Cat Sitting in Willernie

About: I’m confident and comfortable with both dogs and cats, including puppies, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy animals, and pets that need extra patience or attention. I also have experience with potty training puppies, reinforcing routines and basic commands, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have worked professionally for years as a pet sitter for a wide variety of animals. This has given me experience and confidence in handling different temperaments, routines, and care requirements. I also grew up homeschooled on lots of land, so pets have been part of my everyday life for as long as I can remember. Because I was home during the day, I spent a lot of time helping with feeding, training, socializing, exercising, and caring for animals of all ages and personalities. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, whether they’re my own pets or someone else’s. I truly view animals as part of the family, and I believe every pet deserves individualized care, attention, patience, and love based on their unique personality and needs. I would treat every single pet as if it was my very own fur baby. I recently got married to the love of my life and moved to Mahtomedi! My husband works full time, I, however, have a completely wide open schedule! I have always loved animals and would love to fill my week days with taking care and of other people’s fur babies. Monday- Friday I am available any time of day all day. I am also available on weekends depending on the weekend, so please feel free to reach out and ask if the weekend you’re hoping for aligns with my summer plans. If I am staying in the pets home, I am sure to keep their routine as similarly as their owners do, so that both the pet and the owner feel as safe and comfortable as they can. I would be more than happy to send pictures and videos of their pet to update them on how they are doing. If the pets were in my home, I would do my best to make that temporary transition as smooth and as comfortable for them as possible. Whether that be bringing their own toys or bed, or letting them snuggle in the bed with me if that’s what they are used to. With my schedule being solely dedicated to pet sitting, your pet will never lack attention in whatever ways they need! Whether that’s endless walks and tug of war, snuggles on the couch, or just having a safe hand around to make sure they are picked up after.

About: I have lived with cats since I was 14 years old and have looked after cats and dogs independently since I was 16. I am comfortable with administering medications from my time working at Grand Avenue Veterinary Clinic. I typically work a week day that leaves me away from the house from the hours of 7am to 7pm. Please consider this when determining if I would be a good option for caring for your furry family! As I will be in your and your pets home, making sure everyone is comfortable with me in the space! My goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible while you are away. If you have any specific concerns about going on walks or interacting with other humans and pets please let me know so I can abide by what works best for your family. I have been trained on how to pill animals who are nervous about medication to ensure that your pet recieves their medication and remains safe and supported in the process. If you should ask me to take care of your home I make sure to grab the mail daily and follow the motto of leave it better than you found it! I want to have you to come home to a clean house.

About: I grew up on a farm and have had animals around my whole life. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, and my work with people on the spectrum has helped me understand different personalities, routines, and comfort needs. I love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently available most weekdays when I’m not babysitting my nieces. I spend a lot of weekends in the cities right now, but I’m occasionally available on weekends as well. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, park trips, or watching pets for a few hours at a time. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I pay attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level, whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, quiet time, or just keeping them company and making them feel loved while their owner is away.

“Over the years, Julie has watched our cats on multiple occasions. As with the prior instances, everything went flawlessly this time. Knowing that someone like Julie, who is trustworthy, professional, and thoughtful, is looking after our pets is very reassuring.”

“So thankful for Theresa! She took such great care of Sunshine while we were away. I highly recommend Theresa and will definitely use her again ;)”

“Leann was punctual for the appointed times to feed our kitty (and our kitty loves to be fed on time). She sent lots of cute photos letting us know our cat was eating well. She was caring and our kitty cat was in good spirits upon our return.”

About: I have been trusted by my neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family members to check in, feed, walk, and watch their pets for over a decade! I work a full time hybrid job allowing me flexibility throughout the majority of the week! I have the ability to work remotely for a majority of the week. In a clients home I will always respect your space, and remain as a trusted pet sitter. If there’s anything you’d like me to know about your environment please do!

