Pet care experience

As a former alpaca and goat farmer with over 16 years of experience, I thoroughly enjoy caring for animals. Watching with wonder with each new interaction and savoring the sweet moments of all living beings brings much joy.

She was very communicative and attentive to our fur babies. She took lots of pictures and made sure to watch out for some health concerns w our senior pup. The house was very clean and everything was well organized.

Kristalyn might be one of the most pet responsible people that I know. Having known her for over 17 years I can say she goes above and beyond to care for her own pets, knowing their habits and behaviors and noticing signs that are normal and not normal. Kristalyn is a great communicator, is honest and dependable, and is a hard worker. She would, undoubtedly, make a fabulous pet sitter!

I am writing in support of Kristalyn B., who provides affectionate, skilled, and reliable pet care. I have observed her work with pets for over 15 years. With patience and kindness, she has cared for our cats and dogs for periods of one day to several weeks, including walks, food, water, and clean up. The pets have loved her, and she has been easy to work with while we were planning trips. She has also helped look after the pets and keep them safe during short-notice emergencies. Although our outdoor birds are not officially pets, she has willingly filled the feeders for our bird friends near the house. Because of our extended acquaintance, I know that Kristalyn B. also has given fine long-term care to large pets like goats and alpacas. I highly recommend her as a trustworthy and pleasant person. She will be an asset to Rover, your customers, and the pets you serve. Sincerely, Dr. Anna Eblen

I highly recommend Kristalyn as a pet caregiver! She took wonderful care of our fish and pond while we were away, and we came home to everything looking healthy, clean, and well cared for. She was responsible, dependable, and clearly treated our pets with genuine care and attention, giving us complete peace of mind. Beyond our own experience, Kristalyn has years of hands-on experience caring for animals. She previously managed a farm with alpacas, goats, and cats. I've always been impressed by her knowledge, dedication, and compassion. She is incredibly competent, trustworthy, and attentive to each animal's unique needs. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, loving, and experienced pet sitter.
