Cat Sitting in Randolph

“Emma was amazing! She updated me everyday how my cats were doing and sent the best photos of my girls each day too. The house was clean when I got home. But most importantly she really loved on both of the girls fulfilling their individual needs while I was away. My playful cat got time to play each day and my older cat even warmed up enough to lay on her chest and get some extra pets and kisses each day. I was halfway around the world in a country and I was not worried about the wellbeing of my cats or my house while I was away and that meant everything! I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend using Emma if you need a sitter! ❤️”

About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for dogs since I was 11, when I took full responsibility for my own pup. From feeding her morning and night, to daily walks, baths, and making sure she was happy and healthy, I learned the importance of consistency and care early on. I’ve also gained experience looking after other people’s dogs while babysitting, which taught me how to multitask and ensure every dog gets the attention, exercise, and love they need. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I’m committed to keeping tails wagging while their owners are away. I currently work a part-time job and babysit on occasions I am free all weekend weekends and on weekdays after 5 PM I am free all night. I also have a very flexible schedule and pride myself on keeping my schedule organized. I currently have one cat who I take care of in the past I had a dog growing up, which I had full responsibility of and had to take care of.

“Emily was absolutely wonderful with Starsky and Huggy Bear. She sent great update pictures and let me know they were eating. Would absolutely book her for next year.”

“Cindy was absolutely wonderful with Kit Cat Floof and is very capable of handling a moody, sneaky, skittish, lonely, timid kitty. We ? recommend her.”

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—starting on my family’s farm in southwest Minnesota with dogs, horses, sheep, and plenty of barn cats. I’ve worked in animal shelters and vet clinics, caring for all kinds of pets—from dogs and cats to reptiles and birds. I’m Low Stress Handling certified and have hands-on experience with walking, grooming, giving medications, and more. At home, I have two sweet senior Springer Spaniels and help care for family pets and farm animals. I love being outside—whether it’s hiking, walking dogs, or just soaking up the fresh air. Most of all, I love making sure animals feel safe, happy, and loved—just like family. I am a free-lance graphic designer and baker, otherwise I have been a stay-at-home mom. Both kids are now in school full time, and I have started a part time job at Dakota Pet Hospital as a Client Care Representative. I cannot walk my own dogs, due to their mobility restrictions and age, so why not walk yours! I would be caring for your pet in your home and around your neighborhood through walks, drop in visits and play times. I want to get to know you and your pet so that we know that we will work well together. I want you to feel safe having me caring for your furry family member and best friend, and I want to feel safe and comfortable with your pet(s). I want to see how you interact with your pet so that I can give them the type of care they are used to receiving!

About: As a dedicated and compassionate pet caregiver, I treat every animal with the same love and attention I give my own. With a calm, reliable presence and a deep understanding of each pet’s unique needs, I’m committed to providing a safe, nurturing environment where your furry family member can thrive. I currently have availability on occasional weekdays and weekends, depending on the day. I’m happy to be flexible and work around your schedule when possible! When walking dogs, I prioritize safety, exercise, and enjoyment. I tailor each walk to your pup’s energy level, age, and temperament—whether it’s a brisk stroll, a leisurely sniff-filled adventure, or some playful time outside. I always ensure your dog stays hydrated, comfortable, and happy, and I treat every walk as a chance to build trust and connection with your pet.

“Melanie did a great job with our three cats! She was super adaptable to their needs and she sent pics and notes about the kitties!great job would highly recommend.”

About: I have grown up with dogs and have cared for all different breeds and sizes. I currently have a three legged pit mix who has taught me a lot about disabled dogs and dealing and training with reactive dogs. I work full time but have Fridays at home. I am also available almost every weekend, so if your ever out of town and need a dog walker please reach out! I will bring water and treats on our walks. Along with poop bags and an extra leash just in case. I will make sure the dog is happy and healthy the entire time.

“Christine was awesome! She was great with my cat and played and cuddled with her.”

