I’m a registered nurse who recently relocated back to New York, so I currently have a very flexible schedule while I look for my next position. This allows me to dedicate consistent, focused time to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for weekday check-ins and walks, including evenings, and I’m also open on weekends for more hands-on or extended care. Because of my nursing background, I’m attentive, responsible, and comfortable handling routines, medications, and special instructions if needed. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life right now, and I would really enjoy the opportunity to spend that time caring for animals.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, I make it a priority to follow your routines and instructions closely so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and secure. I understand that every animal has their own personality, preferences, and needs, and I respect that completely. As a pet owner myself (I have two kittens), I know how important it is to find someone who will give your pet genuine attention, not just the basics. I make sure pets get quality playtime, affection, enrichment, and calm companionship while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel at ease knowing they’re happy and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with lots of patience, kindness, and love.

Information Krystil R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know your pet’s routine, temperament, energy level, and any special needs or triggers ahead of time. I also would need to know any dietary restrictions or allergies, of course! The more I understand what makes them feel safe and comfortable, the better I can care for them.

A typical day

I like to match each pet’s energy and personality. For dogs, that might mean walks, fetch, playtime, or just getting their zoomies out. For cats, I love interactive toys, enrichment play, and of course cuddle time if they’re into it. Whether they’re high-energy or more laid-back, I make sure they feel engaged, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.

Pet care experience

Animals have always felt like family to me. I rescued a kitten at just three weeks old and fostered her for six months, caring for her through bottle feeding, late nights, and all the little milestones that come with raising such a tiny baby. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had. I now have two kittens of my own who are very loved, playful, and well cared for. I’ve always been the go-to friend and neighbor for pet sitting, dog walks, and check-ins. I’ve lived with several dogs through different roommates and naturally treated them like my own, whether that meant long walks, playtime, or just giving them extra love and attention. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’m attentive, communicative, and truly enjoy spending time with animals. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind!

Krystil took care of my two mini schnauzers, and I felt so safe and lucky to leave them with her. She is so sweet and paid very close attention to my very detailed instructions. She's also a nurse, and that automatically makes me feel better leaving my babies with her! Highly, highly recommend!

Krystil is an excellent sitter! She is kind, detail oriented, friendly and cares so much for the animals in her care! My dog Birdie absolutely loves her and was so well taken care of. Her tail gets wagging extra hard any time Krystil comes to watch her. She is on time and is totally willing to give updates as requested. I highly recommend!

I've known Krystil for years, and I can honestly say there’s no one I’d trust more with my pet. She is truly one of the most caring, responsible, and attentive people. She’s helped take care of my dog numerous times while I’ve been away and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in her care. I've seen firsthand how naturally she connects with animals and has such a love for them.
