Cat Sitting Grant

“Rylan is an exceptional pet sitter. We have two very skittish cats, one of whom is nearly feral, and she took gentle care not to spook them. She also handled unique litter box issues without batting an eye. She is intelligent, anticipates needs, and highly responsible. I wish I could give her ten stars in this app!”

“Gavin took great care of our dog, Luna, and my brother’s dog, Ike, over the holiday weekend. He was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated with photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups and would gladly book with Gavin again. Highly recommend! 🐾”

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.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I've taken them through multiple levels of training including therapy dog training. I am a Registered Nurse working part time and I'd love to spend my extra time taking care of your much-loved pet! I currently work part time, which leaves me available for dog walks or drop-ins in the afternoon, boarding is available during the week, though I will be out of the house Mon-Fri 9:00 am-1:30 pm I have a large yard with no fence. We have a walking trail available at the end of our driveway where I can walk your dog when they stay at my house. I have one 2+yr old Labrador and one 8 yr-old boy. My dog is dog/cat friendly.

“Thank you so much again for coming by for our two furbabies. They must’ve loved you right away seeing how they both greeted you! You’re amazing!”

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.

“Katelyn was great with the animals. Keep me in the loop and handled what was needed”

About: Hi! My name is Allie and I've spent most of my life loving and caring for pets in multiple different environments over the years. I grew up with a bushel of miniature schnauzers, a few rodents and a snake. In college I took in a feral barn kitten and made her the talk of the university! After college, I spent 5-6 years working in a dog daycare facility which gave me experience with all different breeds and an immense amount of knowledge on behavior. After doggy daycare I moved on to working in a veterinary hospital which was an incredible resource and opportunity for me to increase me knowledge on medications as well as other medical knowledge. I would love to have the opportunity to spoil your pet as well as give you a safe space to leave your furry friend! Over the summer I am out of work and home with my pups and kids. In late August I will be headed back to work at a school nearby but working relatively short hours. We love to go on walks, to the dog park, the human park or just lounge in the back yard. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a large back yard. It is not fenced in but I do have a long line. I have a 12 year old pup who is a calm, unbothered queen and a year old pup who loves everyone and everything. In addition, I have 2 kiddos that are incredibly respectful of other pets space and will love your pets as much as their own however they can be crated if needed 😉

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.

“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’ve owned both dogs and cats. Experience with both. We lost our dog in March so our house is feeling empty right now and would love to have your fur baby over to keep us company. I am also available for walks or drop ins in the evenings and weekends. I currently work full time, usually 8-4. I can come home on my lunch break for potty breaks. I only work 7 mins from home. I do have a 7 year old daughter that is in the home as well. We have a fenced in yard that is great for dogs to run. We also have a lot of windows and bird feeders for cats to sit and watch the birdies.

About: I've taken care of dogs (housesitting and dog walking) ever since I was 10 years old. I have taken care of dogs anywhere from 9 weeks old to 17 years old. I have no problem giving medications or any special requests. I am currently in the middle of my senior year at Montana State University and am home for a bit this summer! I am extremely flexible, usually I end up going to the gym once a day, but don’t have any formal commitments! I do not have a home that I can bring dogs into, but I am more than willing to take care of dogs in your home, crating them, keeping them leashed (if necessary), and making any other modifications you may need.

“I can’t say enough about how wonderful Rachel is with ours dogs! They are both very particular about who they like and they both loved her right away. She is very reliable and was willing to take on the extra challenges with their health conditions. We’re so lucky we found her on Rover!”
