About Us

We are Deb & Scott Burtle, the co-owners of Critter Sitters of Lincoln. We have been happily married for 11 years and love the business of pet sitting. Both of us spent our childhood in rural Nebraska. We came to the eastern side of the state to start this business. I attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and received my bachelors degree, and hope to finish my masters there someday. I have 4 years of pet-sitting experience. I've experienced many different pets that have had varying degrees of needs and wants. My staff and I are more than happy to provide everything within the normal routine of your pet, as long as spoiling them is part of it.

We have three pets in our household. They are all so precious to us. We spend a lot of time with them, talking and playing with them as well as some well deserved TLC. We really can't imagine life without them. Yes, we are passionate about animals. We know not everyone is as eccentric about them as we are, but being in the pet care business, it is vital to feel this way towards all animals.  Rest assured, that this same compassion and care will be given to your pet(s) as well.

Our Dogs

We have a Pomeranian named Cinnamon. She is about the best investment we've ever made. When we got her we really couldn't afford it. But Scott always wanted a Pomeranian and he just couldn't resist her smile. Yes, she really does have a smile! Cinnamon was born with an under bite so she always looks like she is smiling at you. The funny thing is that her personality matches that smile perfectly. She is sable in color and has the biggest brown puppy eyes that are perfect for begging for treats. Her favorite snack is chips or popcorn. She has supersonic hearing for those items, there is no hiding them when she's around.

The newest addition to our pet family is our Shih-Tza Poo, Sugar.  Just when our other pets thought they'd start settling into their elder years, here came this ball of terror.  She keeps everyone on their toes and is full of vim and vigor.  Play-time is her middle name.  She has helped our cat lose some weight and kept Cinnamon from starting to sleep all day.  Needless to say, she keeps us entertained and occupied almost all of the time.  In one of the pictures below you can see a little bit of her best friend, Buster Brown, who comes to visit now and then.  They have a GREAT time together!  Sugar has learned that popcorn is pretty darn good and she gets excited as soon as she hears the first one pop.

Our Cat

We also have a cat named Zima. She is a tabby cat that, again, Scott just had to have. He found her at a farm that had a litter of kitties to give away free. He brought her home and we played and played, but noticed she scratched a lot. She was adorable, but was infested with fleas. About $100 or so later we had a free cat. Now she is about the fattest cat you've ever seen, and she snores when she sleeps! But she is still the most adorable thing, and is the best partner to curl up with if your feet are cold. She's like a portable radiator. We love them both so very much and hope we get a chance to be introduced to your loved ones too. Her favorite food, like most cats is anything dairy or tuna. You can barely open a can of tuna before she nearly goes crazy trying to let you know that she would LOVE to have a taste too.  Of course, she thinks ANY can that you crack open is tuna and she gets pretty worked up until you physically show her otherwise.
