Pet Boarding Riverdale

About: Hi, I'm Crystal! I've been an animal caretaker my whole life — mainly dogs, but growing up we had everything: dogs, cats, rats, snakes, a pig, a goat, turkeys, chickens, ducks, horses, turtles, and fish. I started really doing the work of caring for them around age 9, so I have about 15 years of hands-on experience. As an adult I've had a dog, a few cats, and some chickens. Currently I have Cocoa (my dog), my cats Tigre, Princess Cecelia, and Blue, and 2 chickens. Because I've handled so many different species over the years, I'm comfortable with all kinds of animals and personalities: shy rescues, rowdy puppies, picky cats, you name it. What sets me apart is all that variety — most sitters know dogs and cats, but I've cared for just about everything, so very little surprises me. Your pet will be in experienced, confident hands. I work from home running my own business, so I'm home most of the day and my schedule is flexible. That means lots of company, playtime, and potty breaks for boarding guests, and I can usually fit walks and drop-ins around your timing. Just message me and we'll make it work! Every owner and pet is a little different, so I start with a calm, tidy environment and let the pet set the pace. Once they get comfortable, there's more play and energy, but if they're shy, I'll never push it or do anything that scares them or makes them uneasy. I'll keep you updated on how your pet is doing throughout the stay or walk, so you never have to worry.

“Kimmie watched my 11 week old puppy for a day on pretty short notice but I felt very comfortable leaving her there. She is more than set up to care for puppies and older dogs alike. Suzy came home happy and very tired at the end of her day. She also got along well with Kimmie’s yorkies. Would definitely take her back again.”

“Super convenient location off the canyon in Peterson. Love it that kids get to love on my dogs when their mini humans aren’t around. Thanks Crystal for hosting our princess at your place.”

Christine N.

“Our dog is always happy and safe at Jason’s house. He’s kind enough to send photos throughout her stays so we can check in on her. He makes sure she’s well fed, gets lots of indoor and outdoor time, and lets her have her own little “vacation” while we’re on ours. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great sitter!”

About: I am a very loving and caring person for any kind of pets, but especially for dogs! I will make sure that your dog will have fun while they’re under my care. I would consider myself as someone who cannot live without dogs, I also completely understand the need for someone to take care of your dog and being unsure about the care that someone else will provide, but I will make sure that your dog is having fun and is safe and doing the things dogs are suppose to do. I am very available on the weekends and available week days after school. We have a huge fenced yard, that your dog will love to play around in. If your dog is staying overnight, I have a mud room that connects to the house from outside and they will be staying there for comfortable staying. "My daily routine revolves around feeding, grooming, exercising, and showing affection to my furry friends, ensuring their needs are consistently met. I prioritize their well-being, integrating pet care seamlessly into my day to create a loving and nurturing environment for my companions." "Ensuring a safe, trusting environment for a dog involves removing hazards, providing shelter, and setting clear boundaries. Trust is built through consistent training and positive reinforcement. Environmental enrichment, including exercise and mental stimulation, supports their well-being, fostering a strong bond and fulfilling life."

“Bruce was very accommodating and easy to work with. My dog got excited to see my son when he picked him up and then didn't want to leave Bruce's house. He was obviously very comfortable and happy!”
