great with both! Detailed reports, adorable pics, and we feel a really high level of trust that they’re in great hands with her!
Crystina went above and beyond the call of duty when our dogs were being extra spicy. She modified our plan easily and communicated very well during that time. Highly recommend!
This was my first time having an overnight pet sitter and Crystina was great. She was kind, friendly, and provided all of the services my pets needed. She also gave thorough (and humorous) feedback everyday which helped with my peace of mind while I was away. Will definitely book with her again.
Thanks for taking such good care of Layla!
Crystina has taken care of our dog many times over the past few years, and she has consistently done an outstanding job. She communicates regularly, which we greatly appreciate.

Schedule
I have a FT job but my schedule is flexible. From your earliest and latest dog-walk and drop-in to house sitting, I manage my schedule well and will make sure that your pet is not rushed, is cared for and your home is secured and as you left it. 💡Booking: If you're a new client and decide to book my services <5 days before your desired window starts, please have a plan for key exchange, at least 3 possible meet & greet times and all of your pets supplies ready to expedite the process. 💡💡You are not being weird by booking weeks in advance and I encourage it. It gives you better odds at my availability. #firstcomefirstserved 💡💡💡 Sending a salutation and short message w/ your request is always appreciated. It sets the tone 😉 💸Looking to book overnight house sitting AND midday dog walks? Let’s talk.
