Services
Newark, Hockessin, Greenville, Wilmington, Bear and New Castle, DE - Landenberg, Avondale and Kennett Square, PA and parts of Elkton, MD. Content Critter is a professional pet care company that has been family owned and operated since 2008. We provide care for pets every day of the year, including holidays and have never canceled a client's service booking.
Content Critter is not just the name of our company. It is our primary focus and goal to make sure your pets are content when you have to be away from them for work or vacation. Our trademarked slogan says it all. Many years ago, I decided I was tired of working in the corporate world. I have always had an extreme love for animals of all kinds and this love for animals made a pet sitting company the perfect choice for a career change. My years of experience as an executive secretary gave me the people and organizational skills that would be needed as the business grew.
All visits include lots of love, play, attention, hugs and cuddles! All visits include bringing in mail and papers, putting trash out or bringing trash cans back in, and rotation of lights to give your home that lived-in look. Administration of medications are included in all visits, if needed. We offer discounts for multiple pets in the same household.
Content Critter is looking for motivated, detail oriented, pet loving individuals for part-time dog walking and pet sitting assignments. If you love being outdoors and walking then this could be the perfect opportunity. We provide service in and around Pike Creek, Hockessin, Greenville, Newark and Bear, DE.
We had begun using Content Critter after receiving a recommendation from another family member. Content has been wonderful! These folks are very professional and it is clear that they really understand and care for our cats even though 2 of them require meds. I would highly recommend Content Critter Pet Sitters to anyone who loves their dogs like they are our children.

My partner and I went away for a week and had visits for our 2 cats. I struggle to relax away from home because I'm a worrier, but Content Critter was great. We came home to two extremely satisfied cats. I can tell they had been talked to and played with because they didn't seem starved for attention, and they didn't even seem that excited to see me upon my return. (typical cats) I'm sad to be moving outside of their service area!

I have been using Content Critter for several years to walk and feed if necessary my enthusiastic, sometimes dog-reactive, 50 Lb labradoodle. They are wonderful with Stella and completely trustworthy. I highly recommend their services.

Content Critter is fabulous! They are so good with the pets in their care - special treats and long walks in the nature preserve. My dogs loved it there - the only place they would run into when we dropped them off!

After using different daycare services, my dog Kenzi and I am most pleased with 'Content Critters'. The personal love and attention that Jedd & Claudia give to all their pets is most gratifying and heartwarming! Also their service for pick up and drop-offs is an extra bonus.

Can't say how much we appreciate the Content Critters team! They take great care of our kitties and we are always pleasantly surprised when we receive pictures of our illusive Harry socializing with the sitter and Charlotte being her usual ornery self. We highly recommend their services!

Content Critter has been the best thing I've done for peace of mind while I am away from my two cats. The sitters are reliable and go above and beyond, not only spending time playing with the girls, but sweeping up the litter area and cleaning the floor so that I come home to content cats as well as a clean living area. I appreciate the service that Content Critter and Claudia provides and encourage anyone considering it to go ahead and take the plunge.

The online scheduling is amazing and convenient as well! It is WELL worth it and I can't express just how grateful I am to have this service. Thank you Claudia, and all of your sitters, for the phenomenal jobs you do taking care of our furry loved ones! Kit & Bagel are your biggest fans!

Our two dogs adore Claudia. We can rest easy when it comes to their care when we schedule even with our one dog having medical issues. 10/10 would recommend!

Claudia os amazing with my two dogs and they are big dogs 110lbs and 44lbs. She's very organized and follows up as well, will take last minute calls to go and walk MJ & Cupid. Not sure how we lucked out.

Wonderful loving care of our adopted shelter dog who has issues from past abuse. Like a second home for her. Highly recommended!

Jed and Claudia went over and above what was expected when taking care of my Bailey overnight. They even called to reassure me he was comfortable and adjusting to being away. I will always be grateful for their loving care.

I definitely recommend Content Critter. I needed someone to look in on my girl after her grandmother had a stroke, my girl has been depressed. I feel completely confident and at ease that I know Content Critter is looking after my girl.

We have used Content Critter for a number of years now to care for our cats. Content Critter are reliable and extremely professional. They care for our cats as if they were their own and they are very easy to schedule services via their web site. We feel very much at ease when we go away knowing our pets will be cared for by the good people at Content Critter.

