Pet care experience

A Happy home for your furry friend

I'm deeply passionate about caring for animals, particularly dogs, I love senior dogs and pets of all sizes. I've had the opportunity to learn important training skills from experienced trainers who helped me better understand dog behaviors. My approach combines discipline with love, ensuring dogs maintain their important routines while offering the gentle, attentive care all pets need. I understand the unique requirements of each pet, adapting my methods to suit their individual needs and ensuring they're comfortable, safe, and happy. My dedication to professional, compassionate care makes me a reliable choice for pet owners who want the best for their furry family members.

She did a really good job with Zoey. She keeps you informed with texts and pictures. She really cares about the dogs!

This was our first time using Rover, and it was more than great. Krystal made the process very easy and being away from Astro for 11 days was 1) the longest time we've ever been away from him, but 2) comfortable knowing he was well taken care of and around someone who was willing to share the compassion as much as we are as his owners. I joked with Krystal saying she would miss him when we picked him up on Sunday, because he's just a fun dog to be around and always happy, but also that I felt like because in all the pictures she'd send me he seemed to have forgot we were even gone. Thanks so much for watching him, Krystal. And thanks for keeping us updated on his adventures at your house. I'm sure he had a great time and I hope he can see you again in our upcoming trip to Ireland next July.

Krystal was absolutely amazing with our pup, Pluto! I got daily updates on how he was doing and settling in. She did the sweetest little photo shoot of him too before we picked him up! From the moment we did the meet and greet, to dropping him off and picking up, she was amazing to us and to Pluto. We will definitely be booking again! :)

I currently work from home and this has given me a unique opportunity to combine my professional life with my passion for dog sitting. This setup means I can give constant attention and care to the dogs, ensuring they are never left alone for long periods. I can easily integrate feeding, playtime, and companionship into my daily schedule, making it an ideal situation for pets who need regular care.

Safety, trust & environment

I live a very peaceful life and I try my best to provide the same stress-free environment for our furry friends. My home offers a tranquil environment, allowing dogs to relax and explore the outdoors within the safety of a fenced area. Also, the neighborhood doesn't have heavy traffic and it's a nice area to take the dogs for walks.

Pets

A typical day

In my dog sitting routine, Iincorporate a blend of physical exercise, mental stimulation, and engaging play throughout the day. This may include walks around the neighborhood, allowing the dogs to explore and expend some energy. Interactive games like fetch or tug-of-war. For mental engagement, I introduce puzzle toys or a playful session of hide-and-seek with treats, challenging their minds while keeping them entertained. To wind down the day, I engage in gentle petting or a fun, yet calming, training session, reinforcing commands in a rewarding manner. This balanced approach ensures the dogs under my care are content, mentally stimulated, and ready for a restful night, all while maintaining a professional and attentive caregiving environment.

To provide the highest level of care and ensure a safe, enjoyable experience for all dogs under my supervision, it's crucial that I'm notified of any special needs, health issues, or preferences they may have well in advance. This includes dietary restrictions, medication requirements, behavioral tendencies, or any specific routines that help them feel secure and comfortable.
