Pet care experience
Hi there, my name is Kryssel (kris-SELL)! I've always loved all sorts of animals. As a kid, I had a guinea pig and I currently have a pet tarantula named Genmaicha, so I enjoy taking care of exotic animals in addition to cats and dogs. If you have small non-traditional pets that need to be looked after, please reach out! I have about 4 years of pet care experience, mainly from looking after my family dog, Mocha, a playful little Shih Tzu. So, I'm used to high-energy fur babies! I also have experience taking care of my friends' cats. Although I don't have a cat of my own yet, I absolutely love them and respect their boundaries. Winning a cat's trust feels like an achievement, which I hope I can do with yours :) I understand cats and dogs can have very different personalities, so I tailor my interactions to their unique preferences.
Reviews
Kryssel is very thorough with the meet and greet, trying to note things down about how to take care of our bunny - Mochi. She is also very accommodating with schedule, went to thr appointment early when our bunny ran out of hay. Definitely recommend!
Marley is so happy to have had Kryssel as his walker and any other doggo/cat will be lucky to have her as well!
Kryssel is the best! She is very responsive to messages and I enjoy reading the report cards she writes for Marley as well as the pictures during their walks (: definitely book her!
Kryssel is so great with kitties :3 “it takes one to know one” is what I think about with her and cats. She really knows how to read their energy n respect their boundaries. I’ve known Kryssel for a while now and have seen how she took on all the responsibilities of taking care of her family’s dog and the amount of advocating she had to do for the pup. She’s an animal ally! making sure their needs are being met in their physical health and emotional well-being. I have three cats and just seeing her love for kitties warms my heart!! She definitely has a skill with kitties that is so rare and special.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will happily greet your pets and give them pets if they allow me to :) I know that especially with cats, I need to earn their trust, so I won't force anything if they're not comfortable yet. I'll keep your pets company and provide attention even if they're "low-maintenance". I'll ensure they have enough fresh water and food, as well as scoop their litter boxes! I carry extra waste bags with me and cat treats as well, so if you’re running low on bags I got you covered!
Information Kryssel E. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has been vaccinated or any specific quirks/behaviors unique to your pet. I’d also like to know their diet, daily routine, if they take medications, and most importantly if they have reactive behavior.
A typical day
I think a typical day will be dependent on the pet I’m watching! For walks, I’ll give your dog some time to smell and explore their surroundings so they are mentally stimulated. I like to keep extra waste bags on me, so no worries if you run out of them. I’m pretty straightforward when it comes to dog walks unless you specify that you want some play time included (fetch, tug of war etc). Overall, I just want to make sure your pet isn’t stressed and isn’t trying to eat strange things off the ground. For drop-ins, I’ll make sure to stay the entire 30 or 60 minutes to keep your fur baby company! I’ll scoop and refill their litter boxes, fill their food and water bowls, and do any necessary cleanups. I take reading body language very seriously, so if your pet is up for it, the rest of the time will be spent playing!

Availability
🐱IMPORTANT!!🐶 I currently have a part-time job where my hours can vary every week. Due to this, I am currently NOT accepting recurring bookings! I am usually available AFTER 4 PM on weekdays, but sometimes I have availability in the mornings. I am also mostly free on weekends. I regularly update my calendar and I’m very responsive, so please feel free to contact me to see if our schedules align! I also prefer to do a meet & greet first, even if it’s just a one-time booking because I want your pets to feel at ease with me. It is also an opportunity for you to see if you’d like to hire me as a sitter.
