My name is Crystal, I am 40 years old and I am an animal lover through and through. I grew up with three British short-haired cats named Willow, Mickey and Charlie (looked after them as kittens up to adult cats), two terrapins, 27 budgerigars and a guinea pig. I am therefore very familiar with the needs of these different types of animals, with a special fondness for cats. 

 I have been pet sitting for over 9 years through various online sites and private clients, including Pawshake, but have looked after my family animals for over 25 years.

I am very interested in environmental causes (sustainability, marine conservation, eco-friendly and the like) and enjoy supporting charitable causes and research centres. Most recently, in October 2024, I worked for Naankuse foundation, a sanctuary reserve for rescued and injured animals in Namibia. This experience included working with various types of big dogs in the K9 unit, cheetahs, lions, rhinos, elephants, caracal cats, farm animals, horses, meerkats, baboons and much more! In December 2022 I worked at the Galbokka Sea Turtle Research and Conservation Centre in Sri Lanka where I looked after injured turtles and those in rehabilitation.

 I am an astrologer and am currently studying herbal medicine alongside, so I work/study remotely.
