Purr-fect Cat Sitting
At Five Star Critter Care, we’re more than just pet sitters—we’re devoted cat lovers! We understand that every cat has their own unique personality, and we take the time to ensure your feline friend feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers quiet companionship, we tailor our visits to meet their needs. We provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, administer medications if needed, and, of course, offer plenty of love and attention.
Best of all, we’re available 365 days a year, including holidays, to provide reliable and compassionate care. When you can’t be home, rest easy knowing your cat is in caring, experienced hands.

15 Minute Visit
This is our express visit option which is a good option if you have cats that are not social and will not come out. We understand some cats don’t like strangers no matter how much time they are given to warm up!
$28
30 Minute Visit
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).
$40
45 Minute Visit
Our extended visit option allows additional time to love on your cats so if you have a very social cat then this is a great option. We are happy to sit and pet your cat or if they love playing with a certain toy then we are happy to tire them out playing around.

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 are happy to accept cats who need medication as long as they are cooperative!
Some of the most common medications we administer include probiotics, Cosequin, Methimazole and antibiotics. Transdermal and oral meds we are happy to administer.
Some of our team are qualified to provide sub-q fluids for cats who need a little extra kidney care so please submit the form below to see if we are able to assist you.
If you have a question about if we can care for your cat who needs medication, you are welcome to fill out our Cat Medication Inquiry Form and we are happy to reach back out to answer your medication related question.
We are currently NOT accepting cats who need insulin shots.
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 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

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.
