Hi, I’m Bree! I’ve been with Whiskers to Tails since 2017 and am so grateful to have made countless fur friends in that time. I’m a devoted cat mom to 13-year-old Baby (also known as Boogie, featured above!) and an aspiring dog mom (someday soon!). My friends, family, and clients know me to be a dedicated “aunt” to the many animals I’m lucky enough to care for. I have experience caring for cats and dogs with special needs and I especially enjoy winning over the hearts of shy or nervous fur babies. Outside of petsitting I’m a doctoral
candidate in Communication Studies (Critical Media Studies) at the University of Minnesota, where I also work as a graduate instructor teaching courses such as Media Literacy and Organizational Communication.

Service areas include Downtown, Uptown, Northeast, South Minneapolis, Roseville, and south suburbs

Christina grew up in the Black Hills of South Dakota where animals often crossed her path, especially lost cats, whom she often snuck into her room before her brothers outed her or tried to rehabilitate and comfort injured wildlife. At a young age, she developed a passion for helping animals feel better physically, but also recognized the value of connections between people and animals in how understanding one another allows us to live peacefully together. Christina has spent years researching best practices on how to bridge the gap of human and animal psychologies to obtain desired behaviors from our pets, and enjoys teaching other pet parents how to effectively communicate with their own animal companions. Prior to joining WTTPS in 2015, Christina dabbled her paws in various animal-related fields such as veterinary technology, grooming, pet supplies sales, solo-pet sitting, and volunteering at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. When asked about why she likes working with us, Christina wrote, “I am proud to be a part of the WTTPS team. I truly enjoy caring for pets, but am especially honored to earn the trust of their parents. I like open and transparent communication and want to give of myself what I’d like from someone caring for my furbabies.” At home, Christina is owned by fish and two special needs senior rescues (a spirited tripawd Beagle/Dachshund and a sensitively sweet Border Collie/Golden Retriever). In her free-time, she can be found practicing photography, exploring nature trails, attending local car shows, and embarking on adventures with her pups!

Jennifer has always had a passion for animals. She grew up in Philadelphia with dogs and cats and had three cats most of her adult life. She has also owned white rats and was an “auntie” to a snake, an iguana and two bearded dragons. She always wanted to work with animals, but after she earned her associate degree in veterinary technology, her career path took a detour into marketing research. She was thrilled to have found her way back to her first love, animals, in 2013 and has been pet sitting for Whiskers to Tails Petsitting ever since. Her education in veterinary technology paired with her experience with her own pets with chronic medical conditions has taught her to skillfully administer all different types of medications, including transdermal creams and gels, oral and sublinqual pills and liquids, and subcutaneous insulin and fluids. She is happy to get to care for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, birds, fish and even a few reptiles in her pet sitting work with Whiskers to Tails. She especially loves gaining the trust of her animal clients and developing a relationship with them, and she can’t wait to get to know yours!

Hello! My name is Kallie and like many of the other sitters, I‘ve never been able to imagine my life without an animal in the house. Growing up, I was surrounded by labs and lab mixes, and I currently have an 11 year old chocolate lab named Lindie (pictured below). Whether it was for a neighbor’s cat or a friend‘s dog, I’ve been pet sitting since I was a young kid. I absolutely love all dogs and cats, and have a special place in my heart for big dogs! I‘m always open to trying new things, so I’m totally open to pets outside the realm of dogs and cats. I‘m currently a student at The University of St.Thomas studying music business, and when I’m not working with animals you can find me working at a concert for First Avenue or writing music and performing!

Since early childhood Kiki has valued the lives of precious beings on four paws. She has a passion for adopting previously traumatized animals and restoring their trust in humans. Friends and family members took notice and asked her to care for their dogs. Although raised around dogs, Kiki attracted many cat friends as well, which led to even more pet sitting requests. While living in Florida, she regularly looked after dogs, cats, a bird and a hamster. Since moving to Minnesota, she has pursued other opportunities to spend more time with new four-legged and furry friends. She spends a lot of her free time with her nature-loving Beagle/Lab mix named Belle.

