Cat Sitting Minnetonka Mills

“Tricia was absolutely great with my two kitties. Left the house in perfect condition, communicated every day, came on time, played with and brushed them, and bonus: she's an absolutely fantastic animal portrait photographer!!! The pics she sent are some of the very best I have of both of my girls. I'm so used to getting partial-body, proof-of-life hostage pictures from pet sitters (IYKYK) that her work was a fabulous surprise!! This was my first time using Tricia and won't be my last.”

“Maddie kept me up to date on Reggie and answered all my questions about how he was doing while I was away. She also grabbed some packages that came in for me. She is a great cat sitter that I would hire again!”

Natalie L.

“Rola did a wonderful job checking in and caring for our cats while we were away. It didn’t take long for our cats to warm up to Rola and start showing their personalities. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello👋🏽I’m a passionate dog lover and pet stylist at a doggie daycare, with 6+ years of experience leading playgroups and 3 years as a professional groomer. I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and individual needs.🐾 I currently have the sweetest babies, a 12 year old lab and 2 laid back cats. I grew up caring for our rescued beagles from an animal testing facility, which taught me how to support sensitive or nervous pups with patience and compassion. Through daycare and grooming, I’ve worked hands-on with all kinds of breeds, coat types, and personalities. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and help them feel safe, happy, and loved! I also offer nail trims if your pup is comfortable with it.✂️ I also enjoy cleaning in my spare time, so I’d be happy to offer light housekeeping or general tidying if that’s something you’d find helpful.🫧 Pet care fits into my routine really naturally. I work as a groomer and often have shorter days starting at 8am, usually finishing around 2 or 3 PM, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet sitting in the evenings. I’m also available most weekends for drop-ins and walks. I typically pet sit in the owner’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely—every pet is different, and I do my best to stick to their usual routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, medications, or just extra snuggles. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with care, just like I do with your pets!

“Samantha has been taking care of this little fur family in various forms for a couple years now. I always feel confident that she is making sure they are getting what is needed and all the snuggles. Thank you!”

About: I’m a passionate (professionally trained) dog trainer with over four years of experience at one of the currently top rated and award winning doggie day cares, boarding and training facility in the metro area! My passion has taken me through professional boarding facilities and various sized playrooms, where I’ve learned the ins and outs of doggy behavior from playful pups, ones that are a little more on the spicy side, to the more reserved ones. what I truly love is helping pups thrive. I have been trained to use various tools if needed for your pup such as properly fitting a harness, a prong collar, and more. I will happily collaborate with you to create a perfect care plan including enrichment, walks, play time, brain games and structure. I have been successfully training dogs for 11 years with the past 4 being in a professional setting. I’m all about clarity, transparency and open communication. My current position at my full time job is the lead trainer and manager of a smaller group daycare for reactive pups of various degrees and pups that need structure. I’m fine with behavioral issues such as resource guarding, reactivity ect as long as it’s disclosed first. I also have a senior GSD at home so I know how to provide compassionate care for our sugar faced friends! I’m always open for questions or comments and I send LOTS of pictures! I require a meet and greet before booking any services (unless it’s a last minute drop in or dog walk) I work full time as a dog trainer but I always make time to train and work my own dogs as well as being able to care for others pets. We can discuss your ideal schedule and figure out together the perfect plan. I’m available most evenings and weekends. I have a fully fenced yard, long lines and a couple favorite parks! I will always be transparent with pet parents about expectations with their pets. What I would do with a senior pup is different than a young dog. I’m happy to provide my companionship and love for dogs who would rather snuggle and just be around people or play lots of fetch and do lots of brain games for dogs who need that. Usually it’s a mix between the two, some play, lots of love.

“Neither of our usual Rovers were available for a week away. I was a little nervous about a new Rover for that long of time but Lilliana was on top of the meet-and-greet, key, confirming food scheduled, etc. While we were gone, Lilliana kept me updated on how Luna was doing and checked in with me about an unexpected change she noted in the house. The pictures made it clear that Luna was enjoying her time with Liliana, and Luna is not an outgoing kitty. I was very pleased.”

“It was such a pleasure to have Caroline watch our three cats. We were worried about one of them because they needed special attention, but Caroline eased our concerns right from the first meet-up. She won our cats over immediately and asked all the right questions to show us they were in good hands! We were able to enjoy our trip without worry about our kids back home thanks to her reliable updates and charming glamour photos. If she’s available next time we go on a trip, we will reach out to Caroline again!”

Teresa Z.

“Grace took on way more than expected. She kept not only our resident animals alive, but also a handful of unexpected foster kittens and my plants! Thank you Grace!”

Jazmin G.

“Alicia went above and beyond our expectations for watching our cats! Her daily pictures were great and she shared feedback and questions as they arose. She even straightened up, vacuumed, mopped and cleaned the countertops on the last day. She will be our go-to for future bookings!”

