Cat Sitting in Minnehaha

“We left our Cat and Rabbit with Nicole for over a month while we had gone overseas. Based on a pre agreed schedule Nicole promptly came for a visit. She did all the chores for the pets and spent time with them. Both the pets were well looked after. I would gladly use Nicole again and would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”

“Felicia went *above* above and beyond with my skittish cat! She sent such nice updates and lots of photos, brought extra treats for my lil man, and experimented with different ways to engage him. He was having big trouble before my trip, as he’d recently lost his brother – so I was extremely worried about leaving him. Felicia took that to heart and loved on him as if he were her own. She must have a sixth cat sense, because my cat is very shy and skittish; despite that, he quickly became comfortable with her, and even endured a building-wide alarm test without any residual trauma upon my return. That speaks volumes about how Felicia put him at ease! I can’t recommend her as a cat sitter enough.”

“Claire has been excellent! Right now I’m using her every other week on a Tuesday. However, she has been extremely flexible and I’ve called her multiple times for same-day visits when we’ve been called into work or other arrangements have fallen through. The dogs love her! Her videos are awesome! I’ve only used her for dropping so far, but she’s gonna be my go to person next vacation.”

“Natalee took great care of both my dogs. She was always on time and provided great photos during check-ins. I would not hesitate to book with her again.”

I am experienced in all aspects of animal welfare from puppy training to administering senior dog medication and clipping cat nails.

I have my own animals at home I need to care for but between my wife and myself I have a flexible schedule and should be available whenever you need me. I'm experienced with all level of dog, cat, reptile, etc. care at all ages, including training. I can do multiple feeding a day, administer medication, walk, play, crate train, etc. I have an enclosed backyard in a quiet neighborhood that is safe for dogs of all sizes.

About: With over 15 years of hands-on dog care experience, We’ve fostered more than 20 dogs since 2020 and spent 3 years volunteering at a dog rescue, focusing on training, exercise, and support for both reactive and rescue dogs. We also have two cattle dogs and specialize in positive, consistent puppy training. We have two cats as well. I (Zach) work from home with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I'm happy to adapt to your pet's routine, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in your absence. I (Janexis) I'm a Teacher and I'm available after 4pm and weekends. One of dog required weekly shots, so we have experience administering injections. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we follow a structured, consistent routine tailored to each pet’s needs. We use positive reinforcement to build trust and encourage good behavior, always prioritizing your pet’s comfort and well-being. We're experienced with crate-trained dogs, but we’re also more than happy to share the couch or bed with your furry companion, just like home. Our goal is to maintain your pet’s routine while providing a loving, stress-free environment in your absence.

About: I've raised my mini Australian Sheperd, Piko, since she was a puppy. I've petsat for neighbors multiple times in the past, and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and even birds. I currently have open availability any day of the week, and am eager to work anytime with you and your pet(s). Shoot me a message if you'd like to book with me! I can give your pet plenty of attention and playtime, and will make sure that the pet's location is known at all times of the day.

“Julia is amazing! Being new to Rover, we saw all the great reviews she had and she was an immediate logical choice to contact. She's friendly, professional, and you can tell she really cares about providing excellent service. We had previously struggled to find someone reliable who could give our cat two insulin shots a day. Julia would send us a text and a pic of our boy on each visit to let us know she was there and our cat was doing well. Finding Julia now lets us travel and not worry about seeking pet care. Thank you Julia!”

“Mandi was fantastic! She made sure my kitten got plenty of exercise and stayed active, and she was incredibly responsive throughout. I felt totally at ease knowing my pet was in such caring and capable hands.”

“Alura is reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. Alura has taken care of Poot over the past year (although this is my first time using Rover), and I really appreciate all the love and care she gives Poot. Thanks for looking after Poot!”

“Amy is the best! She is reliable, communicative, and cares deeply about our pets. She was flexible with a last minute drop-in request, and asked a ton of great questions about the kind of care the pets need.”

Anne J.

“Sadie was so helpful making daily drop-ins on our cat, while we were away. She was gracious in having to clean up quite a few messes he made, she made sure his food, water, and litter box were kept fresh, and she spent some time with him each day to keep him from getting too lonely. She was very easy to communicate with during our trip. Thank you, Sadie for taking such good care of our kitty!”

About: I’ve been pet/housesitting for the majority of my life! Growing up I was relied on heavily by many. I was consistently approached by family, friends, and neighbors. There were quite a few people that had me as their go-to whenever they needed the help and I made a strong connection with. I always get excited when people ask me to petsit for them! On top of that, I’ve done a lot of volunteer work at animal shelters, including dog walking, cleaning, and playing. I’m currently a SPED Educational Assistant, 8am-3:30pm every weekday at a school in Portland. Anytime around that I am free and willing, but I understand if that is too large a gap in the days as far as house sitting goes. Otherwise, my weekends are entirely free, as well as my summer break! I will accommodate to whatever needs must be met for your pet! I want to make sure your fur baby is completely safe, comfortable and happy with me. Every animal is different and I love to make space for them and learn about what they like, dislike, need, as well as their quirks and personalities. Connection and trust is very important to me.

“Makayla was wonderful. Very nice polite respectful and communicative. She kept me posted and I feel comfortable having her in my home while I'm away.”

“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!”

About: I am a French bulldog mom of 2 dogs. 4 yr old Remy and 6 yr old Wilbur. They are crazy and have a lot of energy. I grew up since I was little with dogs and cats in the home and have loved taking care of them. I let dogs be on the couch. I will take your dog on a lot of walks and have lots of play time. Cuddles on the couch too! I have a house and a good small fenced yard. According to family members my house is the doggy resort. l was also told my happy place is with dogs/animals. I couldn’t agree more! I only take 1 dog at a time so I can devote more time to your pup. I might consider two. Please let me know if you have any questions (about availability, pricing, etc.). I’m pretty easy going. If it shows I’m not available on my calendar feel free to still reach out, I might be available. Wilbur, Remy, and I are happy to meet you! **I will not take: large dogs (even if they’re under 40lbs), Alpha dogs, and dogs that pee inside** . I am currently on winter break from nursing school. That starts back up January 12th so I will not be here all day everyday once that starts up again. Currently though I work full time from home, and are home most of the time. I have a small fenced yard. I also have a doggy door built in the screen so pups can go in and out easily when they need to potty or bathe in the sun if I am not outside with them. Birds and squirrels frequent my backyard so if your dog likes to chase those and watch, they’ve got a front row seat! When I’m not home they can be crated if needed, or roam free inside, and I keep all doors locked. I also have security cameras inside and outside of my home. You can reach me any time, day or night with questions. I work full time from home. I am home majority of the time when not in school, attention to your pup is a top priority! I have a fenced yard and two dogs for your pet to enjoy! I also have cameras outside. Tons of toys and chew things for dogs to enjoy as well.

“Vivian does a great job walking Obi and taking care of him. She’s fantastic with dogs and is a great communicator.”
