CritterSitters Vet. Technician-Staffed Pet Care

Introduction: CritterSitters Veterinary Technician-Staffed In-Home Pet Care is your answer to finding quality, compassionate care for your furred, finned, feathered, and scaled friends while you are away. CritterSitters pet sitters are all experienced veterinary technicians (nurses) and also pet owners. Serving Worcester County and surrounding areas since 2001, we care for dogs, cats, ferrets, birds, reptiles, aquaria, and small animals in the comfort of their own homes; care for large animals such as horses may also be arranged. Most home visits are 1/2 hour to 1 hour in length and several a day can be scheduled; overnight care is available as well. CritterSitters staff are capable of and experienced with administering a variety of medications and treatments, including subcutaneous fluids, oral medications, transdermal gels, injectable medications, and diabetes maintenance including checking blood glucose and administering insulin. Other services provided at no extra charge include collecting mail and newspapers, turning lights on and off, watering plants, etc. within reason. Clients will be presented with a professional contract to be reviewed with the assigned pet sitter prior to the dates of service, as well as a healthcare proxy that explains up front what you would like us to do in a medical emergency, and CritterSitters staff will generally come to meet you and your pets prior to dates of service. If you need to be away and would like your pets to remain as comfortable and stress-free as possible by staying in their own home while you are gone and to be cared for by medical professionals who will treat your pets like their own, please contact CritterSitters today.