About: I have owned both cats and dogs, and I love the care that comes with owning these selfless creatures. Whether it’s playing string with cats, or going for long walks with energetic dogs, it’s a joy to interact with each of their unique personalities. I’m a dog park regular, a cat favorite and have experience with dogs from training puppies to working with elderly dogs. My schedule is, at this time in my life, rather open. I’m not in school right now, and I am lucky to be able to do pet-sitting as a steady means of work at this time in my life. During the week, I typically have a few consistent dogs that I walk for, as well as a few overnight pet-sitting jobs a few times per month. I’d love for you to be one of them! Because of this, it makes it easier for me to stay with the pet for a majority of the time, if desired. If I need to leave, it’s usually just to go home and cook my husband dinner, do a few errands or to walk/check on another pet. It all depends on your pet’s needs and habits. Feeding, bathroom and attention are the basics, but besides that I can be extremely active, going for long or several walks/day and lots of playing with toys, to more relaxed, following your animal’s needs. Hanging out with pets is as much for me as it is for the owner I’m working for and their pet. I find lots of fulfillment through spending time with animals, whether it’s my own or Rover clients. I have met many families on here that were strangers at first that eventually became a consistent friend/client.

About: I grew up around all types and sizes of dogs and once I was 20 I got my first dog. We are now a household with 2 pups and 2 guinea pigs. As a pet sitter I consider myself devoted and attentive to the needs of your pets. I believe in a positive dog training approach and lead my interactions with kind authority. I've been entrusted to watch animals and children since I was 15 years old. I've been raised with pets that have special needs such as medication requirements and am comfortable providing for them as well. I am currently working from home and have a very flexible work schedule. I live near the WSU campus and can reach the local neighborhoods readily. Typically I am away from home during the holidays but can schedule some time around that. In general I will be available for walks and check ins at various times throughout the day. In Pullman we are lucky to have the availability of some trails and walking paths that are great areas to take dogs. I also believe in tailoring the walk to the pet. For example some dogs are nervous around busy streets, therefore we can modify and walk on back roads or in parks that may provide a better environment during their walk. I also have a valid drivers license and have had experience driving with dogs for 6+ hours in the car.

“Grace was great and Taco loved her! She was on time, sent great pictures, and took wonderful care of my dog.”

About: I grew up around livestock and all sorts of other animals. I recently lost my own dog but when I had her I used Rover to help find a regular dog sitter for when I went on teacher conferences. I recently became trained in dog and cat CPR and first aid. I am not afraid to give medications to an animal and have taken care of dogs that have special needs such as anxiety, fear of fireworks, fear of guns and high energy. I am currently on a teaching schedule but after memorial day I will be available most days. If I am away during the summer it's usually just during the day. They will take first priority, getting food, water, any medications prescribed and taken to go outside will all take place before my needs. I can provide a kennel at my home and kennel trained my own dog understanding the process for that.

About: When your pet stays with me, they are family, and treated as such. I have experience with elderly and hospice pets as well as special-needs pets, young puppies, medication management and administration (liquid, pill, and injections) and some training experience as well. Well versed in pets with special care requirements (i.e. animals with anxiety, reactivity and/or other behavioral challenges). Because I work from home, I can be with your pet throughout the workday, and can easily step away to give your pet potty breaks and attention. I prefer to do house-sitting based pet care, as I’ve found that animals are most comfortable in their home environments. I am also happy to water any plants that may need it, as long as instructions are provided. Happy to work with large animals, amphibians, fish, and reptiles as well. Do note that house-sitting based pet care includes light house maintenance/cleaning as well such as vacuuming and laundering the guest sheets used. I like to leave the houses I care for as neat (if not neater) than they were upon my arrival. I work from home and can easily step away to care for your pet. When pet sitting, I generally don’t leave the house I’m sitting at for more than a few hours at a time, so your pet has reliable supervision and company. I am pet CPR and first aid certified through Red Cross. I am a very cautious and risk-aware person, always mindful of keeping doors and gates shut and ensuring the environment I’m pet-sitting in is safe and secure.

