Your Four-Legged Child Needs their Exercise as Well.

How far away from work do you live?  If you live in the far Western Suburbs of Chicagoland, chances are you have a long commute.  Our days are extended by many minutes (maybe even hours of driving).  When we are in the car or at work hours seem like days to our beloved pets…especially our dogs.

Here is a test.  You try holding it all day!  Exactly, so why would you expect your dog to do the same thing?  Human contact is what brought the wolves to the fire eons ago.  Human interaction is what your dog(s) crave.  If you are not there to provide it, why not someone who loves all creatures great and small?

The answer in Sugar Grove, Elburn, and Western Suburban Chicagoland is Critter Sitters.  Sandy or one of her amazing team members will come over every workday and walk as well as play with the “kids”.  Now that is peace of mind on which you cannot put a price!  Call Sandy and arrange an in-home meet and greet at (630) 844-9554.

Sitting for Critters is not Just for Dogs.

Oh no, there are dozens of beloved pets both great and small that need to be looked in on.  Cats certainly come to mind.  Just because your kitty seems like a loner does not mean he or she wants to be left alone for days.  To a cat, a clean litter box is like a clean bathroom to us, so why subject her to that?

Beyond that there are exotic birds that live for decades and should not be left to sit by themselves for days on end.  There are hamsters, guinea pigs, bearded dragons (cute as heck in their own way!), snakes, etc.  Any and all mammals and reptiles need looking after if you are gone for more than a day or two.

Enter Critter Sitters.  Sandy and her amazing staff really do care for all creatures great and small and know how important they are to your family structure.  Monty Python had a cute skit back in a day that said with tongue in cheek “you wouldn’t want to come home to a dead cat!”.  Let your pets enjoy the comforts of their home while you are gone.  Call Critter Sitters serving the far Western Suburbs of Chicagoland at (630) 844-9554.

Considering Pet Insurance.

Should you carry pet insurance?  Well, do you carry human insurance?  How important are your four-legged children to you and your family?  You could rationalize that we only have these loved-ones for a dozen years or so, but do we want to say good-bye too soon because we can’t afford to treat an affliction or injury?

Here are some reasons to have pet insurance –

1.  It allows you to pick your veterinarian.
2.  It does not discriminate by breed or age…nearly any dog or cat can be insured.
3.  Prevents dipping into emergency funds that were earmarked for something else.
4.  Peace of mind.  Need we say more?

If you believe in pet sitting services, it would also seem that you would be a strong proponent of pet insurance.  We at Critter Sitters have “no dog in the fight”.  We just want you to have your beloved family member for as long as you can.  Please visit www.alltopcrittersitters.com to discover who we are and what we believe in.  Give us a call at (630) 844-9554.

Vetting your Sitter.

We could say…vet your vet…you should do that too, but here we are talking about the humans that you trust to watch, walk, and generally baby-sit your four-legged children.  Who are they exactly?  Will they care as much about my pet as I do?  These are critical questions that need comforting answers.  So, make a New Year’s resolution!

For example, what vets do they use and trust?  What adoption services do they “adopt” and endorse?  Do they have the expertise to care for your loved one in case of an emergency?  Are they “friends” of the ASPCA and the American Kennel Club.  And, above all, who are the pet-sitters that are a part of their team.

All of these answers and more can be found at this website…alltopcrittersitters.com.  For decades Sandy has been caring for pets in the Elburn, Sugar Grove, and surrounding areas of Western Suburban Chicago.  She has built a team of caring, loving individuals who have been thoroughly vetted.  Call Sandy to arrange an in-home visit at (630) 844-9554.

With More Life comes More Challenges.

Just as human longevity has dramatically increased our wonderful four-legged children are living longer too.  For the most part, that is wonderful and we are truly blessed!  With longevity comes challenges.  Just as humans often need special care in their senior years so might our dog or cat or other beloved pet.

