Cat Sitting Burton

About: Gigi loves all the babies! I’m a cat & dog mom and Gigi to 3 grandkitties who live right next door. Would love to spend time with your little (or big) sweetheart too. Confident with dogs of all sizes including reactive dogs, meds administration for dogs and cats, and am available for overnight care. I’m currently working from home and make my own hours so can easily work around your schedule. I’m available for drop-in’s, walks, and overnight care. I have a calm energy most animals welcome and I’m usually able to gain their trust early. Having raised 2 dogs and several cats through medical conditions and several moves, I’ve become very attuned to their body language which helps me to understand their needs and wants.

About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and small animals my whole life. I’ve even fostered with rescues in the past. I recently lost my own dog and thought maybe I could cuddle someone else’s while they travel. I work from home and have a fully fenced yard which your pet would have access to at any time they like! I work from home for the Dept of Veterans Affairs and usually have the back door open for access to the fenced yard throughout the day. Outside of errands, I am typically home with them. I have a fenced yard with plenty of access for the pets. When they’re here, they’re family so if they want in the sofa: great! Sleep in bed: even better! Or if they prefer the safety of their crate, that’s good too. I want them to feel comfortable. Unless they’re from the same household, I prefer to keep one dog at a time to make sure they get undivided attention. But, if they’re social and like to play, I live super close to the dog park! If you just want drop-in visits or walks, just let me know how I can best accommodate and I’ll be happy to work something out to suit your needs.

“Jenny was fantastic! You can tell she genuinely loves caring for animals. Her comments and photos brought a smile to my face knowing my pup was well tended to! Thank you for your glowing energy, Jenny!”

“Jayne was very good with my senior gal doodlebug. She was on time and spent a lot of valuable time with my pup. She gave her food and treats and lots of love! Highly recommend Jayne for your pets needs as she’s very professional and kind to pets.”

Cody S.

“This is my second time booking with her, and she’s been amazing both times! She always lets me know when she’s on her way, sends daily updates with lots of pictures, and takes such great care of my cats. Being away from them is so much less stressful knowing they’re in such good hands. She’s incredibly kind, reliable, and communicative, and I always come home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter—I will definitely be booking with her again!”

Taylor R.

“Lisa was absolutely wonderful and Gary loved having her over! She took excellent care of Gary, quick response on messages with plenty of adorable photos of Gary as well as showing me how much he's eaten (very important knowledge for me since Gary is a senior cat that eats special kidney diet food) and it made me feel so relieved to see that Gary was being well cared for in my absence! Thank so much Lisa! ?”

Sam G.

“Loreley stepped on last minute and did a great job. She gave great communication on our pets and was awesome.”

Tim M.

“Julie did a fantastic job caring for my two cats. One of them can be quite aggressive so I’m always anxious when I need to find a new sitter. Julie set my mind at ease from the beginning and went above and beyond to take great care of both of cats, sending me updates and photos each day. Highly recommend. Thank you, Julie!”

Karen G.

“Cameryn did a great job taking care of my cat Beau! She went above and beyond giving him treats and cleaning out his litter box, as well as cleaning up any accidents that occurred. I never had to worry about the cat when she was watching him. She sent me pictures of him every day and always sent me updates on how he was doing. 10/10 communication skills! I would definitely recommend you choosing her to watch after your pets!”

Abigail M.

“Sydney was so amazing with our cats! She made sure that they were well taken care of and got lots of love. We can't thank her enough for how well she took care of our cats!”

Mariclaire M.

“Carissa is fantastic and my two cats are always happy and well taken care of while I am gone.”

Irina P.

“Marissa is awesome. Very friendly and reliable. She took care of our dog Hana while we were away. She sent pics, fed her, let her out to go potty, and spent time with her. Marissa will definitely be our go-to from now on :) Thanks Marissa!”

About: I am obsessed with every animal under the sun, although the fluffy ones are my favorite. I have had a snake and hermit crabs as pets (in addition to the usual dogs and cats). I am notorious for remembering a pet's name while forgetting the name of their human. Nothing gives me more joy than meeting a new animal and learning all their quirks. I especially love working with pets who need a little extra care and attention. I spent five years living with a highly reactive dog, and have done reactivity training with my own dog for around 4 years. I have also served as a dog-walker for the local animal shelter, performing basic leash training with high-energy dogs. I really enjoy working animals on their terms - I am happy to sit quietly with a dog or cat until they feel comfortable enough to approach me. One of the reasons I like house-sitting and drop-ins are because pets tend to be much more confident and comfortable in their home, especially with a stranger. Whatever their needs, I will make sure to keep them comfy and happy. I have a flexible schedule and generally accommodate with enough notice. My transportation options are somewhat limited, so I prefer to work local to Vancouver. I am very respectful of my client's home and their established routine. I will work with you beforehand to make sure all your pet's needs are addressed.

“My boys did great with Madelyn and are so excited to have her back! 😄 She is super communicative and sweet and takes the time to get to know your fur babies and respects their personalities. She is wonderful!!!”

About: I’ve grown up with animals, volunteering with pet rescues as a foster home, as well as owning various of my own! I’ve had a range of pets like frogs, turtles, fish, dogs, cats, and small snakes! I’m really patient and open to a many of pet behaviors from quiet and reserved to crazy and fun! I’m a full time SAHW, so my schedule is able to be completely catered to personalize each pet client’s experience in my presence. For boarding, potty breaks can be as often as needed, and activities can be flexible for any pet’s needs. My home is an open-plan style, so there’s lots of room for everyone and their activities! I have multiple cat towers, dog beds, toys, rugs, and carpet areas for luxury laying down time. I have rooms to separate pets that may not get along, and I am experienced in handling uncomfortable situations in my own space. When I attend a client’s home, I really like for my pet clients to get most of my attention as scheduled, since my partner can always take care of our own pets while I’m away. I’m patient, I get as comfortable as allowed to help the environment for the pet, and I love to see other pets as my own friends.

“Miss Tiffany immediately bonded with our fussy old cat, Leo. She understood what he wanted and delivered copious pets, snuggles and treats for 12 days. The photos were a testament to his happiness. We couldn’t be happier with her service and most definitely will request her again should the need arise.”

“Jessica was great with communication and sending updates and pictures. I felt very comfortable having her watch my cats while we were away! Thank you!”

Theresa P.

“Jocelyn did an excellent job taking care of my kitties! She was very thorough and provided regular updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even managed to give them their meds, which can be tricky. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for reliable and attentive pet care!”

Dana W.

“Araceli is very responsive and reliable. I highly recommend her!”

Madelon P.

“Katie was absolutely amazing! She was on time, thorough and respectful of my home and King! She was so great with King, and practiced tricks with him without me asking her to and he absolutely adored her. Will absolutely use her again in the future!! Thank you so much Katie!”
