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?
(27)

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.

A few more vacation care and drop-in visits finished up. Let’s start getting those holiday requests in. 🙃. It will be here before we know it

15/08/2024

I just looked at pending requests and saw we have several new ones for Labor Day weekend. It seems like a good time to send a reminder to get those requests in. It’s also never to early to get the Thanksgiving and Christmas requests in. Baby bunnies just because they are cute

15/08/2024

We are still sorting through the mid-day walks/break to see what else we might have time for. Travel time, staffing levels, and being able to accommodate vacation care are all things we have to consider. Wapella, Clinton, Weldon, DeWitt and Lane area, we know we have 1 spot open in September. Reach out to learn more

02/08/2024

Give your pups time to smell the flowers while you’re at work. 😀 🌺 💐 We have openings for our mid-day walk/break program in
Clinton+Wapella (DeWitt, Lane, Weldon)
Mahomet+White Heath
Champaign/Urbana
Monticello we are full at the moment but will take your info if we have an opening.

30/07/2024

Monday usually means we finished up a few more vacation care visits, this Monday was no different. We have a few more that will continue for another week. It’s only possible because we have a team of qualified pet sitters who can rotate in and all stay connected with you and each other. Do you want cute pictures while you’re away? Or know that your pet sitter has qualified back- up if they are sick or have car trouble? The app that we use allows the whole team and you to stay connected. Do you want to learn more?? Message today to setup your free meet and greet

28/07/2024

We are in the middle of a busy weekend. I know we have a few more busy weeks as vacation care will start winding down some and our mid-day walks will start picking back up as school starts again. Did you get a new pup over the summer? Reach out so we can stop in and give them a walk while you’re at work.

25/07/2024

Super dogs!!. That’s it. They are just cute ☺️

17/07/2024

The pictures on the left were on Monday. They were so calm quiet and relaxed for their 30 min midday break 😀. The pictures on the right were today. They were back to normal playing tug of war and wrestling 🤣. These pups are only on the schedule when their human goes into the office. We are happy to step in when we can.

08/07/2024

It’s been a long weekend of vacation care that will wrap up today. With the last major holiday behind us, we will start looking forward to filling in the few spots we have open for our midday walk program. This is a walk/break for your dog Monday thru Friday (you pick how many times a week) we have 2 time slots. Between 10-1 or 1-3. This set up on a monthly schedule and offers a savings over our normal drop-in rate. Interesting in learning more??? Reach out before the spots are full

07/07/2024

Where are these pictures from??? My own barn ☺️. I was lucky enough to get away for a few days, and of course, I trust our employees with my own critters. It’s one of the larger visits we do. Our little farm currently consists of 5 goats (not all housed together), 2 trouble making pigs, 10 rabbits, chicks, show chickens, free range chickens, and one crazy dog. Do you have your own small farm? Send a message to see how we can help.

Remember a few posts ago when I said some dogs are unfazed by the heat?!? Not this boy 🤣🥴 He absolutely hates it. Luckily, he loves snacks, so a little bit of bribery and we could quickly get to the shady parts and hangout. These pictures are all of him protesting, I promise he enjoyed himself too ☺️

25/06/2024

Have you ever found yourself needing a pet or livestock sitter?? Maybe you ask family, or you have one, but they are going away to school or are busy themselves? J&M Critter Care is different than hiring an individual or relying on a family member. Hiring J&M Critter Care gives you the advantage of hiring a team of qualified pet sitters. If someone is sick, has vehicle problems, etc., we have back-up. It's not up to you to scramble. We are also fully insured protecting you, your home, pets and us. We offer vacation care, drop-in visits, and a mid-day walk program. Send a message today to set up your free meet and greet.

23/06/2024

Tongues out. It’s hot 🥵. We have moved some visits to earlier in the day and we try and stay in the shade. Some dogs are pretty unfazed and we just do the best we can to monitor them and give them some extra time to cool off before we leave. Don’t delay if you need vacation care for July. The schedule is already filling in

07/06/2024

Sometimes the pictures for the updates just work out 😀. We utilize software that allows for you to get updates after every visit. It also allows everyone involved in your pets care to communicate together. You can schedule your visits, pay your bill, update your pet info etc.

01/06/2024

It’s a rainy start to our Saturday. Some of the animals like it more than others. With the Memorial Day trips wrapping up, we will again be scheduling meet and greets next week. It can take a few weeks to get those scheduled so don’t delay. If you are thinking you need help with your pets, livestock or just house sitting for the 4th of July time frame, send us a message. If you’re already a client just go to Time to Pet and make your request.

28/05/2024

It has definitely been too long since we have posted. We have been busy trying to get our free meet and greets set up and making sure we have enough qualified staff ready for a busy summer. With Memorial Day wrapping up we are looking forward to the 4th of July. If you don't have requests in yet, please do. If you have your request in and it hasn't been approved yet, we will get to it soon. We are looking forward to a busy summer

01/05/2024

We have been busy with pet sits and hiring for summer. I’m so excited to start training some new employees who will pitch in and help us be able to to keep providing professional animal care to the families and pets who rely on J&M Critter Care.

11/04/2024

We finished up some eclipse vacation visits earlier this week. I think Spring is finally here 😀💐🪻. Let’s start getting those vacation requests in for the summer

11/04/2024

It’s egg time again!! Who needs some?

09/04/2024

We are still looking for some help in Champaign. Daytime availability and some evening and weekends. This can be a perfect summer job that a college student can keep when school starts 😀 I know the right person is out there. Share this and help us find the right fit!!

25/03/2024

We have about 4 dozen eggs unspoken for this week to start. Who needs eggs delivered to your door. $5.00 dozen and $7.00 for 18.

15/03/2024

J&M Critter Care is preparing for our 5th summer in business!! We are so excited to be able to offer a professional pet sitting service to the Clinton, Monticello, Mahomet, and Champaign/Urbana areas. Interested in learning more?? Call (217) 891-2149, [email protected], or send a message on Facebook.

08/03/2024

It's that time of year again where we will be reaching out to see if we can put up our yard signs again. The best way to help a small business is to help us advertise. Telling a neighbor, a friend, co-workers, or the parents on your travel ball or dance team, all help tremendously. If you happen to work in an office environment, we have brochures we would be happy to get into your hands too.

08/03/2024

Eggs Eggs Eggs!! We had a pretty steady supply of eggs until the really cold weather hit. Then the girls decided they needed a break. But we are back in full swing and taking orders. If you are already a client we can arrange, drop off. They are well cared for chickens. But, they do have to deal with a little boy sometimes. 🥰

02/03/2024

Just a few of the handsome boys we have seen lately. In full disclosure, the last picture of the baby goat isn’t a pet sit. It’s our own little boer goat. So, exciting. 😀

26/02/2024

This is my own crazy dog. You really don’t have to worry about how your pup behaves during a meet and greet 😂🤷‍♀️(unless they have aggressive tendencies, please let us know that in advance😊)

Even piggies 🐷 need a version of a slow feeder every once in awhile 😀. They may not think so though 🤔

This was the first time I have ever seen him chase his tail. I feel the same way more often then I like to admit 🤪

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.
