Availability

I work from home and have a big yard, and a fenced in back patio and am near trails for hikes. I have a 3 bedroom, plus den, large 2-story home and pets will be integrated into my life here at my home. I tend to have a very open and inviting approach where pets are welcomed to sleep in my bed should that align with their emotional needs and preferences with the pet parents.

Information Krystal S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs. I've cared for a full spectrum of breeds. I don't mind high energy dogs, and enjoy a good jog with them to burn off energy. I think cats too deserve play and stimulation (more than they get attention and credit for), but naturally this is hard to facilitate if a cat is new to my home and is shy. I will do my best given the unique personalities of pets.

A typical day

I have good sidewalks in my neighborhood and there's a nice woodsy path and we're near the riverfront, but I also have a massive yard and can spend time outside my home with fetch and walks and jogging. I am also 20 ft. From hiking trails if your dog enjoys more nature and amenable to trail walks.

Pet care experience

I have a long history of pets of all kinds, cats, dogs, snakes, you name it. And well known for pet training skills. I've trained cats to go on unleashed walks, I've trained cats to cohabitate with free-roam rodents, I've trained rats and cats, and dogs to come when called. Dog training includes basic sit, stay, roll over, come etc. I'm a smaller person, so having control over larger dogs is really important. I've had dogs of all breads or have sat or co-parented many dogs of different breeds. I've managed food medications for dogs and cats, and injectables for reptiles (not that they're on here). Dogs, and pets, in general love me, and I am so pleased to have a home in which I can host and support fellow pet owners in their pet sitting needs.

Krystle made us feel comfortable watching our ‘Harley’ from the minute we met her. She was so welcoming and Harley melted into her arms. Prior to that day, Krystle sent a list of questions to help her in giving Harley the best care she could which proved to be helpful. I plan on using her again and highly recommend her.

What a pleasure it was having Krystal watch our dog! She was so nice and communicated so well through our dog’s stay with her. First time using her and would absolutely be using her again!

I feel beyond lucky to have found Krystal to watch over my sweet Sky. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely cared—not just about the job, but about building a real connection with Sky. Throughout the entire week, Krystal went above and beyond in every way. She made sure Sky had a safe and comfortable way to enjoy the outdoors by providing a lead and took her on frequent walks to keep her active and happy. What meant the most to me was seeing how excited Sky was every time she saw Krystal. That kind of bond and trust doesn’t happen easily, and it gave me so much peace knowing Sky was in such loving hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly dedicated, I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Krystal, for everything!

Krystal was so kind and accommodating and took great care of my puppy Eva, with a great mix of play and relaxation time. Eva enjoyed her hike and lounging time and looks forward to staying with Krystal again.
