Pet care experience

I’m always thrilled to spend time with animal friends and help their families feel secure that they are safe while away. It brings me joy to spend time with your pets, walk, play and care for them. It makes me smile to take and share photos and updates, so you feel at ease and in good hands. I have experience caring for many animals at once. As well as tending to ponds and gardens (with instructions). I have experience with senior dogs and cats that need oral medication and help going potty. I had two rescue pugs that have passed away in recent years. I miss sharing my life with animals. I cannot have pets where I live now, so I'm finding alternative ways to spend time with animals.

One of our dogs is 14 years old and has a lot of health problems. We feel comfortable leaving her with Crispin. Crispin keeps us informed and spends a lot of time with both of our dogs. We know Our girls are getting the best care available!

Crispin was so sweet with Lou and helped us last minuet. She was so thorough, she came to do a meet and greet before hand. So appreciative of her dedication. She sent picture updates and he loved her!

Crispin is our go to sitter. She is responsible and communicative. Best of all, our dogs love her! She plays with them, cuddles with them, and clearly loves them. Dogs can tell who the good people are and she is clearly one!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a way with animals and a voice that soothes them. We will become fast friends. I've taken dog training with my two late pugs. As a result, I understand how to be a calm and assertive leader, and ease anxiety by providing clear boundaries and expectations. I ensure the property, all doors and windows, harnesses, and collars are secure. I love to play with pets to get our bodies moving and have fun together. Balancing work and play is a must and a joy! It's also helpful to tucker them out for good naps.

Information Crispin B. would like to know about your pet

What is your routine with your dog (or other animals in your house)? - feeding instructions - bathroom routine - exercise schedule - rewards (treats or voice + attention) - methods to correct behavior Current Vet info Emergency contact who can make decisions while you're away. Make sure they’ll be reachable during my stay. Any behaviors to watch out for/be aware of? If your dog is trained and can sit and stay, come when called. Essential for large and giant dogs. And what are the commands you use? If they need any meds or special handling. My goal is that your pet will feel secure with their routine being as close to what they're used to as possible while having fun with their favorite sitter!

A typical day

I'll schedule a "meet and greet" for us and then take it from there. This will help us determine if we're a good fit. Typically I'd ask what your pet's routine is and do what they are comfortable with. Once I get to know them more, we can venture off in my car to new areas for sights and scents! At your home, I will play with your pets so they can enjoy off-leash time and run around and have fun - making sure all doors and exit areas are secure and closed. I love playing with pets and seeing them enjoy themselves! It lights me up!!

I work remotely as a graphic and web designer on my computer/laptop, so I'm flexible to work around your pet's schedule. I am volunteering at ASAP Cats in Goleta on Wednesday mornings and Friday afternoons. I clean cages and socialize with the many cats that are awaiting adoption. It's very fulfilling. While house-sitting for you: - I'll be away for 5.5 hours on Wednesday from 8:30 AM – 2 PM. - I'll be away for 1.5 hours on Friday from 4:45 PM - 5:15 PM - Let me know if this is a conflict for your pet's needs. I'll be with your pets most of the time, working remotely on my laptop, from your pet's home. I will leave them at home if I go grocery shopping, meet a friend for dinner, or check on another pet, but I don't stay out for more than a couple of hours or less. I can watch your dog at dog-friendly hotels or Airbnb’s if you’re on vacation and need a sitter while you go to a wedding or dinner etc. 🏨 If I’m available, I’d be happy to do last-minute sitting! I also do last-minute drop-ins to check on cats or other pets while their parents need to go out of town unexpectedly. Because I can't have pets where I live, I will come to your house for drop-ins, walks, and house-sitting.
