Pet Sitting in Mahtomedi

“Rylan did a terrific job taking care of our cat with a week of drop-in visits while we were on vacation. Rylan did an excellent job of providing daily updates and photos, and also brought our mail in, put the garbage cans out, etc. it is apparent that Rylan has a real love of animals, and it helped knowing that our little guy was well cared for while we were away.”

“Julie is exactly what we were looking for in a sitter for for our cat, Lucy. She gave us photos and updates daily so we felt she was being taken care of very well! It’s so hard to leave your pet home but having Julie there made it easier.”

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.

“Kaitlin is a life saver for our sensitive yet energetic girl, taking extra care to make her feel safe and loved. Kaitlin is one of the few people we trust to care for Pearl. Thank you Kaitlin!”

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.

“Gavin took great care of our two pugs!”

“Joel provided an amazing drop-in service for us twice daily for 6 days for our 4 senior Dachshunds. He communicated with us each time he stopped by and sent pictures of the pups eating, getting some outdoor play time and settling down for naps until his next visit. They truly bonded with him because he gave them the kind of attention they crave—food, belly rubs and back scratches. One of the pups is blind and he helped her up and down the steps to walk in the grass. We could enjoy our trip knowing our pups were getting great care and attention while their needs were being met. Very satisfied with the job Joel did for us!!”

“So thankful for Theresa! She took such great care of Sunshine while we were away. I highly recommend Theresa and will definitely use her again ;)”

“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.”

“Hanna was so fantastic!! Moose loved her so much and she even left little dog cookies after, which was such a nice surprise and so thoughtful!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication and patience. I have taken care of dogs ranging from 2 years or to 17 years old. I have experience with older dog and having to clean up accidents as well. I currently have a full time job that I work from 8:30-5pm Monday-Thursday, 9-3 on Fridays. With early communication I am willing to make adjustments to accommodate if it makes sense. I would prefer to watch your pet in their environment. I think it helps them feel more comfortable with me and being in a space they know.

“Kiana was so kind and patient with my dog, and very punctual! 10/10 would recommend”

About: I have always had dogs and am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and size. I can give your dogs medications and help with training basic commands. I work full time 6am-2:30pm Monday-Friday then one weekend a month. I typically go to the gym most days for about an hour otherwise am home outside of work hours. I will work with your established routine and care for your pets. I think it’s important to maintain their normal as much as possible.

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.

“Emma did a great job working with my puppy Paddy during her drop in visits. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures! Will use her in the future!”

“Thank you for dropping by and caring for our cat while we were away! Communication was so easy and I appreciated the pictures everyday! It was so good to know he was well cared for. Thank you!”

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.
