Fiona walked, fed and sat with Simone and Gus while they ate. Then she texted me a beautiful informational text how it all went. All the info I would have asked for. Fiona is trustworthy, great with all animals and a gentle loving kind person. I knew when we met over 1 year ago that she was a great fit for me and my family. I’m so grateful to have her in our lives. Thank you critter sitters.

Fiona was outstanding caring and professional. She kept us informed via daily internet text messages while we were on a Caribbean cruise. We even had to extend her service for ½ a day because of our late arrival home.

Diane owner of cutter sitters we have used numberous times for our 5 cats. She leaves detailed notes on our cats on a daily basis so when you come back home it is like you never left. Our cats do very well, even the timid ones with dianes presence & manner . She truly relates to them.

I am sorry you felt the price was too high, but considering mileage and having a professional there who will not let you down seems to be well worth the price for peace of mind. Hope we can help you in the future. Sincerely, Diane DeLong, Owner"

Fiona was always on time; showed great affection and devotion to our dogs, plus courage (when she had rotor cuff surgery and turning recovering for 4-6 weeks) walked each dog separately.  She always cheerful, accommodating and very professional.

Diane and her staff are the only ones that we trust with our puppy. We get text message updates, written reports and sometimes even photos sent to our phones. Their professionalism is unmatched and I never have to feel guilty about leaving my dog when I am away. In fact my dog seems to enjoy her visits with Diane and Barbara so much, it is like she is getting her own vacation.

Critter Sitters is absolutely the best in town!


Response from Critter Sitters
"Thank you for taking the time to give Critter Sitters such a glowing report! Laney is such a wonderful companion to spend the night with and play with. Barbara and I are so thrilled with this mutual admiration:) We look forward to the next time you two "get out of Dodge", and Laney becomes ours again:) Diane DeLong, Owner"

Diane came to meet us and our dog beforehand which was great.  She watched our dog while we were in Spain for 9 days. She stayed overnight in our house and also came back for midday walks. She is very knowledgeable and brushed, fed, played with and walked our dog!

"Thank you for the nice review! "Diva Neva" was a wonderful companion. We loved our walks and "slumber parties", and look forward to caring for her in the future:) Auntie Di"

We've been using Diane DeLong and Critter Sitters since we moved to Florida over ten years ago. She has been absolutely wonderful: punctual, professional and treats your pets as if they are her own. She truly has a gift with animals.
She also keeps an eye on your home while you are gone and will call if there is a problem. She will bring in any mail, papers or boxes that are left. She has filled our pool when it got too low and called us when our air conditioning went out.
We can't begin to tell you how happy we are with her services.


Response from Critter Sitters
"Thank you for the glowing report! Can't believe how long I have taken care of your cats and house. You remain a very cherished and appreciated client!"
