Sitters for Family Critters

Sitters for family critters is owned and operated by Kelsey Hockenbury who spent the last 11 years working as a veterinary technician in emergency rooms and intensive care units. Animals have been a lifelong passion for her and now she wants to pass on her knowledge, experience and love by helping you to care for your furry family. She understands that your pets are your family, just as her pets are her family, and she will treat them as though they were her own. Her work experience allows her to offer more than the average pet sitter; at sitters for family critters you can be confident that your ill or elderly pets will receive premium care and be well taken care of.
