Pet Sitter For Small Critters From Guinea Pigs To Rabbits, Birds, Reptiles And More
We have an amazing team of critter sitters ready to take care of your furry family member. Five Star Critter Care is fully insured and bonded; and our pet sitters are all background checked and are thoroughly trained so you can rest assured that your home and pets will be in good hands. To learn more about us please check out our About Us page.
We travel to our clients homes to check on their pets in the comfort of their own home. Some of the most common pets we care for are rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles, fish and birds, but we also care for more unique pets like chinchillas, sugar gliders and pigs. We provide critter sitting services in all of Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree, as well as parts of Littleton and Centennial. Please check out our Service Area page to determine if you are located in our service area.
Rabbit Pet Sitting
If you’re looking for pet care professionals who truly understand the unique needs of rabbits, you’re in the right place. Rabbits are often misunderstood as “low-maintenance” pets, but in reality they require attentive, knowledgeable care and close observation while you’re away.
Our team understands rabbit behavior, diet, and the subtle signs that something may be off. We pay careful attention to their eating habits, bathroom patterns, and overall demeanor to help ensure they remain healthy and stress-free in your absence. We are experienced in recognizing early warning signs of serious conditions such as GI stasis and know how quickly rabbits can decline if something isn’t right.
And yes — we are absolutely happy to care for free-roam rabbits.

Guinea Pig Pet Sitting
Guinea pigs may be small, but their care needs are anything but. These sensitive little animals thrive on routine, proper diet, and a calm environment, and they require a sitter who understands their unique behaviors and health needs.
Our team is experienced in caring for guinea pigs and knows what to watch for while you’re away. We pay close attention to their appetite, water intake, droppings, and overall demeanor to ensure they remain comfortable and healthy. Because guinea pigs can be prone to issues like digestive upset and respiratory concerns, we monitor them carefully and act quickly if anything seems out of the ordinary.
We are also very comfortable caring for bonded pairs or groups, as we understand how important companionship is for guinea pigs.

Reptile Pet Sitting
Reptiles have very specific care requirements that go far beyond a quick check-in. From precise temperatures and lighting to species-specific feeding and habitat needs, reptiles require a sitter who understands how important consistency is to their health and well-being.
Our team is experienced in caring for a variety of reptiles and knows how to properly maintain their environment while you’re away. We carefully monitor heat sources, lighting, humidity levels, and overall enclosure conditions to ensure everything stays within the proper range. We also pay close attention to appetite, behavior, and signs of shedding or stress so that any concerns can be addressed quickly.
Whether your reptile requires daily feeding, misting, or simply careful observation, we follow your instructions closely to maintain their routine and comfort.
