Cat Sitting in Minden

“Wilma is a fantastic pet sitter! She cared for our 2 kitties again and took excellent care of them! She is very precise, and makes sure things are done to your liking. She’s also very sweet and really loves animals. Great communicator, too and takes great pics so you’ll always know exactly how your fur babies are doing! I highly recommended Wilma!”

“Emily made sure to check in on our kitties even when the roads were iced over. We can't thank her enough for her commitment to our kitties well being!”

About: I’ve had pets of my own for the last ten years, and I’ve also spent years pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors , so I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry loved ones in someone else’s care. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family, with the same love, attention, and consistency I give my own. Whether it’s a playful puppy full of energy, a senior pet who needs a gentler touch, or a shy cat who just needs a calm companion, I take time to learn each animal’s unique personality and routine. I’m prone to sending daily photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and commitment to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. From long walks to cozy cuddles, I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins throughout the work week, and I’m home and fully available on weekends for drop-ins, walks, or extended care. I make it a priority to give each pet quality time, attention, and care — whether that’s a quick walk, playtime, or some extra cuddles before bedtime. Your pet’s comfort and routine always come first! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or stopping by for check-ins, I make sure they’re in a calm, familiar environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I do my best to follow your pet’s normal routine — from feeding schedules to walk times — and pay close attention to any special instructions you provide. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes for security, and I take extra care with pets who are shy, curious, or still learning boundaries. You can count on me to treat your home with the same respect and care I give your pet. I’ll keep things tidy, provide photo updates, and make sure your furry friend feels loved and cared for while you’re away.

“Dawn did a great job taking car of Snow and Worm. They had plenty of food and water and the kitty litter box was cleaned each day. Dawn unfortunately did not see the cats as they run and hide when new people come to the house. I would definitely have her back the next time I need to be gone for a few days. I definitely recommend Dawn when you need these kind of services.”

About: What sets me apart from other animal sitters is my deep understanding of pets at every life stage from playful puppies to sweet senior animals and my calm, patient approach to care. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all temperaments and sizes, and I tailor my care to meet each animal’s unique needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I build my schedule around the animals in my care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I’m reliable and consistent. I keep a flexible calendar to accommodate everything from quick drop-ins to longer stays, and I always make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and comfort they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I give the pets. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding and walk routines to any house rules like crating, restricted areas, or medication needs. I always keep the environment clean, calm, and safe locking doors, checking gates, and making sure pets are never left unattended in risky situations.

“Amanda was great! We booked her last minute over the holidays and she was very responsive and took great care of our cats (and our house during a deep freeze!). Highly recommend!”

“Morgahn helped us out last minute and took great care of our two kitties. She’s very friendly and dedicated to helping animals. Would book again :)”

About: I've had labs, mutts, cats, and even a tarantula in my years of owning pets! I can bathe if they get dirty, and have notoriously been called a cat whisperer by my friends. There's very little that could happen to gross me out or put me off from a pet. To me your pet is a loved family member and I treat them with the respect they deserve! I currently am only doing occasion drives for Uber and Lyft. The amount of time I have is open and can be easily worked around whatever schedules you need! I'm very good about messaging back in a timely manner and marking on calendars ahead of time when I would be unavailable. The only real requirement is if I stay overnight I have to run home at least once a day to feed and care for my own pets! First and foremost I do require meeting a pet before any sitting/checking and walking take place. As a stranger to your pets it’s best they see me when you are present first to make both them and myself more comfortable. I believe in being upfront with people in every way so I also must insist on being told if there are cameras or alarms on the property! No one likes to be jumpscared with those! Also if you have people who come by or have access to the property let me know, so I can let them in. (pest control, cleaning service, etc)I like having a list of what pets need and their preferences; as well as a good vet's number and location on file. I read instructions thoroughly and follow them to a T! I don't cave to begging if they aren't allowed! If provided I will follow training guidelines that you've set to the best of my ability. (for example you're working on no barking, I will also discourage barking!) I unfortunately must say as well any dog bigger than an average labrador(i.e. 70ish pounds) must be at least heel trained if I am to walk them safely; otherwise I will exercise them thoroughly outside instead. I am tiny, and large dogs don’t mesh well with that when untrained! So it's for the best! Please let me know ahead of time what level of communication you’d prefer when away, whether daily or only emergencies! I can take nice photos too, and will only put them on the profile with express permission. I also would prefer but am not required to have a list of their preferred schedule and feeding amounts. Pets are most comfortable when they can stick to a routine. Especially since a stranger in the house is already new! And last but not least if your pet has any quirks or history I’d like to be informed! For example an elderly dog that is kinda grumpy. Or hot spots, sensitive skin, lumps, allergies, bite history, etc.

