about my cat sitting team
Please read about the amazing people I have helping me take amazing care of your feline friends and your home!
Amber Buck
Lovely to meet you! I've always been an animal lover, but as a kid my obsession was with whales and dolphins. My first pet was a sweet chow-chow mix from my grandparents named Tasha, and my second was a little red-haired guinea pig named Rosie. One year I came back from band camp to learn they'd both passed, and I didn't have another pet for a long time. After returning home from grad school, my dad and I found a litter of four kittens with no mother to be found. Two were given away after a bit, and I raised the other two until I had to move away. I think this kind of kick-started my focused love for cats. Fastforward a few years when my husband and I were living in Brighton, CO, and someone told me they had a cat who needed to be an only child. We'd been talking about getting a cat "eventually" but this is just how the universe works with cats. Sometimes you suddenly just have one. And that's how we got Lilli! We've had her for four years now and love her very much. And I truly love getting to meet everyone's cats and caring for them when their people are out of town!
Dave Goodman
As a retired field-service engineer, I am truly enjoying my new career as your cat-sitter. One could even say that spending time with your kitty(s) is therapeutic for me and the kitty(s). I love to play your kitty’s favorite games or just hang out in the sun with them. I enjoy my kitty visits so much I have invested in a red-dot toy to engage with the more frisky kitties. I have known Sarah Hamilton since January 2020 when my family and I went on vacation and she took care of our kitty, Ragnar. We were very happy with her services, so much that we still use her today and I jumped at the opportunity to work with her once I retired. I look forward to taking care of your furry family member(s) as I would my own.
Laurel Van Driest
Laurel has lived in Longmont for over 20 year and is originally from Nebraska. She does not currently have cats, but shares two Akitas and a slightly barky Shiba/Chihuahua with her husband. In her spare time she loves visiting thrift stores and estate sales in the area. She often cat sits for her neighbor’s cat Trixie, and watches Trixie’s favorite program (Star Trek) with him (yes, him)! If your cats have favorite TV programs, let her know. Some of Laurel's past kitties include Catriona, Ruari, and Koschka - all stubborn, playful, and very companionable. She loves visiting your feline friends and taking care of your home!
Lindsey Carver
Hi! My name is Lindsey and cats are my absolute favorite! I have a blind orange kitty named Croissant, and a sassy grey kitty named Ralph. I also have a black Labrador who thinks she is a giant cat. I love caring for critters and your pets will be treated just like my own.

Shari Fabri
I am a life-long cat lover. I have always been smitten by their playful and curious nature, their stunning looks and most of all their “cat-itude”. After I retired from my job as an elementary school social worker, I started cat sitting. I did that for five years in Florida. I recently moved to Longmont, and missed kitty clients so much I decided to take the plunge and pursue cat sitting again with Ailurophile Cat and Home Care. Currently, my animal family consists of only my one kitty, Iggy Pop, who I found in a dumpster when he was teeny tiny. The things I value most in a cat sitter for my own cat, I strive to provide for client’s companions. I am looking forward to making new furry friends, as well as, meeting new pet parent clients.