“Our dogs, horses and cats LOVED Logan. She is simply amazing.”

About: I’ve taken care of small to big dogs for almost 10 years now. I have a dealt with a handful of reactive dogs as well as plenty non reactive dogs, I was taught how to read dogs body language about 6 months ago and I’m still working on improving! I have dealt with scuffles as well as dogs that were very persistent. Currently I am at a doggy daycare Fridays and Saturdays taking care of daycare and boarding dogs. Sunday thought Thursday I am at home taking care of my own dog by continuing his training, taking him on walks, playing with him, and watching him play with his sister. In my home I care for my pets by making sure I give them attention, exercise, mental stimulation, fun outside time with bones and toys, as well as making sure my puppy stays rested after a long day. When taking care of clients pets I treat them the exact same way and I make sure I follow the owners instructions to ensure the best care for the best pups!

About: I have owned a dog for the last 15 years and have taken care of all ages/types of dogs for family and friends! I am home during the week and on weekends. I have a 4 year old yellow lab who is extremely friendly with other dogs and is used to being around them. I have an acre fenced in yard in town with lots of room for the dogs to run around safe. We have the summers off and are very flexible during the week. We are also available most every weekend for weekend stays or week long stays. We have a large fenced (One acre) in yard and a four year old yellow lab named Earl who loves to run around. Our yard is very dog friendly!

About: I am a fourth-year Animal Science major at the University of Minnesota wanting to pursue vet school. I own a dog, two cats, and one horse personally. I grew up on the same 20 acres that my grandfather's small animal and equine veterinary practice resided so I am well versed in the vet-med functions. My grandma also bred Miniature Aussies when I was a kid so I am very comfortable with puppy-age alongside the energy of herding dogs. I have overnight pet sat for numerous friends and neighbors alongside just check-ins throughout the day. These animals have ranged from cows, horses, goats, chickens, and dogs and cats. I am very comfortable with numerous different personalities as I have watched a friend's boarding kennel for numerous different weekends. I usually go home every weekend so am typically just available Monday-Friday Morning as I am scheduled to work at home alongside wanting to see my own animals. I try to follow their usual routine in their own home which can range from feeding them at their usual time and going outside for walks or potty time. I also allow them to sleep in the bed with me if that is what they are used to. The least abnormal day for them is the goal.

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 9 years old and have always helped family and friends with their dogs when they went on vacation, overnights, etc. I now have 2 dogs- a 6 yr old Beagle/Dachshund mix and a 2 yr old German Shepherd. I also have 2 kids, ages 11 and 12. I treat my dogs like family, we adore them! Dogs are just better than people! I’m currently working part-time so I would be available according to that schedule. My schedule is pretty flexible and I can work from home at times. We don’t have a fence right now but we will once the snow melts and my husband can put one up. We live in Randolph, MN. I love animals, I’m always talking to mine and loving up on them- lots of cuddles and fun. We do dog puzzles, frozen enrichment bones, play fetch or my Kacey’s favorite, “chase me!”

About: I have worked and cared for animals from horses to poultry since I was a wee lad. I have a great love and respect for all creation. I have been called a Dog, Horse, Chicken, Cat, and even Sheep whisperer (My daughter has the same gift as well). Growing up our family never purchased an animal from a store, they were always rescues in one way or another. Without knowing that was true, this choice still shaped the way I have approached relationships with animals. And I believe animals know this about me (and others) and has impact on how they interact with me. I have worked at The MN Zoo, Farms, and local Horse Ranches and have absolutely loved learning about the creatures in my care. As a business owner, I have a little more flexibility than a normal salaried/hourly employee. Sundays are usually not available but can be requested. Please let me know how I can serve you and your animals Learning about each animal I meet guides the working relationship I can create. The same applies for each client I choose with whom to partner.
