About the Expert
Crystal Rector, raised in a feline-loving family, has studied cats since early childhood. Spending her spare time with the many barn cats on the farm where she was raised, she dreamed for years that one day she would photograph them for a living, but instead found herself working in various roles within the veterinary industry for a collective ten years.
Opportunities to take care of veterinary client animals laid the foundation for what would eventually become her full-time business in the Phoenix, Arizona area as Crystal the Pet Nanny. Although she takes care of all kinds of animals, Crystal is a feline specialist and has an exceptional affinity for cats, with particular interest in behavior and enrichment. This interest led her to earn the Diploma of Distinction in Feline Behavior and Psychology from the Centre of Excellence.
She shares her life with her husband Sean, who keeps her from becoming a crazy cat collector, her dog Stella, a fish she calls "Fishy Friend", and her beautiful cat Josie - who is queen of all she surveys.
