Safety, trust & environment

I love to snuggle and play with animals of all kind! I think it’s fun to observe their personality type and tailor my behavior to suit their needs and desires. I also enjoy taking pictures and videos of animals (I’m building an Instagram to house all the memories) and am very communicative with updates (typically at least once a day). If boarding, your baby would be free to hang out with me and my partner (he’s pictured on my profile with my parents’s Westie) in our living room area and outdoor patio in the day as well as our bedroom at night. I do my best to adhere to the routine and schedule they are used to to make them feel as comfortable as possible

Information Krystal L. would like to know about your pet

If this is your first time with me, please set up a new client meeting by booking a drop in visit or a walk with me. These meetings are crucial for the safety of pets and smoothness of the pet care process. Questions may include: 1) Potty break/walk routine? 2) Feeding/water routine? 3) Bed time routine? 4) Fears/joys? 5) Separation anxiety? 6) Habits to reinforce/discourage? 7) A typical day in the life? 8) Is it okay to use photos of your pet on my photography Instagram? 9) Experience with cats? (We have a dog-friendly female cat who lives in our living room)

A typical day

A typical day depends on your pet’s preferences but always includes the basics like play/cuddle/puzzle time, food time, and bathroom breaks. If weather permits, I’m also happy to take them to parks and trails if that is something they enjoy.

Pet care experience

I’ve become very comfortable with giving stern yet loving commands and guidance to a variety of breeds to ensure safety, well-being, and fun times all around! I live with my partner who sometimes assists with cuddles and care when needed.

Krystal spent 4 nights with our boy as our first Rover sitter, and provided a great experience. We came back to a sleepy pup, a clean house, and a confidence all was well. Krystal sent updates with multiple goofy pics at least once a day, which was wonderfully reassuring for us slightly nervous fur parents. I really appreciated her willingness to meet me where I was in terms of my nerves, and think her requests for meet and greets in advance of booking speaks to a savvy professionalism. Finan looks forward to hanging out with his buddy again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
