Cat Sitters in Bloomington, MN

Julie

Julie looked after our fur-baby, Paddy, for 3 days on the last leg of her European trip. She was great in communicating with us, both before and during the sit. She bonded really easily with Paddy and it was wonderful to go away knowing he was in caring and attentive hands. We came back to an immaculately clean house and a very content cat. Julie is a kind and thoughtful person and we would have no hesitations in recommending her as a sitter. Thank you so much Julie!

Kjerstin & Bryce

Kjerstin was an awesome petsitter! She communicated effectively leading up to the sit, during the sit and afterwards! I appreciated Kjerstin's self-sufficiency and care for our elderly pup! She provided regular updates on Montana! We came home to a clean place and happy pup!

Kris

Kris was a wonderful sitter! She was able to be flexible with changes in our trip plans, which was so appreciated!! Our pets were very happy when we returned and clearly enjoyed their time with Kris. She left the space very tidy and clean. Kris was very friendly and polite and we enjoyed getting to know her before we took off. We would gladly have her back any time!

John

After meeting John the night before we left, it was comforting to know we would have someone who is thoughtful and considerate with our gang of 4-legged family for 10 days! John sent us frequent check-in photos to ensure all was good on the home-front and we could tell they were all very comfortable with John. We came back to a very tidy home and we would be glad to have John back! 👏

Cheri

Definitely the best pet sitters I’ve had. Great communication and picture updates. They went above and beyond to make sure the pets were happy. Thanks so much!

Miah

Miah was very self sufficient and was able to easily pick up the keys to get in to meet the boys. I was at my sisters Bachelorette party for the weekend and I didn’t have to worry about a thing especially since I tried to unplug from my phone as much as possible. She was even able to give Sawyer some ear drops for an ear infection he was getting over. She gave updates as requested and left the house nice and tidy and made sure to run the dishwasher and washer/dryer for me. Definitely a good sitter!

Jean

Jean stayed in our home and also took care of our elder cat, Eggs while we were away for 3 weeks. We got updates about Eggs and the house was so well taken care of. We met before we left for our trip and had a lot of things in common, which was nice. Thank you Jean!!!

Melissa

We recently had the pleasure of having Melissa and Tim look after our pets while we were away. Their dedication and affection were apparent from the start. They kept us updated with adorable photos of our pets, providing us with invaluable peace of mind. What impressed us the most was how our pets reacted upon our return. Normally, they tend to show some resentment after we've been away, but this time it was different. It was clear they had been very comfortable with Melissa and Tim, which speaks volumes about the quality of their care and attention. Moreover, upon our return, we were greeted with a wonderful surprise: Melissa and Tim had prepared a delicious dinner for us. It was an incredibly thoughtful and appreciated gesture after a long journey. They also left our apartment in perfect condition, demonstrating a level of care and responsibility that exceeded all our expectations. In summary, we can't recommend Melissa and Tim enough. They are exceptional sitters who go above and beyond, ensuring that both pets and owners feel cared for and valued. We will definitely trust them again for future pet sitting needs!

Susan

Susan was great. When she had a question there was no hesitation in asking. Odin was really well cared for. Susan left the house in great condition. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Andr & Stephen

Andrea and Alfie were great communicators. They left our house clean and our pups were spoiled and happy!!

Amy & Nate

Amy and Nate were fantastic house and pet sitters! While we were away from home, they communicated with us almost daily about our two cats and what they were doing. They sent us cute pictures of our cats. I know our cats loved them too as they sent us pictures of both cats curled up in our guest bedroom where Amy and Nate stayed. The day they left, they took off all the bedding and left it in our laundry room. Although I don't believe that house cleaning was expected at all, our house was spotless. They have our highest rating as wonderful, caring people.

Pernille

Pernille and Doug stayed for a week in July. In Phoenix!. We were thrilled to have them during our hot season. We were very comfortable with them and their communication during the stay. They took excellent care of our kitty as well as the property and kept us informed of any issues (e.g. paper goods stored in carport cabinet instead of indoors!) We certainly recommend them to anyone looking for a lovely reliable couple very familiar with dogs and cats.

Terry Ruth

What a truly lovely, knowledgeable, caring and friendly couple. 
Couldn't have had better care for our 3 dogs. 
Highly recommend them.

Steve

Sian was simply outstanding as a house and pet sitter. She and her partner Andrew very quickly won the trust and affection of our cat Chloe -- who I think actually fell in love with Sian over their two weeks together. Sian also took excellent care of our home, which was immaculate when we returned. We received frequent texts and photos to keep us up to date about what was going on in and around the house. We look forward to having Sian and Andrew come to our home again, and Chloe can't wait.
