Cat Sitters in Burnsville, MN

Jaime & Connor

Jaime was amazing and all four of our doggos love her! She was very good at sending pics and happily Did all that we asked. She was great giving meds to one of our dogs and dealing with their raw diets. We would love to have her back again

Marisha

Dependable and took good care of my cat. A solid choice for pet sitting.

Colleen & Jhan

Colleen and Jhan are the best. They dealt with contractors going in and out due to a recent wash machine flood. They took it all in stride. Kept us updated as to what the contractors were doing, kept us in the loop with any questions and helped us with video and pictures so we could approve repairs! We had our dog with us but all of our plants were well attended. Awesome, helpful couple who go the extra mile. They are welcome to house sit us any time!

Jennifer

Jennifer and Chris were amazing housesitters! Super communicative leading up to and during our time away. We loved getting the updates and pics of our fur babies while we were away. The house was clean and the dogs were very happy when we returned home. We have 3 rowdy dogs in a rural setting which can be overwhelming but Jennifer and Chris handled it like pros.. even with our 2 quirky rescue dogs. I felt great about leaving our dogs and home in their care and would definitely have them housesit again in the future if the opportunity arose. Thank you, Jennifer and Chris!!!

Susie

Susie was the perfect house and pet sitter. She was proactive in communicating prior to the sit and kept us informed while we were away. We are so grateful that our vacation aligned with her availability and hope to have her back in the future!

Lea

Lea was kind enough to fly in the night before to meet with Luna and the cats. Everything went smoothly in advance of our departure the next day. Upon our return, our house was in order with the sheets and towels in the laundry and the dishes in the dish washer cleaned. It was clear our dog was in excellent hands. Our cats are a bit more skeptical of strangers so they were very happy to see Mom & Dad again. I would recommend Lea to care your fur-babies!.

Roberta Gibbons & Dyne

We absolutely loved having Roberta watch our two large pups and keep an eye on our place while we spent time out of town. It was obvious the dogs were well taken care of, she sent updates while we were away, and we returned to a very clean house. She is quick to communicate, reliable, and trustworthy. We would welcome Roberta back any time!

Debra

I am so thankful Debra chose to spend the week with my girls! I fear they may have even liked her too much!!! She took excellent care of them and left me home in perfect conditions. She kept me updated on how things were going and didn’t hesitate to ask questions. My girls loved the fact that she worked remote and was home they most of the time (my yorkie has made that very clear as she’s gone back to hiding when it’s time for me to kennel her when I’m leaving - something she didn’t do once with Debra but did literally the moment Debra left my house). We can’t wait to have her back (especially Sadie, who I think would’ve been happy if Debra had taken her with her!).

Laura & Andrew

Laura was an excellent pet and housesitter. Easygoing and self sufficient. She is a very nice person. Highly recommend her to care for pets and home. I appreciate her flexibility to stay an extra night due to my flight changes.

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!!!

Anne

Anne was awesome! She came with a smile and left with a smile. My dogs loved her! She kept me updated and did everything I asked. I would definitely recommend her!

Sara

Sara gets five stars from all of us! She saved the day when our housesitter canceled less than 24 hours before the sit was supposed to start. We were incredibly grateful that she was available! Sara read our guide in full before the sit, and arrived early in the morning to meet us. Blue and Nacho were immediately drawn to her warm and kind disposition and we were at ease knowing our home and pets were in good hands. Sara kept us updated with a daily pic of the doggies and we came home to find our house just as we left it. We would recommend Sara to anyone looking for a self-sufficient sitter with a friendly personality. Happy travels Sara! We hope our paths cross again.

Julia

Dawn and Martin are the perfect pet sitters. 

Tom and Penny were happy and healthy and clearly enjoyed time with their new friends. 

Right from the start, they were personable and easy to communicate with. 

We highly recommend Dawn & Martin and couldn’t have hoped for better people to look after our home and fur babies. 

Thank you Dawn & Martin!

Celia

Shama has been a wonderful house and pet sitter for our two Border Collies Betsy and Dotty. She is organised, efficient with a warm, friendly personality and connected straight away with our two dogs. She kept us up to date with the dogs progress with photos and messages particularly when one of them was quite ill. Her dealing of that particular situation was quick, empathetic and loving. Her actions prevented Dotty from further pain and illness. We have returned to a warm, clean, tidy home and two very contented dogs. I have no hesitation in recommending Shama to further house and pet owners and will definitely use her in the future.
