Cat Sitting Houlton

“Brandy took excellent care of our two cats!! She sent detailed updates of how they were doing and lots of pictures. I think our two cats were a bit in love with her by the time we got home!! Our house was also left very clean. We would 100% hire her again when we travel.”

“Leann was able to help us out with unexpected increased care needs right before a trip. She communicated very quickly and took wonderful care of our kitties!”

“Vanessa is a true cat-lover and our cat was comfortable with her from the first time they met. She took excellent care of him while we were away on vacation, followed directions, and I would highly recommend her to other cat parents.”

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.

“Friendly. Came over for a visit beforehand for his drop ins. Took notes on where things were and everything. My boys gets so excited to see him.”

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. Our family animals (dog, cats, goats, Guinea pigs, birds, lizards, and a pony) fostered my lifelong love of animals. As a dog sitter, I have experience working with many different breeds and personalities. I have worked at a cruelty-free animal shelter, where I walked dogs, provided playtime, and helped take care of their living spaces. I have experience dog sitting in my home and understand the importance of helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. When your dog is with me, they will receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I am happy to take your dog on walks as often as needed and look forward to having a companion to play and cuddle with. On days I am not at school, I am at home, which allows me to give your dog my full attention throughout the day. I genuinely care about making every dog feel happy, comfortable, and secure, and I will treat yours as if they were my own! I am currently a doctoral student studying Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine and my schedule allows me to provide pet care throughout the week. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I am on campus for part of the day, and Thursday through Monday I study from home, which gives me the availability to provide your pets with plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. I live in a house with my parents. The upstairs level is my dedicated living space, which includes a bedroom, bathroom, and a living room area. Your pet will spend their time in this space with me! My parents have a cat that lives downstairs. They will not be living in the same space. We live on 4 acres, providing ample outdoor space for play, exploration, and exercise. We are located on rural road, which is great for long walks. When caring for pets, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions you provide.

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: I have been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a high-energy English Springer Spaniel and was lucky enough to spend 16 wonderful years with him. I am also a proud cat mom of two and truly love animals of all kinds! In addition to regularly pet sitting for friends and family, I have experience caring for senior pets and animals with special needs. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, medication schedules, mobility considerations, and providing extra comfort and attention when needed. Through caring for aging pets of my own and others, I have become comfortable recognizing changes in behavior and adapting care to meet each pet's individual needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. Whether your pet is young and energetic, shy and anxious, senior, or requires extra support, I strive to provide the same level of care, love, and attention that I would want for my own pets. I set my own work schedule and currently work remotely on Wednesdays and Fridays. On the days I go into the office, I am home by 4:00 PM at the latest and can make adjustments to my schedule as needed. I also spend most weekends at home, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care to any animals in my care! I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by their owner. I understand that consistency is important, so I do my best to maintain the routines pets are used to. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision and attention. Pets are never left unattended for extended periods, and I carefully monitor introductions between animals when applicable. I make sure pets have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and appropriate enrichment throughout the day. I also have a fenced-in yard that allows for energy to be shed! When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home. I follow all care instructions closely, provide regular updates and photos, and ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while their family is away. My goal is to create a stress-free experience where pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and where owners feel confident knowing their pets are in good hands.

“Camryn did a great job taking care of our kitty while also dragging into the house a bunch of packages (one of which was over 20 pounds) that of course had to show up while we were out of town. Thanks Camryn!!”

About: I am an energetic person and love to work with animals outside. I do enjoy walks with them, and I got to work on a dude ranch a few years ago! Animals were always around! I love to engage with pets and keep them engaged till they are ready to relax. I am a full-time archaeologist, but I have time when I'm not traveling for work in the afternoons. I am looking to take on some extra work and get to care for some pets! I can't have a cat or dog due to my travel, but I love to be around them. I love to play with cats and dogs whenever I care for them. I give them the time they need to get used to me, and play more when they want to be near me or give them as many pets as they request. I am huge on getting dogs outside and getting their energy out.

About: I've taken care of all sorts of animals from rabbits, cats, dogs, lizards and rats. I love almost every kind of animal and would love to experience them in full. I have taken care of senior animals in their last leg of life, almost like a pet hospice. Everyone deserves comfort and love. I have 2 cats myself, with my family. We all take turns and take time to care for the animals. They are like family to us, so its just kind of second nature to add them into our schedules. I have mentioned my family in certain bio points, but it will be just me showing up for you and your pets. In the client's home I would prefer a list of how you like your animal cared for as everyone has different schedules, but I would try to keep myself and your pets to your schedule. I know that structure can really help some people, and I know some loose reigns help others. So just give me a heads up for what you need and I will fit my style accordingly. I would like to point out that it will be just me taking care of your pets, I have mentioned my family in certain bio points, but it will be just me showing up for you.

About: I have a bachelors degree in animal conservation and marine biology. I also grew up with both cats and dogs, as well as rodents, fish, and lizards.

I'm currently available for boarding 7 days a week. I'm never away from my apartment for long and will dedicate all of my time to caring for your pet! I live in a safe apartment and area that's pet friendly! I don't have any cats/dogs, just a friendly leopard gecko! I also don't leave food laying around and pets are allowed on my furniture!

“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!”

About: Hi! I’m Danielle, and I’d love to care for your cat while you’re away. I’m a millennial, born and raised in Florida, but I’ve lived in Minnesota for a decade. I’m a devoted cat owner to my sweet boy, Maverick, for over 10 years. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to take care of your kitty. I am very gentle, kind, and great with cats of all breeds! I provide calm and attentive care while following your instructions closely. During each visit I’ll provide fresh food, water, clean the litter box, offer playtime, and companionship. My schedule is very flexible and I'm available most days to care for your pet — especially during the late morning, afternoon, and early part of the evening. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about what days and times you'd like to book with me. I have a cat in my home that is shy around other animals, so I am not able to offer animal services in my home at this time. But I am happy to offer drop-in visits at your home and make sure your pet is well taken care of while you are away!

“Emily took great care of our cat, Pumpkin, and provided lots of details and pictures from each visit. The two seemed to get along great and Emily communicated clearly and frequently throughout the weekend.”
