Pet care experience

Pet sitter that will love your dog!

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!!

My dogs were well taken care of by Krystal. She was responsive to messages and provided pictures over the weekend with updates. She has a lovely home with a fenced in yard, and a sweet little pup of her own. I trust that my dogs were kept happy and healthy during their stay. When I picked up my pups, they were covered in mud. I didn't bring any towels with me to wipe them off - I wasn't expecting them to be muddy. My dog (caked in mud) jumped up on me with excitement, getting mud all over my clothes (brand new). Krystal did not offer up a hose, or an option for me to bathe them before taking them home in the car. Luckily I was in my mom's car when I picked them up - with car seat liners so the back seat didn't get muddy. I understand that dogs get muddy in backyards after it's been raining - I'm glad my pup had fun in the mud. However, I had told Krystal the time that I'd be there to pick them up. If I drop off my dogs clean, I expect them to be returned to me clean. I wish she would have wiped them down or hosed them off before I got there. With all of that said, my pups were kept safe, fed, watered, and cared for while I was out of town, which is what matters. Thank you, Krystal for taking care of my pups.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by keeping a watchful eye on their behaviors and mannerisms. That way I can tailor my care giving approach to a level that is comfortable for the both of us.

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.
