Cat Sitting River Falls

About: I have had animals my entire life and have dedicated my life to helping pets. I have been in the pet supply industry for 5 years and connect with pet parents daily. I have 2 cats and a dog of my own. I have had cats all of my life and a dog for 3 years now! I’m able to care for pets almost every day of the week! I am very available and flexible. Pet care is something that requires routine. I make sure to keep an eye on pets and their surroundings to ensure safety as well as fun for the pet while keeping the home and surrounding area clean and as intended. I also can provide all kinds of enrichment and playtime and love to spoil our furry friends.

About: Even at a young age, I am very trusted by friends, family, and my community. I have spent countless hours with all breeds, sizes, and ages. Dogs have always had a special place in my heart and I cherish each old and new relationship! I am blessed to still have my 12 year old red fox lab in my life, so I take care of her daily. I have many loved ones who sometimes need help caring for their pets and I am always first on their list to contact. I love to be outside and partaking in physical activity, so I would love to provide a service for walking/exercising your pets! When clients communicate with me how they want me to meet their dogs needs, I will do everything I can to meet that expectation!

“This was our first time using Rover, and first time leaving our pups for a few days, so it was important to find the right sitter. Tabitha went above and beyond. She met us and the pups ahead of our trip and the pups took to her immediately. We felt comfortable leaving them in her care. She had great suggestions for our little guy with some anxiety/pulling issues. While we were away she sent us pictures as well as updates as needed. She made sure the boys got their energy out. We will definitely be asking Tabitha to watch our boys again!”

About: I've had pets (dogs of all sizes, cats, fish) since I was 7. I currently have a dog of my own. I've trained her. I am always happy to watch, play, feed, bathe, and walk dogs. I am a stay-at-home dog owner, which means taking care of your dog is my main priority! Doggy day care and boarding is always available. I usually accept all dogs. I only refuse service if the dog has previously bit me and/or continued aggression. I have one very friendly female dog (spayed) who loves to make new friends and spend time with old ones. I keep dogs typically in the living area, uncaged. I only cage dogs if the owner requests it, and in a different room from the other dogs. I do have another helper (my fiance), as he also enjoys dogs very much. My walking route is usually around Glen Park, I change it up as needed to boost the adventure for your dog(s). **Water will ALWAYS be available and replenished for your dog(s). Food schedule based.**

About: I am pursuing an animal science degree while also working at a vet clinic. I have experience with many different animals from cats to dogs to horses. I am able to stop in right away in the morning around 6-7am, in the middle of the day around 12, and also in the evenings. I love creating an environment where your pet is comfortable while you’re away! I have lots of experience with different types of pets and would love to cater to each individual pet.

“Austin did a great job of caring for our pups. They grew to love him very quickly. We will certainly ask him to watch our dogs again.”

About: Hello Pet People! Pets and their people have always been happy with my patience, clear communication, and cleanliness. I have done many extended stay sits with a variety of dogs and cats, including elderly and rescue animals. Multiple pets welcome! I have administered medication and worked with both on-leash and off-leash or fenced-in potty and exercise routines. I am confident that I can maintain a comfortable setting for your furry friends! I've been the grateful owner (Can pets be owned?) of two cats: Holly and Mr. Kitty. Holly passed away and Mr. Kitty moved to the family farm where he can play outside more. I grew up on a Wisconsin dairy farm with two female rescue dogs, a black lab and a beagle mix. There was also a large family of barn cats, all dear to me. I've always had a deep and natural connection with animals. I work online as an English tutor with a global company called Preply. I usually have about 3 contact hours per weekday, which gives me plenty of time to enjoy and care for your pets. If the internet in your home is stable, that's all I need. As an experienced house sitter and responsible, mature adult, I will be respectful of your home and belongings and safely handle whatever may come up in addition to the usual pet care, mail and security precautions. I have successfully completed the American Red Cross course: Cat and Dog First Aid. My certificate ID is 02D3FDA and it is valid until 7/14/28. Regarding cleanliness, I'm not squeamish and I do what needs to be done. When you return home, everything will be just as you left it or cleaner. Also, I have a green thumb, so no plant will wilt on my watch.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, caring for pets of all sizes and personalities, which led me to study veterinary technology at the University of Wisconsin River Falls. In recent years, I’ve worked full-time in both primary and emergency veterinary clinics, gaining hands on experience in roles ranging from receptionist to veterinary assistant. This background has given me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I’m comfortable working with all types of dogs whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and anxious, stubborn, or even reactive. I also have experience handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, including those who need extra patience and care. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away, while also reassuring you that your family member is safe and healthy. Pet care fits well into my routine as a full-time student at the University of Wisconsin–River Falls with a flexible schedule. During the school year, I’m mostly available afternoons and evenings, and after mid-May I’ll be more open, with a part-time job that varies week to week. I have reliable transportation and am open to overnight care, with occasional early mornings if needed. I prefer advance notice but will do my best to accommodate last minute requests. I tailor my time with each pet based on their needs to make sure they feel comfortable and fully cared for. I believe that care should be based of each pet or families needs. I plan to try and keep the pets routine as similar to what they have now as possible. I don’t want them to be confused. I would prefer to go based off the pets needs. Whether walking for 30 mins or giving medications and snuggling. I am willing to even take your canine to a dog park of choice as long as I had selected papers for vaccine information.

