Cat Sitting Arcola

“Melissa was a great sitter for our cat. She communicated promptly, asked appropriate questions, and sent photos on each day of our cat's care. Sidney was well taken care of while we were gone. Thanks Melissa!”

“Valerie was so sweet and thoughtful with our dogs! Lots of walks and pets. She really went the extra mile by bringing bones for them. Thank you!”

“LeAnn was very friendly and conscientious with our two cats. She came over before we left to meet them, go over the instructions, and understand where everything is and what needed to be done while we were gone. She spent enough time to play with both cats and give them some much-needed attention. We appreciated her pictures and updates on how the cats were doing. Both of them were comfortable with Leann and were very friendly with her. We are very happy with how she did and plan to use Leann again in the future as our primary cat-care person.”

“Gavin took great care of our dog, Luna, and my brother’s dog, Ike, over the holiday weekend. He was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated with photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups and would gladly book with Gavin again. Highly recommend! 🐾”

About: What sets me apart is my combination of professional experience and a lifetime of hands-on pet care. I spent over three years working in a dog daycare and boarding facility, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I also worked as a pet store manager, which gave me valuable experience with animal behavior, care, and overall pet wellness. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior needing extra attention, I provide patient, personalized care tailored to them. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home most days, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. I only go into the office one day per week, so I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most pets’ routines and needs. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and quality one-on-one attention into my day. Whether your pet prefers an active day or a quiet companion nearby, I can provide a comfortable and consistent environment while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any other specific care requests. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and mental stimulation based on their individual needs and personality. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, so I treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Frankie, and I’ve spent many years caring for cats and dogs of all breeds and personalities. I truly love animals, and my top priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I nanny as well and know these are babies too just with fur! In addition to pet sitting, I work part-time evening shifts at a hospital and am currently a student. My schedule is flexible, and I make sure to give each pet the time and attention they need Safety is a top priority in everything I do. I always take care to follow each pet’s routine, keep them secure in their environment, and watch closely for any signs of stress or discomfort. Whether it’s walks, feedings, or downtime, I’m committed to making sure your pets are safe, calm, and well cared for at all times.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. Our family animals (dog, cats, goats, Guinea pigs, birds, lizards, and a pony) fostered my lifelong love of animals. As a dog sitter, I have experience working with many different breeds and personalities. I have worked at a cruelty-free animal shelter, where I walked dogs, provided playtime, and helped take care of their living spaces. I have experience dog sitting in my home and understand the importance of helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. When your dog is with me, they will receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I am happy to take your dog on walks as often as needed and look forward to having a companion to play and cuddle with. On days I am not at school, I am at home, which allows me to give your dog my full attention throughout the day. I genuinely care about making every dog feel happy, comfortable, and secure, and I will treat yours as if they were my own! I am currently a doctoral student studying Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine and my schedule allows me to provide pet care throughout the week. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I am on campus for part of the day, and Thursday through Monday I study from home, which gives me the availability to provide your pets with plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. I live in a house with my parents. The upstairs level is my dedicated living space, which includes a bedroom, bathroom, and a living room area. Your pet will spend their time in this space with me! My parents have a cat that lives downstairs. They will not be living in the same space. We live on 4 acres, providing ample outdoor space for play, exploration, and exercise. We are located on rural road, which is great for long walks. When caring for pets, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions you provide.

About: I've taken care of dogs (housesitting and dog walking) ever since I was 10 years old. I have taken care of dogs anywhere from 9 weeks old to 17 years old. I have no problem giving medications or any special requests. I am currently in the middle of my senior year at Montana State University and am home for a bit this summer! I am extremely flexible, usually I end up going to the gym once a day, but don’t have any formal commitments! I do not have a home that I can bring dogs into, but I am more than willing to take care of dogs in your home, crating them, keeping them leashed (if necessary), and making any other modifications you may need.

“Very good with our cats.”

