Information Krystal J. would like to know about your pet

I will watch your dogs with utmost love and care. I would like to know about their eating and bathroom habits, any special medication they may take, and any other pertinent information that is necessary to ensure a happy and successful stay.

A typical day

My complex has fenced in areas with lots of room for your pup to run around and stretch his or her legs. Also my neighborhood has some great walking trails for potty breaks. If house sitting, then I will seek out similar environments for your dog to explore and thrive in.

Pet sitter that will love your dog!

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Krystal! I love dogs and have cared for dogs before. I grew up with dogs and have always had them in the home with me, so I am accustomed to their needs and demeanor. I can also provide baths, light grooming, walks, and lots of play time. I do work remotely some days. I'll only put your dog in his cage unless you specifically request for me to. I also have surveillance cameras in my home, so I can see what your dog is doing at all times, even when I'm away from home! My dog, Bertrand, passed away at the age of 15 in 2023. While this was a very hard time for me, I realize that I have a lot of love to give to other dogs out there and can do so with your baby. I would love to care for your pets and show them love while you are away!

Krystal was exceptional as a sitter. As a first time user, it definitely won’t be my last. She answered any questions I had in a very timely manner while being super friendly and engaging. She also sent wonderful pictures of my fur baby. This was my first but definitely not my last time utilizing her services.

Krystal is very responsive, kind, and my dog seemed to make himself right at home. She gave daily, what i call “pupdates”, which included a photo of my dog so i know he was well taken care of. She fit around my schedule, to make my vacation planning that much less stressful. I will definitely use her again, and would recommend to any of my dog parents!!
