I stay overnight in your home so your pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you travel. They stay where they are happiest, and you enjoy peace of mind wherever you go.

Why In-Home Pet Sitting Is Better for You and Your Pets

Leaving home does not have to mean leaving your pets behind. In-home pet sitting keeps them surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. With The Buena Vista Petsitter, your pets receive personal attention, dedicated care, and comfort in their own space. No boarding, no noisy kennels, and no rushed visits. Just reliable, full-time care from someone you trust.

Less Stress For Your Pets

Home is where your pets feel most at ease. Staying in their own environment helps reduce anxiety, and keeps them comfortable, calm, and content. They enjoy their favorite spots, familiar sounds, and steady routine, which helps protect their emotional well-being.

Consistent Care and Attention

Your pets receive personal, one-on-one attention from the same sitter every day. Their feeding schedule stays consistent, walks are predictable, medications stay on track, and they enjoy meaningful connection and playtime. It feels familiar because it is.

A Safer, Cleaner Environment

Staying at home keeps your pets away from crowded facilities, illness, and unnecessary stress. Their toys, beds, and spaces stay clean and safe. You also return to a tidy, well-cared-for home.

Home Security & Peace of Mind

In-home pet sitting also helps protect your house. Lights rotate, mail and packages are collected, and your home looks lived-in. You receive daily photo and video updates so you can relax knowing everything is taken care of.

Perfect For Multi-Pet Homes

Whether you have several pets or pets with very different needs, staying at home keeps everyone together and comfortable. Each pet receives individual care without being separated or overwhelmed.

What Pet Owners Are Saying

Nothing matters more than knowing your pets are happy, healthy, and relaxed while you are away. Here are real stories from homeowners who trusted me with their furry family members and their homes.

Austin was a wonderful pet- and house-sitter for us. He was very easy to communicate with, gave us plenty of updates, and left the house in pristine condition for our return. Our dog tends to have a lot of energy, and needs plenty of stimulation and exercise to stay happy. We could tell he got plenty of both! Thanks again!

Genevieve (Seattle, WA)

Austin was wonderful! Not only did he take absolute care of our dogs and house, but he went the extra mile to bring in our plants when we had a sudden hard freeze. He gave updates with the dogs and house and left the house tidy, with laundry neatly folded and the most delicious cupcakes! We recommend him without hesitation!

Dennis (Denver, CO)

Austin was just wonderful. We felt completely relaxed about leaving our dog Heidi with him. He took her to work with him, as she doesn’t like to be left at home all day, took her for plenty of walks and was very communicative with us the whole time. Your pet will be in really good hands!

Britta (Asheville, NC)

FABULOUS! Honestly, we couldn’t ask for a better sitter. We came home to happy cats and a spotless home. And he kept us updated on our fur babies, sending some cute and entertaining pics our way. We didn’t have a single concern or regret, and we’d have him back anytime.

Leana (Asheville, NC)

We can honestly say that as a sitter for our kitties for the first time, Austin is more than welcome back to our West Asheville home. He was very responsive and respectful, and asked us fabulous questions based upon other sitter experiences. Thank you so much for caring for Nonie and Mandarin!

Victoria (Asheville, NC)

Austin was the best we could hope for. Not only did we get along personally but he loved our cat and our home and cared for both as if they were his own. The house and laundry were cleaned and folded, kitchen spotless and cat in love with him. I could not recommend him more.

Midge (Boulder, CO)

Austin is a GREAT sitter. He took amazing care of our home and our pup; we were honestly afraid he would leave with them. He’s a pro on every level and he goes the extra mile. He gave Dr. Pepper a bath and made us dessert from our fruit as welcome home gifts. You’ll be lucky to have him.

Dottie (Santa Fe, NM)

Austin did a superb job and our two dogs loved them. He provided updates and sent photos during our trip. The house was immaculate upon our return. Great guy, easy to communicate with, and very dependable. Highly recommended and will use him again. He is the best!

Wiley (Asheville, NC)

Austin was just terrific and my critters were so happy when I got home. My kitty cat need extra attention because of an injury — I came back to a healthy cat. Austin really went above and beyond. I will be calling him every time we are headed out of town. :)

Lorie (Durango, CO)

Austin was so very good to our elderly cats. His friendliness and gentle caring nature was apparent within minutes of his arrival in our home. He sent many pictures of the kitties snuggling with him. We came home to a clean and peaceful house. We are so grateful to Austin for his fine job.

Becky (Bayfield, CO)

Our dogs loved Austin! He took excellent care of them, even transporting one of them to the vet when necessary. We arrived home to a clean house! He was great about sending us photos and reports! Very responsible and knowledgeable.

Mary (Buena Vista, CO)

Austin was a great sitter, taking great care of our kitties and our house. He communicated when there was a need and kept us apprised of our kitties with pictures. He left our place looking better than it was when we left. We would be happy to have him sit for us again.
