Sarah and Maria are the best! I really appreciate them coming through for us at the last minute when we needed help with our pet leopard gecko. Finding reliable reptile care in Orange County is rare, so I'm especially thankful they were able to help. Maria deserves a special shout-out because she handled all the legwork and immediately put me at ease with her reptile experience. From her very first visit, she took care of everything perfectly. I would give her more than five stars if I could! I highly recommend Critter Sitters for reptile pet sitting. We'll be bringing our dog in for pet sitting next time, and I'll definitely be back with another review--but for reptile care, you're absolutely in great hands with Maria. Steve R. read more

This was my first time ever leaving my dogs with a professional dog-sitting company, and I was honestly nervous. Ever since my older dog was diagnosed with diabetes, it has been so stressful trying to find someone I can truly trust to care for her. I knew I needed someone reliable while traveling out of the country, and I'm so grateful I found this company. Maria was incredible--she sent multiple photos and updates every single day, which meant so much to me. She was thorough, attentive, and I could genuinely tell how much my pups adored her. It was such a relief to be able to fully relax on my trip knowing my dogs were being loved and cared for as if they were her own. Highly recommend! read more

Sarah is fantastic!! I absolutely love her. She is so accommodating and easy to work with and she's great with my puppy.

Sarah's the absolute best, and really an angel for our two kitties. She dotes on them and they love her so much that they smother her when she comes over. One of our cats has severe separation anxiety and having Sarah there has been the only thing that's allowed us to travel! Sarah is immensely kind and respectful of our place, always leaving it spotless. She cares for our babies and home as if they're her own. She always sends pictures and updates and allows us to be away from home worry-free! Our whole family (especially our furbabies) loves her. Highly recommend! read more

Hi , my name is Peter ( the cutest chihuahua) and my owners left town and thought they were dumping us with the Critter Sitter. The truth is that if I had thumbs and an Amex I would send them away more often. After a week with our fabulous Critter Sitter I feel more relaxed and confident. They always show up on time, exactly when they promised! A week with unlimited belly rubs and snuggles is exactly what I need. Maria comes by during the day to lets me smell the flowers and stretch my legs. My brother is afraid of the dark so Sarah is there to make dinner and keep us company. I am now on meds but the Critter Sitters have this covered! Now if only the owners would take my brother, Duke The Dog with them I could have the Critter Sitter all to myself! I am not good at sharing. P.S. apparently they send Mom a bunch of updates because she showed me all the messages after she got home. read more

An update to older review. We have trusted Sarah and her company for years now. She is outstanding. She understands the level of trust involved with being allowed into someone else's home when they are away. Sarah is very respectful and hard working. But what I like best is how communicative she is. Always texting pics of our animals. She is punctual and responsible. I take a lot of pride in supporting small businesses like hers. ***HIGHLY RECOMMEND *** read more

Critter Sitters has been our go-to pet sitter for many years and is the BEST one we have ever had! I HIGHLY recommend them! Sarah always takes such good care of our two cats Willow and Weasley. Not only do we get updates and photos if we are out of town, but when I come back I can genuinely see that the cats have been well taken care of. The water bowl is full, the food bowl is full, the cat box is clean, the toys have been played with and the cat seem happy and relaxed. We have never had such good care, with other sitters the water bowl would be very low etc. But not ever with Sarah. Sarah is a true gem and animal lover and I would trust her with any pet I had. It's hard enough to leave your fur babies anytime you travel, but with Critter Sitters I feel so much better knowing they are in good hands. read more

Sarah is awesome! I've had her watching my cats for several years now. She genuinely loves animals and it shows. I appreciate the photos and texts she shares when I travel - it keeps me connected to my furball no matter where I am. Most of all - Sarah is trustworthy. I'm a private person and I take access to my home seriously. I feel comfortable with her coming to my home while I'm away. There are lots of folks who can care for your pets. Heck, there's probably a kid in your neighborhood who's offered to walk your dog or watch you cats. But when you think about how much your pet means to you --- go with someone you can trust. read more

My husband and I have never had a dog before so we were a little unsure when we decided to adopt our maltipoo puppy, Teddy. Since we both work during the day, we asked Sarah to come by to check on our little guy mid day and give him fresh food, water, and have some play time. She has gone above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. Here are just a few of the things we have really appreciated: 1) We were having issues with the potty pad and Teddy beginning to chew it. Sarah stopped by Petsmart on her way over and purchased a pad holder so that he could no longer mess with the pad and chew it. 2) Sarah helped us determine a better food source for Teddy by recommending a few good puppy foods. Sure enough, the food helped Teddy gain the weight that the vet mentioned he needed to gain. 3) We were unsure how to clip Teddy's nails, so Sarah recommended a pair of clippers that she has had success with and then proceeded to show us how to do it. 4) Sarah noticed some behaviors in Teddy that were odd and mentioned to us that he might have an ear infection. Sure enough, we took Teddy to the vet and he had one. We would have NEVER known if it weren't for Sarah's expertise! These are only some of the things Sarah has done for us... I know for a fact that Sarah is extremely knowledgeable on dogs and has a beautiful energy that makes our little guy adore her. She's trustworthy, reliable, and has made us better dog parents in the short time we have known her. I would not hesitate to recommend Critter Sitters to anyone in need of someone to care for their furry family members! read more

