Cat Sitting in River Falls

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!

“Thank you so much for taking care of Tipper! I hope next time he will be a bit more friendly:) We appreciate your patience, care and thoroughness. We will definitely book Tabitha again!”

About: I have experience pet sitting dogs, cats, lizards, turtles, rabbits, chicken and more! While cats and dogs ate important family members so are all our other creature friends! I have also worked at the Minnesota Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, rescuing and rehabilitating injured birds from across the state. I’m currently a college student in my last year at UWRF, I’m free most evening to come see your pet and eager to discuss schedule specifics more in depth! I’m happy to drop by and play or stay overnight. Once summer is here I can be avail during the day! Going to your home to watch your pets helps to reduce stress for them when you’re gone by allowing them to stay in a place they already trust. That being said I’m also happy to take pets on adventures to things like the dog park or pet store to help give them enrichment!

“Kristina is sweet, attentive and conscientious!”

About: Hello Pet People! I have been the grateful owner of two housecats in the past: Holly and Mr. Kitty. Holly has passed and Mr. Kitty has 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. In addition, there was a large family of barn cats. We were all very close and I've always had a deep and healthy connection with animals. Since the dogs stayed primarily outside the house, I have cared for pets in typical urban/town setting to gain more experience via Trustedhousitters - please see testimonials! (My teenage son, shown in a few of my photos, accompanied me on some of the sits, but he doesn't come along anymore now that he is grown.) The pet owners were always happy with my patience, clear communication, and cleanliness. In the past year I have done 6 extended stay sits with 5 dogs and 4 cats, including elderly and rescue animals. I have administered medication and worked with both on-leash and off-leash or fenced-in exercise routines. I am confident that I can maintain a comfortable setting for your furry friends! 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 housesitter 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. 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.

“Hailey and Connor are amazing. We have booked with them twice now and I can't recommend them enough. They took care of our cat Molly and she seemed to feel at home with them right away. Hailey left really sweet notes and pictures through the app that made me feel relaxed and able to enjoy my time away without worrying about Molly. Both times we returned home from a trip, Molly seemed really happy and like she had been well taken care of. You can tell they know what they are doing with pets and are genuinely kind people. If you are trying to find someone to take care of your loved pet, book with Hailey. She's great!”

About: My family has always had animals. I helped to take care of our senior cat (23 years old) and I have also helped with our diabetic dog. I have recently started pet sitting for friends and family in the last 2 years. I am a full time student with a part time job but I am available all weekends and most days during the week. My current job is very flexible and would be willing to work with me to help you. I have a car and am able to take care of your dogs or cats at various points in the day. I love going for walks (or even runs if your dog is in that mood)

“Ruby was great taking care of our dog Georgia!”

About: I grew up with multiple dogs in the house and helped my grandma with her foster dogs. I am looking to gain more experience with dogs to help make my decision if I could make training/watching animals as a profession. Also I am here for your dogs so anything that make them comfortable I am willing to do. I am currently working full-time at Eagle Eye Farm 8am - 4:30pm. For house sitting in can do it on weekends or just nights on weekdays. I can also talk with my employer about changing times for a short amount of time. We do have a dog at home that takes a while to get used to other dogs so I would prefer to watch your dogs in their own environment.

“We only needed Maddie to check on our dogs x for 1 day. Maddie was great! She sent pictures of the dogs every time she checked in. Was there at designated check-in times.”

About: Hey, my name is Summer. I’m double majoring at UW River falls to become a vet tech and major in animal science. I’ve worked at a boarding and training facility for 9 years of all animals horses, dogs, cats. I’ve also was an assistant at a vet clinic so I have tons of hands on experience. I currently also work at a training facility in River falls called Crystal Clear Canine Training. I’ve worked with animals of all ages and know what it’s like to leave animals in other people’s care, you only want the best. Like I said above I currently work at a training facility throughout the week but always get a lunch break so I am able to stop in if need be. 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.
