Critter Caretakers

Picture this: It’s Christmas morning and you can’t *wait* for your little girl to get up so you can give her the new kitten you bought her, or for your boyfriend to see the dog you’ve gotten him. Sure it’s wonderful to see the (you hope) delight on their faces and watch as they spend […]

Thanksgiving is almost here! That means a house full of loved ones and friends, a busy time preparing and a table full of wonderful food. For many of us, including your Mesa pet sitters, our pets are included in that list of loved ones. So the question is, should you let your furry family members […]

Meow…meow…mrrrreowwww…..MMMMMMRRRRREEEEOOOOWWWWW!!!! Usually said by your cat at a time when you can’t pay attention, or our favorite, at 3 a.m. while you’re trying to sleep.

“Hello, my name is Jessica Cobley! I have been pet sitting for over 10 years, and have been with Critter Caretakers since 2018. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, rodents and reptiles. I grew up here in the valley with a multitude of dogs ranging from a Rottweiler to a Husky to a Toy Poodle and a Golden Retriever, as well as a cat, a hamster and several fish through out the years. I currently have a Husky/Lab mix named Otis. My day job is in education, which is my passion. I am lucky to be able to work for Critter Caretakers since teaching doesn’t usually include many animals! I am available for daily visits, puppy and kitten care, dog walks, and overnight pet sitting in Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa and Phoenix.”

“My true passion in life is the care and well-being of animals. I will treat your family members as if they were my own. Animals bring such joy to my heart and I know the importance of a pet owner leaving and knowing their pet family is well cared for.

Let’s face it – we all love to spoil our dogs and give them lots of yummy treats. Sometimes we even enjoy slipping them some table scraps. (It’s hard to resist those big brown eyes, we know!)  However, there are times where we’re giving our canine companions some things that aren’t in our best interest […]
