Cat Sitting Savage

“I’m very picky about who watches my cat, and Patricia exceeded all expectations. Patricia was attentive, trustworthy, and took the time to make sure my cat felt comfortable and loved while we were away. I appreciated the updates and photos so much. I would absolutely recommend Patricia to anyone needing a caring pet sitter.”

“Claire is the best! Our kitties love when she comes to visit, and we love knowing that they’re well taken care of. Thanks for everything, Claire!”

“Mary did a wonderful job taking care of my cat. She followed my instructions well and did her best to make him comfortable. He is a finicky cat and not a fan of other people, but she let him get used to her in his own time. She provided thorough updates and lots of pictures, so I knew he was in good hands. Would 100% use her services again in the future.”

“Haley was great. Took sweet pictures of my cats so I knew they were happy. Very reliable. I will definitely hire again when I have the need. She opened the door for me to be comfortable leaving them with her. Thanks Haley”

About: Between dogs and cats, I've had my own pets for a total of 25 years, but I've always loved animals in general. My dogs lived very long lives and my cats, even though I've only had them for a year, have found a very special place in my heart. From the "I love you" slow blinks, to the Puss in Boots pupils before they start tearing around the house, they're amazing in so many ways. I've been able to learn which cats like more space, which ones just want to be with you all the time, and when they just aren't quite themselves. We've (almost) conquered nail clipping, but not all the way yet. :-) Thankfully I'm self-employed so I make my own hours, which means I can be flexible and adjust things as needed. They give me a good reason to take breaks from work too, so it keeps things balanced. I would be taking care of them in their own homes, and it's important to keep things as familiar for them as possible, so I lean a lot on the instructions the pet parents give me, and follow those, as the pet parents know them better than anyone else. I have to be honest - I tend to talk baby talk to animals, so that comes with the package too. :-) I like sending regular updates to the owners because I know it can be hard leaving them, especially for longer stretches.

About: I am a recent graduate from St. Olaf College, and plan to pursue a doctorate in veterinary medicine after a gap year or two. I've taken care of pets of all sorts for friends, family, and neighbors since I was 10, and cared for my own animals for as long as I can remember. I have worked in a humane society and am comfortable working with all sorts of pets, of all shapes, sizes and ages. I have also worked in commercial kennel settings, with dogs with behavioral issues. I have experience cleaning up messes, providing enrichment, and administering medications, as well as caring for newborn and young puppies. I'm a full time college student who loves to spend my free time with all sorts of animals! I can visit during the day or stay overnights; feel free to reach out to hear more about my availability. I'm happy to keep your pets company in the comfort of their own homes, as well as taking them on any outings they usually enjoy!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always loved spending time with them. I’m a very active person and enjoy being outside, so I’m more than happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, and make sure they get plenty of exercise. I will meet your dog at their level, whether that means keeping up with a high-energy dog or enjoying some chill relaxation together. I can also help with basic training and reinforce good habits. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time as an engineer, but after recently moving to a new state, I’ve been missing having animals around. I decided to join because I’d love to spend time with pets and give them the care and attention they deserve. I’m up early and often up late, and I’m able to check in around lunch during my workday. I’m also available after I get off work at 4 PM, when I can spend more time with your pet, take them for walks, play with them, and give them plenty of attention. On weekends, I’m available all day and can dedicate as much time as needed to caring for your pet. I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure doors, gates, and other entry points are secure. I’m attentive to your pet’s behavior and needs, and I’ll always prioritize their safety and comfort. I also treat your home with respect by keeping things clean, being mindful of belongings, and leaving everything just as I found it. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!

“Perla did a great job looking after our 2 cats while we were away on vacation for 11 days. She took time to send us photos every day and took great care of keeping up on their food/water/litterbox. Our cats are normally very shy and took to her immediately, I will 100% use her services in the future 😊”

About: I've spent my entire life taking care of pets. I come from a family animal lovers, so I've spent a lot of time around animals. Although I love pets of all kinds, shapes and ages, I find I have special bonds with older dogs and snuggly cats. I grew up with 2 dogs and 2 cats and they were my constant companions. I'm comfortable giving medications as long as I am provided with detailed instructions. I appreciate detailed notes about how to care for your pet when more then the basics are needed. I look forward to taking care of your pet and loving them as much as you do. I work my regular job from 6am to 3pm, but when i come home i love to play with my little boy, Meeko. Meeko is a 13 year old Bengal that we rescued in 2014. He was abandoned and we spent a lot of time making him comfortable with us. Now he's the most loving boy. Meeko gets dry food throughout the day and wet food for dinner. He requires his water getting changed out multiple times a day, which we provide from his favorite source, the shower. For now, I am only offering to go to the clients house and not taking them into my home. My cat has some health issues and I don't like to cause him stress by inviting other pets into our home. but I do live next to a very nice park for walking around and I live near a dog park. i love going on walks with dogs and playing fetch. Running around them them and getting out their energy is definitely a goal i reach for.