Critter Sitters was a recommendation from our family friends. Maddy and Sarah were fantastic watching our 2 dogs and 4 cats! We haven't taken a family vacation in years because we have always been too nervous to board the animals. We have finally found a solution! They kept me updated with pictures of the animals daily and were excellent with communication. We didn't have worry because we knew they were in great hands. We came home and everything was clean and even put the sheets in the washer ready for us to turn it on. Cannot say enough good things about our experience! read more

Sarah has looked after our two dogs multiple times now when we have gone out of town, and she has always done a fantastic job! One of our dogs is really nervous around strangers, but he warmed up to her quickly! While we are out of town, she was great at communicating how the dogs were doing and giving us regular updates! It is definitely a huge stress relief knowing our doggies are in such great hands! read more

We found Sarah over 8 months ago, and are so grateful for her flexibility, compassion, responsibility and love for our dogs! She has been a life saver, as my husband and I have crazy schedules. The peace of mind I have while at work and school, knowing that Sarah will give my dogs the attention and exercise they need, is priceless. Sarah and her staff have been consistently walking our dogs 3 days a week for over 8 months, or more! Not only do they give our babies the exercise they need, but she sends pictures and let's us know how they're doing! She recently did an overnight visit for us, which she accommodated with only a week's notice Her employee Kayla stayed the night, and was in contact with us, which we really appreciated! We found everything just as we had left it and with very happy, relaxed, well taken-care-of pups! I have had to take my dogs to a boarding facility before, they are nervous and panting when I pick them up...they are SO much more comfortable staying in their own house. We are so grateful to have found Sarah, it is obvious she loves dogs and her reliability and flexibility are more than appreciated!! I would recommend Sarah to anyone who needs pet sitting services, Critter Sitters is the best!! read more

Sarah owner of Critter sitters is an amazing compassionate, reliable, honest,and kind critter sitter. We hired her for overnight dog sitting for our 3 dogs for a week this past Christmas vacation. Not only did she take amazing care of our pups she watered my plants, brought in the mail and even took the trash cans to the street for pick up. ( we did not ask her to do this, she noticed the neighbors taking their cans out to the curb) Sarah's is very situational aware! Our dogs love her so much. She walked them daily and let them sleep with her in bed. Sarah sent us photos almost every day and communicated either by text or phone call whenever she had questions or any concerns. Sonny, Junior and Elsa can't wait for us to go on another vacation! Thank you so much Sarah we love you! I recommend Sarah and critter sitters for your pets needs. read more

Sarah and her amazing crew at Critter Sitters have been taking care of our boys Charlie & Hugo (mini schnauzers) since winter of last year. They have been truly amazing, showing our fur babies so much love and attention during their daily walks. Hugo is one of our rescues and he has a very challenging temperament based on his past. Upon their first meeting Hugo warmed up to Sarah and her crew immediately in a matter of minutes. It was truly amazing and heart warming to know that our babies are in good hands. Our previous walkers for several years had a high transition rate and never could get comfortable walking Hugo. Their prices are very affordable for walking and sitting services. Please check them out : https://bestcrittersitters.com/ Our family highly recommends their services. read more

Worked with Sarah and couldn't be more pleased with her commitment and service. After the initial contact, I met with Sarah in person to show her around the house, where everything is kept, and what to do when babysitting my 2 year old cat. During babysitting, Sarah would send me update photos of my cat and even try to help around the house! She has never faltered in following directions and my cat loves her. Everytime I need a cat sitter, I go straight to Sarah for her services! Highly recommend! read more

Sarah is a dog-sitter sent from the heavens above. We have two big dogs, over 100 pounds each, and they love Sarah. I have zero worries when I leave my precious pups in her hands. Our house is always immaculate when we return and we've never had any issues while away. Sarah is smart, responsible and genuinely cares about our dogs. Sarah is the only dog sitter I will use for as long as she is sitting dogs. I highly recommend Critter Sitters. read more

I recently moved to the area and wasn't sure what to do about petsitting and I'm so glad we found Sarah. She came by to meet us and our pets and to pick up keys before our first trip and she has be our go-to 3 times since and she's been perfect every time. She sends a picture whenever she visits... in fact she takes better pics of my cats than I do! LOL Her pricing is very reasonable and we just have her hang on to a key now so she doesn't have to come everytime to pick up and drop off a key, I just text her when we are going out of town to see if she's available and voila, no worrying about the kitties! She is very responsive with communication which is such a plus! I never wait long for a response! We originally tried looking on sittercity.com and though slightly cheaper, the person we originally was going to use when MIA for 3 days which threw up major red flags, and she eventually replied that she had a family emergency... which made me wonder what would happen to my cats. I asked Sarah that and she said she backups in those cases, which makes me feel much better! She's great, def feel at ease when you go out of town with Sarah. read more

