Cat Sitting Martin Lake

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.

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.

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.

About: I’ve had pets (dogs and cats) my entire life, and they’ve always been family.

I’m very flexible with coming and going or simple taking them on walks. I love to take my own dogs on walk and runs as well!

The daily updates were mandatory daily reading for us while we were away and the pictures assured us that he was well taken care of. Can't say enough good things about Lauren. She made my first time booking this kind of a service a breeze. We would definitely not hesitate is booking her again and hope that she is available when me and my daughters go on our next adventure. Thanks again Lauren for everything!!”

About: My name is Corrie and I love animals, I have 2 cats, 2 dogs and 2 kids. They mean so much to me. I have a passion for caring for animals of all kinds. I love going for walks with my dogs. I have a big yard that's 2.5 acres and we roam around the whole thing. Some of it's long grass so I will check for ticks. I cut or file my own dogs nails as well and can offer that if needed depending how well the dog or cat does. I work full time but work from home some days of the week, Wednesdays and Fridays. We are available in evenings and weekends. Especially in the winter. We have a large yard. Most of the time we let the dogs out on a 50 foot leash for quick potty breaks. Rocky is allowed to roam a little. Otherwise we walk the dogs around the yard or neighborhood. Have a large crate when needed.

About: We grew up with pets and we have a pet loving family. We have a German wirehair pointer dog, cat and raise rabbits for showing. We also volunteer at a local goat farm and help take care of goats. I work full time out of the home, Monday-Friday, so your dog will be kenneled while we are at work. Unless it’s summer or holiday then my schedule may be different. I will do morning walks and night walks and playtime outside after and before work. We have an unfenced large yard so your pet will be leashed for playtime. We have a nice larger private backyard so plenty of space for exercise.

“I just love April and how she takes care of my cat! I’m so glad I found her. She has cats also so she always tries different fun things with my cat. I like that. And if I didn’t want April all to myself I would tell everyone to hire her for their pets…! She is great!”

About: I’ve grown up with having both cats and dogs of my own my entire life so I know the proper way to care for them. I understand both the needs of animals and how to tend to those specific needs. I love all kinds of animals and spending time with them so much that I would love to go into some type of career where I can be around them and care for them. I’ve always had positive experiences when around animals and have never had any problems being able to connect with them. I would prefer walking smaller dogs but have no problem sitting both large and small dogs/ any size dog. I would also be happy to take care of and watch cats also.

About: I have raised several dogs from the time they were puppies. I have done obedience training with all of them. I truly enjoy the loyal companionship of a dog. I am currently on SSDI, so I am retired. I do have a karaoke DJ business, but that usually only takes me away one or two nights a month. I currently have a French bulldog who is fixed and he is very friendly with other dogs. I also have two cats, but I have the ability to separate them from the rest of the house.

“Thanks”

About: My passion is to work with animals, i’ve been a dog walker, pet care technician, and i am currently a dog groomer. I think my best skill is being patient and calm with scared or reactive dogs and making them feel comfortable and happy. I’m currently working part time as a dog groomer and pet care technician. I would love to spend my weekends caring for your fur babies and bringing them for walks I have 5 indoor cats and 3 bunnies at home. I love all kinds of pets and i am not easily scared by reactive dogs. I will take as much time as needed for your pet to feel safe and comfortable with me.

About: I am a single mom, who enjoys animals just about as much as I love children. My son loves taking dogs for walks and helping me care for them. It teaches him about responsibility, integrity, and so much more.. Plus we get to play with many different animals and who doesn't love that! I enjoy all breeds of dog whether they are large or small as long as they're friendly with children. I am very professional, and respectful of people, their homes and their pets and have never gotten a bad review from any customer that I've ever had. I always go the extra mile to make the customer and the pet feel as comfortable as possible because it's hard to leave a pet, and also hard for a pet when the owner leaves.
