Our Passion

Whether your cat is an introvert or extrovert, Catbuddy has the knowledge and experience to handle most.

We create a stimulating in-home environment by sticking to feeding routines to keep anxiety to a minimum and provide lots of play for the active, energy filled furballs. For those cats that prefer their space and privacy, we respect that too. Our personalized care makes us stand-out from the rest.

Our Executive Catbuddy Team

Catbuddy is a collaboration and purr-suit of three lifelong cat lovers that truly care about the welfare of every single cat in the world. Our shared favorite motto is “Saving one cat will not change the world, but for that one cat the world will change forever”.

Bio

My name is Yara and I am one of the co-founder’s of Catbuddy. My love for animals and in specific cats, began at a very early age. There hasn’t been a time in my life when pets weren’t a part of it. Cats are my passion! Today I am a proud pet parent to Pepper, a female cat rescued from a local shelter in Miami and 5 feral cats. They are my heart and soul and have me wrapped around their little paws.

My days with cats and dogs is the ultimate hobby. I have fostered more than a dozen homeless cats that now have loving, forever homes; a new paw on life. Fostering cats was the most life-fulfilling thing I’ve ever done. I watched them come into rescue sad, lost, hurting and just wanting to be loved. With loving care, patience and medical attention they blossomed, regaining faith in their human counterparts.

They say, “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life”.

My life-long love of animals and deep desire to see traveling parents have the peace of mind that their pets are safe and sound is what drives my focus @ Catbuddy.com

Bio
Raised in a household that adored cats, I’ve had the grace and pleasure of being around these beings with their special souls most of my life. They’ve all had their quirks, their differing personal habits but above all they are simply the greatest animal to allow you in. When you allow a cat’s life into yours, the rewards are endless.

With my background in film marketing, collaborating with Yara and Jodi has been a rewarding mission that is a joy to see grow. Having traveled a lot for work, I understand the need we have, as cat parents, to know our little furry family members are taken care of properly.

If we can help even a handful of cats get their daily treats, feel safe, healthy and comfortable then it’s been worth it. But of course, we want to be there for as many cats as we can.

What We Do

While you’re away. We’ll feed and play.

Personalized Cat Sitting
