Do not let your pets feel left behind when you need to travel; hire pet sitters you can trust to care for them while you are elsewhere.
From dog sitting, expect well-timed walks, intentional play and enrichment, consistent meals, and one-on-one attention that you cannot get from a kennel. From cat sitting, expect frequent litter box cleanings, daily meals, socialization and play, and the attentive care that most domesticated cats yearn for. Critter Sitters’ pet sitters will also happily take care of your exotic pet, so do not hesitate to reach out if you have a bird, lizard, or fish that needs to be looked after.

What Can You Expect from Our Pet Sitting Service for Dogs?
Expect hands-on, dedicated care and a pet sitter who prioritizes your dog’s health and safety over everything else when you schedule coverage with Critter Sitters.
Well-Timed Walks
Critter Sitter’s dog sitters understand the importance of well-timed walks throughout the day. We can decide on a walk schedule with dog owners based on the dogs’ normal routines and bathroom habits.
Walks are also a great opportunity for exercise and enrichment, especially when dogs are spending hours at a time home alone while their owners are away. We can take your dog for long walks to help burn off energy and reduce boredom.
Play & Enrichment
Playing and mental enrichment are important daily musts for dogs. A pet sitter should ask what your dog’s favorite toys and games are and where they can find them in your home. Mental stimulation helps prevent boredom and anxiety in dogs and other animals, especially when owners are away.
Consistent Meals
Dog sitters should provide consistent, timely meals. Dogs operate best when they stick to a schedule, and yours most likely expects its breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the same time every day. Keeping mealtimes on schedule is important for timing walks and bathroom breaks, too, making it doubly important.
Whether your dog eats kibble or meals that require a bit more time and preparation, we can prepare meals as you normally would, so your dog does not know the difference.
One-on-One Attention
Hiring a pet sitter ensures your dog gets one-on-one, specialized attention and care when you cannot be there to give it yourself. The alternative for most pet owners is boarding dogs in kennels, which can be an expensive and even dangerous option. Your dog should be the sitter’s sole focus during visits so that it gets the attention and one-on-one time it needs.
What Can You Expect from Our Pet Sitting Service for Cats?
Expect our cat sitters to be just as attentive and hands-on with felines as they are with dogs and other pets.
Litter Box Maintenance
Poor litter box maintenance is one of the leading causes of litter box issues in cats. When you are not there to clean the litter box, our cat sitters can be. We can empty the litter box during each visit, whether that is once or twice a day. Frequent cleaning is essential and helps keep anxiety low.
Daily Meals
Pet sitters should visit cats at least once daily, if not more often, when owners are away. Your cat can get fresh food and water according to its normal feeding schedule. Cats are creatures of habit, and yours will expect to be still fed at the same time of the day, even if you are not there. Disrupting its daily schedule could cause unnecessary and avoidable stress.
Socialization & Play
Many domesticated cats are not nearly as solitary as some people think. Your cat most likely needs daily mental stimulation and socialization, both of which our pet sitters can provide if you are away on vacation. Let us know if your cat has a favorite wand, other toy, or game so we can entice it into play if it is hesitant at first.
Attentive Care
Cats can easily feel abandoned if they are left home alone for multiple days, and they are not as self-sufficient as many people initially think. Hire a pet sitter who will give your cat the attentive care that it needs to feel comfortable and safe in your absence.
