KittyBuddy

We just came back from our first vacation away from our new furbaby Marty and after so much anxiety (will he think we abandoned him? will he cry the whole time? will he be bored?) we are pleased to have a go-​to, trustworthy, A+ kitty sitter to call up when we are away.
Marty is SUPER social. Loves to be around people and loves to play… so we called Alena mostly to keep him company and to have human interaction at least once a day. She was awesome in reporting how he was doing, what he was playing with, and any issues/​updates we needed to know (bringing in unexpected packages and mail, any Marty barfs, etc). The pictures mostly helped me and my attachment issues :)
She’s a superstar for taking care of all these babies during the busiest time of year and never skimping on the details. She even got him a Christmas card and gift card to Pet Food Express! Who does that?! Seriously, she’s great.
I can’t thank Alena enough! ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would do again!

Alena was awesome. The kitties loved having her daily visits, and we were so happy to receive the daily reports… with pictures and video! She even brought in unexpected packages for us while we were gone, which was much appreciated.
Alena’s communication and response time are top notch. We will definitely be asking Alena to cat sit again.

KittyBuddy is a DoggyBuddy too! I absolutely trust Alena of KittyBuddy with my blind, old lady dog, Oreo (who you can see, looking very happy while eating a pig ear, in the KittyBuddy photo album). Alena is patient, responsible, compassionate, and goes above and beyond the call of duty to take extra good care of my special needs girl.
Oreo has something called SARDS (Sudden Acquired Retinal Degeneration Syndrome) that caused her to go blind very suddenly, along with a marked increase in appetite & thirst, and accordingly, an increase in urination. She’s also 14 years old. When I am away, I need a «live-​in» sitter to be there for Oreo off and on throughout the day and night to handle these special needs. As you can imagine, Oreo is not the easiest pup to care for, but Alena handles her perfectly, with love, patience, and a great attitude.
Oreo and I have our «systems» for just about everything, so that she has the routine and stability she needs and so that I can manage the potty accidents and such as efficiently as possible with minimal disturbance to the house and neighbors. Basically, I run a tight ship by necessity, to keep things sane and calm, and Alena totally gets it! She is super great about sticking to our systems to keep Oreo happy and content and the whole household orderly and clean. Plus I get updates while I’m away and a full «wrap-​up» report at the end so I know everything relevant that happened while I was gone. I love that. Zero worries.
I really just cannot praise Alena’s services enough. The peace of mind I have when I am away from home, knowing that my sweet blind girl is being cared for so well, is priceless.

Alena is everything you could ask for in a pet sitter — responsible, communicative, compassionate and caring. She will treat your pets with as much love and attention as if they were her own. She’s watched our cat Marble several times and it gives me great peace of mind to know he’s in such good hands while we’re away. Two paws up for Alena and KittyBuddy — highly recommended!

I can’t say enough about how amazing Alena is and how grateful I am for how well she took care of my cat. My kitten was comfortable with Alena right off the bat, and he clearly loves the time he gets to spend with Alena. After a long trip I came home to a very happy and well-​taken-​care-​of cat. It was extra nice to find other things (watering plants, getting mail, feeding the fish) were taken care of with great thoughtfulness and attention to detail.
I am so glad we found Kittybuddy. I recommend Alena without any hesitation to anyone who needs a friendly, competent, super reliable, thoughtful, and sweet pet sitter.

Alena at KittyBuddy has been my number one go to cat sitter for over 5 years. There is no one I trust more to take care of my cat Nelly! Alena truly cares for the animals she watches and it shows. Nelly is always happy and clearly well loved after time with Alena! The cuddles, play time and special bond that she has with animals are all part of what makes Alena’s services very special. I can’t recommend her enough!

KittyBuddy is a godsend! Alena is the most loving, caring, and responsible caretaker for our little kitty. We travel a ton and Alena had been taking care of our furbaby since she was 6 weeks old. I never feel guilty when leaving Bielka with Alena because I know she will care for her with great attention, lots of games and cuddles.
After my little Bielka spends time with Alena, I’m afraid she won’t like me as much any more. Alena is extremely attentive, plays with my kitty a ton, keeps her engaged and happy. Alena is the perfect pet sitter and cares deeply about the animals in her care and I recommend her services to anyone who loves their pets!

I have trusted Alena with my Mrs. Kitty for years. She has been an ally and a friend to all different types of animals. Our cat was sick with Feline Leukemia for a good year and a half and I felt comfortable and safe to leave her in the care of Alena. She administered her meds and spent time with her. She would turn on the heater and warm up the house if it was to cold. I highly recommend her and can’t imagine another person up to par. Alena a.k.a. Dr. Doolittle
