Cat Sitting Amherst

“Roslyn was awesome! She took extra care with our cat giving her her medicine and extra attention every day we were away. She also did a meet & greet and our kitty took an immediate liking to her. The communication was excellent and we appreciated the pictures of our fur baby! I could not recommend her enough. Thank you, Roslyn!”

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old. I trained 2 Shitzus and 1 Chihuahua from puppies, and cared for them until they passed. I have skills in bathing, walking, grooming, feeding, and administering certain medications. I am very compassionate and will care for your pets like my own. I work full time, but I work a 10 minute walk away from my apartment, so if I am watching your pet at my home, or if you live near me, I can make afternoon visits for walks, feedings, or company. I leave my apartment around 10a and arrive back home around 6p on a normal day, but I can make afternoon visits as well and I can even work remotely some days. My schedule is very flexible, so I can make most things work as long as I know in advance. I have no pets in my apartment currently, but my apartment is pet-friendly. I do not own any crates or other items, so I would need to have those provided for me if boarding your pet. My apartment has doors to close in every room to keep your pet from wandering if need be, but I also keep my space very tidy and neat, so nothing unsafe is within reach anyways. I do not have a yard, but I live in a very walkable neighborhood with a lot of grassy spots for your pet to enjoy and utilize. I also have a fenced park nearby if they like to run around and play.

About: Animals have been part of my family for most of my life, and I’ve been helping care for them since I was 14, when we brought home a puppy. My experience spans puppyhood and kittenhood through the senior years. Today, I share my home with my two senior ladies: Gandalf, an 18-year-old cat and Leeloo, a 14-year-old pit mix. I adopted my dog from the SPCA when she was two, and she’s been a beloved member of our family for 12 years. My cat has been with me since birth after I adopted her mother while she was pregnant. Living with two senior pets has taught me to pay attention to their individual needs and appreciate the comfort of familiar routines. My cat especially needs dedicated time for petting and brushing when we’re away. Companionship matters just as much as a full food bowl. I’ll bring that same patience and attention to your pets, following their routines and taking time to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re gone. I’m a parent of three and am available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., while my kids are at school. I offer drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, playtime, and companionship, as well as dog walks. I’ll work with you to find a visit time that fits your pet’s routine. I care for pets in their own homes, where they can enjoy familiar surroundings and routines. Before our first visit, I’ll learn about your pet’s needs, personality, and any feeding or walking instructions. I’ll be careful with doors and locks, keep dogs leashed on walks, and respect your home. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, brushing, or quiet company, I’ll give them patient attention and send photos and updates along the way.

“Jackie was AMAZING in taking care of my cat. I have a hard time on trips because I am always thinking of my poor kitty at home, alone. But Jackie was patient, loving and kind with her- quickly gaining her trust to the point every photo she sent was my cat was curled up in her lap! I couldn’t have imagined anyone better to care for my kitty 💕”

About: All 3 of my animals I've owned throughout my life have lived full, happy lives. They also, however, required close supervision. Both cats were outdoor cats which required consistent grooming, tick repellant, and even medicine administration for when they ate something they shouldn't have, or developed infections (administering pills to a cat is a skill I'm proud to put on my resume.) My dog Connor developed an autoimmune disease, and required prednisone administration daily. He was also a very reactive dog to other dogs, so those behaviors I am very well-versed in handling. The same can be said for my partner's family's two dogs (black lab mix and white Dogo Argentino), and my sister's pug mix. Dogs are reactive for a reason and I do not judge them for it, I'm happy to accommodate their predispositions. I work completely remote (and to be truthful it's a pretty chill job day to day) so I'd consider myself the best option as someone who has a full time job outside of Rover! Plus, I love the company of pet sitting during the week. I'm of the belief that cats and dogs belong on the couch and the bed, so in my home they are allowed wherever they please. That being said, if you have more strict rules for your animals either inside my home or yours, I completely understand and have no problem carrying out your wishes (obviously.) My care style is attentive. I know that's another obvious answer, but I've always loved interacting with animals, playing with them, etc. It makes me happy.

