Pet Sitting in Saint Paul

“Sophie did a wonderful job looking after our two kitties during a recent trip. They couldn’t be more different, and it’s clear she knows how to interact with all types of pets. She provides thorough updates and great communication during the visit. Our cats may be in a little distress when we leave, but it’s helpful to have a friendly presence checking in on them.”

“Very professional! My normally shy cat warmed up to Mae instantly, which was amazing! I got some great and funny pics to assure me the kitties were well cared-for and entertained! Mae was wonderful!”

“I'm so glad that I found Tanya on Rover. Her gentle and truly caring spirit toward my cat, Rune, was deeply reassuring while I was away on a trip for a few days. Tanya was genuine, warm, and consistently communicative from the moment I booked her. The photos she sent during each of her daily visits also let me know just how much Rune was enjoying her company :) I feel very grateful, and will definitely reach out again. Thank you so much, Tanya!”

“Laura was amazing! She kept me updated each day with pictures and even trimmed my cat’s nails while I was away! Every aspect of my cat’s needs/care was communicated very clearly before my trip. If you have cat’s and are planning on going out of town I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Rachel is always very quick to respond, communicates well, arrives on time and just loves my cat! She is my first choice when I need a sitter! Highly recommend!”

“I've known Johanna for 2 decades. She's a caring, genuine person and an animal advocate. She's had several pets through the years that have all been well taken care of - most recently, a cherished St. Bernard who lived a long and full life. She has experience with rabbits, cats, dogs, and horses - and those are just what I can recall. Johanna used to watch my dog from time to time and she was always joyful when Johanna came by. If we ever get another dog, Jo would be the first person I'd ask to help out as the time comes. Johanna would make an excellent sitter or walker and has years of experience to prove it!”

“Angela was great! She is very experienced and very comfortable with any and all instructions I gave! She took great care of my cats, and I never worried about them while I was gone!”

“Thorough and responsible. Thor genuinely cared for Penny the dog”

“Kelsey was wonderful! She’s super fast to respond to messages, and we got great text and photo updates each day. Our cats were in great hands!”

“Sara was so awesome to work with and she provided everything needed for my thicc little cat! I cannot express how helpful she was. Saved me from a huge headache for the holidays. LOOK NO FURTHER BOOK HER NOW!”

“Ariana is amazing. She knew just what to do to create a sense of safety and calm for my highly anxious dog. My dog, Gracie quickly lost her fear and was happily playing and interacting with Ariana in no time! To say I’m impressed would be an understatement. She is a natural with animals. We feel lucky to have found her! Thanks Andria & Rover! :)”

“Hannah was a pleasure to work with, and both cats (including our shy cat) clearly enjoyed her visits! I felt confident they were well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Hannah!”

“Lacie and our dog Finn became fast friends despite his anxiety as a cattle dog. She was able to understand his body language well which allowed him to warm up to her and prevent him from reacting negatively against troublesome situations. With both excellent handling and patience, she excelled in caring for him while we were away.”

“Lucy is a very kind and responsive sitter. She took such great care of my 2 cats and was very attentive to their care. She kept everything tidy and sent pictures of them. I felt very relaxed knowing they were in good hands. I would 100% book her again.”

“We absolutely love Jill and so do our pets! Jill is reliable, punctual, absolutely meticulous on the details and cares for our pets like they were her own while we're away. We cannot recommend her services enough! Thank you Jill ♥️”

“I booked Danielle for a daily check-in with my two cats while I was on a trip. She sent pics of them every day and obviously they love her very much! I would definitely rebook with Danielle in the future!”

About: For over 20 years, I’ve worked in the fields of animal care & training, and have done so both professionally and as a volunteer. Most of that experience was focused on animal care, behavior, & training, and I’ve worked for and with animal shelters, rescues, service dog training organizations, private individuals, and others. Having always had cats and dogs of my own, caring for others’ animals others seemed to come quite naturally and has always been something I’ve greatly enjoyed. I have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats at every life stage. I am also skilled at basic first aid techniques and medication administration for both cats and dogs, the result of working in the medical clinic of an animal rescue/sanctuary where I trained as a veterinary assistant. I approach each new interaction with an animal with enthusiasm and respect for both that animal as well as the humans who love them, and regard each dog and cat as an individual, respecting them for who they are and often learning much more from them than they could ever learn from me. I will always strive to provide the best possible care, and the most rewarding environment, for those animals entrueted to my care. I always maintain full communication with, and follow the guidelines set by, animals’ human families. It is always an honor to have the chance to share the lives of your pet(s), and I would love the opportunity to meet you and your animal family member(s). If given the chance to care for your pets, whether in the course of a single, half-hour walk or during an overnight home-sitting stay spanning several days, I will always do everything within my power to ensure that their time away from you will be a positive, safe and enjoyable experience. My schedule for working outside my home typically follows the school year; during summers, this year starting in early May, I am available most days. While my schedule will become more limited in late August, I will still have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and housesitting! Even if my schedule shows I am not available, typically, I am still available in the evenings for drop-ins and walks! I will care for pets according to the wishes of my their families. If no furniture is allowed, then I’m glad to follow to the rules and keep the boundaries consistent!

“Jessica is great with pets. I have a Siberian husky and 2 cats and they all love her. She gives them lots of love and attention. She is prompt with her scheduling and follows through on her commitments. I know any time she is with my pets that they are safe and in good hands. She takes instructions well and ensures my pets do not miss a beat when they are in her care. Highly recommend!”

“Our dog, Baker, stayed at Kari's house over Thanksgiving. She made our nervous pup feel welcome and comfortable. Baker came back better behaved than when we left which never happens. Great job, Kari!”

“Amanda did a great job watching my three kitties over 8 days. When she first came to meet my cats they warmed up to her right away and I had no hesitations about her coming to watch them. She sent lots of photos and communicated well while we were gone. I highly recommend Amanda for your next booking.”
