Cat Sitting in Buxton

“Thanks again Kayla - all I can see she is very reliable, responsive and did a great job caring for my cats. It really helped a second time to be away and knowing there is someone who cares about your pets with love and passion. Highly recommend her 🙏”

“Natalie is such an amazing sitter! We had to find a new sitter and she is wonderful. She cleaned up some messes one of our older cats made, ensured that their waters were clean, and loved on my cats. Keeping her info for the future!!”

About: I have three dogs of my own. They are well mannered and do very well with other dogs. I have owned animals since a child, run our own small farm with dogs, cats, rabbits, geese, and chickens. I also worked at a humane society administering medical care for the animals. I have skills spanning from puppies to senior care and feel confident in my ability. I am patient and adaptable to whatever your pets energy is. The area I live in has a lot of beautiful places to walk and get energy out. I can be a couch potato cuddle buddy, a jogging partner or anything in between. Your pets will be treated like my own. I have also added security (fencing, baby gates, or crates) if needed to avoid any escapes and to prevent accidents from occurring. Due to how busy I have become I have a second pair of hands here now. Her name is Sabrina and we work together to care for your fur babies. If there is ever a time I am not home momentarily she will be available to your pet, or to you. She’s just as amazing with dogs 🤍🐶 I will follow your lead and the energy I see with your pup. We will go on walks, play in my large grassy yard or the fenced school behind my home or snuggle on the couch. I also have several dog beds if they like their space and want to lounge, I have a big basket of dog toys they can shop for a favorite to play with or any of my dogs that seem like a good fit for a wrestle buddy. I work from home and have a large fenced yard as well as a fenced park behind my home. I am available at anytime of the day to sit, play, or walk your pets. Both in my home or yours. I am confident in providing any service needed for your pets safety or comfort and communicating with you to make sure you are also at ease with their stay with me ❤️

About: I'm living with family and among our number is an 11-year-old puggle who still plays fetch like he’s in his prime. He's such a sweet dog and his energy is impressive given his age. He's an old hand at fetch and he loves to sliiiiiide across the kitchen floor after the ball. I grew up with golden retrievers, have loved a pittie/hound mix and a Carolina dog, and I routinely spend time with my friends’ standard poodles who are often too smart for their own good. I truly enjoy connecting with all sorts of dogs and getting to be an Auntie to the fur-children of friends and family. I'd love to assist you with your schedule, trips, or unexpected events through caring for your furry-family-members. Dogs are fantastic in all their forms: the goofy, the gentle, the high-energy, and the wonderfully stubborn. I’m happy to play fetch, offer enrichment through lick mats or puzzle toys, and run through commands or doggy-drills if your pup knows them. If your dog needs calm company instead, I’m equally content just giving them companionship and keeping their routine steady. *Before booking, a few things to know: 👋 Meet & Greet: I prefer to have a short, unpaid meet & greet before the first sitting engagement. This helps me find your home, lets both you and your dog(s) meet me, and gives us a chance to review routines or any special care needs. 📆 Advance Notice: A few days’ notice before booking is ideal, but feel free to reach out if you need something sooner. I would still like to arrange a meet & greet if it’s our first time working together. *Requirements for Safe, Reliable Care: 🩺 Emergency & Vet Info: I like to have your dog's vet and an emergency contact on hand. I think it's better to be safe than sorry. ✖️ No Stairs: Due to severe arthritis in both knees, I need to stay on one level of your home. A few entryway steps are fine, but I can’t go to second floors or basements. Apartments must be ground floor, unless there's an elevator. 🐾 No Walks: Because of my arthritis, I can’t provide walks. I can, however, let your dog out into a yard, supervise outside play, provide potty breaks (pick-up after potty breaks), and offer plenty of indoor/outdoor enrichment. ⏰ Visit Times: I begin bookings no earlier than 8 AM. Later morning, afternoon, and evening visits are totally fine. Similar to my preference if a few days notice, however, if you really need someone sooner than 8am, feel free to ask. My goal is simple: meet your dog(s) exactly where they’re at and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. 🐕🐩🏠 --- 🐾 I also happily care for a variety of other pets! 🦎🐍🐦🐇🐹🐀🐭🐠 I have experience with — and genuine love for — many kinds of companions, including lizards, snakes, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, mice, and fish. Each of these animals has their own unique needs, routines, and safety considerations, and I’m always happy to talk through the details. Let me know the species, type (such as the kind of snake or lizard), dietary needs, and any special handling instructions so I can make sure they receive proper, attentive care. My schedule is pretty open, right now. I'm a night owl so I'd prefer to not start before 8am, but I can do visits a couple times a day. My only scheduled commitments, at the moment, are Thursday evenings and from 2-7pm on Sundays. I will feed, clean-up after, and play with your pets as needed. Right now I'm only doing drop-in service, but later I may be available for overnight sitting. I will always leave your home at least as clean as it was when I arrived.

“Amelie has great instincts with Bella's needs. She noticed that Bella was getting a little stiff, (she does have arthritis) and was able to adjust her activity. Amelie was on time every day and kept me updated. I would recommend Amelie and I will use her services again.”

“Graysen does an amazing job taking care of my cat Mighty. Graysen is conscientious and makes sure Mighty gets attention and care when he is at the house visiting and feeding Mighty. I loved the daily photos of Mighty and the updates on him. I have already schedule Graysen to come back for a week! I have a feeling Mighty is looking forward to his visits! Thank you so much, Graysen!”

“We are very happy with all the love and care McKenzie and Andre showed our furry babies. Toni and Horatio looked like they felt right at home.”

“50000/5 stars for Aurora! She was so kind and helpful and took great care of our kitties! She kept up updated on the feedings and sent us photos which was the best. She really cares about taking care of your pets and I would recommend her to everyone! Thank you Aurora!”

About: I have been paid for pet care since I was in Highschool, but I have never been in a home without pets. For the majority of my life I have shared in the responsibilities that come with having pets. I am currently available most days of the week and for most hours of those days. However, if there is a day that I am listed as not working I am willing to make a plan to help get your pets the care that they need. I have been taking care of animals for my entire life. Because of this I have knowledge of certain things such as foods and toys that are safe or unsafe for pets and I have a keen eye for potential dangers.

“I am so grateful I met Jennifer! She is so sweet and caring and she took great care of my home and my babies 🐈🐈. I always worry so much about my pets when I’m gone and Jennifer really helped put my mind at ease. She’s wonderful- highly recommend her and will be using her services again.”

About: I’ve taken care dogs since I was a young child love them with everything! I have had to give supplement and medications to puppies and older dogs while watching them, as long as the puppy parents gave me instructions. Walks are a must have! I am very active rain, snow, and of course sunshine. So in the summer hikes are my go to in the PNW. And maybe your furry buddy would like a hike as well. I have a very open schedule, I work from home. So watching some furry friends while I have lots of time would be my favorite thing! When caring for pets in my own home or a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved by following their normal routines as closely as possible. This includes providing fresh food and water, regular walks or playtime, administering any medications if needed, and keeping their environment clean and secure. I also give plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment—whether that’s cuddles, toys, or exercise—to ensure both dogs and cats stay happy and healthy. Most importantly, I pay close attention to their behavior and needs so I can respond quickly if something seems off, treating every pet as if they were my own.

About: I am exclusively a cat sitter, I do not offer dog services and am only doing this because Rover is making me do it. Haha. I currently at a stay at home mom that travels about 90 miles a day for my daughter's gymnastics, 6 days a week. I have lots of down time to love on your kitties while you are out of town! I am reliably (sometimes too much so) on time. I will go above and beyond to ensure that not only your cat's basic needs are met, but that they are loved and feel safe with my being there and love on them if they want. Having two cats who require someone to come over and cuddle when I leave town, I understand that the typical "cat" personality does not actually exist and that they are their own unique creatures.

“Maria is my hero. She really saved the day for me. She took excellent care of George and kept him safe while I was at work. She is professional and put me at ease the minute she walked in the door. I felt I could trust her with my baby almost immediately. She definitely has George’s stamp approval too! He looked happy and cozy when I arrived home. Thank you Maria ! Our pets are like kids and it feels good having someone I can trust to take care of him.”

“Anna did an excellent job checking in on my cats, Ole and Finn. They were well cared for and happy. I loved getting the updates and photos on the daily rover cards. I’d book with Anna again in the future. She’s a great sitter!”

Lani H.

“Breezey did an amazing job watching my two cats while I was out of town for ten days. She was communicative and gave great updates. I was a little anxious after experiences I had with pet sitters in the past, but I had absolutely no worries or issues this. ☺️”

About: I’ve been a dog parent myself since I was 14. I have always loved helping family and friends take care of their pets. I raised my German shepherd from puppyhood, and more recently, I’ve been training my rescue dog, Thorn. I have experience working with puppies, reactive dogs, and dogs that need medication. Your dog’s needs will always come first! I just moved to the area and am searching for a permanent job, so I have plenty of daytime, weeknight, and weekend availability! I am not traveling over the holidays so I have availability to watch your pets if you’re traveling! In your home, I will make sure that your pets always have access to fresh water. I will feed them according to your schedule and any restrictions. I have experience working with dogs who have special needs, so I will be careful to follow any special directions or house rules. I will let them out to use the bathroom according to your schedule and/or as they indicate.

“Great at communicating and has been dependable.”
