Cat Sitting South Saint Paul

“We can’t thank Jill enough for stepping in and helping us last minute when another sitter bailed on us. The amount of love, attention, updates, and pictures she shared are above and beyond what we hoped for. Both animals took her in immediately and highly recommend everyone to book her:)”

“Mary did a great job with our Great Pyrenees! Smooth transition from home to a walk and back again. Our pup looked so happy on her walk with Mary. :)”

“Paige is the BEST! Leo loved hanging with her and she took GREAT care of our baby boy! Even cleaned up poop on our couch after Leo was upset we left him! I highly recommend her ♥️”

About: Caring for pets has been a part of my life for a long time, through both pets of our own and foster pets! We’ve been fostering for the past decade and have cared for over 30 dogs and cats. I have experience with dogs with all kinds of personalities, including shy, anxious, and reactive. My favorite thing about animals is they all have their own personalities, and I love learning about who they are! My approach is to meet pets where they’re at and let them set the pace for our interactions, especially those who need a little extra time to feel comfortable with someone new. Senior dogs have an especially big place in my heart, as we have two of our own, and I’m very comfortable with the extra patience and care older pups sometimes need. I’ve also fostered and spent time with dogs of many breeds, sizes, and personalities, including bully breeds which are always welcome! I work a hybrid schedule with quite a bit of flexibility. I generally don’t work Sundays or Mondays, work from home most Wednesdays and Fridays, and am typically flexible throughout those days. I’m usually in the office Tuesdays and Thursdays, but am generally only away for 4–6 hours at a time and can often adjust my schedule with advance notice. Some of my work is event-based, so I occasionally need to be away for ~2 hours on an evening or Saturday morning. When I have an evening commitment, I make a point to spend more time at your home and with your pet during the day. For stays longer than 2 or 3 nights, I’ll occasionally stop by my own home to see my spouse and our own pets, for no more than a couple of hours at a time every other day or so. About 6 hours would be the longest I’d generally plan for your pet to be on their own, though this is the max and it would typically be less. During the meet and greet, we can talk through your pet’s specific needs and possible scheduling accommodations. I’m currently available for house sitting in your home, as well as walks and drop-in visits. We have a full house of our own (including fosters!), so I’m not offering boarding or daycare in my home at this time. I will treat your home as a guest in it; I’m tidy and will clean up after me and your pets! What is helpful for me to know is what your pet’s typical day looks like, if they have any favorite or important parts to their routine, and ways they like to get stimulation (walk, play, puzzles). Where do they sleep? As much information as you can tell me about your pet is better so I can keep things as normal for them as possible!

“Ron did a great job making friends with our 18 year old cat! He took great care of her and was able to give her some transdermal medication. We will definitely call Ron again!”

“Erin has been a huge blessing for us and our dog! She has always arrived right on time and has taken the time and patience to convince our older, anxious golden doodle to be friends. We are always nervous leaving our spoiled, attention seeking girl home alone but knowing Erin is stopping in for visits to play or have a potty break makes us feel more comfortable and relaxed knowing she's in good hands!”

About: I am experienced in caring for all sorts of animals; from your standard dogs and cats to lizards, birds, fish, and bunnies. Personally my own pets were a cat, salamander, fish and a dog. I recently adopted 2 kittens of my own and I live with other people who are able to care for them while I'm away loving on your pets. I also have experience with giving animals medication. I work a job during the day from 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday, but am able to spend overnights with your animals as well as weekends or holidays (my family is local so I don't travel over holidays). I am available for dog walking, in-home/overnight care, or daily drop-in care. I want to make sure that the transition is as smooth as possible between my care and yours so I try to keep your pet's schedule as close to your current regimen as possible. I care for every animal as if they were my own and currently have no pets of my own which allows me to give all my attention to your furry friends. Before caring for your pets I love to get a little bit of a house tour to learn where you keep the food, treats, litterboxes, litter for the boxes, toys, etc. Additionally if you have your pet's vet information and/or list of nearby emergency pet clinics this is always appreciated information which I hope I never need to use but is good to keep on hand.

“Donna was a fantastic sitter. She kept us up to date on our cats and went above and beyond with cleaning up accidents. We will certainly hire her again.”

Emily M.

“Jennifer had great communication and was always sure to send photos of the kitties during her visits. She was even able to get my shy kitties to come out for treats 🥰”

Ashley G.

“Jess is qualified, caring and on-time. She takes excellent care of our animals. We will continue to use her services and would happily recommend her to others!”

Kat M.

“Andrea went above and beyond taking care of our pets while we were out of town! Very responsive and genuinely cared for our pets. I felt at ease and knew that they were in good hands.”

Darcie F.

“Second time booking with William for a much longer out of state trip and he was great!!!! Super punctual and responsive! I felt comfortable leaving my anxious dog with him! Will definitely be booking with him again.”

Travis M.

“Rachel did a great job taking care of our cat while we were out of town. We loved getting our daily Pickles update and she was a happy cat when we got home!”

Lacey R.

“Katie was great, she came through on a somewhat last minute request when my prior sitter was no longer available, and made it work! I came home to a pretty mellow kitty and had the ease of knowing she was getting some love while I was away. No complaints!!”

Judy M.

“Tara is kind and communicative, and she was very good with my two cats. (Truth be told, I think they like her more now than they like me!) Plenty of pictures and updates, too. Would definitely hire her again to look after my furry fellas!”

Kim K.

“Kyle was always prompt for visits to give my cat his medications. He provided great updates regarding how administration went, was patient with my cat, and was respectful to my house! Cannot recommend him enough!”

About: Hello! My name is Mars (he/him) and I'm excited to start petsitting in the area! I have been taking care of others' pets since high school, and formerly worked as a Veterinary Technician Assistant at the University of Minnesota. I also have plenty of experience with special-needs and senior care, so if you have a pet that needs a little bit of extra love I would be the perfect fit! I know your pet is a member of your family, and I will do my absolute best to make them feel safe and loved while you’re away. I'm available most weekends for either dropping by and/or walks, or staying with your pet(s) in your home if you'll be gone overnight or for the weekend. Over the years I have stayed with many pets in their own homes, and believe this is usually a better option to boarding because your pet(s) will be more comfy and I will be able to help them maintain more of their usual routine.

About: Growing up in a house of animals, and having a small zoo of my own (2 dogs and 2 cats), I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have dog and cat sat for friends for years. I am currently available for Drop ins and Walks. I try to spend a bare minimum of 15 minutes with any drop in to make sure they get all the attention that they need. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I understand that all Walks aren't created equal. My Walks always vary based off of the needs of the dog. I am also an avid cat lover. I am more than happy to stop by and feed, clean the litter box, and snuggle/play with your feline friends. Currently I work full time on the West side of the cities, but I have Sundays and Mondays off to help with your animal needs. My hope is to expand my availability over time. My current weekend lines up with some weekdays. I spend most of those days out and about, so I'd love to check in on some cute animal while I am at it! Slow and steady is always best. I am a believer in letting animals come to you. I have experience with a kennel trained and unkennel trained dogs. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I am experienced in walking all sizes of dogs.

“Did an amazing job! We had to find somebody at the last minute and she was more than willing to come and help us out! We would hire her again in a heartbeat and look forward to working with her again in the future. She played with our pets every single day and included all the extras. We could not have been more pleased and our superb bashful pets absolutely loved her! Thank you Megan for all that you did for us!! We apologize for the delay in her deserved review. We have added a new furry addition to the family that she will be visiting sometime in the future . Mike and Melissa.”

“Great first experience with Rover. Everything was taken care of and I had piece of mind that there was someone back home looking after my cats. Thanks, Jake!”