Service areas include New Hope, Crystal, Golden Valley, St. Louis Park, Minneapolis.

Hi! I‘m Lacey. I’ve been an animal lover my whole life! I‘ve had fish, cats, a rat, and have had two full-size poodle "brothers". My most recent dog love was Vera, a perfect angel pitbull who I got 14 years with. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs, and know the needs and behaviors of bully breeds very well. I had the honor of caring for Vera in her elder years, so I‘m very familiar with the needs and special care that elder dogs need. I’ve been dogsitting for some pitbull friends lately and also am a cat aunt and cat step-parent. I’m so excited to have more dog friends and give your dogs the special attention they deserve while their human is away.

I live in Powderhorn Park, and when not petsitting, I run The Future, a store in South Minneapolis, and love spending time at the river.

Hi, my name is Leah and I love being a sitter at Whiskers to Tails! I have two shepherd mixes of my own, Josie and Stella, and have managed at a dog daycare and boarding facility for 9 years. During this time, I oversaw dog care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments as well as feeding, medicating and responding to emergency situations. I have since changed careers and work at a window restoration company but am so happy to spend time with other animals through Whiskers to Tails.

I grew up with a variety of pets including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, snakes, bearded dragon, iguana, and birds. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my dogs, boyfriend, friends and family. In the winter, snowboarding and ice skating are my favorite outdoor activities and in summer, I like to camp and hike.
I understand how important it is to put trust in someone for your pets while you are away and I hope through effective communication, I can gain that trust!

It’s hard to imagine my life without animals. More than just a professional passion, dogs and cats have been family and extended family for as long as I can remember.

I have experience with senior canines and those with challenging temperaments, including dog aggression.

Currently pet care is my full time job, so I can focus on your pets‘ individual needs. I’m an active person, so walks and play time in the park are welcome if appropriate for their ability and temperament.

I am currently available to pet sit the greater Minneapolis and Saint Paul area. I am located in White Bear Lake, MN.

Hi there! My name is Samantha (feel free to call me Sam). I started my career as a pet sitter with Whiskers to Tails because I’ve always been a huge animal lover and I figured this is the best opportunity to give my love, care and attention to animals that need it while their human(s) are away! I’ve grown up with dogs, but I’ve also cared for the cats, ferrets, hamsters, and reptiles in my family/neighborhood. I’ve worked with many ages from baby to old – with special care involvement – I’m ready to take on any pet and give them the time and attention they deserve while you’re away! My communication methods are flexible to whatever works best for you – whether that frequent or brief, I’m here to make your life as stress free as possible!

Sarah is a lover of all animals and has a special place in her heart for pets that are labelled “difficult” or “less adoptable.” She grew up with two cats, fish, and a strong-willed but loveable collie/husky/shepherd mix. She began pet-sitting during her six years of graduate school at the University of Minnesota, at which time she cared for dogs, cats, ferrets, birds, and fish. She also spent two years at a volunteer-run shelter in the Washington, DC metro area that focuses on medical and behavioral special needs cats. As a result, she has a lot of experience medicating cats and working with shy cats. She adopted two fluffy kitty boys from that shelter who have various special needs but make her smile every day. Currently, Sarah lives in Maplewood. She loves making new animal friends of all kinds and works to ensure that the pets she cares for are safe and happy- whether that means giving them space or lots of hands-on attention!

Hi, I’m Sarah. I grew up on a dairy farm and have always been drawn to animals (my favorites being cats and horses). I came to Whiskers to Tails as a customer a few years ago because I needed dependable care for my two loveable Maine Coon brothers who meant the world to me. After long and happy lives, both have now passed away and I would love to use my cat mom skills to take care of your feline family members. I would like to give you the peace of mind that I always had when Whiskers to Tails was caring for my boys.

My service area is the northwest metro including Maple Grove, Champlin, Brooklyn Park, Coon Rapids, Anoka and Blaine.
