Does the sitter seem comfortable and competent?
Does the pet sitter have regular office hours or return customer inquiries promptly?
Does the pet sitter have a veterinarian on call for emergency services?
What contingency plan for pet care does the sitter have in the event of personal illness?

Corks Critter Care fulfills all of the above and more!.
Whether you're away for a day, a week, or several months, you are surely like most pet owners who want someone trustworthy to look after their pets, property, and valuables. Many people are often reluctant to impose on a neighbor, friend, or relative, for a variety of reasons, and therefore find a professional home/pet sitter that meets their needs. At Corks Critter Care, we tailor our services to your needs!
Corks Critter Care is not just for those who will be away but is also ideal for those who are experiencing unusual working hours or uncontrollable events that occur in life (illness, surgery, or hospitalization) that may make it difficult to properly care for your pet.
If you have a new puppy or kitten, a very old or ill pet, or a pet recovering from surgery; they all need extra care and attention. Or sometimes your pet just needs an extra bit of attention that you just aren't able to find the time or energy for.
Mid-day walks or visits are also available for clients who would like their dog to get regular exercise but have trouble providing it themselves due to busy work schedules and long days at the office. Or perhaps you are an elderly pet owner who enjoys the companionship but can't manage daily walks or exercise. This could also be the solution for apartment dwellers who absolutely must get their dog out for a walk!
We offer a variety of convenient services to fit your schedule by the day, weekend, week or month.
