Former Vet Nurse : Expert Care+Pats

🐾 Stress-Free, Sunny & Skilled Pet Care 🐾 Hello! I’m here to provide a "home away from home" experience that focuses on your pet’s emotional and physical well-being. My approach is simple: low stress, high comfort. 🌟 Why Choose Me? Fear Free Elite Certified: I am trained in the highest standards of animal comfort. I understand body language and know how to keep even the most anxious "fur babies" feeling safe and relaxed. Medical & Pill Pro: Need someone comfortable with meds? Whether it’s daily supplements or tricky prescriptions, I’ve got the "pill-giving" magic touch from years of experience. The "Chill" Specialist: I believe in quality downtime. I love playing calming music (think soothing lo-fi or classical) to create a peaceful environment for our furry guests. ☀️ A Peaceful Sanctuary Your pet won’t just be staying in a house; they’ll be lounging in a quiet, sun-drenched home. * Sunshine & Nap Spots: Plenty of natural light for those perfect afternoon naps. Quiet & Calm: No loud noises or hectic energy—just a steady, gentle environment. One-on-One Attention: I love to "chill" and bond with my guests, ensuring they feel like part of the family. 🐕 My Experience I have a deep background in professional animal care, which means I’m prepared for anything. From senior dogs who need a gentle hand to playful pups who need a structured environment, I tailor my care to your pet's unique personality. My goal is for you to have total peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pet is in a safe, sunny, and loving space!

Hoi was exceptional with Thor. From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable and knew he would be in great hands. Our experience exceeded our expectations in every way. Hoi was very communicative throughout Thor's stay, sending plenty of photos and daily updates that kept us informed about his activities and overall well-being. From the pictures, it was clear that Thor was relaxed, happy, and comfortable—just as he would be at home. I was especially thrilled to see him enjoying trips to the dog park, making friends with dogs of all sizes, and going on exciting trail walks. It truly felt like a little staycation for our pup! Hoi was also incredibly accommodating when it came to Thor's special meals and specific care requirements. We are so grateful for the love and attention she gave him, and we would not hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommended!

Crystal was great watching Romeo! Her communication was timely and provided daily updates with photos and what Romeo was up to which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Her experience as a vet technician great knowing she is experienced around dogs and knows what they need to be safe. Upon contacting her, she asked very thorough questions which I greatly appreciated knowing that she cared about Romeo’s routine as well as what his health needs were. Overall, we had a great experience with Crystal and will use her again in the future if we need a sitter.

I couldn't have been happier with Crystal! You can tell immediately that she loves dogs more than anything in the world. She treats them as her own. And when my dog is with her, I know that she's in great hands. The only problem is, she makes the dogs fall in love with her! I highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my absolute priority. Whether in my home or yours, I maintain a vigilant and proactive approach to ensure every pet feels secure and cared for. In My Home: Secure Balcony Access: I have a balcony that we use for scheduled potty breaks. To ensure total safety, the door remains strictly shut and locked at all times when not in immediate use. Thoughtful Flooring: I have non-slip mats placed throughout the apartment. These provide excellent traction for senior dogs or playful pups, preventing slips and protecting joints during indoor movement. Pet-Centric Layout: My apartment is fully pet-friendly and designed for easy navigation. It’s a quiet, controlled environment where I can keep a close eye on my guests at all times. Trust & Reliability: Constant Supervision: Because I work from home, your pet is rarely, if ever, left unattended. I maintain a consistent routine that mimics their life at home to reduce any separation anxiety. Expert Eye: With my professional background and Fear Free Elite training, I am constantly monitoring body language and stress levels. I know how to spot a potential issue before it becomes a problem, ensuring a peaceful stay for everyone. Open Communication: You can expect regular photo updates and check-ins so you can see exactly how much fun (and relaxing) your pet is having!

Pets

A typical day

I believe a happy pet is one that is both physically active and mentally engaged! Our days are a perfect blend of structured play and soothing downtime. Enrichment Adventures: We’ll dive into the enrichment toys we have ready at home! Whether it’s puzzle feeders, snuffle mats, or treat-dispensing toys, I love using these to keep your pet’s mind sharp and curious. Sunny Lounge Sessions: After a good brain workout, we’ll head to the sunniest spots in the house. I love playing calming music to set a "spa-like" mood where your pet can truly decompress and chill. Tailored Fun: Whether it’s a gentle game of fetch or some quiet one-on-one bonding time, I tailor every activity to match your pet’s energy level and personality. By the time you pick them up, they’ll be relaxed, happy, and ready for a good night’s sleep!

To ensure your pet has the best possible experience in my home, please let me know the following details ahead of time: 1. Health & Medical Needs 💊 Are they currently on any medications? Please provide clear dosing instructions. Do they have any allergies or dietary restrictions? Are their vaccinations up to date? 2. Personality & Temperament 🐕 How do they react to other dogs? (As they will be meeting my dog, Ray, I want to ensure a smooth introduction!) Do they have any specific "triggers" or fears (e.g., thunder, loud trucks, or vacuum cleaners)? Are they comfortable with handling (paws, ears, or being picked up)? 3. Home Routine ☀️ What is their typical potty and feeding schedule? Are they used to sleeping in a crate, on a dog bed, or on the "human" bed? Do they have a favorite "calming" routine or toy? 4. Safety & Walking 🐾 Are they a flight risk or prone to "bolting" out of doors? How do they behave on a leash? Do they pull or get reactive toward squirrels or other dogs? 5. Training & Commands 🧠 What basic commands do they know? (Sit, Stay, Leave It, etc.) Are there any behaviors you are currently working on that you’d like me to stay consistent with?
