Our standard length visits that allow us to complete all the necessary care tasks and then be able to spend time playing and/or petting your cat(s).

What Pet Owners Say About Us
I’ve been using Five Star Critter Care for about a year now and couldn’t be happier. It took me a while to find a pet sitter on par with the fantastic sitter I had before moving to Denver. I’ve finally found that with Abby and Five Star Critter Care.
Abby is extremely professional and takes great care of my cat, Milo. In turn, Milo really likes Abby and I feel very confident when I’m away that Milo is well taken care of. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Abby to anyone who needs the services of a professional pet sitter!
Our pets are our friends and family members – so I really appreciate the quality care that was given to our smallest family member. Definitely recommend.
Frequently Asked Questions
My cat needs medication administered daily, can you do that?
We accept cats who need medication on a case by case situation so please complete our Cat Medication Inquiry Form so that we can determine if we can meet your needs.
We are currently NOT accepting cats who need insulin shots.
We can never guarantee that your cat will get their medication because if they are NOT cooperative then we will not put ourselves in a position to get bitten or spend endless amounts of time trying to get your cat out of their hiding spot in order to administer it. We also won’t put your cat in a position where we really stress them out trying to administer medication.
Prior to taking on a cat who needs medication, we always do a trial visit to make sure we can give them their medication without an issue. Usually we just schedule your meet and greet at the normal time you give them their medication so we can kill two birds with one stone.
How do we become a client?
Easy! All you have to do is click on this link and it will take you to where you can quickly sign up to become a client. You can complete your client profile so we have all the information we need to provide care for your cats and then you can request a meet and greet. We are happy to help you along the way if you have any questions but the system will already prompt you to complete the sections we need you to and then we can follow up with you as well.
My cat is used to being fed the same time every day, can you accommodate this schedule?
We do not offer clients specific arrival times due to the fact that our sitters have multiple client visits to complete and we set up our sitters schedule based on the shortest drive time. We do however have a place within your pet care instructions in our pet sitting software that allows you to type in your cats preferred feeding time. If we can accommodate close to your cats preferred feeding time then we will, but we NEVER make guarantees. In general, if your cats are receiving visits once a day then your sitter will arrive sometime between 8am and 8pm. If your cats are receiving twice a day visits then your sitter will arrive in the morning sometime between 7am and 10am; and then they will be back for the afternoon visit sometime between 4-8pm.
Will I have the same cat sitter for every visit?
This is a part time job for our team members so in all likelihood you may have several cat sitters. We do try to maintain consistency with our sitters as much as possible. The good news is that we work as a team and we utilize our pet sitting software, Time To Pet to house all the pertinent pet care info so that whichever sitter is doing the visit they have all the information necessary to provide the best care possible. What this also means is that we have more availability to be able to say yes to caring for your cat because we have a team of cat sitters.
Do you offer every other day visits for cats?
For the safety and well being of the cats left in our care, we do NOT offer every other day visits. We do offer shorter 15min visits which allow us the time to do a quick visit to ensure they are well.
Do you offer cat boarding?
We do not offer cat boarding in our own homes. We only go to our clients homes and provide care in their own home. Cats are happiest at home!
How do we book services and pay you?
Easy! We have a very convenient mobile app that you can use. All you have to do is submit a request for the services you want, within 48 business hours we will process your request and send you an invoice. Once you pay your invoice, your reservation is secured and you don't have to worry about anything else but enjoying your trip!
We accept all major credit cards including Mastercard and Visa.

Thanksgiving & Christmas/New Year Holidays & Associated Peak Season Time
*Thanksgiving and the Christmas/New Year season is the most in demand time of year for us! We have holiday plans as well and therefore need clients to plan ahead for this busy time. As a result, we have strict policies around this time of year. We are often booked up by September/October so please plan ahead.
Thanksgiving (Any bookings that overlap between Nov 19-27th) : No refunds if cancelled after November 1st
Christmas/New Years (Any bookings that overlap between December 17th – January 9th ): No refunds if cancelled after December 1st
Do you charge extra during certain times of year?
We charge an additional fee on certain major holidays and peak season dates. Peak season dates are days where we have a high volume of pet sitting due to it being days adjacent to major holidays or school breaks (spring and fall break). We charge an additional $10 per visit on holidays and then $5 per visit on peak season dates. Please see a list below of the holidays we charge extra for and also what dates fall under peak season.
*We do our best to keep this list up to date but these dates are subject to change from year to year so please inquire if you have any questions.
