Cat Sitting in Dellwood

“Over the years, Julie has watched our cats on multiple occasions. As with the prior instances, everything went flawlessly this time. Knowing that someone like Julie, who is trustworthy, professional, and thoughtful, is looking after our pets is very reassuring.”

About: I have lived with cats since I was 14 years old and have looked after cats and dogs independently since I was 16. I am comfortable with administering medications from my time working at Grand Avenue Veterinary Clinic. I typically work a week day that leaves me away from the house from the hours of 7am to 7pm. Please consider this when determining if I would be a good option for caring for your furry family! As I will be in your and your pets home, making sure everyone is comfortable with me in the space! My goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible while you are away. If you have any specific concerns about going on walks or interacting with other humans and pets please let me know so I can abide by what works best for your family. I have been trained on how to pill animals who are nervous about medication to ensure that your pet recieves their medication and remains safe and supported in the process. If you should ask me to take care of your home I make sure to grab the mail daily and follow the motto of leave it better than you found it! I want to have you to come home to a clean house.

“Hanna was responsible, communicative and loving to our dog while we were away. She went above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable and happy. We look forward to using her services again in the future!”

“Alivia answers requests quickly and most importantly, Dickens loves her. Alivia comes to visit with him for 30 minutes and he is one happy boy when I get home.”

About: I’m confident and comfortable with both dogs and cats, including puppies, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy animals, and pets that need extra patience or attention. I also have experience with potty training puppies, reinforcing routines and basic commands, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have worked professionally for years as a pet sitter for a wide variety of animals. This has given me experience and confidence in handling different temperaments, routines, and care requirements. I also grew up homeschooled on lots of land, so pets have been part of my everyday life for as long as I can remember. Because I was home during the day, I spent a lot of time helping with feeding, training, socializing, exercising, and caring for animals of all ages and personalities. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, whether they’re my own pets or someone else’s. I truly view animals as part of the family, and I believe every pet deserves individualized care, attention, patience, and love based on their unique personality and needs. I would treat every single pet as if it was my very own fur baby. I recently got married to the love of my life and moved to Mahtomedi! My husband works full time, I, however, have a completely wide open schedule! I have always loved animals and would love to fill my week days with taking care and of other people’s fur babies. Monday- Friday I am available any time of day all day. I am also available on weekends depending on the weekend, so please feel free to reach out and ask if the weekend you’re hoping for aligns with my summer plans. If I am staying in the pets home, I am sure to keep their routine as similarly as their owners do, so that both the pet and the owner feel as safe and comfortable as they can. I would be more than happy to send pictures and videos of their pet to update them on how they are doing. If the pets were in my home, I would do my best to make that temporary transition as smooth and as comfortable for them as possible. Whether that be bringing their own toys or bed, or letting them snuggle in the bed with me if that’s what they are used to. With my schedule being solely dedicated to pet sitting, your pet will never lack attention in whatever ways they need! Whether that’s endless walks and tug of war, snuggles on the couch, or just having a safe hand around to make sure they are picked up after.

“All three of our animals adored Sierra. She’s our favorite pet sitter. She’s professional, communicative, punctual, and definitely loves animals.”

“Norah is the best Rover watcher we have ever had!! When she first came over to meet Kingston and Theodore, she brought and took notes throughout the doggy meet and greet. She was so prompt and took pictures of the boys every visit and they were loved and happy!! Would highly recommend to anyone who wants their babies to have a lot of love!!”

About: I have over 10 years of hands‑on experience caring for dogs and cats, including puppies and kittens, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m calm, patient, and highly reliable — flexible with scheduling and available on weekdays and weekends. I can support puppy/kitten socialization and basic training (crate, potty, leash manners), and provide gentle, attentive senior care including medication administration, joint‑friendly walks, and adapted routines for mobility or cognitive needs. I’m comfortable with special diets and medical schedules, skilled at reading body language to prevent stress, and I am happy to send as many photo updates as you desire! I structure my day around the pets in my care to provide consistent routines and attention. Weekdays I’m available for morning and evening walks, midday potty breaks, and play/supervised rest throughout the day — I can also provide all-day care when needed since I live in a secure apartment with a fenced dog area and can be with your pet at all times. Weekends I offer extended walks, extra playtime and socialization. I follow each owner’s feeding and medication schedule precisely, accommodate crate or training routines, and am flexible for early/late drop-offs or pickups when arranged. I’m happy to do a meet-and-greet to coordinate schedules and any special timing needs. I treat every pet like family and tailor care to each animal’s needs and household rules. I provide photo/text updates after visits, and will contact you and your vet immediately in an emergency. I’m happy to meet beforehand to review routines, medical needs, and any special instructions to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety. In my home I provide a clean, pet-safe environment (no toxic plants/chemicals, non-smoking), supervised play, regular potty breaks, leash walks, and quiet resting areas. I live in a secure apartment building with a fenced-in dog area and can be with your pet at all times if they need extra attention. I follow each owner’s feeding schedule, portion and medication instructions, and any crate or training rules. In a client’s home I respect your space and routines, lock doors and gates after every visit, refresh water, tidy any messes, and leave a detailed visit note. I use secure leashes and carriers as needed, offer enrichment (toys, games, gentle training), limit interactions with other animals unless approved, and monitor pets closely for signs of stress or illness.

“Carolyn is dependable, and she is so wonderful with my dog. I’m glad to have found her on Rover & plan to continue having her watch my dog.”

About: I grew up on a farm and have had animals around my whole life. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, and my work with people on the spectrum has helped me understand different personalities, routines, and comfort needs. I love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently available most weekdays when I’m not babysitting my nieces. I spend a lot of weekends in the cities right now, but I’m occasionally available on weekends as well. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, park trips, or watching pets for a few hours at a time. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I pay attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level, whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, quiet time, or just keeping them company and making them feel loved while their owner is away.

“Maddie provides great updates and takes many pics of him for me!! She is also very flexible with her schedule for me!”

Carissa D.

“Thank you, Jeff! Nora was so content when we arrived home this evening after your visits these last several days. The photos you sent were reassuring and made us smile as we saw photos of Nora cuddling with Sherry. Thank you for taking great care of her.”

“Anna has been wonderful. I have a pretty reactive German Shepherd, so finding someone who can be patient during the warming-up period can be challenging. Kaya has already made great progress in getting comfortable with Anna, which is a true reflection of Anna's kind and calm nature. Anna has only worked with Kaya twice, but I’m planning to schedule regular visits based on the great results we’ve seen so far.”

“Leann was punctual for the appointed times to feed our kitty (and our kitty loves to be fed on time). She sent lots of cute photos letting us know our cat was eating well. She was caring and our kitty cat was in good spirits upon our return.”