About: I am currently a student on the pre-vet track. I have trained my dogs to perform in shows and to be therapy dogs. I have worked with dogs of all sizes volunteering at the humane society and I am certified in dog and cat first aid. I am currently a student at UW-River Falls so I am pretty flexible with scheduling. I am available on weekends, evenings, or mornings for pet care. I enjoy taking long walks with a dog as well as playing with them. I grew up around herding dogs so I know how important it is for dogs to be able play and use their energy.

“Valerie was so sweet and thoughtful with our dogs! Lots of walks and pets. She really went the extra mile by bringing bones for them. Thank you!”

“Vanessa is a true cat-lover and our cat was comfortable with her from the first time they met. She took excellent care of him while we were away on vacation, followed directions, and I would highly recommend her to other cat parents.”

About: Growing up, my family has always had pets, so I’ve been around animals my whole life. We’ve also done in-home dog sitting for the past 10 years and have fostered numerous dogs and cats through Lucky Paws Rescue for about 8 years. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and sizes, from puppies to seniors and small to large dogs. I also have experience fostering paralyzed dogs and caring for animals with medical needs, including diabetic pets and those requiring medications. I’m a college student who works full time during the summer normally a 3-midnight shift. I’m looking for fun side hustle during the day so dog walking/pet sitting is something I’d be good at and enjoy! I love pets with all my heart! My dogs at home have the option of leash walking and a fenced in yard, both work very well for them. While pet sitting and fostering I’ve had to handle all sorts of dogs while leash walking; the ones that chew the leash, tug, and the easier the ones, but I love them all! Every pet I visit will be treated with love, care, and patience.

I am more than comfortable walking or letting your dog out. I can also crate them if needed.

“Jadynn is amazing! She is always reliable and trustworthy. Our dogs clearly love her (based on the photos of them always cuddling with her 😂) We would highly recommend her!”

About: As a dedicated pet sitter, I provide loving and reliable care for your furry friends while you're away. Whether it's walking, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I ensure that your pets feel safe, happy, and well-loved in your absence. With a passion for animals and a commitment to their well-being, you can trust that your pets are in good hands. Let me take the stress out of your time away, so you can enjoy your trip knowing your pets are cared for! I am home from college for the summer and I have lots of availability and want to do something that I am passionate about . My dogs are very protective and don't get along with other animals so I am unable to take pets to my home to dog sit.

“Highly recommend Kallyn to watch your pets! She was great at communication, has a lot of experience taking care of animals, and genuinely cares about their well-being. I know my senior cat was in excellent hands!! I will definitely ask kallyn to take of my pets in the future.”

I’m completely free Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I follow feeding, walking, and care instructions precisely while providing regular updates with photos and notes on the pet’s well-being. Cleanliness and safety are always a focus, ensuring food and water bowls are fresh, litter boxes are maintained, and the home stays tidy. My experience in animal training allows me to reinforce positive behaviors and help manage any stress or anxiety the pet may experience in their owner’s absence. Having worked in the veterinary and training fields for years, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I strive to provide the best care possible.
