Will my pet remain outside?

Although we prefer that all pets remain indoors except for exercise time, we will follow the guidelines given by the client for the welfare of their pets. We believe that responsible pet owners prefer that their pets become part of the family. To do this your pet should spend time indoors. We will not be responsible for any cat that has access to the outdoors.

What happens if my pet needs emergency care?

This will be discussed during the initial consultation where you will be asked to sign a veterinarian release form. Critter Sitting Services will do their utmost to keep you informed of any events that may occur. You are responsible for any travel expenses or veterinarian bills.
