Cat Sitting in North Branch

About: I've loved dogs and cats since I was a little kid! I have had both dogs and cats for the past 19 years. I started with coonhounds and a cat and added a chihuahua shortly after, she is still with us and turning 17 yo this year. I also have a Blue Heeler who has brought energy back into our home! I enjoy all dogs and cats any types and sizes and have helped friends and family in the past with their pets while they've been away. I understand how hard a pet parent feels when they have to leave their pets during the day, for a quick overnight or long weekend. I wanted to offer my availability for others to have a trusted option when their pets need to have a break while you have to be away! I have availability in the evenings and depending on the location also available in the morning and mid day for a quick check in. During the week I am off work by 4:30 pm and open all evening. Over the weekends I am available most all day and evening on Saturdays and Sunday in the mornings. Here to help with potty breaks, evening walks or in yard play for dogs and food, water and litter checks for cats. I am a trustworthy and reliable option for your pets when you cannot be there to feed them, let them out for bathroom breaks or a little play time. I know from my own pet's experience that they are happiest in their own home and sometimes our days last longer than expected so I'm happy to be there and assist your pets at your home.

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 currently have a cat, she'll most likely hide and if needed can be in a seperate area in the house.

“Sydni was great and sent me daily pictures. I had to travel last minute and needed a few more days added. She agreed to take care of them a few more days and they were really happy to see her daily. I highly recommend Sydni if you need dog sitting or check-ins. My little puppy was potty training still and she took care of that too when the puppy couldn't get outside. Thank you Sydni!”

About: I worked in a doggy daycare/boarding facility for over a year and completed “Dog Gurus” training sessions while working there. I’ve cared for multiple breeds of dogs and cats throughout my life. I also have worked with reptiles, rodents, & birds. I currently have two wonderful family dogs, a Shih Tzu and an American bully. My work, family, and friends have always trusted me to keep their pets healthy, happy, and clean. I have years of work/personal experience providing care for seniors, puppies, special needs, and reactive dogs. I also have experience in bathing, brushing, ear cleaning, and nail trimmings! I can easily adapt my routine to make sure your pets get all the attention and exercise they need. I am available Monday-Sunday and on holidays. Your pets comfort and safety is the most important thing to me. I always do my best to follow your pets routine so they can be stress free while you’re away. I am a fast responder to all types of communication so feel free to reach out to me as often as you’d like. I will be sure to send photos and updates has much or as little as you want!

“Julie did an excellent job with our five cats while we were on vacation for the past week. She visited them daily (food and cleaning litter boxes) and provided us with pictures. This was better than taking them to a kennel. We will definitely use her again.”

About: Experienced care for a wide variety of ahes, sizes, and breeds. I've been employed for 2 years by a family who breed doodles, and before then have had at least one year of pet care experience from family, friends, and neighbors. I've done everything from whelping, to handling medication, staying over for long periods of time and following strict schedules to insure proper care. You can trust me with your fuzzy family members! I live near North Branch and I'm also going to be attending college this year in Edina and I am looking for additional work around those areas. My school schedule will be Tuesday-Friday from 8am to 3pm with great flexibility, as I can leave the school for breaks at any time so if your pets need care more frequently it's no problem at all! I have many pets at home with my family, I've put much time into researching their breeds and any specific needs they might have. I keep a good eye on their behaviors, the majority of my work experience has been caring for animals and children so care giving is definitely my forte! Their safety is so important to me as is my clients!

About: Hi! My name is Nikki and I’m 25 years old with loads of pet care experience. :) I’ve had animals my entire life and grew up on a farm, so the options and potential is unlimited! I’ve had all sorts of pets, ranging from dogs, cats, horses, goats, reptiles, amphibians, and the smaller, furrier friends. :) Not only do I want to love on your fur baby as it’s my own, as well as help you out, but I’m open to any animal, not just limited to dogs & cats! Unless it’s a tarantula (lol!). I’ve always had a minimum of two dogs and cats, and have always exceeded their basic needs of care. Everyone stays spoiled around here! I’m pretty flexible and open to accommodating the needs you require to be met. I’m a very upfront and honest person with the biggest heart towards any fur baby! I look forward to speaking with you :) I work full time from home, but am able to step out here and there to attend to your pets every need. I’m more than willing to work something out. :) With whatever it may be that your pets usual routine is, or what their schedule is like, I am willing to figure out a course of action to make it seem like it’s just another day for them, to keep them as safe, comfortable and happy as you would.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 15. I have experience training exercising and of course cuddling. I can care for puppies and senior dogs as well as dogs with special needs. I am currently self-employed and can set my own schedule, which gives me lots of time to work around your needs for care for your pet I have a large property where your dog can exercise. We have a very friendly chocolate Labrador that loves to play. We treat animals we are boarding as if they are our own.

About: Dog sitting since age 8. Currently dog sit for two different families in the twin cities. I also cat sit for a friend of mine. I’ve been around animals my entire life and adore them! I enjoy being outside and walking so I’ve always wanted to do Rover! Currently working part time so my schedule is very flexible and can work around times that fit your pet’s needs. I also try to get a walk in every day so winter walks are no issue for me. I follow clients rules and schedules when caring for their pets as I’m aware many families have schedules that their pets are used to. Feeding, walking, cuddling, playing, etc. depending on owners request.

“Danielle did a couple drop ins for my cats while I was away and she did great! She was very friendly and went above and beyond to check on our guinea pig as well? I Highly recommend her and will definitely ask her to watch my pets again!! She even left a treat for my cats ? so sweet!”

“Margaret took care of my cat, Kibs, as I would have. She communicated throughout the week and was able to give her 2 doses of an oral drug - no easy feat. I will hire her again!”

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.

“Quick response time. Emily is very sweet and really takes her time to make sure your pet is well cared for. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve always loved taking care of animals. When I was young my family had horse, fish, cats, dogs. I always had a massive interest in taking care of them and loving them! I play for the Pueblo bulls and I don’t get done with practice and workouts until 3 as of right now. As the season moves on hopefully it will be sooner in the day. After that I have tones of time at home and would love to take your dog or animal on a walk! I won’t have any availability to have your pet stay at my house. I will keep your pet company and entertained for hours, and help you out in any way needed.

“Taylor watched our Ellie at our home over a long weekend. She did a good job caring for our dog. Taylor also helped with watering my annuals so they didn't die and brought in mail left at the door. She is caring and responsible. We would hire her again in the future.”

“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!”
