*pet sitting only* Hi there! I am a 5 star rated pet sitter in the South Austin area, and I love animals! I have cared for my pets and friends/family pets since I was 12 years old. I am a reliable, friendly, and kind animal lover. I understand fully how your pet is a part of your family and should be cared for as such. I look forward to making your life a little easier by checking in on your cat or walking and visiting with your dog. I am happy to watch animals in my home or happy to watch them in their home. I have recently moved to South Austin, but I am not against still watching pets up north šŸ™‚ Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. Hope to hear from you soon 😁

ā€œCrystal is a phenomenal pet sitter! She is very responsive and provides daily updates and photos when watching my pup. I highly recommend her!ā€

I retired 6 years ago and moved to Austin after living in Dallas for 35 years. I raised 4 kids, 3 and under while working full time and maintaining my sanity ;-) My kids are all grown and now I have two grandkids 4 and 10 months here that I help out with when needed. My 4 year old grandson spends the night with me and is always asking to come over to my place. I also tutor math at one of the middle schools. I have hosted 9 international exchange students for a year of high school and still involved in the program though I don’t host any longer. I speak passable Spanish as well. I learned when raising my family how to be flexible, organized, creative and loving. I like to have fun and interact with my grandkids. We don’t watch a lot of television but instead play age appropriate games that are fun and interactive. I can bring the same fun, loving experience to you.

Caring for others has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. As the oldest of three siblings, I learned early on how to nurture, support, and create a sense of safety for them. That instinct only deepened as I raised my two daughters, help care for my three grandsons, and spend over eight years working in a childcare environment. Several families have personally entrusted me with their child outside the childcare environment. I am currently a preschool teacher, and I truly enjoy going to work each day. Supporting children as they learn, grow, and express themselves is something I genuinely love. I have also had the privilege of caring for my mother during her journey with early-onset Alzheimer’s. That experience strengthened my patience, compassion, and ability to show up with steadiness during difficult seasons. Whether caring for children, seniors, or pets (I’ve never met one I didn’t connect with)! I bring warmth, reliability, and heartfelt attention to every family I work with. I would be honored to provide thoughtful, personal care whenever it’s needed.

ā€œWe feel incredibly grateful to have Evelyn in our lives. We first connected through our daughters, my 3yr old attends the Montessori school where Evelyn’s daughter is a teacher, and she is Maeve’s favorite! Seeing the love, presence, and care her daughter brought to everyone in the school made it easy for us to trust Evelyn from the beginning. I mean, she raised such a human! lol And…like mother, like daughter. Evelyn is kind, patient, communicative, dependable, and often available on short notice (which has helped us out tremendously!) She has been caring for Maeve on occasional nights and weekends for about a year now, and we truly love and trust her completely. We’ve only had positive experiences, and any family would be lucky to have her.ā€

Hi my names Aaniyah. I’m currently pursuing my degree in nursing, and I’m certified in CPR/AED. Im bilingual (english/spanish) and have hands-on experience caring for babies, kids, and pets. I’m also happy to help with light housework when needed. Caring for others has always been a passion of mine, which is why I’ve chosen a career path in nursing. I also love being able to teach and inspire kids. Growing up, I developed a true love for learning, and I’d love to share that by helping children explore new things, encouraging curiosity, and even taking them on fun little adventures. My goal is to not only provide safe care but also create positive, engaging experiences for the kids I work with.
