We are an insured, bonded, and 18 yr experienced pet sitting company, servicing Columbia, Summertown, Mt. Pleasant and Ethridge TN. It is my personal goal to provide your pets with professional and loving care in their own home while you are away. After all, there's no place like home for your furry and feathered companions. This service also helps to deter criminal activity away from your home by giving it a "lived-in" look. These are a few of the assurances as why pet sitting service is good for you and your pets: * Reduced stress for your pets as they remain at home in a safe, secure environment, surrounded by familiar sights, smells and sounds. * Your pets will be able to follow their regular diet and exercise routine with personal one on one attention while the owner is away. * No travel necessary. No need to schedule the trips to and from a boarding facility or relative's home before and after your trip. * Reduced exposure to outside illnesses. Close observation by a pet sitter catches illness or injury early as well. * Your home is more secure with crime-deterrent measures of gathering mail, changing lights and daily activity at the home. * No impositions to friends, neighbors or relatives. * Kennels can become booked up quickly, especially around the holidays. Pet sitters are less likely to be booked solid at any given time. So why use Shelley's Crittercare? What sets us apart?
