Pet care experience
Hello, I'm Craig. I am a MSU Graduate and Hewlett-Packard retiree. I now have more time to play, and love spending time with animals. I have had many animals over the course of my life ... cats, dogs, and a parrot. Animals seem to bond with me and I definitely gravitate to them. When I was in High School I worked for a vet who took care of both large and small animals. I also helped with the horses he boarded and bred. Currently my wife and I have three cats that are totally spoiled and range from kittenhood to age 22. We consider our cats as our kids. I look forward to providing your furry family members with the same compassionate and reliable care that I provide our own.
Reviews
Craig loves our dog, Lucy and has cared for her multiple times over the years while we traveled. Anytime he comes to visit, he brings her a special treat and believe me, now she expects it! Lucy clearly loves Craig too - you can just tell. She gets very excited to see him. Lucy was recently diagnosed with glaucoma - poor thing. She lost vision in one eye and it had to be removed. Now she is losing the vision in her remaining eye too. Craig often asks how she's doing because he clearly cares about her well being. The last time we went away he watched her and we asked him to administer her eye drops. He was happy to do it and he took good care of her. He loves to take her for walks and play in the yard. It's nice to know she gets her exercise while we are gone. I recommend Craig to care for any animal you might need help with. He is kind and a true animal lover. He is extremely trustworthy and very reliable. I highly recommend him!
Craig is my neighbor, he is a kind and gentle man. He goes out of his way to make sure my driveway is clear of snow as I work night shifts. He also watches my 2 cats when I am out of town. I call him the cat whisperer. I would highly recommend him to watch your cat or dog and provide loving care.
Hello. I have known Craig for over 25 years. He is amazing with animals, and I recommend him as a petsitter. Not only is he great with animals but he has a work ethic that cannot be beat. I know this to be true because I am married to this wonderful human being. He LOVES animals and they love him. People love him too! Give him a try and your furry family member(s) will thank you.
Hi. I am Craig's partner of 25-plus years. I married him for many reasons but one defining reason ... his love of animals ... was key for me. He is an animal whisperer for sure. He provides loving care for our pets (as do I) and will do same for yours. You can take comfort that your pets will be treated as family.
