Cat Sitting Coon Rapids

“Rachel is an excellent sitter. She gave us the reassurance our cats were in good care while we were away, and made the two-week trip that much more enjoyable with the added peace of mind. As a fellow two-cat owner, she could anticipate any quirks and needs that may arise. The care plan was well executed, excellent communication, and everything was tidy when we returned. Made it a little less hard to be away from our little guys! Will book again in the future.”

“Pamela was fantastic with our two cats! She was always timely in her drop-ins, gave comprehensive updates, and kept our cats happy and entertained. We highly recommend her for anyone else looking for a sitter!”

“Outstanding care of my two cats, and on only a few days notice as well. Both are quite shy, but she got them to come out, play, and be petted. I would not hesitate to use her services again!”

About: I have experience grooming, clipping nails, cleaning litter boxes, filling food and water dishes, playing, taking them on walks (on and off a leash), giving meds, and administering IV fluids. I’m a full-time student and I attend all of my classes online. I volunteer Friday afternoons at CSHS, but I also do that remotely. Other than that my schedule is pretty open and I can be flexible. I’ll be handling drop-in visits and some house sits myself. But for longer stays or bookings a little farther from home, Dylan will be coming with me to help out. Between the two of us, your pets will get plenty of attention, company, and care while you’re away. I’ll keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as I possibly can, and I'll follow any/all instructions you leave for me. I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and taken care of, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away.

“Carter did a fantastic job taking care of my two senior cats and their various medical needs. They were responsive with sending me updates and photos, and very clearly loved my cats while I was gone. I'd recommend Carter for future visits!”

About: I have had both cats and dogs all of my life. I have raised 2 litters of kittens, I have raised 2 puppies including fostering one. I have spent the last 2 years caring for my senior cat who needed extensive medication administration and monitoring daily; she also needed a special diet and many vet and urgent care visits. I have owned a variety of animals from a Snow Bengal, house cats, cocker spaniel, golden retriever, German shepherd, terrier mix, ferrets, and bunnies. I raised my cocker spaniel from a puppy and trained him. I do not currently have any animals. I live in a very quiet manor home with a walking path in my backyard. I absolutely love animals, and I hope to live yours while you are away. I currently work full time, M-F 8-4. I am close to home and can come home during my lunch break if needed. I spend my time home when I have a pet, ensuring it is receiving the attention it needs while you are away. I love to spend time outside hiking, biking, and hammocking. I live in a manor home and have a second floor balcony which is entirely surrounded by chicken wire. If you have a cat who likes to be outside, they can safely enjoy the sun there-only with your approval. I can walk animals, take them outside for the bathroom as needed. I am happy to take your dog to the dog park if you would like. My place has a secure entry, with 2 doors.

“Hayden took great care of our cat! We got pictures and videos of her while we were away on a trip.”

About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience handling dogs of all different sizes, ages, breeds, and temperaments. As a current dog mom (and mom of 4), I’m passionate about providing safe, fun, and active walks tailored to each pup’s unique needs. I’m a busy mom of four, so my schedule is full — but dog walking is one of my favorite parts of the day! I absolutely love getting outside with our family dog, and I’ve built my routine around making time for fresh-air walks that benefit both the pups and me. I’m reliably available for walks in the evenings (after school and dinner) and on weekends (mornings or afternoons). I’m happy to work with your dog’s needs and your schedule as much as possible — consistency is important to me! I prioritize safety on every walk by using proper equipment, choosing safe routes, and giving each dog my full attention. As a mom and lifelong dog owner, reliability and clear communication are important to me. You can trust I’ll treat your pup like my own.

“Cayla was wonderful. We were in a crunch looking for care for our fur babies and she came in clutch. She was timely and loved and cared for them as we hoped. Thank you Cayla!”

“Natalie was a fabulous sitter for our home and our cat, Mookie!! When we returned, the cat was calm and comfortable (is usually stressed and shedding a lot when we return from vacations) , the house was tidy, and Natalie regularly communicated with us/gave updates while we were gone. Highly recommend!”

