Cat Sitting Forest Lake

“We are so grateful for Brandy! She was reliable, attentive, and truly caring with our beloved cat while we were away on vacation. Knowing our kitty was in such good hands gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away without worry. Brandy made sure our cat felt loved and comfortable, kept us updated, and was very responsive. It was clear she treated our cat as if it were her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Renee has been awesome! I get nervous about leaving my kitties, but Renee has been great with updates, photos, and answering questions or concerns! Will definitely be booking with her again.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life, for as long as I can remember we always had 3 dogs. I've been pet sitting on-and-off since I was a teenager and have experience caring for all ages and sizes! I worked for Angel of Hope Animal Shelter for over two years as their marketing specialist (2019-2021), after I left and accepted a different position, I stayed on as a foster parent for awhile before I had to officially resign - I was switched to night-shift at work and was no longer able to continue care at the standard I wanted. I have experience working with tripod (three-legged) dogs and cats, administering oral medications, and treating diabetes/administering insulin to cats. I am passionate about pets and dedicated to their well-being, I offer top-notch dog walking and pet care services that ensure your furry friends are happy, healthy, and loved. I have several years of experience and a genuine love for animals. I'm happy to work with you and come up with a personalized care plan tailored to each of your pet's unique needs. Whether it's a leisurely walk, playtime, or specialized care, your furry family members will feel right at home with me. I am trustworthy, reliable, and committed to excellence. I am here to give your furry family members the care and attention they deserve! I have pretty flexible schedule. 2-3 days a week I’m in Minneapolis from 8-5, I can switch those days up as well to work around clients, the rest of the week I work from home. Caring for pets in my client's home involves a personalized and attentive approach to ensure each pet feels comfortable and loved. Here's how I do it: 1. Initial Meet & Greet: I always start with a supervised meet & greet. I’ll work with you to understand your pet's routine, preferences, and any special needs or medical requirements. This also helps the pets feel more comfortable with later drop in visits when their pawrents aren’t home. 2. Customized Care Plans: Based on the consultation, I’ll work with you to create a customized care plan tailored to your pet's unique needs, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care instructions. 3. Comfort and Familiarity: I prioritize making your pet feel safe and comfortable in their home environment by maintaining their usual routine. 4. Daily Walks and Exercise: For dogs, I offer daily walks and playtime to ensure they get the physical activity and mental stimulation they need. 5. Feeding and Hydration: I follow your specified feeding schedule and dietary requirements, ensuring your pets are well-fed and hydrated. 6. Health and Hygiene: I will monitor your pet's health, administer any necessary medications, and maintain their grooming and hygiene needs. 7. Communication and Updates: I’ll keep you informed with regular updates, photos, and videos of your pet, so you can have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands. 8. Emergency Preparedness: I am trained to handle emergencies and have a plan in place for any unexpected situations, ensuring your pet's safety at all times.
 By offering comprehensive, compassionate, and reliable care, I strive to make every pet feel at home and every pet owner feel confident in their choice of care provider.

About: I am a big time animal lover that has taken care of dogs, cats and rabbits for over 8 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their animals. I’m currently working 4 10 hour days with Thursdays and weekends off. I would be able to hang out with or stop in with your pets in the morning and evening Monday-Wed and Friday or anytime Thursday or Saturday-Sunday I can stop by or stay over and do whatever is needed to take care of the pets in my clients’ home including crating, feeding, letting outside and more!

About: I have my own German Shepherd I have had since she was 6 months. As well as having been around dogs a good portion of my life, I do my best to be what she needs I work very part-time at a dominoes, usually only 4-8 hours a week, i do have appointments on Tuesdays, lasting only about 2 hours so I am always home and have plenty of time for your beloved doggos I do not have a fenced yard, but I do have a firmly secured tie-out and extra leashes for outside potty breaks and/or walks, as well as a 5 year old German Shepherd (she is spade) Who is very happy and animal friendly

About: I’ve taken care of many doggies and kitties in my last 10 years. I can walk them, feed them (any allowed treats will be given), I can administer their medication. I also take care of kitties! I clean litter boxes, feed them, play with them and give them premium chin scratches! It fits perfectly. I love to create a routine with regular walks and form bonds with the kitties or puppies! I am not afraid of any breed, they are all puppies in my eyes. I make them as comfortable as possible, I treat them with respect and love. I always follow the directions provided by the owner to the letter!

