Crissy the animal lover!

Pet care experience

Since I was a little girl, I’ve dreamed about taking care of animals. Dogs (and animals in general) make my day — every day. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for over 10 years, in addition to my work as a medical care provider (I have been a nurse for about 6 years). I also have experience as a vet assistant. Taking care of animals and people makes me truly happy. My own pet brings me so much joy. I have cared for cats, bunnies, and reptiles as well — I would love to care for these animals, as they all have different personalities. Every animal is fascinating and deserving of love. As a sitter, I am detailed, punctual, and caring. My friends and family look to me for knowledge about caring for animals, or when they are researching a future pet of their own. My love for pets is endless, and everyone knows it!

Crissey was fantastic with Cooper over the course of the holidays. She was very flexible and able to accomodate a last minute booking for the holidays, which was very much appreciated. Her attention to detail and the level of care she took with my home was very impressive. She ensured I had regular updates, and Coop clearly had a good experience hanging out with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. She's awesome!

Crissy was great with my big guy, Gus! He was clearly well-loved while I was away.

LaCrista has been amazing throughout the years. She's warm and friendly. Brooklyn loves her dearly and I never have to worry when she's in her care. I've only scheduled walks but LaCrista goes the extra mile and offers play time too.

Crissy did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs and cats, even washing the sheets and towels she used while house-sitting- Very considerate of her!

Information LaCrista H. would like to know about your pet

I like to set up a meet and greet with the owner and pup, so I can get to know you and learn about your dog’s temperament. I would approach the animal depending on the owner’s suggestions. I don't work with animals that are prone to biting new people. If the animal was neglected or abused, I would love to know if it has any triggers.

A typical day

In my care, your pup will have a blast walking, playing and snuggling. My everyday schedule consists of letting my dogs out for potty break and feeding them for the day before I get ready for the day. I’ll make sure to update my clients on any last-minute details, and send pictures of our time together. I stick to your pup’s normal walking routes, play preferences and activities as closely as possible!
