Yes! We use a pet sitting service called Critter Companions. It took a lot of research, and I can assure you that they are the BEST. I called almost everyone advertising this sort of service when my husband and I first moved to Grayhawk over a year ago, and I felt most comfortable with Critter Companions. They are both very pet friendly and professional.

Maryann (owner) will set up a free interview at your home for both you and your pet to meet with your designated pet sitter. During this interview, the sitter will take detailed notes on just about everything. They screen all their sitters, and I believe they are all responsible adult homeowners.

We use them for service during the day ( 30-40 min.) every day while my husband and I are both away at work. They will pick up dog poop, take in the trash, pick up the paper, water plants, etc. in addition to play time and administering any medications necessary. We have also used them for overnight visits. The overnight visits are great as you benefit from both a companion for your pet and someone to watch over your house.

I have found them to be extremely reliable with great follow-up. The service is owned by a husband and wife team who are very reachable night or day. If there is ever an issue with a sitter calling in sick, or any other problems during the visit, the sitters are always in touch with Maryann and Darryl who will step in to handle it.

You can reach Maryann at Critter Companions by calling 971-4066. If Maryann herself doesn't answer, their answering service will forward the message to her, and you should receive a return phone call shortly.

Have fun on your vacation!
