Experience with Senior Pets & Pets with Medical Needs

We are also a safe choice for any household pets with medical needs and daily medications.
On Time to Visits
You can feel safe leaving your cat, dog, or other pet in our care knowing that your sitter will be on time and consistent during your absence. Consistent visits are key to avoiding unnecessary anxiety, accidents in the house, and other behavioral issues.
Quick Response in Medical Emergencies
Our sitters are prepared to respond quickly during medical emergencies. The health and safety of your pet is always our top concern. We will not ignore new symptoms or other concerning signs, and can go to the emergency vet immediately. We will also contact you immediately to bring you up to speed on your pet’s condition.
Consistent with Locking Doors
Locking doors ensures pets stay safe inside the house and that the house remains secure from intruders. We are serious about locking doors and taking other security measures, such as installing alarm systems, turning on the lights in the evening, and bringing all mail inside.
Non-Branded Vehicles & No Obvious Uniforms
Critter Sitters goes even further to prove to pet owners that we are a safe choice in Grant Park. Sitters do not walk dogs or enter houses wearing uniforms that show they are not the homeowner. We also do not drive or park branded cars at clients’ homes, for the security of their property.
What Happens When a Pet Sitter Visits Your Dog, Cat, or Other Pet?
We can break down what a typical visit from one of our pet sitters looks like and answer any questions you have about our services, so you are stress-free when it’s time for your vacation.
Feeding
When a pet sitter visits your cat, dog, or other pet, they will feed it its meals. Whether your pet eats kibble, wet food, or food kept in the fridge or freezer, we can handle it. Leave us with instructions and stock up on food before you leave.
Walking
Dogs need to be walked multiple times a day, so this is another crucial part of pet sitting. We can take your dog on its usual walking route and let it relieve itself three or four times a day, depending on its schedule.
Playing
Playing also happens on visits. Household pets typically want some interaction and socialization, especially if they have been sitting home alone for several hours. Playing helps cats, dogs, and other animals release energy, have fun, and bond with their sitters.
Out-of-Town Services
Out-of-town services are also provided during pet sitting visits, including watering plants, bringing in mail, turning lights on and off as instructed, and picking up after play sessions with your pet.