About: I bring a strong foundation of trust, safety, and attentiveness from my background in law enforcement, along with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy, working breeds that require structure and engagement, to puppies needing patience and consistency, as well as older dogs who benefit from a calmer, attentive approach. I have experience with basic obedience reinforcement, leash handling, and reading canine behavior to ensure safe, positive interactions at all times. I’m also knowledgeable in pet safety and emergency awareness, with training that supports quick, calm decision-making if needed. As someone who prioritizes physical health and an active lifestyle, I enjoy providing dogs with the exercise, stimulation, and attention they need to stay happy and well-balanced. Whether your dog needs structured walks, playtime, or just reliable, loving care while you’re away, I’m confident and comfortable handling it all. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the day. I’m typically available from the early morning through the evening, with the most flexibility during daytime hours. Because my schedule is adaptable, I’m able to work around each pet’s individual routine—whether that means an early-morning walk, a midday check-in, feeding, playtime, or evening care. I’m open to adjusting my availability when needed and working with owners to find a schedule that best fits their pets’ needs. My goal is to make pet care feel consistent, reliable, and stress-free for both you and your pet while you’re away. As a former law enforcement officer, safety, responsibility, and trust have always been at the heart of what I do. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving both your pet and your home in someone else’s care—and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. When caring for your pet, I treat your home with the same respect and attention to detail I would expect in my own. I’m mindful of doors, gates, alarms, keys, access points, and anything else that helps keep your home secure while you’re away. I’m also attentive to your pet’s surroundings and routines to help prevent accidents, escapes, or anything that could put them at risk. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I take the time to understand their personality, routines, needs, and boundaries rather than treating every pet the same. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, needs extra patience, is shy around new people, or simply wants some companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they are. You can have peace of mind knowing that your pet is receiving attentive, dependable care—and that your home is being treated with the same level of respect and responsibility. I’m also happy to provide updates, photos, and communication throughout the visit so you never have to wonder how things are going. My goal is for you to feel confident and reassured from the moment you hand over the leash to the moment you walk back through your door.

“Gaolah was wonderful. She did a meet and greet without hesitation. I have a 15 year old dog that can’t stay in her crate for extended time so Faolah came two different times and let her out to potty stretch her legs get a drink and some food. She communicated well, did as I asked, good with Crickett. I will cerise her again!”

“Emily was wonderful with our kitty Rain. She was patient with her, as Rain is nervous in new environments and allowed her to move at her own pace.”

“Trinity was wonderful with our aging cat.”

About: I lived with 2 cats for a majority of my life. I have experience watching animals for family and friends, looking to meet new best friends. I am currently working full time and going to school part time to earn my master’s degree. Looking for a fun side job to keep life interesting. I am open to having the animals out in the open or crated when not around. Would love to have a yard to play with animals, but not opposed to going to local parks.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. Currently, I have two dogs (Great Pyrenees and pitbull) and two cats. I have experience giving medication (pill and liquid format), as well as giving insulin, and even subcutaneous IV fluids. Because my dogs are so big, you bet I’ll be able to walk your dog(s) no matter their size! I love going to dog parks or just chilling on the couch for some cuddles. I also have experience with spicier critters who just need a little time and space. No matter how big or small, how old or young, I’ll take the best care of your babies. I work from home with a flexible schedule so popping over for play/potty breaks or house sitting for you during the work week is no problem. I’m available 5pm onwards and on weekends for sitting or more extensive care. I am flexible with my availability. I am very good at following any instructions you have for your fur baby when I come to your house. Anything you need me to do I’ll do it. The best possible feeling is knowing your animals are in good, safe hands when you’re not available to take care of them yourself and I promise to deliver.

About: Hi, my name is Mark. I love meeting people's pets of all kinds. I have been caring for animals since I was a child. I also have a master's degree in behavioral science. My combination of lived experience and knowledge of behavioral science uniquely equips me to care for your animals in a kind and gentle manner, while still being responsible and reliable. These skills prepare me to help relax and de-escalate with anxious animals. I have a job which is flexible with my schedule, including working from home and choosing my own hours, which allows me more time with pets! I have a back yard with a fence that my senior dog can play in, as well as many parks nearby my home in Roseville.

“Briana was amazing! She took great care of our two pups while we were out of town and sent picture updates. She is so sweet and great to work with!”

About: I've been taking care of people's cats and dogs alike ever since I was a teenager around the Edina neighborhood. I moved to Woodbury around 2019 where I adopted a cat. I grew up with dogs but I've wanted a cat too so now I'd say I'm proficient with both cats and dogs. I work part-time. I have flexible schedule on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.so I'm pretty much available all day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I'm available to stay overnight if that is a need for the pet. I always make sure to establish trust between myself and the pet and the pet parent. I also understand animals need time to adjust to new people and every animal is different. Some also need more space to adjust and I'm that person that will give the time and space the animal needs.

“Alexandria was awesome! She was very responsive and made sure to send pictures and updates upon visiting. Both my cats seemed very mellow and relaxed when I returned! They were very well taken care of. Would 100% recommend!”
