Keeping It Real: The Crockett’s Critter Care Approach to Pet Sitting
When I founded Crockett’s Critter Care in 2009, I had one goal in mind: to offer the best possible care to pets and their families with a personal, community-focused approach. It’s never been about rapid growth or maximizing profits. Instead, I’ve grown steadily, putting resources into essentials like staff training, quality pet supplies, and maintaining professional standards.
Our rates are carefully set to cover all operating expenses, including liability insurance, worker’s compensation, a bookkeeper, ongoing training, and Time to Pet software, which allows for smooth client management, scheduling, invoicing, and payments. During the pandemic, I stayed connected with clients through a newsletter, a reminder that we’re not just a business—we’re here for you and your pets.
Staying small allows me to hire dedicated staff and to learn continuously, from obtaining certifications as a Fear Free Certified Professional and ACE Free Work Trainer to becoming a Canine Reactivity Specialist. This expertise lets me help all kinds of pets, even those others might turn away.
In an industry that often emphasizes rapid growth and profits, I’m focused on maintaining a quality-driven, relationship-based business you can trust. Thank you for being part of this journey and letting me serve our community with heart.
