Pet Sitting West Saint Paul

“Andrea is great! We were gone overnight and she made sure to accommodate our dogs' schedules, as well as tailoring the visit to fit their needs. We received visit updates complete with walk routes--I would highly recommend her!”

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.

“Blake did a fantastic job visiting our old dog — letting her out and spending some time with her while we were away for some long days. Loved the photos too.”

About: I began my carrer in animal care at Kings court pet resort in Sacramento, California where I took care of dogs, cats, and even pigs! I will treat your pet the same I did while I worked there. If needed I can bathe dogs (not cats), feed the animal special foods with special feeding methods, play with them for as long as needed, and will love the animal just like they are my own. That began my career in the animal field, then I took matters to the medical side of animal care where I became a kennel technician for All About Pets animal hosptial in Sacramento, eventually moving to Santa Cruz and working at the VCA Animal hospital for about a little under 5 years where I learned how to vaccinate animals, prep them for surgery, and ultimately help them feel calm and comfortable in such a stressful environment. With all of this experience and methods I have learned I think I would be a wonderful fit for your pet. I'm currently between jobs, but usually my career consists of Public Safety Dispatching and answering 911 calls. I am in the background check process for multiple agencies and expect to get back to full time within the next couple months. In the meantime I have been enjoying walking my friends pets and taking care of them like they are my own. My schedule at current moment is wide open, nights and weekends available! I am a 2 walk a day type of person so if the peg can handle being on the go we will be out exploring the neighborhood! Coming from a medical background in regards to pets I put their well-being above all else. I recently lost my 12 year old pitbull lab Boba and am filling my heart back up with my 3 year old cat Peachy. I have sat through hard appointments with clients, prepped for emergency surgery, and stayed overnight with critical patients. With the preparation, patience, and the skills I've learned over the years I believe I have experience others sitters don't.

“Paige did a great job taking care of my two cats over a long weekend. She had great communication throughout my time away. I would definitely work with her again.”

“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. :)”

About: I am new to Rover, but I have many years of experience in taking care of animals. In addition to living with cats and dogs for most of my life, I have also volunteered as a dog walker at the humane society. In addition to pets, I also volunteered at the Wildlife Science Center with feeding animals such as foxes, raccoons, bobcats, a lynx, and skunks, and I had the opportunity to care for wolf pups at the International Wolf Center. I am recently retired, so my schedule is flexible. I am available during the day and most evenings and am able to work around your schedule. I currently have two cats and previously had dogs, so I understand the importance of keeping them on a regular schedule. Being around animals gives me joy, so I look forward to spending quality time with your pet. I follow your instructions and make sure to follow your pet’s lead when interacting with them. I send you pictures, so you can see how your pet is doing when you are away. I can also check mail and water plants if needed.

“Erica was great. We did a meet and greet before hand and my very nervous dogs warmed up to her immediately. She sent frequent updates and pictures! In one picture my dog was licking her face so I know that loved her!! We will be using her again in the future :)”

Victoria J.

“My first time using Rover. Kayleah was really great! The pictures she sent put me at ease, when I got home I saw that she had cleaned the floors! I was so surprised, what a treat! I am so glad this service is available!”

Beth E.

“Hannah was so great with our cats (one very timid, one very playful) and even helped put a cone on one of the cats which was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend!”

Aprill E.

“Jenna was awesome! Really helped me out with a short notice need. Dropped in to visit with my silly border collie. Followed instructions and communicated perfectly and sent great pictures!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs since my teenage years, from puppies to seniors. Lately, I’ve fostered and adopted senior rescues. I consider dogs some of the most special creatures on Earth. I work full-time from home and love having dog-walking breaks throughout the day. I can sit in your home (as long as there’s wi-fi so I can log into work) or mine. My 15-year old Chihuahua mix passed away recently, so I currently do not have an animal companion in my home, though that doesn’t last very long with me! I do not have a fenced-in yard; however, there is a walking path across the front street of my home and a city park across the street in the back.

About: I've had cats since I was a child. Neighbors, roommates, friends, and family have relied on me to take care of pets when they are gone. This has included feeding at a specific time in a specific way and at times giving medication. With a former roommate, I also found and rescued a young female cat during law school, and she turned out to be pregnant. We bathed and brushed her several times to get rid of fleas, got her spayed after pregnancy, and rehomed the kittens. I've had my own cat for a few years now, and I understand needing to maintain their routine and monitoring diet to address issues such as regurgitation of food due to poor city water quality or eating too fast or sensitive stomach issues. I am an attorney and can visit the cats in the mornings and evenings and during the weekend at regular times and ensure they receive love and playtime. I do not care for pets in my home, as my apartment is too small and my cat is more of an only child. However, I am very much able to spend at least a couple hours each day with my clients' cat(s) to feed them, maintain cleanliness of their spaces, play with them with their favorite toys, and give them pets as each cat prefers.

About: Caring for animals has been apart of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with pets and owned several of my own as an adult, so I know firsthand what it means to love an animal like family and what owners need when they hand them off to someone else. I'm comfortable with the full range of needs: puppies, senior pets, animals with medical conditions or special diets, and multiple pets at once. I've administered daily medications, followed strict feeding routines, and handled it all without missing a beat. Because I don't currently have pets of my own, I bring a lot of enthusiasm to every sit. Honestly, I miss having animals around and your pets get the full benefit of that. I take this seriously enough that clients have flown me across the country to care for their animals, which I think says more than anything else I could write in a bio. If you're looking for someone who will love your pets like their own and give you genuine peace of mind while you're away, I'd love to meet both you and them. Pet care isn't something I squeeze into my day. It is my day. I'm fully available and not juggling a rigid 9-to-5, which means your pets get consistent attention and care throughout the day rather than just morning and evening check-ins. Walks, feeding times, medications, cuddles, everything happens on their schedule, not mine. Whether you need someone for a quick drop-in or an extended house sit, I'm flexible and can make it work. I primarily care for pets in their own home because I believe animals are happiest in a familiar environment. Uprooting them from their space adds unnecessary stress, and keeping them in their element means they stay calmer, eat better, and settle in faster. When I'm in your home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I stick to your pet's existing routine as closely as possible, follow all instructions to the letter, and keep everything clean and tidy throughout my stay. I send regular photo updates so you always know how things are going without having to ask. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy pet and a home that looks exactly as you left it. The trust you place in me when you hand over your keys and your animals is something I take seriously, and I make sure you feel that from day one.

“We always know our puppers are in trusted and caring hands with Remy and Kevin.”

“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.

“Brittany was a great communicator, easy to do business with, and took nice pics of the pups. Thank you!”

About: I have been pet sitting for friends, family and other services for 8 years, but have always had pets in my life. I grew up with three cats and two large dogs. Since leaving home I have missed taking care of and being around pets so I love to help take care of others. I am currently in school pursuing my Master’s in Nursing and I am around most evenings, weekends, and holidays. I am reliable, communicative, and trustworthy and would love to meet your pet(s)! I work in Saint Paul but have most evenings, weekends, and holidays free! I am willing to house sit or walk, depending on the pet. I currently live in a pet friendly apartment with my very friendly cat. I am also incredibly comfortable taking care of pets in their own homes. Having worked as an on-call nanny for 8 years I am very used to helping out in others homes and needing to adapt!

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.

“Our dogs are happy when we leave so they can have their BFF Sharron come to play! Wipes away the guilt of being away when they feel like they’re on their own vacation.”
