Cat Sitting in Frederic

“Took great care of our pets and followed all the instructions we had left for both the animals and the house while we were gone. Great communication and sent lots of pictures and updates. Left the house exactly as we left it!”

About: I grew up in an animal loving family and now want to offer my services to other animal lovers! We have had many foster dogs and puppies. I have gone through the potty/leash training phase many times. I also have experience with farm animals as well as kitties! Typically I walk our dogs every other day. I have a fenced yard for playtime and potty breaks during the day. I am going back to school in the Fall and will have a much more flexible schedule during the week and weekends. In our home, the dogs are allowed on the furniture. They sleep in the bed, but our female is crated during the day as she has liked to chew on more than toys in the past. I have a fenced yard and a nice neighborhood for walks. My fiancé lives with me, but it would be just me that is in care of the animals.

About: I’ve worked at multiple doggy day cares near Forest Lake MN and I have 2 dogs of my own! I love all animals and treat them like my own! I’m a college student who needs to make more money than what I’m currently making and I’m pretty available Monday through Friday depending on the times! My dogs are walked everyday and played with all the time! I understand the time it takes to care for a dog or cat and so I’m very patient with them.

“Alec and Buddha did a great job taking care of our babies while we were gone. I felt completely comfortable having them at the house alone knowing he was going to be there twice a day to play with them and feed them. I never had to worry that they were in good hands. Alec was reliable and went above and beyond to even report on packages being delivered, etc. I will definitely use him again!”

About: I have a small hobby farm where I take care of animals off all ages and sizes. I work remotely from home (although I’ve got the ability to travel) so I have time to frequently check on everyone and administer food and meds on a regular basis. Although I only have a partially fenced yard, I have plenty of leader lines and leashes available for potty breaks and exercise. I currently have two dogs and a cat that live in the house with me and are very friendly with other dogs. I have plenty of room for crates if your dog prefers to sleep in a crate, and room for doggy beds if they are particular about where they sleep. I’m also willing to pet sit/farm sit locally if your furry friends would prefer to stay home. I work remotely Monday-Friday. I usually work at home, but I have the ability to work anywhere there is an internet connection if you would prefer an in-home sitter. Working remote gives me the chance to be home all day where I can do potty breaks for my dogs and check on my farm animals. It also allows me to be available if there’s any special requests such as medication and specific feeding times. My cat is a “one cat” kind of guy (we’ll work on that), so for now, I would only feel comfortable hosting dogs ay my house. However, I am available to pet sit in-home for cats or dogs that might feel more comfortable at home. I’m very comfortable giving meds and sticking to a strict feeding schedule if your animal has medical/dietary needs. I’ve seen (almost) everything, so don’t feel like you’re asking too much!

“Jacob did amazing with our three dogs. He came over a week before to meet us and the dogs to learn there routines and personalities. Him and his wife had such patience with our more nervous dog to make sure he felt comfortable around these new people taking care of him.”

About: I am very patient and absolutely love all animals. I worked at a vet clinic before I moved so i know how to handle if an animal gets scared or stressed. I currently work full time. I usually get off pretty early in the morning so anytime after 12pm I am available to provide dog walks. I am not currently offering boarding situations. I have a dog and a cat, my cat doesn’t like no animals into her house so she gets very upset.

About: I do walking, snuggles, feed them, potty breaks and lots of play time! I do have a pet myself, but she stays home. I trained her all by myself. I taught her not to bark, lick the face, sit shake, stay fetch, and to love people. I'm a easy going person and I'm a animal lover myself! I hope to hear from you. I can start as soon as possible. You can also reach me at 7I also animal sit for my family and friends all the time. If you have any questions please feel free to call or text me. Thank you, Jenny M.