About: I grew up having all kinds of pets, from small rodents, birds, cats, dogs, geckos, and fish. My love for animals has continued throughout my adult life and my comfortability around all kinds of animals is second to none. I work in private childcare, and am used to both entering into others homes and being respectful and trustworthy, and also provide loving and attentive care in my own home as well. Whether it's walks, cuddles, or reassurance that their parent will be back, your furry, cold-blooded, or feathered baby will be in good hands with me. Strong communication skills as well and as many photo updates as the pet parent would like! Monday through Thursday I leave around 7:45am for work and am back by 11:45 and home the remainder of the day! My 10 year old pup enjoys this schedule 😉 Friday through Sunday I’m home full-time. Lots of time spent playing, cuddling, and spending time relaxing together. I have a 10 year old female (fixed) 40 pound dog that is as sweet as can be and gets along with all animals! No prey drive whatsoever. We love walks, being outside, and cuddling on the couch at the end of the day.

“Meredith always does a great job with our senior dogs!”

“Malcalisha took very good care of my Buddah and managed to bond with him when I hadn't ever seen him not be terrified of other people. She sent updates every day via photo and video, and was very responsive to messages.”

About: I have over 10 years of hands‑on experience caring for dogs and cats, including puppies and kittens, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m calm, patient, and highly reliable — flexible with scheduling and available on weekdays and weekends. I can support puppy/kitten socialization and basic training (crate, potty, leash manners), and provide gentle, attentive senior care including medication administration, joint‑friendly walks, and adapted routines for mobility or cognitive needs. I’m comfortable with special diets and medical schedules, skilled at reading body language to prevent stress, and I am happy to send as many photo updates as you desire! I structure my day around the pets in my care to provide consistent routines and attention. Weekdays I’m available for morning and evening walks, midday potty breaks, and play/supervised rest throughout the day — I can also provide all-day care when needed since I live in a secure apartment with a fenced dog area and can be with your pet at all times. Weekends I offer extended walks, extra playtime and socialization. I follow each owner’s feeding and medication schedule precisely, accommodate crate or training routines, and am flexible for early/late drop-offs or pickups when arranged. I’m happy to do a meet-and-greet to coordinate schedules and any special timing needs. I treat every pet like family and tailor care to each animal’s needs and household rules. I provide photo/text updates after visits, and will contact you and your vet immediately in an emergency. I’m happy to meet beforehand to review routines, medical needs, and any special instructions to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety. In my home I provide a clean, pet-safe environment (no toxic plants/chemicals, non-smoking), supervised play, regular potty breaks, leash walks, and quiet resting areas. I live in a secure apartment building with a fenced-in dog area and can be with your pet at all times if they need extra attention. I follow each owner’s feeding schedule, portion and medication instructions, and any crate or training rules. In a client’s home I respect your space and routines, lock doors and gates after every visit, refresh water, tidy any messes, and leave a detailed visit note. I use secure leashes and carriers as needed, offer enrichment (toys, games, gentle training), limit interactions with other animals unless approved, and monitor pets closely for signs of stress or illness.

“Hanna was responsible, communicative and loving to our dog while we were away. She went above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable and happy. We look forward to using her services again in the future!”

“Rachel always does a great job with our dogs. They absolutely love her and it makes us feel better about being away knowing they will be well taken care of!”

About: I have a very flexible schedule and I'm happy to be there for walks and potty breaks or house and pet sitting as-needed. Minnesota native. I look forward to hearing from you. I have a small dog of my own and I take her for walks as needed, although she has severe arthritis and needs daily medication and monitoring. I am accustomed to letting her out to go to the bathroom at least every 4-5 hours. She is my pride and joy, and I'll ensure your canine family member is treated with equal care. I also care for my mother's large dogs often and grew up with larger breeds. There are 3 dogs in my household already, so boarding your dog at my residence may be a challenge, but I have done it before with enough time for a couple meet and greets beforehand. I am more than willing to come to you for your overnight needs or for daily walks and playdates.

About: I’ve owned both dogs and cats. Experience with both. We lost our dog in March so our house is feeling empty right now and would love to have your fur baby over to keep us company. I am also available for walks or drop ins in the evenings and weekends. I currently work full time, usually 8-4. I can come home on my lunch break for potty breaks. I only work 7 mins from home. I do have a 7 year old daughter that is in the home as well. We have a fenced in yard that is great for dogs to run. We also have a lot of windows and bird feeders for cats to sit and watch the birdies.

“Emma did a great job working with my puppy Paddy during her drop in visits. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures! Will use her in the future!”