Aaron T.

“Ashley took great care of our two cats! She was extremely communicative, dedicated time and attention to making sure they were active, and made sure they exhibited normal eating/drinking habits while we were traveling. Loved the pictures as well!”

About: I grew up with dogs, lizards and cats and even hamsters, bearded dragons and birds. I know how to take care of a variety of animals. I am a lover of all animals! I have a full time job but I am free in the evenings, weekends, and I work remote during the day Monday and Friday to take care of animals. In my personal life, I feed my cat in the morning and night, clean her litter box every other day and play with her daily. I will follow the instructions given and make sure I am aware of the expectations going into the clients home. I am a very responsible and accountable person.

About: I’ve been caring for friends’ and families’ pets for almost 10 years now! Since relocating to Minnesota for law school, I’m missing time with animals and am looking for creative ways to make ends meets with a lot of time needed for school work. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, fish, cows, sheep, you name it! I’m versed in administering meds, following special diets, and giving your animals all the love. I’d love to help out in whatever way you might need! I have class from 12-5 Monday through Friday. I’m relatively available outside of those hours and the commute to and from school. Connect with me to see what we can make work! I’m happy to visit or stay in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their own homes! I’m very low maintenance and go with the flow of any situation- whatever your pets require.

“Rose is the first cat sitter I’ve ever had and boy did she set the bar high! She spent 5 days taking care of my sweet and chatty old man kitty, and he absolutely loved her. He can be a little shy but he warmed up to her right away, she was even able to give him his ear meds with no issues. Rose showed up on time with a toy wand for Mort to play with, she kept him cozy, well-fed, played with and loved while I was out of town with family. She sent me lots of pics, which I loved! And she left me a little gift card and some other things for the holidays which was so sweet. I was nervous leaving Morty at home with someone else for a week for the first time but Rose made us both feel comfy and safe. I would strongly recommend her to look after your cats! She’s a real cat whisperer!”

About: Hi! I’m Sydney and I’m 28 years old. I have been taking care of dogs for over 10 years for friends and family. My family has fostered dogs, so I have experience with dogs of all sizes and behaviors. I also have an anxious fur baby of my own, so dogs that need extra care hold a special place in my heart. I currently work in the corporate world full time, but I have a very flexible job. I work a hybrid schedule which means I am working at home for most of the week and can often be available during the day. I live in an areas with many walking trails and a small dog park outside my apartment. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and am comfortable handling larger dogs.

“Madilyn was wonderful! She took time to get to know our routines and meet us and our furball ahead of time. She was consistent and took time to make sure everything was handled during each visit. We would definitely work with her again!”

“Perfect sitter for my girl, Ivy loved her 🤍”

About: I have had dogs in my family my whole life. I have cared for my family dog throughout its senior years. I now have a toy poodle of my own who I cared for during her recovery from a broken leg. She is now a happy and healthy pup who loves to run and play, so high energy dogs are no stranger to me. I am always drawn to dogs everywhere I go but it seems dogs tend to be drawn to me as well always wanting to say hello! I work full time from home with occasional in-office days in downtown Minneapolis. In-office days are sporadic so I may be unavailable some days. Otherwise, I can work from anywhere so I am very flexible. Pet’s safety and comfort is always my number one priority. I am cautious and aware when opening doors that pets could slip out of. When out in public I am always aware of other animals nearby as you cannot always guarantee every pet owner is responsible to keep their pet leashed. I am aware of foods that are toxic to pets and refrain from feeding pets “people” food. Additionally I keep all plants and other toxic items out of reach of pets.

“Meg did a great job with our puppy! She was punctual and could see Marshall had a lot of energy, so she took him in a long walk!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and absolutely love being around animals! I’ve cared for friends’ dogs and cats while they’re out of town, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m also an avid walker and runner, so I’d love to have a furry companion join me on my adventures! I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m a very active person and LOVE being outside! 🐶🐾 I recently ran my first half marathon and 10K and have a few more races coming up, so walks and runs are a big part of my everyday routine. I’d love to have a furry friend tag along! I have reliable transportation and am happy to pick up your pup and take them out for a walk, run, or some fresh air and exercise ( depends on mileage ). Whether your dog is a little couch potato who enjoys a leisurely stroll or a high energy pup who wants to run and play, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at! AVAILABILITY I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule right now! If you see a date blocked off on my calendar, it may only be because I’m unavailable for part of that day. Feel free to message me with your preferred time, and I’ll do my best to make it work! WALKS - Please let me know if your pet is okay around other animals, medical issues or any other helpful information I may need to know! DROP IN - Please let me know if your pet will need anything specific during this drop in. This includes feeding, medications or anything along those lines. I live in an apartment with two other girls who are animal lovers, and we don’t currently have any pets. I typically prefer to care for pets in their own home where they’re comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I’m happy to discuss boarding at my apartment on an emergency or special-case basis!
