About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and genuinely love spending time with them. I have had a cat since I was five years old and multiple dogs since I was seven, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I have pet sat for neighbors, family, and friends while they were away on long trips, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure their pets felt safe and comfortable at home. I always have both the pet’s and the owner’s best interest in mind, and I truly love helping animals whenever they need care, attention, or patience. I understand that every animal has a different personality, and I always take the time to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I have also volunteered at animal shelters, which has made me even more passionate about giving back and helping animals in any way I can. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and nervous at first, I will always treat them with kindness, patience, and lots of love. I am currently EMT school, studying to get my EMT license so my days consist of reading and studying. Additionally, I am a college athlete so I do try to work out almost every day and live in active lifestyle. I do not currently have a job because I am in EMT school, which means my schedule is extremely flexible and I would be able to bring study materials to your home or take breaks to come take care of the pets anytime! I always prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I have a pretty big backyard with a tall fence, so I can easily accommodate your animals and give them space to safely play and explore. I always make sure pets stick to their normal routines as closely as possible so they feel relaxed and secure while their owners are away. I am very patient with new animals and always take the time to learn their personalities, needs, and comfort levels. Your pet’s safety will always come first, and I will make sure they are always on a leash, walked only in the areas you designate, and placed in any crate or area you prefer when needed. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I will always treat them like my own and keep both the pet’s and owner’s best interests in mind.

This was our first time using Rover and Crystal, and we had a great experience! We opted for the house sitting and she gave us daily updates and our pup looked happy and relaxed. We’ve already rebooked her for the end of the month! Thank you Crystal!

Tiffany was absolutely fantastic! She cared for our 8-month-old puppy, Disco, for 7 days/nights at our home, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Tiffany's communication was top notch-she sent photos every morning and kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She took wonderful care of Disco, ensuring she was happy and well-cared-for. It was clear that she also respected our home-when we returned, the house was clean, and everything was how we left it. Tiffany went above and beyond, and we will 100% be rebooking her in the future. Highly recommend!

Mariah has watched Bear and Ollie over two different weekends in our home. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter! She goes above and beyond every time—sending lots of photo updates, giving the pups tons of love, and even helping with little things like brushing out ear mats from roughhousing. We always come home a clean house, and we’re so grateful to have found her. We will absolutely book again!

Lauren was great! She did a meet and greet and got to know my pets and their needs before I left for my trip. Since my dog is a senior dog and needs assistance with walking at times and takes multiple daily medications I am always a little nervous to leave him. She provided photo updates frequently so I never had to wonder if the animals were okay. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation and not worry at all about my pets!

Gustavo was the best house and dog sitter we’ve had and we’ve used quite a few sitters through Rover. He sent multiple pictures and updates every day which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious our dogs were well cared for and loved. We would absolutely book Gustavo again and highly recommend him!

She went above and beyond this week - we feed a stray cat that hasn’t been doing well recently, and she was able to get him an intake to the Austin Animal Shelter. I will always trust my pets with Mary 🤍

Lauren was incredibly communicative and responsive. She kept me updated throughout the evening and sent tons of adorable pictures of Roxy, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear from the photos and her messages that Lauren genuinely cares about the animals she watches. She seemed so loving and attentive with Roxy, giving her the comfort and attention she needed while I was gone. Knowing that Lauren was spending the night with her made me feel so much better about leaving my girl behind. . I highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.
