Cat Sitting in Brookings

About: Hi! I'm Leah, and I would be thrilled to be your go-to animal care provider. My heart is full of compassion for all creatures great and small, you can truly trust that your beloved pets receive the love, attention, and care they deserve! I'm ready to be the trusted companion for your friends. Currently, I am a senior at SDSU. I have classes from 1-2 and 3-4 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I do also work Mondays from 5-9 and Tues/Thurs from 3-8. Caring for pets in their own homes involves personalized attention. Every pet is unique, so being adaptable and responsive to each pet's individual needs is key to providing exceptional care. I take this role to heart as I step into their worlds!

We've had 3 litters of puppies so I have experience with the youngsters! Currently, we have 4 English Setters ranging from age 2-11. I'm currently a student athlete at SDSU so will be in the Brookings area until I graduate this coming Spring! I have availability most weekends, as well as Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. I care for pets in the way that I am affectionate, yet also know to let the pet know they aren't in charge. Otherwise, I love cuddles, playing outside, and going for walks!

About: I have cared for animals longer than I can remember. I have had experience with just about any animal you can think of. I have always watching neighbors/friends animals and really enjoy doing it. My grandparents own a ranch in SD so I think that is where my love for animals started. I would be able to provide just about any cares your baby needs! I also have experience with animals of all ages including pregnant/birthing cats! I am currently a nursing student at SDSU! I'm here almost every weekend as well. I have a couple hours of class a day and just clinicals on Wednesdays. I'm super flexible during the weekends as well as most weekdays! I currently have one border collie/austrailian shepard mix but we do have a two story house so they can be separate if needed. We have a fenced in backyard and also lots of parks around our pup loves to play at!

“Easy to communicate with and so caring! Piper loved her!”

“Jo Anna did so good with all three of my dogs and cats! My dogs are scared of new people and it was the first time we were leaving them for more than a couple hours and she did great! She sent me pictures and videos while we were gone and my animals to this day still love her! She cared for my animals just like they were her own with nothing but love and attention! I would recommend her to anyone because she is great! ❤️”

About: My whole family is full of animal lovers, so we have had multiple dogs and cats growing up. I have house sat and dog sat for numerous family friends throughout the years back home in WI, and while I’m at school, I would love to do the same for you! I have experience dog/cat sitting, and have also cared for horses while their owners were away. I’m currently a student athlete at (SDSU). I have a very free schedule since I am taking online classes so I will have lots of time to care for your animals! I can make mostly any day of the week work to spend time with your animal. I like to spend a lot of quality time with your pet, taking it on numerous walks, runs, or to the park. I am able to sleep over at client’s houses to make both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re away.

“Abbie is AMAZING with animals. She has a very kind heart, is very responsible and really cares about each animal. If there are special circumstances, she goes out of her way to make sure those requirements are met. Highly recommend!”

About: I have 9 years of experience. I can help with Pet Walking and Pet Sitting. I have my own animals of all different species. Looking to become a vet. Pretty knowledgeable in most species. I am comfortable with all animals. I’m a sophomore at SDSU majoring in Animal science with a minor in animal health and on the pre-vet path. I am looking at petting sitting basically any type of animal. My classes are in the morning so my afternoon and evening are basically free. I also am in Brookings a lot of weekends. I worked at the sheep unit last year and have pet sat many times. I have my own dogs and other animals. I know how to work e-collars and other collars if your dog is trained to that. I trained my own animals to do basic commands. I know how clean up after animals and clean them. I love to go on walks and play fetch with them.

“Brooke has watched my dog and four cats before and has provided great care. She makes sure feeding times are done at the right time, making sure not to over feed or under feed my animals. She also took my dog Gunner out for walks and kept him quite happy over the few days she watched him. The kitties loved having her as she got them all four playing as well. She communicates well and you can tell she really cares for animals!”

“Laura took great care of my cat, which was the first time I've used a cat sitter. She played with my cat, sent me pictures, and kept me updated on my cat's visit. I would highly recommend her and will use her again.”

“Kayley has had both very loving cats and dogs as family pets, and has treated them with the utmost care and affection that a person could possibly give. She has watched my Siberian Husky Frodo many times and has never failed to send me pictures of him having an absolute blast! I know I love my pup like a child, and if you feel the same way that I do, you should have no problems trusting Kayley to care for them!”

“Sawyer is one of the most caring people I know when it comes to both people & pets. I have seen her care for a variety of pets ranging from cats and dogs, all the way to cows. She is so patient with all animals, responsible, kind, and upbeat. She truly loves each animal like her own. I would trust her with any of my pets, and feel anyone else can/should too!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family since the age of ten! In the years of experience I have gained some of the best friendships with all of the pets involved in my life and continue to love and cherish them all to this day! I am a college student for SDSU who swims competitively around 10 times a week. Pet care fits perfectly with my schedule since I’m normally able to work whenever :) I have a tendency to baby my two dogs as they do everything with me. When pet sitting for others I follow whatever rules they have for their pets.
