Happy Pets, Happy Home!

Jeanne and her crew of critter caretakers make leaving my pet behind much easier. They give me peace of mind knowing my furry friend is in good hands with the photos and updates I get during my time away. They are professional, diligent, and most importantly, loving toward my pet as if it was their own. Overall, some of the best pet care I have received.

Molly C.

I can always tell after Jeanne or someone from Crockett’s Critter care, has visited because my dogs are happy and try to talk to me to tell me how much fun they have had. I love the photos they send, especially if I am out of town. The love she has for animals is amazing! Highly recommended! Lovay S.

Jeanne has watched my dogs for going four years now and I would never ever use anyone else! She cares for my dogs just as much as I do and gives me lots of good advice for them. She is very experienced and like I said, I wouldn’t use anyone else! Misty P.

We call Jeanne the “pet whisperer”. I don’t know how she does it (could it be the hot dogs??) but our dogs love her! She truly knows what our dogs are thinking and what they need and they actually listen to her! Jeanne is extremely reliable and trustworthy. I wish she would expand her business to include teenagers. 🙂 Kelly B.

Our Team

Lauren

Every pet that I care for will always have a special place in my heart.

My first pets were a Rottweiler / Australian Shepherd mix named Bear and a Teddy Bear Hamster named Brownie. Now I have a houseful of pets: an English Bulldog (Goober), a Coonhound (Fraulein), 2 Chinchillas (Wookie and Baby Wookie), and a Leopard Gecko (Bessy).

James

There’s no better Psychiatrist than a puppy licking your face.

When I was about 5 years old we got Babe, a mixed breed Beagle from the “dog pound”. Now I have two pound hounds, Maggie, a mixed breed Husky and Nikki, a Chihuahua.

Tonja

Happiness is a warm puppy. - Charles Schultz

I remember romping through the blue bonnet fields in TX with our boxer when I was less than 5 years old. My life just hasn’t been complete without a dog (or two) in the house since 1992; and they have all left their prints on my soul. Currently, I have a mixed breed named Chloe, who is loving life at 6 yrs. old.

Jamee

A house is not a home without a dog.

I grew up with many dogs and the first one I adopted was a German Shephard/Great Dane mix, “Otis” named for his affinity for Otis Spunkmeyer cookies. He was a part of our family for 14 years and will never be forgotten. Now I have 2 adopted lab mixes, Wesco Abraham and Bootsie.

Cheryle

I can’t think of anything more fun than being around cats and dogs.

I moved to New Bern in May 2018, from Michigan, to be near my family. I volunteer 3 days a week at my sister’s cat sanctuary. So fun! My first pet was a cat named Handful. He lived to be 20 years old. I rescued my dog Lilly, a German Shepherd Beagle mix, from a shelter in 2012. She is my best friend.

David

Every day with the pups is a good day.

I’m originally from Minnesota, but I moved all around the country and settled in New Bern in 2009. When I was four years old I got my first dog Sadie a Cocker Spaniel. Now I share my home with Lucy and Jack, Yorkshire Terriers and Schatzie a Yellow Labrador.

An extended leash used for dog walking may enable the dog to venture near a well-camouflaged snake that we don’t know is there until it has struck.

Bye-Bye, Back Soon!

by Jeanne Crockett | Apr 11, 2019 | Pet Sitting | 0 Comments

I’m curious. When you leave your home, what do you tell your pets? Do you linger over them, tell them you hate to leave and will return soon? Do you leave them with kisses, pats on the head, and kind words? Do you just say – "Gotta go!" and dash out the door? I asked...
