Cat Sitters in Lilydale, MN

Kristin

Kristin was the perfect fit for taking care of our Murphy, Phoebe, and our home! She sent us regular updates, took Murphy for great hikes, and even bought him a harness which works great. We highly recommend Kristin and hope she comes back for another stay.

Amanda & Rich

Amanda and Rich are such an amazing, kind and understanding couple. Unfortunately our trip got canceled last minute, but we still invited them to stay with us, if they wanted too. And we are glad they did! We did decide to do a one night getaway to give them some alone time. Gabbie was so happy with them...she went on nice walks, had great snuggles and enjoyed spending time in her backyard with them. Charlie and I didn't worry one moment while we were gone. When we returned, Gabbie would run upstairs every morning to find her new friends. That lets us know she was well loved while we were gone. The evening they left, they had already washed the sheets/towels, re-made the bed, cleaned the bathroom and left everything perfect. We are very grateful Amanda and Rich decided to still do this sit despite us not going on travel. We met wonderful people who are now our friends. Now if we can just get them to move to Charleston :) In sum: Secure Amanda and Rich for your next sit. Your pet will be loved!

Petrina

Petrina stayed with our kitties over an extended weekend and she was great. She was extremely communicative and sent cute photos daily. She took great care of the cats and the house - everything was tidy and the cats were happy when we returned. We would recommend her!

Maureen

Maureen and Toby took excellent care of our home, two dogs and cat while we were away for the holidays. The pups were spoiled with lots of long walks, cuddles and even new toys for Christmas. Maureen kept us updated with daily texts and photos and left the house sparkling clean for our return. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and hope they stay with us again!

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!).

Heather

I had a lot of worries about leaving my cats and very timid dog with someone new, but Heather is a great housesitter! She treated my home and pets with so much love. I will definitely invite her back.

Joan

We posted a short, 1 1/2 day sit last minute and Joan and David submitted an application. Joan stopped by our house after work the day before the sit to meet the dogs, get keys and instructions. They were very attentive to our dogs, walking them 3 times. They sent us some pics of the dogs and even left us sketches of the dogs. I highly recommend them for your sitting needs.

Kelly

Kelly was awesome is everyway you would want in someone caring for your family, as I consider my dogs my "boys", in every sense of the meaning. I was blessed to be able to meet her prior to the sit and go over all the quirks my boys have and Kelly no doubt took the utmost care and concern with both of them. She communicated everyday with awesome pictures to match. I was also happy Kelly made a little time to explore this beautiful part of Florida. My boys might have preferred I stayed gone even a little bit longer as well as she care for them! Thank you Kelly!! Don't be surprised when you here from me again!!

Emily

Emily was absolutely amazing! She took great care of your animals and home! We would welcome her back anytime!

Sarah

Sarah took such great care of my 3 cats and my home. She housesat for me earlier this month and I was so happy to have her back! My cats can be shy, but they quickly warmed up to her. She also noticed that my cat Luna, needed some extra attention and love while I was gone. When I got home I could tell Luna had gained some more confidence while she was with Sarah. I was so amazed at the progress she had with Sarah! So grateful to have Sarah as a housesitter. My home was so clean when I arrived home and she was very communicative.

Tam

I recently had a fantastic experience with Tan who watched my three cats. She sent daily check-ins with the cutest videos, and it was evident that they had a blast playing together. She went above and beyond to cater to each cat's needs, ensuring they were happy and comfortable. Communication was a breeze; she was always responsive and approachable. I would absolutely love to have her housesit again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive pet sitter!

Alison & Jeremy

I am extremely grateful to Alison, Jeremy and their sweet family for taking care of my beloved puppy and kitties during this 4-day weekend. Alison was extremely reliable in communicating with me and making sure my furry family is comfortable and well taken care of! My fireballs had a ton of fun with them and I found them very relaxed and happy when I came back. Alison left the house in perfect order, with all sheets washed, and everything sparking clean! I was very impressed by their friendliness with me, and their attentive care and sincere love for my pets. I recommend them with any hesitation for homeowners who seek for reliable, self-sufficient, and loving care for their furry family. All the best to you all and hope that our paths cross again! Cheers Melanie

Jo

So pleased that Cozette and Roger stayed in my home to look after my two cats. In our call before the came they were considerate to the needs of the cats and in person they were good humoured and patient.

Each day I was away we exchanged pictures and update of the cats and recommendations of how to spend time in Sheffield.

They did a great job, and it really enabled me to enjoy my first big holiday since sharing my home with Umi and Amayah.

Patricia

We hit the jackpot with Joyce. She is a smart, reliable, self-reliant, sensitive and thoughtful pet-whisper and house caretaker. More than that she is just a really nice, witty, intelligent person that we hope to keep as a friend for life. She kept in touch with us throughout our month long trip to New Zealand, emailing pictures and descriptions of how things were going at home in Chicago. We came back to a dog who was healthier and happier than we left her. Joyce’s connection with Abbey and care for her as well as us was just extraordinary. We felt we had a friend taking care of everything at home and totally assured that Abbey was not only ok, but thriving. We arrived to an immaculate house and a refrigerator full of goodies to tide us through our first jet-lagged evening at home - she goes above and beyond. I can’t say enough about Joyce. You can totally rely on her if you are lucky enough to get her.