“Vanessa is a true cat-lover and our cat was comfortable with her from the first time they met. She took excellent care of him while we were away on vacation, followed directions, and I would highly recommend her to other cat parents.”

About: I have a very flexible schedule and I'm happy to be there for walks and potty breaks or house and pet sitting as-needed. Minnesota native. I look forward to hearing from you. I have a small dog of my own and I take her for walks as needed, although she has severe arthritis and needs daily medication and monitoring. I am accustomed to letting her out to go to the bathroom at least every 4-5 hours. She is my pride and joy, and I'll ensure your canine family member is treated with equal care. I also care for my mother's large dogs often and grew up with larger breeds. There are 3 dogs in my household already, so boarding your dog at my residence may be a challenge, but I have done it before with enough time for a couple meet and greets beforehand. I am more than willing to come to you for your overnight needs or for daily walks and playdates.

About: I've had more than 2 dogs in my home my entire life, from 8 week old puppies to seniors. I have experience giving the dogs medicine when they need it. I work part time at a retail store, so I am never working more than 9 hours at a time, I usually only work 4-5 hours normally. I make the pets my priority when I am caring for them and I watch their behaviors so I can catch anything out of the ordinary. I follow feeding directions and potty schedules.

“So thankful for Theresa! She took such great care of Sunshine while we were away. I highly recommend Theresa and will definitely use her again ;)”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats. I started taking care of neighbors pets around 10-11 years old as well as my own dog. I've taken care of small dogs and large dogs. I have most experience with dogs older than 1 year old. I am still comfortable helping with puppies though. I'm currently available most days of the week and can accommodate to helping on weekends when needed as well. My schedule is fairly flexible and I am open to accommodations. I can help care for your dog or pet in your home as long as you tell me and show me what you need me to do.

“Denise did a great job, with our cat. She kept the food and water dishes full, cleaned litter box everyday. Also gave our cat some needed attention. I would highly recommended Denise for care of pets. Very reliable.”

About: I’ve had dogs and other animals for my entire life. I worked as a veterinary assistant for 7 years and completed a B.S. in animal science as well. I have experience with dogs of all ages from puppy training to senior dog care. I am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, along with caring for pets with special needs. I do work full time Monday-Friday in the Stillwater, MN area, but I have flexible lunch time breaks to accommodate mid day walks or potty breaks! I offer daily check ins, walks, and house sitting for your furry friends. I like them to be as comfortable as possible in their own environment:)

About: I am currently a student at Northern Michigan University, looking to make a little money to help me through college. My whole life, I’ve been surrounded by pets. Back home in Minnesota, I have 4 dogs, a cat, 30 chickens, and a wide variety of reptiles. And I miss them very much! I would love to provide great care for your pet and help reduce some stress in your day! I am currently a member of the Women’s lacrosse team at NMU, therefore my schedule changes by the week! However, I am very flexible with mid-day walks/drop ins. Depending on the week I have a lot of free time in the evenings! I do not have pets here in Marquette, however I have several years of experience pet-sitting and house sitting in Minnesota. I’m a true animal lover and would provide nothing but the best care for your pet!

About: My lifelong passion for animals began on our family’s organic dairy farm in Menomonie, Wisconsin, where I learned the dedication required to care for animals of all sizes. Over the years, we have opened our hearts and home to our friends' pets, gaining extensive hands-on experience with everything from energetic dogs to gentle bunnies. As a homeschool family, someone is almost always home to provide continuous love, attention, and structured care. We spend plenty of time outside so your pet will have lots of opportunities to exercise and spend time in the sun. Your pet will enjoy full access to our house and a large, securely fenced yard perfect for safe outdoor exploration. Located in a peaceful, dog-friendly neighborhood, we offer a warm, reliable, and attentive home-away-from-home where your pet will be treated like family.

“Ashley was amazing with our four cats! We had eye issues with one cat right before our trip and Ashley gave meds to him daily. Drops, ointment, and pills! It was a huge relief to have someone so confident and caring in charge!”
