Cat Sitting Minnehaha

“Mandi is the best! My cat had a little accident and she was quick to take care of it. I feel much better knowing Mandi is my go-to person to check in on my cat! She’s great!”

“Took excellent care of our cats, including giving medicine, and went above and beyond (she unloaded our meal prep box!!). Communication was excellent. Will absolutely hire again.”

“Steele took great care of Momo! We know that Mo can be a bit of a handful but he warmed up to Steele quickly and became best friends!”

“Absolute angel. Ananda is super attentive and sweet with my kitty girls, even the spicy one and was flexible with my travel plans and very communicative during each visit. Plus she sent me pictures of my sweet baby floofs when I was missing them. Absolutely recommend and will be using her again.”

“Lexi was great! She helped us take very good care of Imo while we were traveling during the holidays. She was on time and great with our instructions and communications. Our cat Imo really liked her and enjoyed playing with her. She also took many cute photos of Imo :) Really appreciate your help last minute. Thank you!”

“Sammy was so understanding and patient with my anxious foster cat while I was gone for two weeks! She was communicative, respectful and reliable. Thank you so much Sammy!”

“Ana is truly wonderful. She immediately presents with a calm friendly trustworthy manner. I sought her out for her medical training for help and suggestions with a cat that needs injections. It was hard to filter that out in search paarmeters but I really lucked out coming across Ana. She was very sweet with my dog and two cats and listened empathically to each of my pets needs and requirements. I look forward to working with her further on. I travel a lot and my pets needs are particular, I don't trust many with my pets, especially my dog. I feel confident my pets will be safe and well cared for with her.”

About: I’ve spent much of my life caring for animals of all kinds, including dogs, many cats, and other pets! I grew up with an Australian Shepherd, whom I trained in basic obedience as well as agility-course tricks (although I am not a formally trained or certified dog trainer), and cats. More recently, I’ve pet-sat for the cats and dogs of family and friends. This has included caring for an older pet with mobility limitations and a pet with complex health needs and a medication schedule. I understand how important it is to follow an owner’s care instructions carefully, especially when medications or special routines are involved. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m happy to play, provide enrichment, groom, go for walks, or simply give plenty of attention and snuggles while their people are away. I’ve even walked cats! I’m detail-oriented and appreciate thorough care instructions. As a graduate researcher, I’m accustomed to following detailed protocols, keeping careful track of schedules, and paying close attention to small changes—skills I also bring to caring for animals. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re apart. As a graduate researcher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care throughout my day. My research schedule varies from week to week, but I keep my Rover calendar up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can reliably accommodate. For house sitting, I’m able to spend mornings, evenings, and overnight with your pets while working around my university responsibilities during the day. Because much of my academic work can be done on my laptop, I can often study, read, or write from your home while keeping your pets company. For drop-in visits, I plan visits around my daily schedule and make sure I have enough time to provide attentive care rather than rushing through a visit. I appreciate having a few days of advance notice whenever possible so I can plan my schedule around your pet’s routine and care needs. I know that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big responsibility. I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine and the instructions you provide, including feeding, medications, walks, litter-box care, and any household or safety precautions. I’m detail-oriented and genuinely appreciate thorough written instructions, especially for pets with medical needs or established routines. Before caring for a new pet, I like to learn about their personality, normal behavior, feeding and bathroom habits, medications or health concerns, and anything that might frighten or trigger them. For dogs, I also want to know about leash behavior and how they respond to other dogs, people, wildlife, and unfamiliar situations. I respect each animal’s boundaries and won’t force interaction with a pet who is frightened or wants space. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, drinking, bathroom habits, or mobility and will communicate with you promptly if something seems unusual. In an emergency, I will follow your emergency-care instructions and contact you and/or your designated veterinarian as appropriate. When house sitting or providing drop-in care, I treat your home respectfully and make sure doors, gates, and other entry points are secured when I enter or leave. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away.

“Styler has been an amazing sitter for my kitty. I love how she always keeps me up to date with pics and other details about how my cat is doing. And I always come back to a happy cat! I will definitely be requesting for her services again.”

Roshini M.

“Jenny dropped in to visit my kitty while I was gone and normally cautious Simba warmed up to her immediately! Next time I'm on vacation I won't hesitate to contact Jenny :)”

“Annika was so helpful with our cats/home. She went above and beyond! We would definitely recommend her to care for your home/animals.”

Hannah M.

“Rachel was so great with my cat, Tiger. I could tell Tiger was loved and cared for when I was away on a long trip. She did a great job of following the detailed instructions I left and even stayed with Tiger for a bit longer than she needed to 🥹 Tiger was so happy to see me but I knew he appreciated having Rachel around.”

Nicole C.

“Rebekah was kind, prompt and adaptive. She was so sweet and caring for our pups and really went the extra mile with communication. Highly recommend.”

David W.

“Tayla was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure our cat was taken care of when we were out of town! She spent extra time and attention to make sure that our cat was comfortable and eating after a fire alarm went off. I can’t recommend her enough!”

Alex B.

“Maxwell is a lovely sitter and followed all directions I provided! They have a lovely presence and my cats warmed up to him quickly. I was also thrilled to come home and see that without being asked, he put on “cat tv” on YouTube after seeing that it was on for the cats when he arrived. How thoughtful!”

About: With experience at Southwest Washington Humane Society caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, as well as working at Claus Paws Animal Hospital where I took puppies out for potty breaks (and got showered in puppy kisses!), I have a strong background in animal care. Growing up with 5 dogs, 3 cats, and a rabbit, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I also have hands-on experience with senior pets, managing diabetes, and administering medication, both for my own animals and others’. I’m excited to bring my love for animals and practical experience to pet sitting, offering reliable, compassionate care for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’d love the opportunity to be your pet’s new best friend! I’m currently available to take care of all your pet’s needs—whether it’s walks, treats, or check-ins, I’ve got it covered! I’ll keep you updated with photos of our adventures so you can rest easy knowing your pets are in great hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends with their adorable toe beans! When caring for your pet at home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I make sure the environment is secure, check that all supplies are ready, and keep an eye out for any hazards. I stick to your pet's routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’ll send updates and photos so you can relax, knowing your pet is well cared for. Most importantly, I build trust with both you and your pet to ensure peace of mind while you're away.

“Zahara did great with my kitten Earl Grey! He’s pretty nosy and active and she did a perfect job keeping him entertained and happy. We compromised well on his feeding schedule and her work schedule too. Earl LOVED having her he was always snuggly, playful, and happy in the photos!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats, both as a pet owner and as a trusted sitter for family and friends. I’ve personally owned high-drive, strong-willed breeds, so I understand the patience, consistency, exercise, and structure they need to thrive. I’ve also had cats my entire life and truly understand their unique personalities and needs. What sets me apart is that I don’t just care for pets—I take the time to understand each animal individually and treat them like they’re my own. I’m currently working for Vancouver Public Schools so I will have plenty of time for walks at 3:00pm or later, or house sitting! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. When caring for your pets in their home, I make sure they stay in a familiar, comfortable environment while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to your pet’s needs, and committed to providing reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
