About Critter Sitters

60,000 Visits a Year, One Pet at a Time

Critter Sitters is metro Atlanta’s (and Georgia’s!) largest and oldest petsitting company. We pioneered the field of professional pet sitting back in the 1970s, and we’ve grown to be the largest and oldest pet sitting company in the country by getting things right for our Atlanta clients and their pets. Whether you need a dog sitter, a dog walker, a cat sitter, or a sitter who can tend to your entire menagerie of cats, dogs, fish and birds (and that lizard!) we’re ready to help. Learn more about our services.

Consistency, Flexibility, Reliability

It’s a one-to-one relationship with the same Sitter—one you and your pets will come to rely on! Sitters are responsible and committed to clients, and able to be available when you need them.

We Also Offer Midday Dog-Walking Services

Midday dog walking is perfect for busy professionals who are gone for long hours. And if you suddenly have to stay late at work, your Sitter can probably get an extra walk in for you. Just become a Key Client to make those last-second visits a possibility.

What We Don’t Do

We’re not a boarding facility. Other than that, we’re super flexible, friendly, and very serious about caring for your pets just the way you like.

Client Testimonials

“I feel like I’m right there with them…”

I love Critter Sitters! I moved to Atlanta and have used them since I’ve been here! Its so hard to leave my baby girls during the day but I know that they are in good paws. Our primary puppy walker is Laurel. She always sends me detailed updates and photos of them on their walk and enjoying their treats. I feel like I’m right there with them. I’m grateful to her, and the whole Critter Sitters Team, for everything they do! I highly recommend them! Thank you so much Laurel, Carolyn, and everyone for loving my girls as I do!

"Critter Sitters is one of the easiest services I have ever used for taking care of my cats!"

"Critter Sitters is one of the easiest services I have ever used for taking care of my cats! Susan in Gainesville has been watching my two cats for a year now and I have never once been worried about them! She is consistent with feeding times and even stays to hang out with them! She gives me daily updates on how my fur children are doing! Not only does she care about my cats but she also cares about me and always asks for me to text her when I make it home safely! I’m very sad to be moving and unable to use her services! If anyone is in the Gainesville area, please use Critter Sitters and ask for Susan!"

"I am grateful that I have such a wonderful person to look after my little ones when I am out of town!"

"I have been using Critter Sitters for almost five years. In that time, I have only had one sitter, Bille McDowell, and she is amazing with my cats! She has spent time getting to know them and always brings toys and treats for them. One of my cats is diabetic and needs insulin twice a day - a no-go for some people, but not Billie. Each visit, she spends quality time with my animals (not just feed and leave) and sends pictures to let me know they are okay. I am grateful that I have such a wonderful person to look after my little ones when I am out of town!"

"They understand your pets are like family and treat them accordingly."

"I have had amazing experience with Shannon Garrett at Critter Sitters. I have a used them for over a hundred visits and they are always prompt and communicate very well after every visit. There are also very flexible in covering emergency trips with little lead time. They understand your pets are like family and treat them accordingly. I have a potbelly pig and Shannon treats her like a queen."

" I would definitely recommend Critter Sitters to anyone with a fur baby :)"

"We’ve been using Critter Sitters for around 3 years now and I honestly don’t know what we would do without Sal! My work schedule can be a bit unpredictable and Sal is always there to help with our pup Maggie <3 Maggie can be a bit wild, but Sal is so sweet with her, and even keeps her overnight when we’re out of town. She sends pictures and updates so I know how she’s doing, and it makes it SO much easier knowing Maggie is with someone we can trust! I would definitely recommend Critter Sitters to anyone with a fur baby :) Thank you Sal!!!"