About: I do not have a pet on my own due to my frequent travel schedule but that only means that your pet will get that extra love I have to share. I am caring and attentive, I notice the little things—each pet’s quirks, moods, and routines—and respond with patience. Your little or big friend will not get bored while in my care. I am a drafter working for an architectural company in Cheektowaga, my schedule is 8-5 every weekday. I love long walks after work in the evening, so don’t hesitate to shoot me a message even if the walk is needed within an hour! I will do my best to comfort your pet while you are away, I can play and train them, go on long walks, also if needed I can take a dog to a dog park or to vet appontments.

About: I have a degree in animal behavior from Canisius College with a major focus being animal care/husbandry and welfare. I have had pet dogs both big and small since I was 7 years old and have been helping to watch neighbors’ and family members’ dogs since I was 13. I will use this extensive experience caring for and walking dogs as well as my uniquely relevant educational background to ensure your pets are well taken care of, happy, and healthy! My schedule is currently variable however excepting any major changes I am mainly available for drop in visits and walks on most days from mid-day to late-evenings and occasional overnights. I have a fenced in backyard in a quiet suburban community. We have a cat who is friendly with other animals and people. With a background in animal behavior I am well versed in safe, proper care in addition to best practices in regards to animal welfare and am excellent at reading animals’ body language for signs of distress which I can use to make sure your dogs feel safe and comfortable.

About: I’m a pet owner myself and know how important our fur babies are to us! I currently have some time in my schedule that allows me to help others out with their babies as well! I have most mornings and evenings open. Allowing me to do drop in visits. Whether you’re out of town and want someone to check in or need daily drop ins to make sure the babies are good, I can be there! I care for pets in clients homes and communicate with them on their needs for each pet. Im comfortable distributing medication, handling dietary restrictions, waste removal, and much more!

About: I love furry pets of all shapes and sizes! I grew up with cats, a guinea pig, and a rabbit. Since moving out on my own, and learning my husband has cat allergies, we have owned dogs. We have two of our own, and I am thankful that my friends and family feel like they can count on me with their dogs of all ages. Recently, I have been working with a family member’s new puppy, and checking in on some neighbors senior dogs. I know dogs decide who they jive with, and I will never force it. I am returning to school as a full-time student right now, but most of my classes are online this semester. I am looking for work that can work around me right now. My weekdays are largely open, with classes after 3pm on MWF. You can expect me to only take on pet care that I can truly dedicate my time to. Since I am offering drop-ins and walks, you can expect me to follow your rules and wishes in your home. I promise to leave your space better than you left it, making sure to care for your pet and cleaning up after any messes made while we are together.

“Five stars for Alyssa! We recently traveled for a week and entrusted our cat, Tilly, to Alyssa, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We left a very detailed list of instructions, and Alyssa followed every one of them to the letter. She was punctual for every morning and evening visit, and we never had to wonder whether Tilly was okay. Alyssa checked in regularly with updates and wonderful photos that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Tilly loves spending time outdoors in her harness and leash, and that’s not something every sitter would be comfortable with. Alyssa happily accommodated this routine, and knowing Tilly was getting her usual outdoor time made us feel so much more at ease. It’s clear Alyssa is attentive and takes the time to care for a pet’s individual needs and personality. As a cat owner herself, Alyssa understands cats in a way that really shows. Tilly bonded with her quickly, and the photos she sent showed a happy, comfortable cat. Coming home to a content pet and a sitter who treated her like family was a huge relief. We can’t recommend Alyssa highly enough and will absolutely be booking her again. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter for your cat, look no further!”

