Cat Sitting in North Branch

About: Since I was 6 years old my family had dogs and cats as pets. All the dogs we had we got as puppies so I handled the potty training, taught tricks and the main obedience training like sit and stay. I've watched family and friends dogs which also included days/nights at a time like when they were out of town working. I have watched and been with tiny dogs to giant dogs. I'm a stay at home mom at the moment so I have plenty of time to care for your pet pretty much at anytime day or night. I have a fenced yard so easy to let in and out as needed, big area take out or let out to play. My house is pretty open with area for them to roam or find good spot to just relax. I have never crated any of my animals but if needed or wanted obviously I could do that. If you have a special diet for your dog I would follow that for you also. My kids and I also love to go on walks and would love your dog to join. I do have three very young kids so your dog must get along with children. My kids love animals, they were very sad after losing our last dog so they'd be very excited to play with others. I am home daily with my kids, I only leave when I need to go to the store or take kids to an activity. So they won't be left alone for long if at all while in my care. I have a fenced in yard for a safe place to run and play while outside. My house is decent size so plenty of area and all open to them so they feel at home. You can bring whatever you think your animal needs to be comfortable.

“Thank you so very much!!”

“Sydni checked in with us daily- we appreciated the report cards with photo(s). She also vacuumed up cat litter so not tracked all over our house when we got home.”

About: Certified in dog CPR and first aid, with 50 hours of dog handling and management training through Pack Pro. Five years of experience on a hobby farm, handling all morning and evening chores and feedings for a variety of animals, including goats, chickens, ducks, bunnies, dogs, cats, and horses. Trust your furry friends to someone with a proven track record of animal care and safety. I work full-time at a dog boarding facility, typically 35-40 hours per week with a mix of morning (6:15 AM - 11:15 AM) and afternoon/evening (12:45 PM - around 7 PM) shifts. While I do work both shifts twice a week, my schedule still offers plenty of open time. Beyond these commitments, I'm generally available and flexible, making pet sitting a perfect fit for my lifestyle! Safety is my top priority. I follow all of the owner's instructions meticulously regarding feeding, medication, and exercise. I maintain a clean and safe environment, free from hazards. I build trust with pets by being patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs, creating a positive and stress-free experience. I respect the client's home and maintain open communication, providing updates and addressing any concerns promptly.

About: I’ve grown up with having both cats and dogs of my own my entire life so I know the proper way to care for them. I understand both the needs of animals and how to tend to those specific needs. I love all kinds of animals and spending time with them so much that I would love to go into some type of career where I can be around them and care for them. I’ve always had positive experiences when around animals and have never had any problems being able to connect with them. I would prefer walking smaller dogs but have no problem sitting both large and small dogs/ any size dog. I would also be happy to take care of and watch cats also.

About: I have been walking dogs for 3 years. The dog I currently walk is a Golden Retriever with a lot of energy! I have also walked other large dogs as well as small dogs. I currently walk a dog every morning Monday through Friday, and 2 small dogs as needed. We enjoy going for walks and to the dog park if requested. We have gone on car rides to different parks for walks as well as walking in the neighborhood. I love the time I get to spend with the dogs. Dog walking is what I do. Every day Monday through Friday I walk a Golden Retriever. After that I am open to taking on more walking or drop in visits. When going to clients homes I am always careful to be sure to lock up the home after our walk. I check to be sure that there is adequate water. I am respectful of others private space and leave things as I find them. I give treats if requested. On hot days we can keep walks shorter if requested. I will also brush your dog if you request this.

About: I have had animals my whole life. I have taken care of old and young animals. I have even taken care of farm animals when needed. Both of my dogs are house trained, crate trained and also have recall. I am currently not working so I have plenty of time on my hands 7-2 are the hours that work for me. I am willing to stretch those hours if needed! My boys get feed two times and day and get let out constantly. They are crate trained and house trained. I enjoy going on walks with them on the land and sometimes we even take trips to the lake! I am willing to walk your animals, let them out, just do a sit in so they have a friend or swing by to give them meds!

“Kaitlyn was very helpful in coming over to our house and feeding our boy and taking him outside for us after our previous plans fell through. She responded quickly and was able to help us out that day.”

Dan J.

