Hi! my name is Crystal, I’ve been passionate about caring for animals for 19 years. My journey began at 16 when I got my first dog, who stayed with me for 15 wonderful years. During that time, I learned key skills like administering eye and oral medications and providing attentive care to dogs at every stage of life. After my beloved dog passed over the rainbow bridge in 2017, my two tabby cats came into my life and reminded me that the love I have for animals is something I want to continue sharing with others. Since joining Rover in 2021, I’ve cared for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. I pride myself on following each pet owner’s specific instructions and tailoring my care to each dog’s unique needs. Over the years, I’ve developed strong bonds with the pets I care for and earned the trust of their owners. My goal is to make sure your furry family members are happy, safe, and well-loved while they’re with me. As a deaf person, I’m highly attentive to details, always paying extra care to ensure nothing is overlooked. I work remotely as a freelance writer and ASL instructor, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate the time and attention your pets deserve. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible, and I guarantee that all instructions will be followed with the utmost care to keep your fur babies happy and comfortable!