There are things that need to be done to enhance the quality of life in these golden months and years.  Such things as insulin shots, pill taking for recalcitrant pets, and administration of subcutaneous fluids.  Are you equipped for that?  It can be incredibly frustrating and stressful trying to administer these life-prolonging supplements.

You may have heard of Critter Sitters.  They are known throughout the Sugar Grove and Elburn area as premier dog-walking and pet care professionals.  Critter Sitters is also whom to call when your pet has special needs.  Visit their website at www.alltopcrittersitters.com then call Sandy for more information at (630) 844-9554.

Dogs are Not Bears.

Well no duh!  Your four-legged canine best friend is not going into hibernation for the next several months.  They need fresh air and exercise now more than ever as the seasons change and the snow begins to fly.  They need potty breaks, walks, and exercise in the winter instead of being confined in your home all day.

Do you want to go out in the Suburban Chicago winter weather to walk your dog every day?  For many of us it is just not practical to do so.  You should be looking into hiring a professional dog walking service.  Hire someone who is hearty and more than willing to walk your pooch on some of our winter days.

The answer to your dilemma is found at Critter Sitters.  Visit the website www.alltopcrittersitters.com and see the gallery of beautiful creatures that Sandy Hafenbrack and her loving staff take care of year around.  They serve the entire Sugar Grove and Elburn area with special dog walking services.  Call for an in-home visit today at (630) 844-9554.

Elizabeth…The Queen of Pet Sitters.

Liz, as she is known, is one of the amazing pet care professionals employed by Sandy Hafenbrack of Critter Sitters Pet Sitting Service.  If you hear her mention the names Izzy and Bailey Jane she is just talking about her kids.  They are two marvelous felines who share her home and her life.

When it comes to pedigrees Liz has quite an impressive one herself.  At one time, she managed the Chicago Marathon for PAWS.  If you have not heard of it we are referring to Chicago’s largest no kill animal shelter!  She has spent her life loving all creatures great and small.  She will share her love of animals anytime you ask.

Liz is one of the truly caring pet sitters whom Sandy trusts implicitly to treat your beloved four-legged child with the same care and attention you do.  When you go to work each day or perhaps on vacation turn to Critter Sitters Pet Sitting Service attending to pets throughout Sugar Grove, Elburn, and the surrounding area.  Just call Sandy anytime at (630) 844-9554.

The Human side of Pet Sitting.

Our beloved four-legged child does not take care of him or herself.  The human touch is what makes having a pet the fulfilling part of life that it experiences.  When you can’t be there to love on and exercise your best friend you need someone who cares as much as you do about their well-being.

Meet Beth…she has been an integral part of Critter Sitters Pet Sitting Service since the beginning of 2017.  She has been caring for creatures great and small for more than four decades.  She knows that your pet IS one of your children.  And it only begins with dogs.  She is also experienced with cats, rabbits, birds, fish, lizards and all small rodents.

When you need someone to look in on and exercise your four-legged family member (especially daily) call Sandy at Critter Sitters.  She will arrange for Beth or another of her experienced staff to come out and meet with you.  Critter Sitters Pet Sitting Service serves Sugar Grove, Elburn, and the surrounding area with the best pet sitting on earth.  Call today at (630) 844-9554.

Pet Sitting as a Career Path.

How much do you love 4-legged creatures?  Do you have a dog or cat or two and wish you could interact with more of these beloved friends without having them live in your home?  If this is something that you have thought about periodically now is the time to consider a full or part-time career in pet sitting.  What a great cure for cabin fever!

Please understand that a commitment to taking care of other people’s 4-legged children is a sacred trust.  You will be responsible for feeding, walking, and talking to them when their parents are away at work or for an extended period of time.  But just like a grandparent you may spoil them and then go home without having to care for them full time.

This tremendous opportunity to fulfill your dream is available right now.  If you live in the Aurora/Fox Valley area of western suburban Chicago, Sandy Hafenbrack would like to meet you and discuss your future as a pet sitter.  Visit her website at www.alltopcrittersitters.com to see the services that she offers then give her a call at (630) 844-9554.