“Michael, is fantastic. He was very communicative and even offered to grab packages while we were out of town. He sent photos from all visits and was diligent about cleaning the cat boys box and ensuring that they were fed separately due to dietary requirements. We will absolutely be working with him again A+. Thank you for an awesome experience!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my six years of dedicated, hands-on experience caring for animals around the clock. I grew up with two dogs and a cat, caring for them through all stages of life—including senior care and end-of-life comfort. I also have experience working with rescues my family adopted, which taught me patience and adaptability with animals of different backgrounds and temperaments. I’m confident working with puppies, senior pets, and those needing special attention, and I truly love and treat every animal as if they were my own. I currently have an open schedule, which allows me to be very flexible and fully dedicate time to pet care. I’m able to plan my days around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, making sure I’m available for feeding times, walks, play, and any special routines or requests. When caring for pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow all owner instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise, ensuring fresh water and a clean environment. Whether supervising play, going for walks, or offering companionship, I aim to reduce stress and make pets feel secure and well cared for in any setting.

About: I have had dogs my whole life, for as long as I can remember we always had 3 dogs. I've been pet sitting on-and-off since I was a teenager and have experience caring for all ages and sizes! I worked for Angel of Hope Animal Shelter for over two years as their marketing specialist (2019-2021), after I left and accepted a different position, I stayed on as a foster parent for awhile before I had to officially resign - I was switched to night-shift at work and was no longer able to continue care at the standard I wanted. I have experience working with tripod (three-legged) dogs and cats, administering oral medications, and treating diabetes/administering insulin to cats. I am passionate about pets and dedicated to their well-being, I offer top-notch dog walking and pet care services that ensure your furry friends are happy, healthy, and loved. I have several years of experience and a genuine love for animals. I'm happy to work with you and come up with a personalized care plan tailored to each of your pet's unique needs.

I am here to give your furry family members the care and attention they deserve! I have pretty flexible schedule. 2-3 days a week I’m in Minneapolis from 8-5, I can switch those days up as well to work around clients, the rest of the week I work from home. Caring for pets in my client's home involves a personalized and attentive approach to ensure each pet feels comfortable and loved. Here's how I do it: 1. Initial Meet & Greet: I always start with a supervised meet & greet. I’ll work with you to understand your pet's routine, preferences, and any special needs or medical requirements. This also helps the pets feel more comfortable with later drop in visits when their pawrents aren’t home. 2. Customized Care Plans: Based on the consultation, I’ll work with you to create a customized care plan tailored to your pet's unique needs, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care instructions. 3. Comfort and Familiarity: I prioritize making your pet feel safe and comfortable in their home environment by maintaining their usual routine. 4. Daily Walks and Exercise: For dogs, I offer daily walks and playtime to ensure they get the physical activity and mental stimulation they need. 5. Feeding and Hydration: I follow your specified feeding schedule and dietary requirements, ensuring your pets are well-fed and hydrated. 6. Health and Hygiene: I will monitor your pet's health, administer any necessary medications, and maintain their grooming and hygiene needs. 7. Communication and Updates: I’ll keep you informed with regular updates, photos, and videos of your pet, so you can have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands. 8. Emergency Preparedness: I am trained to handle emergencies and have a plan in place for any unexpected situations, ensuring your pet's safety at all times.
 By offering comprehensive, compassionate, and reliable care, I strive to make every pet feel at home and every pet owner feel confident in their choice of care provider.

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since I was seven. I have helped take care of two dogs in the end of life stages, and one cat in end of life stage. I have also helped raise and take care of my neighbors kittens. I helped raise our three year old lab Lily, she know lots of tricks and is very obedient towards me. My whole life has really revolved around the animals I have had in my life. I am currently off work for the winter season and my schedule is wide open. I do prefer to meet your pet a day or two before coming over to sit, of course that is if possible. I like to get the dogs outside and play in the yard, or in the house. This is usually dependent on the location and weather.

“Absolutely incredible sitter! Katelyn took care of my dog, Lola, for two weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Lola adored her from the very beginning, and it was clear every single day that she was in loving, capable hands. Katelyn went above and beyond—not only did she keep Lola safe, happy, and well-loved, she even taught her a couple of new tricks while I was away! She sent updates, was attentive to everything Lola needed, and treated her with the same affection and patience that I would. Coming home to a relaxed, confident dog who clearly had the best time was such a gift. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, reliable, and genuinely great with animals, I can’t recommend Katelyn enough. She’s fantastic.”

About: I am a single mom, who enjoys animals just about as much as I love children. My son loves taking dogs for walks and helping me care for them. It teaches him about responsibility, integrity, and so much more.. Plus we get to play with many different animals and who doesn't love that! I enjoy all breeds of dog whether they are large or small as long as they're friendly with children. I am very professional, and respectful of people, their homes and their pets and have never gotten a bad review from any customer that I've ever had. I always go the extra mile to make the customer and the pet feel as comfortable as possible because it's hard to leave a pet, and also hard for a pet when the owner leaves.
