Cat Sitting in Waconia

“Kathy did a great job looking in on our cat for a week. We had a very nice meet-and-greet, and while we were away she sent multiple photos and gave informative reports for each visit. I would not hesitate to book her again.”

About: I have had both cats and dogs for as long as I can remember! I have had both through all stages of their lives, puppy/kitten - senior. I also have experience with administering medications. I am a college student who misses my own pets, and I would love to help care for yours so they do not get lonely! I am currently a college student and I do not have another job at the moment. This semester I am in class from 12pm-3pm M/W/F, and 8am-1:30pm on T/Th. Outside of that, I am a student leader so I have meetings on Monday’s from 3:30-5pm and events on some Friday's. However, I make sure to find time on my lunch breaks and before and after class to make sure pups can get outside and get a little love in between the times I have to be away. At my home, I have a fenced in yard for my dog, who is generally very well behaved, but I do not leave him unattended for long. He loves to wrestle and be brushed, so we do that often. He gets food once daily, per vet recommendations. In the past when I have had cats, they loved to cuddle and were pretty lazy. I cleaned out their litter box’s every 1-2 days, and they were grazers so I kept their food and water full daily.

“Lindsey and her daughters did a fantastic job with our cat, Nova! Nova really enjoyed the extra company. Lindsey was reliable, trustworthy, and it’s the first time she hasn’t been anxious when we’ve been gone!”

“We’ve had a great experience with Katie. She’s so great with our two dogs, including one with special needs. They just love her and the kids. Cannot recommend enough.”

“I would highly recommend Mackenzie’s services! She took great care of my senior kitty during a week of drop-in visits and was very attentive to detail, trustworthy, and kind. I also really appreciated that she was willing to stick to a specific schedule and routine for my cat, even over the holidays. Thank you so much, Mackenzie!”

“Desiree completed multiple drop-in visits (2x daily) during a week-long vacation for my two senior cats. Mr. Twix is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day. Desiree was happy to stop over ahead of the trip to go over insulin and daily routines. I asked for photo updates and Desiree was happy to share! She graciously cleaned one poo mess and even helped reset the fuse box when the cat fountain stopped working. Twix and Butters were calm and happy when I arrived home. I felt comfortable on my trip knowing the kids were getting love in my absence!”

Jennifer A.

“Amy was absolutely fantastic! Her attention to both of our cats a 6 year old and kitten helped put our minds at ease. She provided wonderful updates both with pictures and written information, went above and beyond by coming 2x a day and stayed beyond the time asked. Her services are greatly appreciated and we will be using her again!”

About: I’ve had a dog for 6 years and have always loved being around animals. I’m experienced with daily care including feeding, walks, playtime, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable. I’m dependable, patient, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I recently graduated college and have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for and spend time with pets. I’m available for walks and drop-ins during weekdays. I am available for pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I’ll make sure your pet gets lots of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away.

I always make sure pets have fresh water, attention, exercise, and a calm environment. I’ll follow any routines or instructions closely and treat your pets like they’re my own.

“Emily was amazing with our our little dog. He is very apprehensive of people other than us, but Emily was kind and gentle and made sure he was well taken care of. We would definitely recommend her.”

Wendy M.

“The level of detail that Regina provided with each visit is the quality of care that I’ve been looking for in a cat sitter for years!!! Finally, I can fully enjoy my time away knowing my cats are well cared for! The app worked flawlessly! I received an alert at the beginning and end of each visit. Regina was extremely attentive and provided detailed information and photos of both cats after each visit. So grateful to have found Regina! Will definitely use her again! Highly recommend!”

“Kiaira is an angel and a Godsend!! I don’t know what we would’ve done without her. Our dogs loved her. I will be booking her every time I need someone and she is available. Kiaira and her fiancé are truly a gift! We’re so grateful for them!”

About: I have grown up with a dog and cats. I am very familiar with how to successfully care for pets because I don’t remember my life without pets. Growing up, I had both a dog and cats that I helped take care of. I was involved in feeding them, bathing them, and making sure they felt loved and cared for. I also spent a lot of time walking my dog, which I really enjoyed. take care of pets by making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I meet their basic needs like feeding, walks, and playtime, while also adjusting to their unique personality. My goal is to make every pet feel happy and loved, just like they would with their owner.

“Sarah is the best pet sitter and will take great care of your fur babies! I use her regularly to take care of my senior cat with heart disease who requires medication twice a day, and I always know he’s in great hands!”

