Cat Sitting North Oaks

“Rylan was a lifesaver. She agreed to take care of my girls (11 month old kittens) very last minute so I could go on vacation. Her communication and daily updates were great, and she took very good care of my home and kitties while I was away.”

About: I've been an animal person for as long as I can remember! I've had animals in my life for all 40 years and have spent over 20 years working full-time in veterinary medicine as a licensed veterinary technician. I currently work in zoo medicine, which is truly a dream come true for me! My professional experience includes caring for animals of all species, from routine wellness and preventative care to complex medical cases requiring intensive, ICU-level care. I'm comfortable administering medications, monitoring medical conditions, and recognizing when something isn't right. While my professional background is in veterinary medicine, caring for animals has always been much more than a job to me. I genuinely love getting to know their individual personalities, making them feel comfortable, and giving them the same attention and affection I give my own pets. I have a soft spot for cats, but truly enjoy working with animals of all kinds, regardless of age, special needs, and species. :) I work Monday–Friday at the zoo from 8:00–4:30, so my availability is primarily outside of those hours and on weekends. I also have a 50/50 parenting schedule, with my kids on some weekday evenings after 6:00 and every other weekend. I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that meets your pet's needs. My children will not be present during pet-sitting visits unless you are comfortable with and specifically request that arrangement. I'm very mindful of my commitments and will only accept a booking if I know I can give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Reliability is really important to me, and I want you to feel confident that your pets are in good hands! I prefer caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable and stick to their normal routines while their owners are away. I'm also happy to discuss special arrangements depending on your pet's needs. I love getting outside with dogs and am always up for a fun field trip to explore a new park or go for a special walk! As a certified veterinary technician with extensive animal care experience, safety and well-being are always priorities for me. I'm comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions, and keeping an eye out for any changes in behavior or health. I treat every home with respect, keep pets' environments safe and clean, and believe communication is important. I'll happily send updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands!

About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds and a wide variety of other animals. I’m excited to meet your pet and provide them everything they need! As a student in wildlife biology I have a fairly flexible schedule. Please contact me about days that are not immediately listed on my profile. Walks, cuddles, feeding, playing, medicating, cleaning up after, and general husbandry/enrichment are just the start of what I can provide for your pets. Please let me know about any particular services you may need!

About: I have owned pets my entire life. I have had a wide range of different animals of different sizes. I have experience with reactive dogs and training them. I also help with my roommate who fosters dogs. I am a full-time law student, so school is my priority. I go to school in Minneapolis 5 days a week from 8 AM to 3 PM most days. After school, I typically reserve that time for studying, so I would love to be able to spend time with pets while I do that. I currently live with a roommate, so I cannot accommodate pets at my residence. Willing to come to wherever needed and be flexible with scheduling

“Friendly. Came over for a visit beforehand for his drop ins. Took notes on where things were and everything. My boys gets so excited to see him.”

“Lacie did a fantastic job checking on my cat Chloe! She was super communicative, accommodating, and sent beautiful pictures. We are so appreciative ❤️”

About: I've loved animals all my life. I got my first puppy when I was about 13 years old, full of pre-teen enthusiasm for learning all about dog behavior and puppy training strategies. Now that my own beloved dog is no longer with us, I've found myself wishing I had more opportunities to connect with animals on a regular basis. I've taken every chance I could to pet sit for friends and acquaintances over the years, but recently I realized that I could also be using Rover to make pet care a more regular part of my life! Since I'm also meant to share something here that makes me "stand out" as a sitter, I'll say that animals do tend to feel particularly safe and relaxed around me. If I were to take a guess as to why that is, I think I would say that it's probably a combination of: 1) genuinely loving pets and wanting to have a positive interaction with them, 2) not bringing anxious energy into the room, which I think is something that most pets can sense, and 3) knowing enough about animal behavior to not escalate any existing anxieties or aggression. As someone who has had a beloved pet, I know how important it is to find someone to care for your pet that you can trust to accommodate their particular needs, and to create a safe, happy environment for them while you're away. If you'll trust me to be that person, then nothing would make me happier than to give your pet an amazing visit, walk, or staycation! I work full time (8.5 hours M-F) in Arden Hills, and my preference for pet care would be to schedule services either before (7:30am) or after (5pm) work. I do have some flexibility to pop out for short walks in the middle of the day for one-off service requests, but would not be able to accommodate a repeating service in the middle of the work day. I am not able to host pets in my home at this time, but if I can come and care for your pets at their own home, I am happy to follow whatever instructions you give for how to make your pet feel happy and safe and cared for during your absence! I am a careful instruction follower, so I will refer back to any information you can give me about what your pet is accustomed to when you are home, and how you would like me to care for them when you're gone. If you feel nervous at all about leaving them, I'm also more than happy to send regular updates to you about how they are doing!

About: With over 25 years of dedicated pet care experience, combining a deep passion for animals with unparalleled expertise. Specializing in dogs of all breeds and sizes, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. From daily walks to overnight stays, your furry family members receive the love, attention, and exercise they deserve. Reliable, professional pet sitting and walking services that keep tails wagging and owners at ease. Our Home & Yard: Pups who stay with us get to enjoy a spacious lakeside backyard with plenty of room to run, sniff, explore, and relax. 🌿🐾 The yard is partially fenced, with an opening for lake access, so all outdoor time is fully supervised. There are shady spots for downtime between play sessions. In the summer months, dogs can swim in the lake (with owner permission only). Just let us know if your pup is a swimmer and has your OK to go in. Although I will be the primary care taker, my wife and I work from home full time Monday through Friday. We love to spend our free time taking care of our sweet boy Koda who is a 5 year old labradoodle. He gets along great with other dogs and loves friends. I have a home in a quiet community which is fenced. This allows the dogs to run freely outside for potty breaks and exercise for the pups.

“Tina is an amazing pet sitter! She took care of my two cats, who are so sweet but also high maintenance and she did so well! They both had accidents and she cleaned them, plus set up treats and puzzles for them which I appreciated so much. I am most definitely reaching out anytime I need a sitter, thank you Tina!”
