J&M Critter Care

Offering a professional pet sitting and livestock care service that allows your pets to stay in the comforts of their own home. Why hire a pet sitting company?

This includes vacation care, mid-day walks/breaks, or daily drop-ins as needed. We are professional, reliable, and insured. A pet sitting company provides something individuals can't. We provide flexibility, back-up, and more options. With multiple professionals ready to assist we can accommodate more schedules and match your pet's personality to a pet sitter if needed. Why hire J&M Critter Care?

This isn't a part-time job for us. Your pet will receive our full attention and not be fit into our day. We are fully insured and bonded and operate as an LLC. As the owner of the company, I have more than 20 years’ experience in animal care. I have spent 15 years in the zoo business as an animal care manager with exotics. While working as a zoo keeper, I also worked caring for horses and I spent 2 years working as a civilian contractor for the Department of Defense caring for military working dogs. Before and during college I worked in boarding kennels and veterinary clinics. I made the decision to leave my zoo career and start my own company while still getting to do something I love-care for animals. My family and I have settled in the area I grew up to assist a community I know. I hope you will see the value in what J&M Critter Care has to offer your family.

I hope most of our clients enjoy the updates during vacation and drop-in visits. 😃. We enjoy them too. This wasn’t even a visit I did. A team member posted
“ We had a good visit! Leo showed me how he can hold 2 shoes in his mouth at once 🤣”
I had to click over to see the picture myself. Enjoy

When I left the house yesterday it was 10 degrees and that was cold. Today is worse 😳….-8 degrees is awful 🥶. All of our visits today will be quicker so we can get everyone tucked back inside. Thank you for understanding 😀

Remember the post about the outside cats trying to convince me they get to come inside? Here is another blooper. This boy is not supposed to be in that room behind the gate. He is supposed to be on my side. This is where I found him. Mom wasn’t sure how he did it and his partner in crime wouldn’t tell 🙃🤣

!!Hiring!! Let’s start with our part-time opening in Champaign/Urbana. This is a perfect job for a college student or possibly a stay at home parent with availability during the day. We have employees who are in college or who work a full- time job. We need about 10 hours or more a week but the schedule is flexible. Do you have a break in the middle of the day between classes or morning and some weekends open? Specifically, we are looking for animal care professionals who can work independently and have above average communication skills. Please share….We don’t want to post on a job search platform ☺️🙃

Do you want to spend time with this cutie?? We will be posting open positions soon. We are preparing to gear up for the summer and could use a few extra sitters right now in certain areas. Be on the lookout for the official description and locations or reach out to [email protected] to learn more more.

This pretty girl was all dressed up and ready to go play in the snow ❄️ if your kids are in travel sports and you need to be away you can set up drop-in visits while you are gone so your pup can get a break while you are gone.

This picture is way to serious looking for a boy who is a gigantic goofball 🤪 he has a very hard time containing his wiggly, bouncing self. But, he sure tries

A few pictures from some of the Christmas visits. We are starting to prepare for the snow storm. The changes are coming in quick. Some people are trying to leave town early and some are delaying when they are leaving. We always try to have contingency plans and make adjustments as needed. It’s a huge puzzle with lots of moving pieces. We always make it through with the amazing staff we have. 😀

I have a lot of phone calls to return tomorrow!! I tried to take a little time to try and wrap presents 🎁, go to the kids Christmas programs 🎶 , and just breath. I’m not sure I did a great job 🤣. I absolutely couldn’t keep all the pet sits going without my amazing team members. We don’t have an “office person”. All team members,including myself, do pet sits. It sometimes doesn’t leave much time to return the phone calls and answer the messages. Here is a picture of everything that makes this crazy schedule worth it to me. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!

What is going on here?!?! Pretty frequently peoples beloved pets turn into fibbers when their parents are away. Sometimes, it’s trying to get extra snacks or breaking furniture rules. In this case, it’s outside kitties trying very hard to convince us they are allowed inside. The more notes we have in your account, the better off we are in keeping everything straight 😆

14/12/2024

I think we have all the Christmas requests situated and will start approving requests beyond that soon. We have met some new friends over the last few weeks and some familiar favorites as well. It’s been a great year and we are looking forward to a great 2025. Do you know we already have requests in for Spring Break 2025 😃 we always appreciate being able to look ahead

09/12/2024

Tomorrow is our deadline for getting Christmas requests in!!!!! Please don’t wait

01/12/2024

This very vocal kitty would like to remind everyone that Christmas requests are due in by December 9th. Unfortunately, we did end up not accepting a few Thanksgiving requests because I wanted our staff to enjoy their Thanksgiving as well. Please get the requests in early.

28/11/2024

We hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!!

This girl is so excited it’s Wednesday!!! If we are honest, she is excited no matter what day or time of the day it is. All go……all the time 😁

Our Story

Why hire a pet sitter? A pet sitter can provide you peace of mind when you are on vacation and prove to be of tremendous help to a busy family or when if you find yourself unable to provide daily care for your pet during an illness. A pet sitter comes to your home and provides care for the animals in your home while you are unable too. Allowing your pets to stay in the comfort of their home can minimize stress to them during your absence. Some pets enjoy going to the kennel. However, there are many who do not. Allowing a pet sitter into your home also has the advantage of not needing to get the pets dropped off or arrange for a pick up upon your return.

Why hire J&M Critter Care? We have experience with a wide variety of animals. The business is fully insured to protect you, your home and us and operates as an LLC. Providing quality pet care is our full-time job and our goal is to have a qualified pet sitter available to you whenever the need arises. While providing exceptional animal care we will also be looking out for anything wrong with your property. If you need the mail brought in, plants watered, trash taken to the curb, or lighting adjusted there is no extra charge and your pet sitter will be happy to take care of it for you. Our goal is to be able to grow the business and be an asset and active part of the community we serve. In our first year alone we donated $750 back to the community in the form of sponsorship and money to adoption agencies and local animal rehabbers. I hope you can see and share in our vision. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about us and what we have to offer.
