Your Critter Companions - Pet Sitting Services - Mountain View, CA
Please contact us through Petworks. Thank you.
We are a small family of professional pet sitters, who are also pet owners so we understand the mindset of a pet owner completed! We work closely with each owner to ensure the routine we follow is what the pet is already used to, so pets view us as an extension of their family! Want to go away on vacation but hate kennels or caging your pet? Have a pet that prefers (or needs) to stay in its own home instead of someplace else? Or perhaps you simply want to make sure your pet gets the exercise and hugs he or she needs while you are working? Regardless of what your needs may be, look no further! "Your Critter Companions" is a local family-owned pet sitting and dog walking service that offers Bay Area pet owners a wide variety of pet services including dog walks, cage-less boarding, pet visits, medication and fluid administration, as well as pet transportation, hospice, and respite care for most types of pets. Established in the Bay Area in 1990 (and the ONLY pet service in continuous operation since that time), we have 20+ years of experience providing outstanding dog walking / pet sitting service for our wonderful animal friends, and helping out with their owners with all types of pet service needs. Remember to shop local for pet services, since this supports not only locally-owned / operated small businesses but also benefits local rescue and adoption services!
We are reliable and caring, and are all pet owners just like you -- we'll treat your pets like our own! Everyone has been through a detailed vetting process since we believe strongly that as pet service providers we should meet not only the client requirements but also our own high standards. One result is that everyone at YCC is licensed, bonded, and insured. This is particularly important since each pet owner needs to be able to put their trust in the staff sitter or dog walker that is assigned to their pet.
All kinds of pets are welcome with Your Critter Companions -- big, small, young, elderly, hearing-impaired, vision-impaired, calm, energetic, mobility-impaired, you name it...they all are truly your best friend and the most loyal companion you can have! We will go above and beyond for your pet to make sure they get everything they need. And we can email, call or text you with regular updates for any type of service. Our rates are based on the number and type of pet you need service for, as well as the type and frequency of service needed. We don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach since every pet family is unique.
Currently, we can provide service in the following cities: Alamo, Albany, Belmont, Berkeley, Burlingame, Campbell, Castro Valley, Concord, Danville, Dublin, Emeryville, Fremont, Hayward, Livermore, Martinez, Milpitas, Mountain View, Newark, Oakland, Palo Alto, Piedmont, Pleasant Hill, Pleasanton, Redwood City, San Jose, San Leandro, San Lorenzo, San Ramon, Santa Clara, Saratoga, Sunnyvale, Union City, Walnut Creek, and surrounding cities.
