Why Tempe families choose us
The trusted name in pet care
across Phoenix metro.
Founded in 2010 as Critter Caretakers in Mesa, the business was acquired by former Metropolitan Police Officers Tony and Liza Bacon in 2018 — starting with just 6 sitters. Since then, they’ve grown Scritches into one of Arizona’s most awarded pet care businesses, expanding coverage across the entire Phoenix metro area, all built on the same rigour and integrity that defined 45 years of combined law enforcement experience. Key landmarks we know well in Tempe: ASU’s Tempe campus, the Mill Avenue District, Tempe Town Lake, “A” Mountain, and ASU Gammage.