“Jess was so wonderful to have watch our cat while we were away. She stayed at our place and kept our cat occupied with the laser and loved on while we were gone. I appreciated her sending pictures to us as well as coming home to a clean place! I would definitely recommend her and will use her again for the future. Thank you Jess!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, growing up with two cats and a dog who needed special care in her later years. I adopted 2 cats with FeLV, both having to eventually be put down after years of vet visits and medications. I am comfortable with higher maintenance pets, administering medication, and monitoring their well being. Over the years, I’ve dog sat for neighbors, helped potty train and puppy train my parents’ dog, and even fostered a very sick kitten who couldn’t stay at the shelter. I’ve fostered 2 cats in total, and I’ve had 3 cats in my adult life. These experiences have deepened my love for animals of all kinds and given me the skills to care for pets with different personalities and needs. I currently volunteer at pet haven weekly and plan to continue fostering cats with them. At the shelter I administer many different medications and help cats be comfortable in a not so comfortable setting. I am working full time 7-3:30 but it is flexible and can adjust a little if needed! I don’t have many extracurricular things going on so other than work I am 100% free. I keep an extremely clean environment and am very respectful when I am in a home that is not mine. I have been trusted by many to house and pet sit in the past.

About: I’m a dog mom of two, both with chronic conditions requiring medications 2 times a day. I’ve had dogs my entire life. I can teach sit, shake, lay down, roll over, and speak. I have a big house with plenty of room and a fenced in back yard with a dog door. My dogs have had plenty of socialization with others. I currently work 7am -4pm Monday through Friday. I am able to help with things after work during the week and all weekend long. My husband has availability on Thursdays and Fridays. Monday through Wednesday for 8 hours my dogs are crated. That is a possibility for a visiting dog as well I have a dog door to a fenced in yard and two dogs of my own. I can utilize crates or a guest bedroom at my home. I can help with baths, walks, and overnight care. My dogs sleep in bed with me and there’s room for more. My very loving husband can provide a few more hours of availability on Thursdays and Fridays

About: I am also a pet sitter on the app TrustedHouseSitters and really enjoy the journey of pet sitting! I grew up LOVING dogs but was never allowed one and only grew up with cats & a bearded dragon of my own, so I would only get the chance to be with dogs when it came to friends having them. As I got older and attained my own place, I took it upon myself to dog sit for my friends, family, and sometimes neighbors. I’ve been doing this for 4 years now, in my home and their homes as well. The longest I have dog sat is for a year for a family friend while they were away in the military. (The dog was untrained and very hard to take care of lol) I have an unconditional love for all animals! I am a fashion model and a brand ambassador, so my work is all very flexible and I get to decide when I will work. When saying in home and taking care of your pet, I will take all the precautions and needs that are to be provided to your pet seriously.

About: Our family has been dog crazy every since I can remember. I've pet sit since I was a child and have had family dogs my whole life, both big and small, and love the individualness of every breed. I believe it's important to know about each breed I care for as well as each dog's personality and temperament. I am looking forward to doting on yours! I'm an early riser, so your dog's day starts bright and early with me. I work full time, but my schedule has real flexibility in it, which means I'm around for midday potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins rather than being gone for one long stretch. Daily walks are already part of my routine, and I'm lucky to live near a dog park and plenty of green spaces, so there's always somewhere good to explore. Your dog's health and comfort come first with me. I'm experienced with dogs who need daily or as-needed medications and I'm careful about following your instructions exactly as you give them. Walks are always matched to your dog — a senior who prefers a slow stroll gets a slow stroll, and an energetic pup gets to burn off that energy. My home is a safe place where visiting dogs can relax and feel at ease.

About: I have tons of experience with my sister’s and friends dogs growing up. I love them more than anything and I’m looking forward to meeting more! I do work a full time job from 8-4:30 Monday-Friday I’m available most evenings and all weekends. I work full time but always during the day. I will make it work in the worst case scenario! I live in a very nice apartment in Eden Prairie and a nice area as well. I have a lot of nice parks around too!

“Presley was great with my cats! She came to meet them before I would be gone which gave me great peace of mind. She also gave updates with pictures everyday.”

About: I hold a degree in Animal Science from the University of Wisconsin–River Falls, where I completed a variety of courses focused on animal care, behavior, and management, along with gaining valuable hands-on experience in dog training. I also have over eight years of experience fostering and training service animals. Through this experience, I have developed a strong understanding of canine behavior and am comfortable working with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I prioritize patience, consistency, safety, and individualized care for every dog I work with. I especially enjoy spending time outdoors and going on walks, and I look forward to providing your dog with plenty of exercise, companionship, and attention. I’m excited to meet you and your pet and provide reliable, high-quality care while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize providing consistent, attentive care. I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I especially enjoy incorporating walks and outdoor time into my day and look forward to making pet care a rewarding part of my regular routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow each pet’s individual care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and any specific preferences or routines. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while respecting the pet’s space and personality. I also understand that caring for a pet means caring for their home, so I am respectful, responsible, and mindful of keeping the space clean and secure. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