About: My dogs have always been very high needs growing up, so I have a lot of experience working with different diets, medications, and needs. I'm an athlete, so I can take them out for long periods of time to get exercise as needed, which can be really helpful for hyperactive dogs who have to be cooped up during the day. I'm also entirely capable of caring for senior dogs, I can take things at their pace and make sure they're comfortable and happy. I am currently a full time college student, but I have a lot of open time either between classes or after them. I commute to the Twin Cities from the suburbs, so I can easily travel wherever I am needed to be able to check in on or take care of your furry friends. Being in the cities with my own car I can take dogs out for walks around the lakes or down some of the trails nearby so they (and I) can get some proper exercise before my classes. When caring for pets, I always make sure they are getting plenty of time to move around, especially if I'm just dropping in to check on them, but regardless of the need. I like to keep a checklist of what I need to get done, as well as just having a bit of time to play with or pet them. I can take pets out for walks on foot or with my roller skates, which lets me go longer distances with them. I make sure to clean up any messes I might make, putting everything back as I found it and keeping things nice and tidy for when you get home again. I'm confident staying in new places, and can make sure everything stays safe in your home or space during my time there.

“Busy work schedules have made the days very long for our dog Ziggy, Lindsey has been a tremendous help to get him out for a potty break and quick walk or play time. He has been much happier vs spending long days in the kennel. Lindsey is our HERO!”

About: Thank you for considering me to provide care for your fur baby. I am available to provide drop-in care for your cat or small to mid-sized dog as well as walk your dog in your absence. I have almost always had a cat in my life. I had cats all throughout childhood and for 22 consecutive years as an adult. I usually have two furry friends in my home at one time. My current loves are an 18-year-old Maine Coon and a 6-year-old Tuxedo. I can care for kittens up through geriatric kitties like mine. I have complete flexibility with my schedule and am happy to take requests on short notice. I am happy to provide meds, brush your feline friend, feed, change litterbox, play with, or whatever else your cat needs. Although I have never had a dog, I have cared for the dogs of family members when they traveled or were recovering from surgery. Dog care included walking, feeding, playing, and just making sure the dogs stayed happy and healthy until my family member returned home. I appreciate the trust placed in me and can't wait to meet your four-legged companion. I have complete flexibility with my schedule and am willing to take requests with just one day's notice. Your fuzzy companions will be in good hands while you travel. Just let me know what your pet need while you are away from home, and I will provide it. I will leave your home exactly the way I found it as well.

About: Hi! I’m currently available as a drop-in sitter with an open and flexible schedule, and I would love to help take care of your pet(s)! I have experience taking care of both cats and dogs since I was a kid, and I’ve also been the sole owner of a cat for 4 years now. All pets receive the upmost care on my watch, and I would treat your pet as if it were my own. I’m excellent at maintaining schedules and routine care (feeding, medication, some grooming etc.), following instructions, sending updates, being reliable and adaptable, and overall ensuring your pet’s needs are met. I’m very flexible and available any day of the week and most times of the day, but I would prefer at least a day’s notice beforehand for when you need care. In my home, there’s my 1 cat as well as 2 dogs that are my parents’ dogs. With my cat, she has a daily feeding schedule (4 divided meals at 4-hour intervals) that I’ve maintained for the last few years, and I also scoop her litter daily, keep up with her routine care, and make sure she gets lots of attention and stimulation. I also help with my parents’ dogs when needed as well such as letting them outside, feeding them and providing water when needed, taking one of them on walks, etc.

“Helen was so sweet from the moment we met, and very on top of things. She not only took great care of our five cats, but also my many plants. The cats took to her instantly and we were able to vacation without any worries because Helen frequently updated us and sent us pictures all the time.”

About: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable pet lover in blaine who understands that pets are family. I’m here to give your dog or cat plenty of attention, patience, playtime, walks, and affection while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, a drop in visit, feeding, cuddles, or someone to keep them company, I will follow their routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m dependable, communicative, and will treat your fur baby with the same care I would give my own. I have experience with my own animals and family and friends animals I start school October 5th and have lots of down time from 1pm-6pm so pet care fits in really well with my schedule. And I’m always looking for things to do. I always watch for body language and signs of animals being stressed or in uncomfortable situations and as soon as I notice anything odd I remove them from that situation.

“Abigail was fantastic! It was an initial meet and greet for her to watch our pups and house for a night, and our dogs loved her IMMEDIATELY. She asked all the right questions, and made us feel certain that our pups and house were in great hands.”

“Alexandra was a tremendous caregiver to our cats, Millie and Maggie!! Millie was sick just before we left for our 2-week trip to Japan and had daily "accidents" all over the house while we were gone. Alexandra cleaned up the mess, showing us pictures of "before and after" the clean-up. Her remarkable care will never be forgotten! She was also able to coax our very shy Maggie out to give some treats. That's never happened before. Thank you, Alex!!”
