What Do We Offer?  Peace of Mind.

You have probably never given much thought to just how much time and effort you put into your pet's good health and happiness.  When you are gone, many things have to be done on a daily basis to make certain your pets are safe, secure, comfortable and happy, including the care of your home!

“Your Critter Sitter” has over twenty years of experience in animal care, and we go through the following checklist every time we visit with your pets:

Check security of home
 Bringing in the newspaper
Bringing in the mail & ups packages

Removal of  flyers 

Water plants if needed

Take out trash to curb if needed

Adjust lights and or drapes

Making notes for owners of daily visits

If requested during bad weather seasons or storms

Check home for damage, loss of power

Call owners for pet & house updates

Giving each pet clean, fresh water

Administering medications, if needed

And most important!

We offer all this for your pets and for the care of your home

while you are away all included in one low price of a visit

You do most of these things automatically when you are at home.  Isn't it comforting to know that someone is going through a checklist each day and will do them for you while you are away?

The benefits to pet-sitting vs. Kennel Boarding

 The benefits to pet-sitting vs. kennel boarding for you and your pets are tremendous.  The primary benefit is that your pets will be able to stay in their own home where they are most comfortable and secure. 

 Pets placed in Kennels often experience: 

Small, Cold, cramped cages

Loud, continuous barking

Exposure to illness

Experience a lot of stress

Constant commotion with numerous employees and upset pets

Most pets do not eat in kennels due to high levels of stress

Not enough one on one attention

An extra night stay due to limited pet pick up time

 Benefits to in-home pet care with Your Critter Sitter: 

Stay in their own secure, familiar environment

Follow their customary routine and diet, less stress

Avoid exposure to illness from other animals

Receive loving, individual attention

Favorite bed, toys and chew treats

Special dietary needs or medications given

Access to call your pet-sitter to check on your pets at anytime

Daily notes via our pet reports

No car rides to the kennel, we come to you, again less stress

Your home is also cared for

Your mail, newspapers, and packages will be taken care of

Your plants will be watered

Last but not least, your pets will be much happier and healthier!

Even if you are not leaving home, there may be instances where we can be of service - unusual or long working hours, sudden or lengthy illnesses, emergencies. Any of these may make it difficult to care for your pet.  When those times arise, Your Critter Sitter is just a phone call away, ready to provide assistance.

“Your Critter Sitter” is an owner-operated business.  So you will know who is with your critters and in your home personally!      

  Are you working longs hours?
 We also offer (Mid-Day Let Out)

We offer mid-day services to let your dog go to the bathroom, get some fresh air, stretch and let off some anxiety, play with toys or play ball, have some treats and always get lots of TLC and personal attention during the day while you are away.

Dogs require physical and mental stimulation just like humans do. If proper exercise is provided on a daily basis, it will energize their body, mind and spirit.  Many dog behavioral problems are the result of isolation, boredom and insufficient exercise.

A dog walk or playtime & exercise by “Your Critter Sitter” is a great service for your dog when you can't be around to exercise and play with him.   

 Transportation for Your Pet
If your pet has an appointment to go to the veterinarian, the groomer, or anywhere else, and you are not going to be available (can't take the time off from work, etc.) We can pick up your pet, take them where they need to be and drop them off again at home.

 Prices for this service can vary.  Please contact us for a quote.

 Emergency Pet Sitting
Some people use us for emergencies.  They may have a loved one who is sick and need to leave their pets quickly, or may have a medical condition that requires unexpected hospital stays, or unexpected business trips, etc.  We are here for any emergency or unexpected situation to care for your pets.

Medications Administered

If your pet is on any kind of medications that are required by your veterinarian, we will keep your pet on schedule medically.  In addition to antibiotics, we are able to help with diabetic pets, pets with kidney problems and needing fluid therapy, seizure medication, etc.

Your pet can come stay with us for the day while you are at work or away for the day.  (Limited space and restrictions apply.) Please contact us for price.