About: I have taken care of Cats, Dogs, and Horses from the age of 11-current(32). I'm a the go-to family member/friend for any and all pet/house sitting needs.(This excludes lawnmowing or grand snow removal tasks.) Animals have been a passion of mine as long as I can remember. Their health and happiness is top priority. As I have over 5 years experience managing diabetes for my cat Dasher(who has now passed due to cancer). He had to get his blood tested then injected twice a day with insulin. Feel free to ask about this, as I am more than happy to provide this service. I'm currently available 30+ hours a week. After the month of April 2023 & One week in July 2023. Mondays-Saturdays.(Sundays can be available for medical purposes only, such as diabetes injects.) I can be present at the home starting at 10AM - 4PM, but this time can be flexible, if needed for the welfare of the pet & pet parent. Taking care of an animal is half knowing yourself/your limits and half knowing the animal itself. Whether that be by knowing their body language, psychology, habits, etc. AKA being prepared. However, another large part of taking care of animals is knowing what type of energy you are brining to the table. Animals respond well genuine love/care and that is what I will bring to every encounter with a new furry friend.

About: I've had dogs and cats all my life. I am the type to keep my dogs active whether it be playing fetch in the yard or throwing the stick in the lake for them to fetch. I believe in lots of play toys and chewys so they never get bored. I also understand the dog who might be more calm, maybe a little shy and likes time alone, and that is very understandable. I am a retired nurse and know pretty well the signs and symptoms of pain or discomfort. I understand the importance of proper nutrition and availability of fresh water. I lost my 14 yr. old lab to old age 2 years ago, and just recently got a new yellow lab puppy here in March. I really missed having a travel companion! I'm a unique pet/house sitter in that I travel in my beautiful Canadian Roadtrek Campervan and can house "watch" while taking care of your pets. I do not need to stay in your home. Any additional duties other than "watch" your house can be negotiated- like water a few houseplants, etc. I do ask that you provide a household electric (120V) outside plug in. My small RV uses approx. $2-$3 per day of electricity. I love animals. I have a yellow Labrador myself! I travel often in my RV and we make great travel partners often stopping at dog parks 2-3 times a day on our adventures. Beau would love to have playmates! I can only provide mobile pet/house sitting. I am unable to pet sit in the home I live in. I am a recently retired nurse. I am trained not only in human CPR, but I also have dog and cat CPR training. I have given pets medication, induced vomiting -per instructions while on the phone with a vet tech (after dog ate 1 1/2 lbs of bing cherries - pits and all. Happy ending! :). When I go into a home I find myself scanning countertops and floors for potential hazards for pets - things like medications, foods, hot boiling water on stovetop with handles pointing out, etc... I am constantly monitoring for potential dangers. Sometimes things happen though, unfortunately, that can't be avoided and that's when first aid, CPR, poison control line, and Vet info should all be available and handy. I ask that all instructions be written down and text/emailed to me 24 hours prior. That way if I have any questions, they can be answered before you leave on your relaxing worry-free vacation!

About: I’ve always had dogs in my home. A few kittys too. Everyone has relied on me to help with their fur babies throughout my life. I’m a stay at home mom of a 5 year old. We have 3 dogs a large yard plus. I’m up early with my kiddo and doggos we walk after breakfast about .5 miles. We play in the yard/property. We hang by the garden. We do training and baths/grooming as needed. We being me my kiddo and my doggos. My pup sleeps in a crate. We feed twice a day, have water inside and out. Walks are on a leash. My adult dog sleeps in bed with me. If your pup stays the night they will need a crate or ok on the couch. We do have space for crates and a guest room if they need personal space.

About: I have had dogs for 5 years and recently added a cat to the bunch! I love spending time with them by walking them on our large property! I work 7:30-3:30 as a school teacher, but my husband leaves around 9am on the weekdays. I spend every minute after that with my pets! I will care for the pets in whichever way is preferred by their owner. We have a large yard that is far away from a busy street.

About: Since childhood, I have always had a special connection with animals, always drawn to them. I have cared for cats, dogs, and other small critters since I can remember. I am now the proud owner of 4 large dogs, 5 cats, a lionhead rabbit, and fish. I also have experience working as a vet assistant for the last five years and have a keen eye for paying attention to the needs of our beloved fur babies. Along with experience, I am obtaining a certification as a veterinary technician, just completing my first year of a two-year program. I am currently a full-time college student, free for the summer, and have plenty of flexibility. Don't be afraid to reach out! I love animals! I stick to schedule feedings, potty breaks, and routines set by owners. Bonus: I will provide lots of belly rubs, attention, and treats if allowed.
