Cat Sitting Nicollet

“I had an amazing experience with Elizabeth! She was incredibly caring, punctual, and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She kept me extremely updated with detailed messages and lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond in caring for my cats. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.”

“Grace took great care of our two kitties while we were out of town. She paid close attention to detail and was great at sending pictures and updates throughout the visit. One of our cats has asthma meds and the other is a wild child and Grace did great working with both of our kitt-os.”

About: I walked dogs with a company for 4 years while living in New York City. The company specialized in individual household care, walking only the dogs of the household at a time. So no mess of leashes, just one-on-one (or two) dogs at a time. (I even got to walk Jimmy Buffett's dogs while working there) I cared for all manner and breed of dog, from ones that never ran out of energy and loved everyone, to dogs that just wanted to sit on the couch and didn't care about other dogs. And before that, my family always had at least one dog around while my mother trained puppies to be service animals. I have also provided care for cats over the years, having lived with them and cared for cats in dog/cat homes. My care for animals runs deep, and I love to see them get what they need to really be happy and healthy. I pay close attention to each animal and try to understand what they need and meet them where they're at, from unruly puppies to senior dogs in their sunset years. I'm currently self-employed, so I'm able to offer flexible availability to best suit the needs of each pet owner. I've grown up around pets and care deeply for their well-being, so I know how important it is for both owners and pets for the animals to get timely care and exercise. Having worked as a professional dog walker (just 1-2 dogs at a time, as to better give individual attention and care), I know how important it is to clients to be able to rely on a caregiver and trust their pet is in good hands. Each animal has their own needs that need to be accounted for, and those needs may change depending on the day or time of year. Being attentive, creative, and willing to go the extra mile means I'm giving each pet the best care I can each time.

“Elise did a great job watching our two dogs! She loves animals and our dogs wore so well cared for and happy when we got back from our trip!! Will be booking again!”

“Briana did a fantastic job of caring for our cats while we were away! She even came an extra day when our flight was cancelled. She she sent great photos and updates. I can always tell when we have a good cat sitter by the way my kitties act when we get home and they were very "chill" and relaxed. I hope to have her come again!”

About: I grew up surrounded by cats and love love love them. Years ago, I was the proud cat-parent to two sweet rescue tabbies, Cassius Clay and Joe Montana [Yes, we are sports fans!] Then my husband discovered his severe cat allergy, and we had to rehome them with a retired police officer. Because my household has to remain cat-free, I am looking to bring all that bottled-up feline affection to your furry family members instead! Currently, I pet-sit and drop in on cats for friends and neighbors in our area. Whether your cat needs active playtime, loves being brushed and rubbed, just wants someone around to cuddle with while you're away, or prefers to keep their distance, I treat every cat like my own. I'm excited to expand my circle and help more local families enjoy peace of mind knowing their cats are safe, well cared for, and with someone who gets cats and their unique personalities. While I work full time as a professor at Gustavus, much of my time is flexible and I plan to see cats I care for at least once a day. I can generally adjust to your needs and scheduling. Cats are best in their own space and environment. Your cats call the shots depending on their needs and personalities. If they like people and being held or groomed or playing, terrific! If they are more reserved and just want someone around and to make sure they have everything they need like a clean box and new food, terrific! In between? Great. Part of why cats are excellent is that they have such distinct personalities, and I adjust to those.

“Wendy was great with our cats. She was consistent with her visits and updates. We loved the photos she sent. We could tell they had fun with here when we came home because one of them brought his wand to us to play with.”

“Morgan was an excellent caretaker for my cats. She arrived at the expected times and made sure to send photos of what they were up to each day, and she communicated regularly about their habits—e.g., one cat didn’t want her food one day, but soon went back to normal. The cats clearly enjoyed her company, and everything was perfectly in order when I returned home. Morgan also went above and beyond to leave me a hand-written daily log of activities and the cats’ behaviors. I would definitely book Morgan again and recommend her to friends with pets!”

“Breanna is very kind and attentive! She sent pictures every time she stopped in and spent a good amount of time playing with and giving our cats attention. Would highly recommend her!”

About: I love caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and species but my favorite creatures to look after are fish! I have over 7 years of experience in fish care and husbandry from a variety of settings; whether you need me to raise juvenile cichlids while you’re out of town, or just make sure your tank hasn’t exploded, I’m your guy. I work in the pet care industry so I also have experience with reptiles, small animals, and of course dogs and cats <3 I work mornings so I will always be available after 3:30pm for any drop in visits or house sitting! I typically have weekends off but, I am able to switch shifts around if your pet has specific needs. I do rent, so I am unable to board pets. As far as looking after your pets in your home I assure you there is no need to worry, I will look after your belongings better than my own! I prefer to do meet and greets and learn the ground rules before committing to a job, this also gives us an opportunity to start building some trust.

About: I treat my 2 dogs like children. Spoiled rotten. I enjoy animals more than I enjoy humans. Sorry, not sorry. My special skill is love lol I'm a travel nurse, working in different towns. Need more activities to do on my days off. I usually will have 3 days off. I have my dog with me and know how important he is. He is home. I prefer to go to the clients home and check on your dog and let him to go potty and or go on a walk.

“Elizabeth was wonderful! I accidentally booked two Rovers and her and the other Rover were so understanding and worked together to determine what would work best for Cocoa and her care for the rest of the weekend.”

About: I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I have the biggest soft spot for them, and I have two dogs of my own. I have had my own dog since I was about 19, but have had outdoor farm dogs for as long as I can remember. I have been around dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and other small animals for as long as I can remember. I am patient, detail orientated and I truly just love spending time with animals. Big or small, I love them all! I do work during the day, but I have the ability to pop out if/when I need to. I am free evenings and weekends. My schedule can be flexible if needed. I have a dog friendly home. To me this means there’s nothing but toys on the ground. Garbages are hidden and I am very aware of what is around my animals. I also have a dog park in front of my apartment!

“Addison did exactly what i needed her to. She took care of my dogs and was super flexible with my crazy work schedule. I could tell when i got home by how happy my dogs were that she treated them good! I recommend her to anyone looking to get their dogs cared for!”

About: I have a deep connection with everything living. Growing up with animals on my side throughout my childhood and having 5 at one time was a lot of work but it was surly amazing. I really want a fun job over the summer between school years. I love working hard and overachieving where i should be. Animals help me keep it together and always put a smile on my face no matter what Dog sitting for people i didn't know was a little weird in the beginning than my moms bookclub all started asking me. On top of meeting all the different crazy puppies and their little different perks I loved going back and them remembering me.

About: I have worked at my local dog daycare and have experience outside of taking care of my own animals growing up. I have also pet-sat dogs before for family members and friends. I am using this as my only job, and don't have any other priorities besides being a student. I don't have any classes I have to go to; they are all online, so I will have a free schedule. I have a yard that your pets will be able to play and no other animals live in my home. I always prioritize safety, following feeding instructions, walk routines, and home rules closely. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, clean, and ensure pets are calm, well-cared for, and not left alone.

“Maxim obviously took great care of our cat Oscar while we were gone for two weeks. We came home to a very relaxed, happy boy. He didn't seem to even notice we were gone! I would definitely feel comfortable leaving Oscar in his care again in the future.”
