Hello!
My name is Crystal. I'm 36 and based near Bribie Island.
I work from home as an artist and have been doing so for several years. I've always been an animal lover so I thought it was the perfect time to earn a little extra cash for doing something that I love - pampering pets!
A little more about me. You will often see me searching for injured wildlife and baby birds that have fallen from hollows after big storms and heavy winds. I've lost count of how many birds I've rescued and rehabilitated now.
There's nothing worse than worrying whether or not your pet is safe, secure, exercised and treated just how you would yourself while on holidays. I'll happily pamper your pets while you're away on holiday so you can relax and enjoy your trip!
I'll cuddle them, walk them, talk to them and love them as if they were my own. If they need medication orally administered, I will happily do so.
Other than working for myself from home, I am a stay at home mum for our gorgeous daughter (who also adores animals of all shapes and sizes). Because of this, I am extremely flexible with my availability. I'm an early riser too! So if your furry friend likes to go for sunrise walks, that's no problem!
I have previously owned a pet shop with my mum, so have had extensive experience with all domestic animals. I have also volunteered at rescue shelters for dogs & for animal sanctuaries for rescue battery hens, dairy cows, sheep, donkeys, goats, horses and more. It was hard & demanding work, but well worth the efforts.
I am also confident with large and giant dog breeds as we have an Irish wolfhound of our own.
I will happily do home visits for a minimum of an hour at a time. Knowing me, I'll get distracted playing with your four legged friends that it would likely be longer.
I can also water your plants, bring in the mail or do whatever else is required to keep your mind at ease and your pets happy.
Walking your pet will be in your local area for a minimum of half an hour. If beach walks and swims are the norm, I'm happy to wash your dogs afterwards so that they're nice and clean.
I can't lodge your pets in my own home as I have a zoo at home already. Will have to care for your pets at your home only. It's often less distressing for your pet this way also.
Looking forward to hearing from you and meeting your pets!

Crystal was an excellent choice for looking after Billy. She had great empathy with him and vice versa. Crystal is obviously an animal lover and I would have no hesitation in booking her again to look after Billy. I would recommend her to anyone. Margaret
Thank you Crystal for walking our dog Volt while we were away. My mother in law can’t do it as she’s not strong enough and she said you were fantastic!
