We are a family-run business owned by two ex-cops, committed to delivering the highest level of client service with a personal touch. We're big enough to ensure professional, reliable operations and meticulously vetted caregivers, yet small enough to genuinely care about every wagging tail and purring friend.

"What an AWESOME experience with Liza, Tony, and our sitter Nicole who watched our 9 week old puppy. Cannot say enough good things and heap on enough praise. Critter Caretakers came through for us when a sitter from another company canceled on us with only 3 hours before we were to leave for the Arizona Broadway Theatre. We are so very pleased and deeply appreciative for the terrific assistance. Professional and caring people.Our sincerest heartfelt thank you to Liza, Tony and absolutely Nicole."
"This review is long overdue - we have been using Critter Caretakers for almost 2 years and wouldn't trust our pet with anyone else. You can tell each staff member really cares about your pet and the owners Liza and Tony are fantastic. I would HIGHLY recommend this pet service/company to anyone!"
"We are beyond thrilled to have found Critter Caretakers! Our shy little rescue kitty was given the most loving and attentive care we could have hoped for. The daily communication that was sent to us complete with photos and videos was such a comfort; allowing us to relax and truly enjoy our vacation. There should be 10 stars available to rate this service! Thank you, Liza, Rae, Luis and Tony. We love you and will see you again soon!"