Sarah was fantastic. She is extremely conscientious and pays close attention to details. Excellent communicator. It was not easy to find someone to watch our chickens, but she didn't hesitate, and did a great job. Sent us photos for piece of mind. We highly recommend and will use her again without reservation. read more

Sarah is amazing! I called extremely last minute panicked but she was super calm and ready for action. I received multiple daily updates including photos, feeding and potty updates. She was very flexible and worked great with my pup. The most reassuring thing was when sarah came back over my pup was EXCITED to see her! This really showed that my pup was cared for and didn't have much anxiety while i was gone. I will 100% be using her service again. Such a sweet person, definitely recommend (: read more

I had a bad experience with a previous dog sitter, so was nervous about hiring another one. We are very protective and picky about who watches our two dogs. Sarah was referred by my neighborhood, and we have used her a handful of times over the last year. We have been extremely happy with her. She has made it easy for us to start traveling again and feel at ease with the care of our dogs in our absence. And our dogs LOVE her! Sarah always sends us photos of our dogs and give us updates with each visit. She brings in our trash bins and our house is always spotless when we return.

We contacted Sarah after reading multiple positive reviews on Yelp and NextDoor. We needed someone to let our brand new puppy out to potty while we were at work, and Sarah stepped right up to the plate. She is reasonably priced, always on time, reliable, trustworthy, and most importantly she truly cares about our pup!! The pictures she sends us while our pup is on his walk totally brightens our day. Sarah has been walking Jasper for about two months now, and she is flexible with our schedules and always easy to reach if we have any questions. She's been so amazing and we are so thankful we found her!! We had an emergency once where our pup jumped out of his pen when we weren't home, and we contacted Sarah who rushed over to our house to clean up his mess and make sure he was safe. Words can't describe how much peace of mind we have knowing that we have Sarah to help if we need her!! She goes above and beyond and we can't thank her enough!! read more

I just made an account to let everyone know how about Sarah's great service! We called last minute to schedule a visit after not being able to reach multiple sitters. Sarah not only picked up but she was able to squeeze in an initial meet and greet as well as the 30 min walk and play in such a short time frame. She was a real life saver, very professional and I highly recommend her services! read more

I used Sarah in the past for my bulldog Fergie, as I was very particular about her care. I once again used Sarah at Christmastime as my dog had some newly diagnosed issues, and I trusted the care Sarah would give her. My dog started showing some new issues upon me leaving for my trip and Sarah was compassionate and gave me the updates on her condition, followed by pics. It was a very difficult time to be away and I had to cut my trip very short to return home, as it appeared the worst was inevitable for Fergie. She was an older bulldog and her time had come. Sarah's care and compassion helped me get through a difficult time as I raced home to see my dog and spend final time with her. I will absolutely use Sarah in the future when I decide to adopt another bulldog. I highly recommend her and have gotten to know her more, she is just an awesome person! read more

I found Critter Sitters via the many positive Yelp reviews and I have to say that those reviews are accurate! I was so happy that Sarah was available for twice daily visits at a very reasonable cost because my older kitty primarily eats wet food. When Sarah came to my house for the initial visit, my kitty greeted her right away, so I knew Sarah was a good fit. She provided daily photos during my vacation and followed up with questions to make sure that everything was done as I requested. I highly recommend Critter Sitters and plan to use them again for my next vacation. read more

We have two Covid cats. Coco, who we adopted right at the beginning in April 2020, and Bevie, who we adopted eight months ago. Coco has been only with us and is extremely timid when anyone comes into the house to the point Coco hid most of the time with Sarah and did not eat. Sarah was so patient with Coco and found her whereever she was hiding. Sarah spent time finding Coco and made every effort to try to get her to eat. Sarah shared photos at every meal time and kept me updated every day. It was so comforting to have Sarah stay overnight for the nights we were away and have her in the house with Coco and Bevie. The house was clean and looked great when we got home. We already have her booked for our next trip. read more

When my Dad died, I didn't know who was going to take care of my furry babies when I traveled. I wanted to find someone who would love them as much we do. Sarah had great reviews so I took a chance and hired her. She was so professional, made timely visits each day and took videos/pictures of my babies. My heart was at ease and I was able to focus on vacation. Thank you Sarah! read more

Sarah and her employee Maddy did a great job overnighting with my very anxious dog. They kept me updated with photos, and details of how she was doing, if she was eating, taking her meds, etc. It gave me a lot of comfort while I was away, and I am confident they will be as attentive to your family members. My dog had never been left with anyone but close family so I was concerned how she would do, but it went great and I wouldn't hesitate to use Critter Sitters in the future. It's so much nicer for our pets to stay home while we're away, and my girl is a senior now and doesn't do well in new environments. Thank you ladies! read more

Sarah and her team are very responsive to requests and provide flexible scheduling. They are always on-time and make my cats feel like they're loved.

I highly recommend Critter Sitters for all your pet needs including giving medication and treats too. read more
