About Crystal

Hello! - Who am I

My name is Crystal. I’m a nature and animal lover. I have been a dog owner for 3 fur-babies (Lhasa Apso, Maltese Mix and Pomeranian) over two decades. It was sad to say goodbye to them which were 17yrs, 14yrs and 16yrs, so I have lots of senior dog experience. At this time, I am not ready to have my own pet yet, I would love your little one(s) like my own.  

Dogs and Birds

I can accommodate a maximum of two pets at a time for daycare and prefer one pet for boarding. I also prefer smaller breed pet(s) to a maximum of 40 lbs.

I currently have 9 budgies and one green cheek conure. They are all freindly with dogs. As such, I can also accept small birds as well for boarding, such as:

  • cockatiel
  • budgie
  • conure
  • Schedule

    I am semi-retired and occasionally work from home. Therefore, I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to easily accommodate various care needs including:  

    • 30 mins of short walk or
    • up to two hours of long walks 
    • and lots of play time
    • Also allows me to give them attention all day
    • I prefer daycare Monday to Friday, but I can be flexible to extend to weekends depending on your request.

      My Home

      I have a fully fenced back deck and they can play and enjoy the sun when there is no rain. Or I can take them out for a walk around my neighbourhood or to a dog park nearby. I can also send you occasional updates and photos/videos during their stay with me to ensure their stay is safe, comfortable and you stay informed.  

      I live in a detached house with my mom in a quiet neighborhood. We are non-smoking and have a calm living environment which allows your pet(s) to roam free in: 

      • the living room 
      • dining room 
      • kitchen  
      • and back-deck. 
      • During boarding your pet(s) can sleep in the living or dining room.  

        Your Pet

        Please provide me with breed, size, feeding and pee schedule and dietary restrictions. Also, any socialization and interaction preferences and exercise needs ahead of time is deeply appreciated.

        Very professional and caring. Treated our little guy as if he was her own. He’s 9, very anxious and this was his first boarding but did very well. Crystal shared both pics and videos throughout as well. Great experience, highly recommended!

        Crystal looked after Chico so well and she also kept us well updated regarding by daily sharing pics and updates. Would highly recommend her as she genuinely loved our pet and made him very comfortable and at home. She took him for regular walks and played with him and made sure to make the environment safe and comfortable.
