Reasons to Trust Our Oakhurst Pet Sitters for Dogs, Cats, & More
We give pet parents lots of reasons to trust our pet sitters with their furry friends in Oakhurst and throughout Georgia.
Free At-Home Orientations
The free at-home orientation for pet parents and their dogs, cats, and other pets helps establish trust on all fronts. During the orientation, you can ask whatever questions you have about Critter Sitters’ rates, what pet sitters do during visits, and anything else you want to know. This initial interaction between the sitter and your pet sets the foundation for a good, trusting relationship when you leave town.
On-Schedule Walks & Visits
You can trust that our pet sitters will be on time for scheduled walks and visits. We will not make your dog wait too long to relieve itself outside and get the fresh air it needs. Being on time for pet sitting visits with cats is just as important, and we can show up on time to feed your cat as discussed.
Good Communication
The line of communication between you and your pet sitter is open at all times while Critter Sitters cares for your dog. In addition to quickly responding to your messages or questions, your sitter can send you daily updates, reassuring photos, and other messages that reassure you that your pet is adjusting well and is happy.
Quick Response in Emergencies
If your pet shows any signs of medical complications or distress, expect our sitters to respond quickly. If there is an emergency vet you know of and prefer, give that information to your sitter before you leave. Additionally, if your pet is prone to seizures, breathing issues, or other concerning medical events, tell your sitter so that they can be prepared.
Free Out-of-Town Services
Our completely free out-of-town services give pet parents yet another reason to choose our pet sitters for dogs, cats, and more. You can trust Critter Sitters to bring any mail or packages delivered to your home inside, and to lock the door behind us each time we leave. Your sitter will be more than happy to water indoor plants as well, for no extra cost. Our goal is to make your house look lived-in from the outside while staying neat and tidy on the inside.

Pet Sitter FAQs
How Long is Each Visit from a Pet Sitter?
Each visit from our pet sitters can last from 20 to 30 minutes, give or take, depending on the individual animal’s needs.
Can You Use a Pet Sitter for a Weekend Away?
Rather than taking your pet with you on a weekend away, hire a trustworthy pet sitter so that your dog or cat can stay in the comfort of its own home and limit its anxiety, especially if it dislikes traveling.
Can You Use a Pet Sitter for a Long Vacation?
You can also use a pet sitter if you are going away on a long vacation, something many pet owners prefer because of the one-on-one care and attention a pet sitter provides that a kennel most likely cannot.
Can You Request Photos from a Pet Sitter?
Pet parents are encouraged to request photos and other updates from pet sitters to ease any stress they might be feeling about going out of town without their furry friends. We can also send videos, longer daily summaries, behavioral reports, and more.
How Can You Prepare Your Home for a Pet Sitter?
To prepare for a pet sitter, make sure you have all of the food and other supplies that your pet will need in your absence. Feel free to write down instructions for meals, walks, or anything else your pet is particular about.
What Should a Pet Sitter Know About Your Cat or Dog in Advance?
Tell your pet sitter about any behavioral quirks or aggressive tendencies in your pet. Knowing more about what your dog or cat likes and dislikes helps us avoid unintentionally offending or upsetting it and damaging any trust it has established with our sitters.
