Pet care experience
Responsible Educator Available NOW
As a former teacher for the past 7 years, I am dependable, detail-oriented, and take pride in maintaining a clean, safe, and calm environment. Whether caring for pets, managing daily routines, or looking after your property, I will treat your home and animals as if they were my own. I have experience with both training puppies and caring for senior pets.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am a lifelong animal lover and previously adopted a dog named Cadeau, who truly was my world. Although he passed away a couple years ago, caring for him shaped the way I approach animals and homes with patience, attentiveness, and deep respect. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your home and pets in someone else’s care. Thank you for entrusting me with your most precious companions and your home while you are away.
Ratings and reviews
Crystal is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. Within 10 seconds of our first meet and greet, I could tell Apollo felt safe with her. She takes such good care of him, gives him all the love, and sends the cutest photo updates. I know I’m leaving him in the best care when she’s watching him. Can’t recommend her enough!!
I met Crystal more than 20 years ago when she was a student in my French class. We stayed in touch after her graduation from high school and college. To earn extra money, she cared for a variety of family pets when I traveled. She is dependable, reliable, and always does an excellent job. There are no worries about any of our dogs receiving only the best and most caring attention. I can recommend her with no reservations. If she hadn't moved out of Texas, I would gladly continue to hire her.
Crystal babysat my 2 dogs many times, and she is the only one I go to now for dog sitting! She took great care of my skittish 120lb boxer Boo and my Staffy Juliet. She stayed every night with them and took them on walks - Boo very early so no one would be out and Juliet during the day to socialize, doing what matched their needs. Crystal was friendly to and respectful of the neighbors. She followed all instructions we left. She was always back before dark and slept in the bed with the dogs. She cared for my dogs until they passed, and I’d definitely trust her with any new pets. Crystal made a real connection with my dogs.

Schedule
I work as a Special Education Inclusion Teacher on a contract basis and am currently taking a thoughtful break between assignments to spend time with friends and family while continuing to work responsibly and independently. This means I am able to create my own schedule.
