Crystal’s Pet Sitting

Pet sitting, or doing drop off visits at the owners home. Hello everyone! I am Crystal Van Daalen. Please let me know if you have any questions!
(8)

I started watching pets really young, mainly for my parents friends, and then word of mouth traveled and more people would ask me to watch their pets and it recently turned into a small business! I have always loved animals, and it's like I understand them on a deeper level and try to really understand them. I have worked for two animal shelters, voluntered at many, donate as much as I can, and tr

ansport rescue animals. I come to your home, and pet sit them in their own home so they are more comfortable. I love to do a meet and greet before hand, meet everyone, understand the animal (s) personality, food, watering, potty habits (fenced in yard, or leash), if they take any medicine, and anything else you want me to know! Rates are $40 a night, and an additional $10 a night if you are 30+ miles away from Waverly.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, from Catie and Oliver! I am so thankful to all of my families that I have pet sat for, to everyone that has shared, liked or commented on my posts, my friends, my family of course and to everyone that is supporting me and cheering me on! I am missing my family today, but I am so lucky to have such a busy small business watching pets that I love so much! December is full, but I am booking as far out as September 2025. Let me know if you have questions, or want to book a stay. Thank you!

Did you know some dogs have serious allergic reactions to certain things? Coal ,the standard poodle, is very allergic to chicken! He can’t have anything with chicken in it, so his parents have to make sure all his treats and food don’t have any in it! This is really important to know, and we shouldn’t give any treats or food to dogs or cats, without owner permission, because it would be really dangerous for them if they have an allergy!
Coal and Nova are so fun to watch, and they are so sweet! Coal can be really funny when I try to bring him inside, he will act like he is ready to come in, but then he runs off. 🤣 Nova likes to bark until she gets what she wants, whether she wants to go outside, ONE treat, pets or to go in her safe space, her kennel. So happy that their parents had me watch them again! ❤️

Hello everyone, I am Crystal! I have pet sat for over 15 years, worked in two animal shelters, transport rescue animals, volunteer at my favorite animal shelter, and I am obsessed with animals! I have some available dates still, and would love to meet new animals and watch them! I live in Waverly, and travel up to 30 miles to pet sit, if it’s over 30 miles it is an additional $10 per night. Stays within 30 miles are $50 per night. First we set up a meet and greet at your home so I can meet your animals and learn everything about them, where their food is, how much food they get, where they go potty, any fun quirks they have, and how to care for them! I stay at your home with your pets, so they are more comfortable and less changes for them. I do work 3am-8am on the week days, but usually the animals stay sleeping.😴 Let me know if any of these dates work with you, or to see if any other dates beyond April work! December 9th-16th, January 1st-3rd, 6th-14th, February 10th-13th, 24th-27th, March 10th-14th, 17th-26th, April 1st-4th, 7th-17th, and 21st-24th. Thank you!! Last picture is my dog after going outside in the rain. ❤️

I have had so much fun the last couple weeks with these four little cuties!! One thing they are so not, is boring! They are all playful, and love to shred anything they possibly can, especially paper plates and napkins! They are so cuddly, and love to all sit in my lap at once. 🥰

What do you guys think of Mollys bangs? I brushed her fur forward so it looks like she has bangs 🤣

Hello everyone! I have decided to not book any more stays in the months of November and December, if you already have stays booked I will still be there just like normal! Thank you for understanding.

10/13/2024

This month I am watching these four fun, active, wild 😜 pups! They all love when I get in the recliner chair and all of them jump in my lap! They all are so sweet and love being pet and cuddled! ❤️

10/13/2024

Hello everyone! This is my updated schedule, almost a year of dates. The shaded gray means I am not available. Let me know if you have any questions! 🥰

10/11/2024

All hail the triangle tail!!! These are some of the little kitties at PAWS Humane Society. You need a kitten, let’s be serious.

10/06/2024

Hello! I had a cancellation for next month, so November I have 4th-7th open, and the 11th-22nd open! Let me know if you need me to watch your fur babies. 🐾🐾 Featuring my own cuddly monster, Rosie. Please share. ❤️

10/06/2024

I got to watch these two kitties, and they were so good! Ollie is the handsome orange tabby, and Catie is the beautiful long haired. They were such great cats, I hope they open up to me more on their next stay! Thank you for letting me watch your babies! ❤️🐾

Deathgrips

This is one of my favorite cats (don’t tell the others!) to visit, she is very vocal, and pretty independent. She does love her pets! Tonight she was kneading with only one paw! 🐾

Beautiful Junie

I am so happy that Junie has opened up to me this week! She wouldn’t let me pet her 3 days ago. Dogs are so amazing, and trusting. So happy I earned her trust and cuddles!! 🥰

Tell me you don’t like fruit, without telling me you don’t like fruit. 🫐 🫐

Willie being silly

Is that a goose? No it’s just Willie asking for food 🤣

Is he staring at me?

Frankie

Frankie has some serious biscuit making skills!! What a good boy!

Deathgrips

Deathgrips is one kitty I have watched for a while! She has this meow that seems like she is almost yelling at me. She is such a sweet girl!!

I love watching these guys, there is never a dull moment! Maisy is the German Shepherd, Bella black lab mix, Indee (not pictured), Cookie (gray cat), Dough (orange cat), Asmo (black cat), Smores (guinea pig), Vanilla (gray chinchilla), and Bean (white chinchilla) are so fun!! 🐕 🐕 🐱 🐱 🐱 🐱 🦨🦨🦔 (are those close enough?)

We met a puppy at the hotel!!

Hello everyone, I just got back from Vegas and trying to catch up on my sleep, which is hard when you walk over 40 miles and do so much in such a short time!! We were SO EXCITED when we saw this baby!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽

I call this TIPPY TAPPY!

Willie was so excited he was running around and it sounded like a tap dance! So cute Willie!!

Maisy and Bella are so cuddly and so sweet! They have 4 cat siblings, two chinchilla brothers, and one Guinea pig sister! I have never felt a chinchilla and wow he was sooo soft!!! Thank you for letting me watch them!
