Yes. We are fully bonded and insured, providing complete financial protection for your home, your property, and your pets on every visit.
Do you work with clients who hold active security clearances?
Yes - we regularly serve clients with active security clearances throughout Stafford, Spotsylvania, King George, and Fredericksburg. Our team is trained in discretion and professional conduct appropriate for sensitive household situations. We do not discuss, share, or disclose any information about our clients or their households.

What if I need a different sitter on short notice?

App-based services connect you with independent contractors who set their own standards and may or may not be background-checked, insured, or trained.

Critter Sitter of VA is a licensed professional business - every team member is personally vetted, trained, insured, and held to our professional standards on every visit.
