We service our clients "seven days a week, 365 days a year".

We all know "there's no place like home" and the same holds true for our pets.
Pets are happiest and feel more secure when they are at home, surrounded by familiar sights, sounds and smells.

Experts agree, from a pet's perspective, the familiar environment, diet and exercise routine, along with the personal attention provided by a "Professional Pet Sitter" is the perfect answer to eliminating the stress of transportation and minimizes exposure to possible illnesses or injuries from other animals.

Creature Comforts happily provides you with what we have termed the...

All of your questions can be answered through this website,
our brochures or over the phone.


'Personal Interviews': $25 for 20 minutes...

My time is valuable as is everyone else's therefore if you feel the need to do a personal interview, the above fee is due at the time of the interview. This fee will be refunded on your first invoice if my services are secured. Please have 'your' list of questions prepared... this is NOT a 'New Client Consultation' .


'New Client' consultation:

We meet with you and your pet(s) to evaluate their needs and that of your property and gather the necessary information from you that will allow us to personalize our service to you. Please have a key ready for us at this time.
