Offering our furry AND scaly critters drop-ins, walks, overnights and more by somebody who understands animal behavior and who loves each pet as their own. My motto is simple: "Loving Care for when you're not there!"

Growing up, our home was a lively menagerie of pets—dogs, cats, and even reptiles! 🦎 That passion for animals never left me. As a former CNA/PCA and current Psychology student, I com

bine medical safety knowledge with an understanding of animal behavior to provide a stress-free experience for your pets. My family and I are thrilled to extend our love to your furry family members. Whether you have 1 pet or 10, we are here to make your life easier! 💙

15-Min Quick Check: Strictly a potty break & food/water top-off (no walks/cleaning).

30-Min Standard: Includes feeding, litter scooping, and a short walk/play.

60-Min VIP: Extended walks, cuddles, meds, and light housekeeping. Overnight Sitting: Security and comfort in your own home. Note: I serve the Crosby/Deerwood/Aitkin area. A $7 gas fee applies for homes over 20 miles away.

This handsome gentleman is Otis 🐕, and I’ve been lucky enough to be his regular sitter for over a year now!

They say consistency is key, and Otis would definitely agree. As our furry friends enter their golden years, their world changes. Aside from the aches and pains of old age, they can become extra cautious ⚠ or a bit more timid—and it requires a higher level of attention and specialized care to keep those anxieties at bay!

What Senior Care At Crosby Critter Care can look like:
Patience & Pace: We move at their speed—even if it’s a slow stroll to sniff every single blade of grass.

Strict Routines: Consistency is comfort. Meds and meals are delivered exactly on time, every time.

Extra Comfort: Ensuring those old joints have the best, most supportive spots to rest.

Quiet Companionship: Sometimes they don't want a game of fetch; they just want someone nearby while they nap.

Not to mention the peace of mind knowing your senior pet is safe at home 😌 can be relieve YOUR anxieties!

It can be SO HARD to get a good picture 📷 as adorable as they may be, not all can sit still long enough to be photogenic 😉
Nevertheless- I think every pet parent deserves to see what their babies are up to, and to be reassured by happy faces and wagging tails 💙 so prepare for tons of cute (sometimes blurry😉) candid shots of our time together when you book with me :)

Happy ! 🍫🍓

While we humans definitely deserve a chocolate-coated treat today, please remember to keep the cocoa far out of reach of your furry friends! 🚫🐶🐱

Chocolate (and cocoa products) contain theobromine, which is toxic to our pets- the darker the chocolate, the more toxic it can be to your furry friends- the darker the chocolate the more toxic! So go ahead and treat yourself, but make sure the pets stick to their own safe snacks!
