"My job sometimes takes me away from home for a few days at a time & I hated asking my neighbors to take care of Mufasa, Patch & Raleigh. Now I am more relaxed & confident, knowing that they are well taken care of, always have a clean litter box, fresh water & food, with lots of hugs & kisses, they are happy guys & I am a happy "Mom"!"

"My husband and I have been using Nina,  Critter Sitter of Cary for over 5 years for our two Boston Terriers. Nina is friendly, accommodating, professional, and our Bostons love her! The house is always clean when we return home and we have never had any issues. One of our dogs is older and going to a kennel is very hard on him. We have contracted with Nina to check on our boys four times a day when we are out of town. She checks on the mail, gets the newspaper, monitors the house for us, and gives great care and love to our boys! We have never been disappointed in the care that Nina has provided. It is with strong praise that we recommend Critter Sitter of Cary as the most fabulous pet sitter ever! She even fed crickets to the tree frogs that we fostered for a year!"