I am so happy we found a dependable kind pet sitter for our menagerie of animals. I applaud and respect you, because you run an amazing business. That website and how you to set up scheduling is great, how the payment is sent up is convenient, the letters that were sent in the beginning with the magnets and stickers were all just on point. Your business model and how you execute is flawless. You run a great business, woman. Well done!

Content Critter treated our pup with TLC above and beyond expectations. They understand how a pet is a beloved family member. I was so nervous about leaving our 5 year old "pup" for a week as she has never been boarded, but I needn't have worried! She clearly received ample love and affection. What a wonderful service!

This was our first time using a pet sitter. Content Critter and Claudia took great care of our kitty and lizard while we were away. Everything was wonderful---Claudia was so professional and we felt completely confident leaving our pets in her care. Highly recommend!

We had begun using Content Critter after receiving a recommendation from another family member. Content has been wonderful! Our caregiver Amanda is top notch. We have our home equipped with cameras which notify us automatically when anyone moves. Amanda was always on time. stayed as stated. and the few times that we checked the cameras when we were alerted by movement, we could see Amanda playing with our pets and providing awesome service.

When our one dog began exhibiting symptoms of Anxiety, Content Critter modified the schedule and our caregiver provided us with a pet pajama party and spent the night with our pets. I was so grateful! I highly recommend this service. and have already enlisted Content Critters for a future caregiving commitment. Thank you Claudia, Amanda and Content Critter!

I would highly recommend Content Critter Pet Sitters to anyone who loves their dogs like they are our children. Claudia, her husband and son are some of the nicest and most conscientious people I've ever met; they took excellent care of my dog. Will definitely call them again!

I do not have biological children, but my pets are basically my most prized treasures to me and leaving them is supremely stressful. Claudia Todd and her son made sincere, from the heart, efforts to look after my "kids" when I needed to go out of town. I returned to find them well fed, relaxed and in cleaned habitats as I left them. Content Critter ives up to its name because yours will be exactly that: content!

This business is trust worthy, honest, reliable, professional, and above all, KIND. Claudia loves animals and you will see her care reflect in your pets when you get back. Thank you for caring for all five of the crew, Claudia! Quilliam says, "Happy 2021!"

I never used this business however, while driving my newborn to her first doctors appointment at Christiana hospital today, a woman driving a green Kia with temp tags & a Content Critter pet sign on her car was riding my ass down route 4. She was cutting people off, speeding and driving carelessly. Idk if this is the owner or what but you probably should drive like a complete dick with your company logo on your car.

I drive a large pickup truck and normally I would have brake checked someone riding so aggressively close to me but with a 2 week baby in the vehicle I wasn't going to do it. Had a break checked her, 110% would have rammed into the back of me. Saw another vehicle flip her off as well. Simply can't believe the reckless driving. If you're such an ass on the road how do you treat people's animals?

Claudia and her team take such great care of my dog, Carter. They leave notes daily when they visit and are such an important part of Carter being happy! I can't say enough good things about them. Highly recommend!

Claudia and her staff have been amazing in taking care of our labs Bentley and Barley! They have been very helpful with my chaotic work schedule as my wife and I transitioned to a new state with one and then a second puppy. The scheduling system is very simple and prices are fair. Anytime there has been a communication issue, she has called to talk it over personally. I would recommend Content Critter to anyone in the area!

Couldn't be happier with Claudia and content critter! She went out of her way to bring our puppy to our wedding venue so we could have him in our pictures! She fed him, walked him, played with him and transported him to and from. It made our day stress free and exactly what we wanted. I also loved that she came and met our puppy on her own time a week before so he would be comfortable with her! We will definelty use content critter again!

I do not use there services much because I do not go away very often, however when I have needed them they have been very accommodating even when working out a last minute visit during peak season. I always feel like my little pup is well taken care of by a trust worthy person. I'm so happy I found out about their pet care services!

Excellent, professional yet personal service from everyone at Content Critters. I feel like I'm leaving my dog with a family member when I need pet sitting. Sadie gets excited and wags her tail when the pup mobile comes to pick her up. She knows it's "gonna be a fun weekend"

I have to say I now know why it is called The Content Critter. My dog Argyle was more content then I have ever seen him. What a pleasure to come home to. Thanks for a great service!
