About Crystal

My partner, Adam, and I always wanted to dog sit but never had the proper space. We just recently bought our first home a few months ago and now that we have a decently large back yard right next to a park, we finally get our opportunity!
We will be delighted to take care of your dog/s while you work, go on holiday or just need a good date night.
We have a 2 year old French Bulldog, called Archie (aka Fartchie) who we absolutely adore but we just wish there is more of him.
Our typically day with him is wake up 7am, short walk in the reserve park near our house, breakfast, then he finds a sunny spot to nap until 2pm while we work from home. 2/3pm he finds us for his greenie or snack then we log off at 5/6pm, go for a ball throw at Essendon Dog Park and back to home to have dinner and mostly chill on the couch.

My services would include:
Dog boarding which includes:
- Feeding food (provided by you on their scheduled feeding times), water and a warm comfortable place to sleep. Highly encourage owners to bring crates and dog bed to ensure their pooch is sleeping in a familiar bed to ensure they are comfortable.
- Taking them out for daily walk at least twice a day and at least 30 mins each time, should the weather permit it. Over the weekend I normally take them to another enclosed off dog park or beach
- if they have some anxiety, we can move them to their own separate room.
- Free to roam around the house with access to our fenced off back yard
- Treats is included depending on the pet's diet
- Toys and stimulating games will be provided

I am quite flexible with drop off / pick up times, however if you pick up your pooch later than drop off time, this may incur an additional fee.

Home visit only if you are located within 5 kms of Keilor East.
Either 1 or 2 visits per day
Each visit will be for approx 20 minutes

Ideas of what to pack:
- Enough food (wet or dry) for the duration of the stay
- Treats
- Dog bowls
- Leash and Harness
- Bed and Crate (if trained)
- Their favourite toy
- Your unwashed shirt (recommended or not required)

Note that we require all doggie guest to be up to date with their vaccinations and to the best of your knowledge free of parasites and fleas.
Our home will be their home for the duration of their stay and we will love them like our fur baby Archie. While we start off, we would prefer smaller/medium sized dogs (both male and females welcomed). So, if you are ever in need of a safe and warm place to keep your dog while you are away (even for a couple of hours), please feel free to reach out so we can keep them company....
