Cat Sitting Amherst

“This sitter was great! She was there every scheduled sitting to take care of and feed our kitties. She did great with our grouchy old cat who doesn't like anyone. That should say something. I hope they will work with us again in the future when we need to go somewhere. It's great knowing you can count on someone to be there for your fur-babies.”

“Sarah is amazingly kind and caring with Crichton and me. Crichton is always happy she is around, when I’m away. Thank you, Sarah…and sorry about the hairballs! 😸”

“I'm so glad I found Annette! It was my first time leaving my kitty alone at home and I was nervous especially since the little guy had an ear infection but she went above and beyond to take care of him and also administer his ear drops. She is very down to earth & easy to talk to and I felt comfortable working with her. Finding someone you trust to take care of your fur kiddo is such a personal & delicate thing and she's very thoughtful- I would definitely go back to her next time!”

About: Hi there, I’m Sarah! Thank you for stopping by my profile! I’m a proud U.S. Navy veteran who separated from the military in 2017. Growing up in a military family, I had the opportunity to live in 25 different states and 6 countries, which gave me a deep appreciation for people, cultures, and the incredible diversity of animals around the world. Those experiences helped shape my adaptable, compassionate personality and my love for caring for both people and animals. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for everything from dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, rabbits, small birds, reptiles, chickens, goats to helping family members care for horses, cows, and other farm animals. Whether your pet has paws, feathers, or scales, I’m comfortable providing patient, attentive care tailored to their individual personality and needs. I currently have an older service dog named Basil and a senior cat named Dhara, so I understand firsthand how important it is to provide gentle care, consistency, and a calm environment—especially for older pets. If your pet stays with me, they’ll be welcomed into a peaceful home where they’ll receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision. One of the experiences I’m most proud of was spending two years training my service dog, Basil, through the ARF Pets for Vets program in Walnut Creek, California. That experience taught me a tremendous amount about canine behavior, positive reinforcement, communication, and building trust. It also strengthened my belief that every animal communicates in their own unique way, and I take the time to understand their body language so they feel safe, respected, and comfortable. Outside of pet care, I’m a freelance product designer and entrepreneur who enjoys creating new products, designing 3D models, and bringing ideas to life. I also love cooking, baking, traveling, exploring new places, and discovering local restaurants—I’m even an Elite Yelp reviewer, so you could say I enjoy finding the best hidden gems wherever I go! When caring for your pet, my goal is to make them feel like they’re part of the family. I know how difficult it can be to leave a beloved pet behind, so I strive to provide the same level of care, patience, and affection that I’d want for my own animals. What you can expect from me: • Personalized care based on your pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. • Experience caring for a wide variety of companion and farm animals. • Daily photo, video, and text updates so you always know how your pet is doing. • A meet-and-greet before booking to make sure we’re a great fit. • Basic training guidance and positive reinforcement tips when appropriate. • A clean, calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet’s health, comfort, and happiness always come first. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I truly appreciate that trust. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered or scaly!) family members and providing them with the same love and care I’d give my own. I work full-time Monday through Friday with every other Friday off. From 6 AM to 3 PM, but I can accommodate meet and greets throughout the week, including drop in visits on my lunch break. If I’m staying at a client’s home, I can easily plan my schedule around your pet’s needs, ensuring they receive consistent care and attention. I’m most available for extended services Friday through Sunday, so we can coordinate a schedule that works best to keep your furry, feathered, or scaly friend happy and comfortable. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In my home or a client’s home, I ensure the space is pet-proofed and free of hazards. I follow each pet’s routine to make them feel at ease, respecting their space and preferences. For new pets, I take the time to build trust through positive interactions and gentle introductions. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, safe space with designated areas for eating, sleeping, and play. I supervise all interactions, especially with other animals, to ensure everyone's safety. I also maintain cleanliness, making sure litter boxes are scooped daily (or more frequently depending on the pet), food and water bowls are clean, and any medication needs are carefully followed. When staying in a client’s home, I respect their environment by keeping their pet’s routine consistent, and I ensure they have a safe, familiar space. I communicate regularly with pet owners to update them on their pet’s well-being and to address any concerns. My goal is to provide the same level of care, attention, and comfort in your home as I would in mine.

“Very happy with her. Will definitely use her again.”

About: I am a veterinary technician. I have 20 years of medical experience caring for pets. I have been pet sitting privately for 15 years.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and small dogs my whole life. Right now I have two boy cats from an animal farm in Puerto Rico. Our favorite activities are cuddling and taking walks with the cat stroller. I have had some experience dog sitting small and medium sized dogs for family and friends for days to a week at a time. I love animals and I will treat your pet like my own. I have a flexible schedule currently; let’s work something out! I’m currently working part-time, so I have an abundance of time to spend caring for and playing with your pet(s). I generally work Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. I currently do not offer boarding in my own house. My housemate has a shy and anxious, but very adorable, cat who does not get along with my two kitties and we need all the space we can get for their comfort. Thank you for understanding.

“I highly recommend Dominica! I was happy we were able to do a meet and greet first, so the dogs could get to know her. Her visit went great, I'm very appreciative of her services!”

I know how to groom, bathe and clip nails, I know how to train aswell when it comes to both cats and dogs, knowing i’ve pet sat for family and friends since i was young it grew on me for training them! I can trick, potty, behavior train too! I take care of my own pets everyday! i find it relaxing and enjoyable, it brings me great joy to spend time with animals and gives me a sense of purpose! I love to make sure everything is clean and tidy, dishes are clean as well as the animals, making sure they have what they need and have quality enrichment time.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for the past 20 years, as I am relocating to Stevens point I am looking for new ways to stay busy 😊 Currently relocating to Stevens pointe and will always make the time to fit your pet into my schedule. Keeping myself busy while caring for animals is important 😊 My dogs/cats get all the love and attention they can possibly get. My dog billy passed away from cancer, my wife and i put him through chemotherapy to give him a chance at life. He fought for 2 years, and passed at the age of 5.

I’m home always to be with them and adore and enjoy them!! 🩷

About: I had my first pet sitting experience when I was 13 years old, not including the family pet. I have cared for animals of all shapes and sizes since then. I love working with animals and learning about their personalities. I am okay with reactive animals and have worked with different ones. I am willing to work with your animal's needs in any way, including medication and certain training exercises that you request. I do not work a job at this time, but I fill my time with odd jobs for others while I wait for college to start back up in the fall! I like to stay busy and do anything from pet care, to shopping for others, to day care for family members! With that being said, my schedule is pretty flexible, especially with advanced notice! I will follow any instructions given and am always ready to make sure your pet is happy and well taken care of. I will do whatever your pet needs to stay happy and healthy.