About: I have owned both cats and dogs in my life time, as well as pet sat for many friends and family over the years. I currently own a black American shorthair cat named Daisy :) I am a single mom who has my kids 50% of the time. When I have my kids, I cannot do overnights but I am open to dog walks, play dates, and feedings. When I do not have my kids I have more flexibility to be with your animal(s) for a longer period of time Given my townhome and the pet I own I currently cannot have animals stay with me. I care for all animals with the utmost gentleness and care. I am able to play with and walk dogs / cats

“Megan has been nothing but super sweet to my pup. She leaves thorough notes immediately after her visits and takes THE best photos of my pup. I feel so safe and comforted knowing she’s checking in on her during a long day. I highly recommend Megan to watch your dog”

About: I have cared for animals all my life! Cats and dogs have a special place in my heart and I am patient and gentle. I have cared for kittens and senior cats as well as a dog with a traumatic upbringing. I work full time and am able to care for your pet family after 5 pm on weekdays or anytime on weekends. I am a natural early riser and am comfortable taking early morning walks. Weekends are open for overnight or frequent visits. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I am comfortable safely harnessing and waking dogs. I am mindful of dog etiquette while walking and encountering other dogs.

“This is the second time that Brittany has taken care of my cat while I was away. I highly recommend her to all pet parents, you will not be disappointed! I look forward to her taking care of him in the future.”

About: 🐾 About Me Hi! I’m Anna — lifelong animal lover, certified cat-obsessed, and the kind of person who stops to say hi to every dog on the sidewalk. I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I lost my soul kitty, Aida, who taught me so much about love, patience, and tuning into an animal’s emotions. Because of her, I show up for every pet with extra gentleness, attention, and respect. I know how important it is to feel like your pet is safe, understood, and happy while you're away. I’m calm, reliable, and easygoing — but also fun, playful, and fully committed to making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your pet is social, shy, quirky, energetic, or a little stubborn, I meet them exactly where they are. 🐶🐱 My Pet Care Approach ✨ All animals welcome — cats, dogs, seniors, shy pets, and everything in between. ✨ I prioritize safety, routine, and communication. ✨ I’m patient with anxious or nervous animals. ✨ I give lots of updates so you never wonder how things are going. I understand how hard it can be to trust someone with your pets — so I make it easy by treating them like my own. 💬 What Services I Offer -Drop-In Visits Perfect for feeding, litter scooping, playtime, cuddles, and check-ins. I’m great with shy cats. 💖 Why Choose Me? • Calm, patient energy animals naturally relax around • Experienced with cats of all ages • Big heart for pets with quirks, anxiety, or special routines • Reliable, communicative, and never rushes through visits • A little extra love in honor of Aida, my heart kitty Since I work from home, it’s easy for me to step out for drop-ins or walks throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate morning, mid-day, or evening visits. Pet care blends smoothly into my week and gives me something grounding and joyful to look forward to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the routine you already have in place. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications as needed. I also pay close attention to your pet’s mood and body language so I can adjust my approach — some pets want play, some want cuddles, and some prefer calm company. For house sits (no overnights), I make sure pets feel comfortable in their space, stick to their schedule, keep things tidy, and give frequent photo updates so you always know they’re doing well.

“Dayjah is so good to us, and our kitty Penelope. She's flexible, communicative, and so thoughtful, even picking up all of Penelope's toys that we leave strewn about when we're away. 🥰”

About: Hi! I’m Megan, and I’ve spent years working hands-on with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have a strong background in pet care, including working as a dog trainer for both group classes and private clients, as well as experience in dog daycare, boarding, and veterinary settings. I’ve cared for dogs in many environments and I’m comfortable handling everything from basic care to more behavior-focused needs. I have experience reading dog body language and helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve been extensively involved in rescue work as a foster home and running a shelter behavior group of volunteers so I’m especially patient with reactive, anxious, or higher-needs dogs. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and tailoring care to what works best for them. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, you can count on me to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care—just like I would for my own. I’m currently a stay at home mom and so I am able to be flexible in most cases. Evenings and weekends will be my most available times! I have two dogs of my own who are very used to new animals coming and going. I don’t have a fenced backyard, but do have tie outs or can leash walk any pets at my home. Every animal has different needs, so I will do my best to figure out what sleeping arrangements make them the most comfortable during their stay (I have kennels of every size so people do not need to bring theirs back and forth unless they prefer to). I’m well versed in methods of calming for pets that might be nervous. I do have a 6 month old infant at home who is very used to dogs, but any pets coming in to my home would need to be safe and comfortable around her.
