Experienced Ex Veterinary Tech
Pet care experience
I have owned and cared for animals my entire life, in both a personal and professional setting. I worked as a vet tech for over a decade and am professionally trained to administer medications orally, topically and injectable. I am passionate about caring for pets which are truly family members! I am dependable, prompt, communicative and am confident I'll earn your trust if you choose to allow me to care for your pets. I am a non smoker and am fully vaccinated. ***I am insured and bonded which includes extra coverage of your home. I pay this out of pocket annually. I work remotely and make my own schedule so I have full time availability to walk, check in on or stay with your pets and I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity! I don’t provide care for animals that aren’t Rabies vaccinated unless there is a veterinary exemption and I will request proof of that.
Reviews
Krystal was great! I booked two drop-in visits for my tiny house panther, and Krystal provided great reports and pictures for each visit! Will definitely be booking Krystal again for future pet sitting needs!
We’ve never hired a rover before because we consider our pets our babies and we’ve been a little scared - but Krystal changed us. Cannot say enough good things about her! She is professional, kind and loves animals! We spent lots of time reading reviews and looking through local options to find the right fit, and her profile definitely stood out with kind words from past clients and her experienced past. I felt so reassured everyday seeing the rover report card and she always went above and beyond with details, photos, and even handling our trash day - without even asking! She is easily our #1 choice and made us long term rover customers. We love Krystal!
Krystal is always so pleasant and enthusiastic about spending her time with our animals. We always feel confident that she will get in touch with us about anything necessary and are able to enjoy our time away virtually care free. We are beyond grateful for her!
Krystal really helped me out last minute to visit and walk my dog for the week I was away . She was very efficient, professional, and kept in touch with me the whole time. She made my dog very happy. I would use her again for sure.!

I’ll mirror whatever schedule your pet is on to try to avoid disrupting their usual day to day as much as possible so please share whatever details with me that you think would be helpful!
Information Krystal H. would like to know about your pet
I'd like as much info as you can give me. I will abide by any and all dietary restrictions in place by the owner. I'm interested in any idiosyncrasies your pet may have. I'd like to know any behavioral concerns the owner has as well as what type of training you may be working on.
A typical day
I love to get outdoors with dogs and let them sniff out the world around them! We have many trails near us that are great for this, and I have an app (All Trails) that lets me find new dog friendly trails if I'm unfamiliar with your area. Enrichment is really important for dogs so I love making treats and toys to keep their mind stimulated. These include Frozen Kongs with yogurt or peanut butter (keeping any dietary issues in mind), snuffle mat with owner approved treats, hide and seek treats in your yard or mine or I can get creative! We recently chilled peanut butter balls, rolled them in oats and closed them inside of an empty soda box, and let our pups try and figure out how to get inside the box and earn the treat. Cheap, easy and fun for all involved and most importantly, kept their mind stimulated! For cats, I bring a laser pointer and try to initiate play with that or any other toys or catnip you may have on hand. Enrichment is import for them too, but cats pretty much do what that want. ?
