Services and Rates

Catherine’s Critter Care offers service and care for your pets seven days a week. Business hours are 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Reservations are taken on a first come first serve basis. I will do my best to accommodate those with emergency situations.

Let’s get to know one another!
An initial consultation will allow us the opportunity to meet each other and get to know your pet(s) and your home. During this visit we can complete the necessary paperwork, answer questions, transfer keys and discuss detailed instructions on how to care for your pets. This required meeting needs to be scheduled at least 48 hours prior to service. This visit will last approximately one hour depending on the number of pets and detailed information on each pet. There is no charge for the initial consultation.

I will accept almost any type of pet except snakes and some exotic animals. This will be determined on a case by case basis. I also reserve the right to reject any pet that shows signs of aggression.

I do not do overnight stays or pet sitting in my home.
