    "We tried for over a year to heal the cut on Kodi’s foot. Nothing worked until we saw Dr. Venard, and he recommended acupuncture. It took 4 appointments in 4 weeks, and Kodi’s foot was completely healed. It was amazing! I would recommend this treatment for your pet."

    - Jennifer Faison

    "We have boarded our 2 labs at Critter Sitters for the past 8 summers and have been extremely pleased with the care and attention they have received. Jamee and her staff do an excellent job making sure that your pets are well taken care of. We appreciate the job Jody does in the grooming of our labs. My wife and I are really appreciative of the care that our labs receive at Critter Sitters."
