Here are some tips from your Chandler pet sitters for accomplishing the seemingly impossible: medicating your cat. –Hide the pill inside something: Try a treat […]
Many people think that cats are boring. Well as the mom of 4, I can assure you they’re just as entertaining, social and wonderful as dogs. But they don’t DO anything you say…well my answer to that is maybe you aren’t doing the right “cat things” with them. 🙂 Cats are highly social and playful; […]

Many of our pet sitting clients travel during this holiday, so your Gilbert pet sitter is busy spending time with your pets.

Meet Nicole Lueders, member of the Critter Caretaker pet sitting team:
“I grew up surrounded by dogs! At age 14, I found two orphaned jackrabbits and raised them until they could be released in the wild. My career is in teaching, but I have volunteered in animal rescue for the since 2009. I do medical, neonate and hospice fostering for cats in my home, and work with dogs in the shelter. I am skilled in administering medication to dogs and cats; orally, transdermally and injection. I am able to administer subcutaneous fluids and have been trained in canine and feline CPR. Comfortable with all sizes and breeds of animals, pit bull hold a special place in my heart. I have participated in shy dog socialization classes and pit bull manners classes with rescue dogs and can work with shy or more dominant dogs. I have also been part of the feline socialization team at the animal shelter and I am skilled in working with shy cats. I currently have two rescue cats of my own, Fiona and Duchess. I have been petsitting for 10yrs, and have been with Critter Caretakers since 2014”.

Consider first if you’re going to clip the leash to a collar or harness on the pooch. If extra control is needed or your pup has “backed out” of his collar, a harness may be in order. There […]
An age old question that some of our pet sitting clients in Gilbert ask us is, when it comes to feeding my pets, (especially for most cat owners), should I free feed (leaving food out readily available for them to eat at will) or put my pet on a scheduled feeding? There are many reasons […]

Well our Pawesome clients have done it….again!

At that time, we were blown away by our clients generosity in donating 312 pounds of much needed food and 75 blankets and towels. […]
