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!

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 New Year everyone!! I am so excited to start this year and have it be the best! I am excited to meet new families and play with all the animals!! I have met some great people and animals for the next year and I can’t wait!! This kitty is named Deathgrips, more so called DG! DG is my most booked animal from last year, and I am watching her now, so I knew I had to share her adorable pictures, but I can never get a good picture of her!🤣 Let’s get this year going!! Have a vacation and need a pet sitter, that stays in your home? I am your girl, message me!

12/29/2024

This is my girl, and its her birthday!! Rosie you have always make me laugh, but always there if I cry. She will wake me up if i am breathing too loud/ stop breathing, or if i am crying or anything, she gets on top of me and slowly wakes me up. She keeps the house safe (barking!!), and chases squirrels and bunnies! 😂 Love you Rosie!

12/26/2024

It was so nice to spend my Christmas with Coal and Nova!! They were such good babies, and even got me presents! Thank you Coal and Nova, i LOVE my new shirt, sugar scrub and lip stuff!! 🥰 (i am holding a dental treat Coal really wants!)

12/23/2024

Can you guess their names? This is one of my favorite families I watch for! 🫶🏽🐾

12/20/2024

This little lady is named Bambi! Bambi is a Pomeranian husky, at about 15 pounds. I charge $50 per night, if you’re within 30 miles of Waverly, if it is farther than 30 miles it would be $60 per night. I come in to the pets home and stay at their home, so its less stress and less changes for them. Let me know if you have any question!!!

12/20/2024

Sisters, Sadie and Lucy, were so fun to watch! They are so sweet and they reminded me of fluffy snow balls! ⛄️

12/19/2024

You know what I just realized? In the month of December, I watched the biggest dog I have ever watched, pretty Sophie who is a Mastiff, and the smallest dog, Gigi this little cutie im watching now!! Little Gigi is only 3-4 pounds, full grown!

12/17/2024

This beautiful girl is name Ginny! I am watching her and her two little sisters! 🐶🐶🐶 🐾 They are all super sweet girls, more on the shy, quiet side.

12/15/2024

This little boy is named Oliver! He is such a sweet, cuddly boy. He loves rubbing his face against me. Did you know there are a few reasons why cats rub their face against something? Generally it means, I really like you and showing affection, or they are claiming you, or the item they rub up against, like hey this is mine, i put my scent on it so its all mine. 😍

12/14/2024

I was so lucky to watch sweet Sophie this week. 🥰 Sophie is an older girl, but she still has lots of s***k and attitude, in the best way possible. She gets random bursts of energy and wants to play with her toys, her favorite this week, were long rope toys! Thank you to Sophie’s owners for letting me hang out with her! 🥰

Beautiful Sophie

I was so lucky to watch sweet Sophie this week. 🥰 Sophie is an older girl, but she still has lots of spunk and attitude, in the best way possible. She gets random bursts of energy and wants to play with her toys, her favorite this week, were long rope toys! Thank you to Sophie’s owners for letting me hang out with her! 🥰

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!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽
