Pet care experience

Professional Sitter

Hi pet parents of Buffalo! Here’s a little about me: I began pet sitting on Rover 7 years ago while attending graduate school in Atlanta, and have received so much joy from meeting and caring for dozens of people’s pets throughout the years. Now, I’ve been putting down roots here in Buffalo and have made caring for pets my full time business. Based on your pet’s needs, I am available for drop ins daily between 7am-8pm, including holidays and weekends (check ins outside those hours can be discussed on an individual basis). I know how hard it can be to trust your pet with a new person. Rest assured, I will treat your pet like my own 2 cats (spoiled and loved)! I pride myself on connecting with each individual pet, my communication with clients, following instructions, and my reliability. Please, do not be embarrassed if you have a 5-page instructions document for your pet, or, alternatively, if you needed to book last-minute and only have time for a virtual meet-and-greet; I am here to adapt and provide care for your particular situation. Please send me a message or request to see if we may be a good fit. I can't wait to meet your pet!

Fantastic sitter, actually got my anxious cat to come out of hiding which he doesn't normally with strangers. Always got updates and the apartment was left pristine! Thanks so much :)

Alyx is serious and responsible and detail-oriented. They clearly love cats and want to do a good job. Will definitely engage them again! Thanks so much

Alyx is awesome and I will definitely use her services again next time i’m out for more than 2 days. Sent pictures and summaries every day! Took away any worries I might have been thinking about. Alyx is the best!

Great communication, gave Winnie the love and attention she needed. My fur baby really enjoyed her time with Alex.
