This was our first experience with Critter Sitters and I am elated that I found them! With each visit they went above and beyond to make sure our sweet pup was well taken care of and had LOTS of attention. I was never worried about the care our pup was getting. It was easy to see with each picture and video that was sent, she was a happy girl. I am grateful for the love and care the whole team showed!

We have been using Critter Sitters since October 2014, about 11 years and I cannot say enough GOOD things about Sarah, Sam, and their team. When we are away, I know that the dogs and house are in great hands and I am totally relaxed. Whether it's a short day/weekend trip or a long 2 ½ week cruise we can ALWAYS count on them to take care of our Miniature Schnauzer, Snorkie, and the house. They take the dogs out for a walk three times a day...and they are superb with their visit reports…telling us about everything important that happened during each visit…including pictures! In the past, one of our older dogs had been on meds for a few years and they always made sure she got them. Once the older dog had a breathing/digestive problem and they stayed with her longer then scheduled...and eventually had to take her to our vet...that SAVED her life! We feel at ease when going away that our pets are well looked after and the dogs LOVE them...what more can I say!

This is the second time I have hired Critter Sitters. They have done a great job caring for my both times. They sent daily pictures of my pet to me and gave me mood updates!!! I hired them for several days.

Critter Sitters isn't the least expensive option, but they are absolutely the most reliable and trustworthy. They really get to know our dog and she loves them! They also stay in touch with messages and photos.

The Critter Sitters team is amazing! They are responsive, reliable, trustworthy and have an easy to use app for scheduling and instructions. I’ve been using Critter Sitters for 10 years and my pets love them as much as I do!

Month after month, year after year, we have relied on Critter Sitters for our dogs and cats visits on days that we can’t be home for them. And every single visit I would give them 5 stars! Every one of their sitters is responsible, thorough, compassionate and trustworthy. They are flexible if plans change and very reasonably priced. Additionally they can give medications, bring in mail, turn on lights, etc and there is no extra cost for these services.

I cannot speak highly enough of Critter Sitters! I frequently travel for work and I am out at ease knowing my 2, very spoiled cats, are being loved on by them. They send timely updates that include pictures. I think when I saw that both of my cats were so comfortable with them that they showed them their belly, I knew they were in good hands.

This pet sitting service is awesome. They communicate well and get back to you in a timely manner. My cats seem happy when I return home. They took care of my elderly cats extremely well, giving them the medicine they needed while I was away. I would recommend you give them a call if you need a pet sitter!

We love Critter Sitters for more reasons than can be listed here. Our lives have been easier since we found them--and our cats like them too. ?

Fabulous. She loves the routine of the visits which is basically ALL FUN ALL THE TIME (plus meals and bathroom breaks). She has a fabulous time. Communication is awesome, quick response, attention to detail and the well being of my dog. The best. Leah gives them a PAWS UP.

Critter Sitters is a really great company run by caring people. All of the providers are pet owners and it really shows in the attention they pay to both your pets and your home. They update you immediately if anything, big or small, comes up, and are very responsive to your requests.

We had a poor experience last year with a different sitter. Decided to give Critter Sitters a try, and boy am I glad we did. We first had them come by 1x a day back in the spring to try it out. Went very well, so we did 3x per day for a week vacation. Went great, dog was super happy with them. Recommend 100%.

They took exceptional care of our dogs while we were gone. They were very communicative and posted so many pictures of our dogs while we were away. I know our dogs loved all the extra attention they got. We will definitely hire them again!

Critter Sitters is always dependable. They go above and beyond to take care of my dogs while I’m on vacation. I look forward to the daily updates and pics that are sent by the sitters. My dogs are much happier being cared for at home rather than going to a kennel. I have no hesitation in recommending Critter Sitters!

Whenever we go out of town, our felines eagerly await Critter Sitters arrival. The team at C. S. is punctual, professional and takes the time and attention to attend to any house needs (including watering, mail, etc). I have the utmost confidence in their care.

They are very punctual and were very kind to my animals. I love that they send photos so you can see how they are doing. They performed all the tasks I requested and spent time loving on my kitties. Love them!

We have used Critter Sitters for over a decade. We trust them with all our dogs and have recommended them to co-workers. We can imagine anyone else with our fur babies.

I cannot rave enough about Critter Sitters! I moved to Lexington in March 2018 and really was concerned about someone checking on my 2 cats while I was out of town. I came upon Sam and Critter Sitters at a festival downtown and my life has changed on trips. I no longer worry about my cats while I'm gone. I know they are not only being cared for beyond anything I could hope for, but loved! Additionally, they check on my condo, mail, water plants, etc. Traveling is a whole new experience! And the best thing is I can't wait for their daily report, which includes pics of my two guys. I give them 5 stars, 10 stars, whatever the best is!!!

Outstanding. I have used this service regularly since 1997, even before the current owners took the reigns (and they've owned it for a long long time) -- through four cats and three dogs (plus two fish!). They're simply great. They provide photos of your pets after each visit, give full reports so you don't worry, and are reliable and trustworthy. I recommend them to anyone I know with a pet.

I cannot say enough good things about Critter Sitters. We have used them for years. They love our dogs as much as we do and grieve with us when one crosses the Rainbow Bridge. We have had medical emergencies (happens with older dogs) while gone and we receive immediate phone calls. Sam or Sarah will they take them to the vet to be checked and remain on standby. I feel very comfortable leaving our dogs in their trusting and caring hands.