About: I pay close attention to pets as I do children, treating each with love, respect, compassion, and empathy. Sometimes no words are needed, just a scratch under the chin, chest, head, or ears! Other times, fuzzy friends need to be told what a great gift from God they truly are. I love being sensitive to each creature's individual needs, and cherish the special bonds formed while owners entrust me with their forever family friends. Sometimes that means going the extra mile (literally) if furry friends feel like going for a jog, hike, or swim! Thunderstorms can be the worst for some, soft spoken words, songs, and snuggles are my specialty. If a kennel is preferred I’m in full agreeance. I have been animal/house sitting for over a decade and am grateful for each opportunity given to help and serve. I am a stay at home mom with two kids and two fur babies. On weekends, my husband, kiddos (fur babes included), and I spend time in the outdoors, hiking, picnics, walks etc. Our pets and those that we watch are considered family members, therefore have our constant attention, love, and affection! We have an adequate fenced in backyard space for pups to play and enjoy frequent visits to the park. With drop in, checking food and water are on the list along with potty outside, playing ball (or throwing stuffies/ frisbee 🥏) and rubs.

“Kendra noticed that Bojo was nibbling on one of my plants. Probably was the reason for the throw ups. The cats enjoyed having a human spending the night with them and getting some love and attention from Kendra. She did a great job with them and I will have her come back when I travel again.”

About: Hi! I’m Emma, and I absolutely love animals! 🐾 I’m a proud pet mom to a husky mix, a cat, and a bearded dragon, and I truly believe pets are part of the family. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, reptiles, and hamsters. I also worked at a doggy daycare in college and have experience with dog walks and drop-in visits. I love taking long walks, teaching dogs new tricks, and, of course, giving lots of cuddles! Whether your pet needs a long walk, some playtime, a little extra attention, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll treat your pets like I treat my own—with lots of patience, attention, and love! ❤️ My schedule is very flexible, especially during the summer! I’m freely available for most of August, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. Once the school year begins, I’m available for pet care before work on weekdays until 7 AM and after work starting around 4 PM. I’m also available throughout weekends, school holidays, and breaks. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and do my best to accommodate your schedule! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs and will follow your care instructions carefully. I’m attentive to details and will always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety measures are secure. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and energy levels, and I’ll never force interaction if your pet needs space or time to warm up. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want from someone caring for my own animals. ❤️🐾

“Very happy that I have found someone who will housesit with my cats. They do not like to be left alone at night. I am comfortable leaving my cats in the care of Dawn.”

“I felt very comfortable having Amanda dog/cat sit at my house. I could tell from the pictures she sent that my dogs were having so much fun! I plan on booking her again for my next trip.”

About: I have a senior dog of my own who I’ve had for about 5 years! I am have trained her in basic obedience, and I often take her out on trails with me for walks. Since she’s old, she occasionally has accidents, so I’m good at cleaning up messes! My ride has work from 2PM-9PM on weekdays, so ideally would have to do things before 12PM. On weekends I’m available whenever except for Sunday, we have church from 9AM-12PM but after that I am free. I can easily crate your dog for you if needed! I can make sure they’re fed, watered, and the place is clean. If they need a bath I am able to do that.

“Audrey did a tremendous job of taking care of Lady!”

About: I have had a variety of fishes and turtles that have survive for very long time 10+ and have had the best care possible. I have had dogs when I was a kid and have friends and family who have dogs and other lovable 4 legged animals I am home from college for the summer and am looking to make some extra cash. As well as gaining experience for getting my own pet soon I will play with the dog/cat and give it all the attention it will need as I am a huge animal lover and want one of my own very soon

About: I care genuinely for all pets. I have a great deal of experience in my own home or yours. Love and safety are my specialty. I have a full time job. Sometimes I am gone for 8 total hours but most of the time I can come home for lunch mid day and drop in visits as I work for myself and am always in the area. I have a fenced and gated yard. Your dog has the ability to come and go into the yard at all times while I’m home. My gate also locks and if you’re comfortable after seeing my yard setup I can also lock the gate and let your dog go in and out of my house throughout the day while I’m gone too.
