Did a longer than expected work day or delayed flight prolong the return home?

Perhaps your regular pet sitter became ill and you need help on short notice. 

I am here to help in the general vicinity of Saugus and Melrose. 

No request is too small.

Crystal took care of my four cats while I was away for a week. She was a wonderful pet-sitter! She sent me photos or videos every day. It was such a pleasure to know they were well cared-for while I was gone. She also took my trash out for pickup, collected my mail, etc. She was fantastic. I will absolutely contact Crystal to pet-sit the next time I'm away.

Crystal is the only person I trust to care for our two large dogs.  One dog is super shy and the other can be aggressive with strangers.  I never imagined anyone would want to come to our home and care for them when we are away.  Despite my worries about Crystal's own safety, she really wanted to give this a try.  She  seems to have an innate sense of an animals needs and an understanding of their behavior.  She has earned the trust of both our dogs who are now very comfortable with her.  Her services are highly recommended!  

Crystal sends you daily updates on your pets care and on your home while you are away.  She has a way leaving you at peace knowing your home and pet are in safe hands. A cute perk is a quick photo of your pet to again say Hi and assure you that everything is okay at home.  She even collects your mail on the walks!!  I will give Crystal 10 stars and a rainbow because I know next time I go away my dog is in the best hands with Crystal...

Super organized, competent and trustworthy.  Very easy to work with and utterly dependable.  I highly recommend her.

Crystal is very kind, caring and trustworthy. She takes good care of my two kitties whenever I'm out of town.


I'm not sure there are enough words to describe how wonderful Crystal is. From the moment we met I knew it would be a perfect match. She asked about everything I completely forgot about and more. I couldn't have asked for a more loving, caring & trusting person to care for our Harper while we were away. We travel often & will absolutely be welcoming Crystal into the family! She's honestly the best. While away we received pictures and videos of our kitty & it made being away so easy. I knew Harper, without a DOUBT was being cared for and loved. It meant so much to me! I highly recommend Crystal & am so excited we found her! 

Crystal was warm and welcoming and a perfect fit for our 3 pets (2 dogs/1Cat). Very impressed with her professionalism and attention to detail.  She delivered what she promised and was more than attentive to all our animals.  She played with them, walked them and cleaned up after them.  Loved that we had a good communication and she sent pics during her visits with updates on how they were.  She even brought in our mail which was a nice surprise and left a goodie bag with treats and toys.  Highly recommend and will be using her again.

Crystal watched our very special cat Mimi for 7 days while we were away on vacation.  During our trip, Crystal kept her line of communication open and our worries at ease by keeping us updated on Mimi. Our cat has been dealing with adjustment issues since our recent move to town and Crystal was patient and caring and kept us updated daily on her status. Not only did she watch Mimi,  she watered our plants, took in our mail and ensured the house was in good condition when we lost power during a snow storm. thank you so much Crystal!!!

One of my cats doesn't really take to anyone. While I was gone Crystal spent time just sitting with her while I was gone. My cat was not as traumatized when we let Crystal take care of them. When we came back their litter box was clean, they were well fed and had clean water in their bowls. I will definitely use her next time we go out of town. She's a keeper!

Crystal was great to work with and followed our instructions for our farm day well. We were delighted to have her.

We hired Crystal to watch our dog for the weekend and couldn't be happier. I reached out to her in a panic because we needed her on the very day that we called.  Crystal was flexible and very professional, she came right out to meet our family before the weekend started. Crystal really boned with our fur baby and sent us updates every time she came to the house and often included pictures! We came home to a very happy pup and will definitely be calling Crystal again! 

I've know Crystal for several years & have come to know her as a caring person.  She is passionate about animals & helping their owners provide the best for them.  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Crystal for pet care or any other job she may be considered for.

I'd be lost without Crystal and so would my kitty Winnie.  Crystal has been caring for Winnie for the last year plus during our vacations and long weekends away when taking Winnie with us is not an option.  I have peace of mind knowing that Crystal is there to care for Winnie and assist with other household upkeep.  Crystal gets our mail, waters our flowers and in many cases leaves my house looking better than when I left it.  Crystal is extremely responsible and dependable.  She sends us pictures to let us know our furry family member is doing well while we are away.  Her communication and follow up skills are outstanding.  If we could keep Crystal all to ourselves we would but I know we have to share her with others.

Crystal has taken care of our cats while away. She has done a great job. She always lets us know when she's arrived, when she's left, and a report on the cats as well. She takes the time to hang and play with the cats as well. Crystal is caring and reliable!  

Crystal has been a driver for me over this past year and also has taken care of my dog Bailey and my cat Gypsy.  She is absolutely one of the best people I've had the blessing to know!  She is punctual, responsible, and extremely loving toward my fur-babies!  They love her and every time she's cared for them, she's given me daily updates and I came back to happy pets who were clearly well cared for.  Over the Christmas break, she took care of Bailey in her own home and still went back and forth to my home to tend to and play with Gypsy.  And she even suggested Skyping so I could see Bailey on camera!  Bailey has special care needs and I am always so anxious leaving him when I travel, so Crystal was very sensitive to that.  She also made sure he had his tiny little pill of medication stuffed in a piece of cheese every morning!  When she drives me, she often makes a point of coming in to say hello to my fur-babies, promptly getting on the floor to greet them, pet them, and just love on them.  And they love on her as well because they truly do recognize that she adores them.  

So I absolutely recommend Crystal without hesitation.  She loves animals and has a heart of gold.  Again, I feel so lucky to have found her!

Finding the words to describe how wonderful Crystal has been as our pet care-giver, is a challenge. She is someone who consistently exceeds expectations. She cares about what she does and because of this quality, is highly valued to us and has made a difference in our lives. Small acts of kindness, great communication, 100% reliable, conscientious, good judgement, positive attitude, giving and exemplary, begin to describe her. A true super-star!

Crystal is fantastic and I would highly recommend her to anyone.  She takes care of our dog, Piper, as if she were her own.  She is very reliable, loving and caring!

Crystal has been working for me for 6 months various jobs.
Yard work (I have almost 2 acres): tractor cut lawn, trimming, poison ivy control,  etc. I recommend her highly. She is reliable, thorough,  highly competent, and has an artistic eye. Also, she enjoys her work (works with gusto!) and is easy to work with. 
Handyman/etc.: room painting, fix up jobs, replacing broken exterior doorknob, hemming curtains, choosing paint colors, etc. 
In addition, she has performed care of my cat (meds, food/water, litter box, play & attention) as well as pool & house care when I go away on vacation.  
She is highly competent, fair, has excellent common sense, can problem solve well, cares deeply about her work, and is one of the most trust worthy people I know.
