Our Team
Sitter for your Critter is extremely lucky to have some of the best sitters on the seacoast! We would not be able to deliver the high level of pet care that we have become known for without the help of these passionate pet lovers.
We would like to introduce you to some of our fabulous staff here at Sitter for your Critter.
Crystal Hammond
The Pack Leader
The proud owner and founder of Sitter for your Critter. She started the company way back in 2007 with just a love of animals and an idea that people in her community might need a different option for their critters when they were out of town. Eight years, 900 clients, and 15 employees later her passion for animals has led her to a life of service for the critters in her community. She founded a nonprofit called Helping People, Helping Pets in 2012 with the mission to provide pet food and veterinary assistance to those that were experiencing financial difficulty and were at risk of losing their pets. In 2015 they have successfully delivered over 300,000 pounds of pet food to hungry pets all throughout the Seacoast. These days the nonprofit and managing the business keeps her pretty busy but she refuses to completely stop taking care of her critters altogether. Where would the fun be in that? Last but not least she is the very proud owner of an English Bulldog Capone and a super cute kitty named Oakland.
Erin Lord
Chief Animal Organizer
Erin has been with Sitter for your Critter for almost 6 years. Being one of the very first employees of Sitter for your Critter she has seen it all and been through every animal situation you could possibly imagine. She has recently been promoted to the head of our Marketing Department and Hiring Manager. Erin works closely with Crystal to insure that daily operations are running smoothly and that the critters are in good hands. She also refuses to give up walking pups and caring for kitties so you can find her at Pierce Island from time to time walking the trails and throwing tennis balls.
Jenny
Barketing Manager
Senior Sitters
Ty
Chief Executive of Cookie Distribution
Ty is married to the one and only Crystal aka The Pack Leader. It is a fact that every single animal that comes into contact with Ty falls head over heels in love with him. He has such a huge following that he is our most requested sitter. This does cause a little jealousy within the household but don’t tell Crystal we said anything. We think it has something to do with the beard.
Cheryl Marchulaitis
The Animal Snuggler
Cheryl just so happens to be the wonderful mother of Crystal. We like to keep things in the family! Cheryl was definitely born to work with animals. It’s her goal in life to retire in the dog walking business and she absolutely picked the right career. Animals light up when they see her coming. It’s not the typical “I’m happy to see you wiggle” it is the full-on “WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL OF MY LIFE” dance and wiggle and roll. We are so lucky to have her as part of our team. She gets booked up pretty quickly so it is advised to request her services well in advance.
Meka
The Cat Whisperer
A lifelong lover of all animals and nature. Taking care of pets is a natural fit and dream job for me.
Emilie
Master of the Belly Rub
Emilie could not be more adorable if she tried. She has been volunteering at the SPCA since she was 13, is currently in school to be a Vet Tech, and is one of the biggest animal lovers you will ever meet. Her entire face lights up every time she meets a new critter and you know just from that smile that she’s completely smitten with your furry family member. We heart her!
Todd
Doggie Adventure Guide
If you follow us on Instagram and enjoy the witty commentary and adorable pictures then you have Todd to thank for that. We are so lucky to have Todd on our team, not just because he can hashtag like a boss but he’s also one of our expert dog trainers on staff. He’s definitely a keeper!
Liz
Animal Behavioral Specialist
I’ve been an animal lover all my life. The more the merrier is the name of the game for me. I’ve had rats, cats, dogs, guinea pigs and fish at one time or another, sometimes all at the same time. I finally had to buy a house when our family grew to two dogs and two cats.