About: I have experience with dogs and cats my entire life. Have always been a huge animal lover. I have a 1 1/2 year old cat that keeps me on my toes and my roommate has a 6 year old blue pit (the son of my late Pit) and she also has a 1 year old miniature dachshund. Experienced with young to senior pets. I also have had years of experience with ferrets and birds! No animal will go unloved! I have a part time job, so plenty of time for fetch, walks, or simply loving on your animals. I’m good with overnight stays and even administering medicine if needed. I have crating experience as well as yard/no yard. I’m experienced with cleaning cages as well! My pets love a good porch sit and I love sitting with them. Not to mention the ample amount of toys!

About: I’m Erika, currently serving in the U.S. Air Force. I’m an avid animal lover and share my home with three dogs and five cats. We also enjoy feeding the local wildlife, including squirrels, hummingbirds, and the occasional stray. I’m offering pet care services in my free time to earn extra income while spending time with animals that already miss their pet parents. I’m doing pet care on the side to make a bit of extra cash — and there’s no better way than spending that time with animals who could use some extra love. I’ve cared for pets for more than 20 years and am deeply committed to their well‑being. For the past five years I’ve also fostered dogs and cats, providing them with love, socialization, and temporary homes.

“Kierston was great! Responded quickly to my messages and kept me updated with pics of my pets! I very much recommend her!”

About: I have 4 dogs of my own and one cat. I have cared for pets as long as I can remember. My dogs are all house trained and crate trained they also are well mannered and like other pets. I can house train and also train dogs to do certain tricks. I'm 27 years old and own my own home with a large fenced in back yard. There is only one other person living in my home and they are only home after 5 pm. My house has no carpet so accidental pet messes can be cleaned easily. I have my own transportation to house sit or dog walk any time I am needed. Thank you for considering me for taking care of your pets I currently work full time split shifts so I can take care of animals between shifts before shifts and after shifts. I have reliable transportation to and from also I have a large fenced in back yard and I currently work in the animal field so I am trained on medication management and also have vet tech experience.

About: I've been around dogs since childhood, but my two sweet dogs have come into my life in the last few years. Both rescues from different situations, they have taught me so much about how to adapt my care to their specific needs. Feeding times are no problem, as are bathroom breaks and time outside. I'm able to administer medicine as needed. The only limit that I have as far as pet care goes is that I cannot walk larger dogs due to a spinal disability. I can, however, manage dog walks on the small-medium size. I hope that I fit your pet sitter needs and can make friends with your doggo! I work part time in a leadership position in a retail store. My shift are typically in the middle of the day but generally do not last more than 6 hours. I am able to drop in and provide care as needed and stay at a client's house full time on my off days. I have a fenced in backyard that my dogs are free to run around and play in. They never go anywhere without their harnesses and leashes. My cats are indoors only, though sometimes I may take them on the patio if it's sunny out. This is generally the standard I apply to any animal I'm caring for, so that they're in my sight as much as possible.

About: I have taken care of my families pets, and my neighbors pets since I was 13 years old. Everyone and my neighborhood trusted me to go and feed their fur babies and if need to be, take them for a walk. I am currently working part time, as a certified nursing assistant. So I have very flexible hours and I’m willing to work with your schedule. If your fur baby will be boarding with me, I have one loving dog they can play with and/or I have two very playful cats and a variety of space where they can play.
