Carol's Critter Sitters is a wonderful business. Their kind, friendly, professional staff has taken excellent care of our dogs for the past 17 years, and we couldn't be more pleased with the service. They are reliable, punctual, flexible, and truly caring people. They leave notes after each visit and pay special attention to any specific pet needs. When vacationing, it's peace of mind to know our pets are in the best hands, and in the comfort of our own home. I absolutely, highly recommend Carol's Critter Sitters.

We have used Carol and her staff for approximately 7 or 8 years now.  Carol will lay out your requests in a very detailed plan so as to provide you with the best service necessary.  If mail or plant care, etc. is needed be sure to ask about that.  They have been such a blessing to our family.  Our pets are very special to us and we leave home knowing that they will be well taken care of until our return!  Kathy is our usual sitter and our pets just love her.  We lost our dog a year ago and both Kathy and Carol couldn't have been more supportive both emotionally and physically while our little girl was sick and needed meds, etc.  We have since adopted another dog who came with huge social issues, very scared of everything that moves!  Kathy had no problem coming in to meet and interact with him.  The little guy was very accepting of her and has done great!  We have them called last minute for help way too many times and they always are right there to take care of our babies.  Carol is always very accommodating with changes in schedules and returns.

We give Carol's Critter Sitters our highest rating for animal and house sitting!  Love them!

Kate has been taking care of my cat(s) for about 13 years. My remaining cat was 15 years old with a chronic condition when we went away for an extended vacation. My cat had a urine problem, frequently missing the box. Kate cleaned up all the urine, sprayed the carpet with Nature's Miracle, replaced the pee pads. When I came home the house was immaculate. Unfortunately, while we were away, my kitty became very ill and had to be euthanized. Kate got in contact with my mother, gave me twice daily reports while we kept her under observation (of course we were hoping that it was just a passing hairball...) and when she became too weak to stand or eat, she and my mother took her to the vet and held and kissed her while the vet euthanized her, while my husband and I sat on the side of the road somewhere in Wisconsin Her illness was not Kate's fault, and Kate was aware that we did not want any heroic measures taken to save her if anything were to go badly while we were away, and she followed our wishes. Kate treats all her charges as though they were her own pets. I would recommend this service to anyone without any reservations. They are excellent, caring people who really care about your pets.

I have used Carol's Sitters for years and they have always been thorough, thoughtful, punctual, flexible and friendly.  I was gone for several weeks and really would not have gone but for Carol and her excellent sitter, Kathy.  I would absolutely  use this service again.

We have been using Carol's Critter Sitters for many years now and frankly we would not consider anything else. We tried boarding our dogs when we were away but that was very unacceptable, for us and for the dogs. We now leave them in their own home and the sitter comes in four times a day . She takes excellent care of the dogs and they just love her. We are never concerned about the quality of care that they get. She also takes great care of the house, brings in the mail and papers and generally keeps her eyes open for anything that might be a problem. We really can rest easy knowing that she is in charge!

Carol's has been providing daily services for over 13 years.  I think that says it all. 

Carol's hires the nicest people, all of whom love my puppy and every other pet that they care for.  They worry about him when he is not in their daily care.  In the 13 years, I believe that 5 different Carol's sitters have taken care of my dog and they were all wonderful. 

To the best of my recollection, they never cancelled a visit due to weather or anything else.  The walk, feed, and love on my puppy every work day and he is thrilled to see them when they get to the house.

I unconditionally recommend Carol's to anyone who asks.  I cannot say enough about the service and attitude.  I cannot count how many times my schedule changed at the last minute and Carol's always accommodated a last minute visit.  They even rescued me when I locked myself out of my house and always a smile.

Some of the sitters will also do overnights/longer vacations. 

This is a first class business and a very classy and loving group of sitters.

Our family has been using this service since the 1990's.  We have always been very pleased with the care and love they have given to our animals.   This has included from time to time to have to take them to the vet while we were on vacation.  We know that our animals are well cared for when we are not home.

I highly recommend Carol's Critter Sitters.  I have been using Carol's Critter Sitters for the past 26 years starting with our boy Zeus (who has since passed) and with our current 2 dogs.  They have always been flexible with my schedule, able to come at the last minute, and able to take on extra time if needed.  My dog's love their sitter and the time she spends time with them.  She takes them outside, spends time indoors or outdoors with them (depending the weather), and gives them love and treats.  They are well cared for and loved and I feel very comfortable knowing that.  And, when our cat makes an appearance she gives him loving, too!

I am very pleased with Carol Critter Sitters. She was referred to me by a women I work with that has used her service for 15-20 years I believe.  She is able to get someone out for me with little to no notice.

Peggy took care of my two little dogs very well. She wrote a detailed report, like a journal, each time she visited with my dogs. She gave them love and lots of attention. She fed them and gave them water. When I was trying to sell my house, Peggy was flexible and didn't mind when showings occurred. Peggy was very good at communicating with me, by texting or calling me to let me know how my dogs were doing. Peggy treated my dogs better than anyone!

The people at Carol's Critter Sitters are great!  They are very helpful and responsive.  Kathy walks Charlie almost every day since he was about 3 1/2 months old.  He loves her!  I know because I needed to stop by unexpectedly one day because I forgot something and when she arrived, Charlie was so happy to see her.  :)  They are also great about scheduling and even with the infrequent last minute unexpected times.

When I called Carol at Carol's Critter Sitters, she set me up with Patti who does our area for petsitting.   Patti called me and set up an appt for her to come over and meet our three Maine Coons and to get details of what we would need.   Patti was very punctual to the meeting and took lots of notes when I explained things to her. 
We went away this past weekend and Patti came and took care of things while we were away.  We were very pleased with how things were done. 
We will be going away for a longer period of time in October and we will not hesitate to have Patti come in again while we are away. 
I would recommend Carol's Critter Sitters and/or Patti to anyone who is looking for a petsitter in the area.
