“Kaitlin did a fabulous job taking care of our 2 dogs while we were away for a week! She was diligent in her communication. I had no concerns leaving our pups in her care! I would highly recommend her and plan on calling her first the next time we are in need of care!”

Erika F.

“Thank You so much Emily! We appreciate your flexibility with our additional visit requests and look forward to see Bruce on your Facebook page! Our son is so proud of his “kitty star”!”

“We met with Grace to house sit for us. We had to cancel our trip but plan to use her in the future. She’s a very nice person and seems interested in taking the best possible care of our dogs. We had some scheduling issues online and she was very patient working that out.”

About: Flexible schedule, lots of trails in my area for your puppies to explore, trustworthy, dependable and easily contacted. I’ve had pets of my own in the past that I loved and adored, and currently have a 3 year old eskimo/chihuahua that I adopted from the local shelter who loves to play w other dogs. I work three 12 hour shifts a week, meaning those 4 days off are great opportunities for me to walk your dog(s), stop in and check on them or stay with them. I understand the value of daily exercise and mental stimulation for a dog, so I will ensure they are getting their steps in. I also understand not everyone has the time or ability to ensure their pets receive daily exercise/time outside, and with my flexible schedule I would love to give you some peace of mind that your pet is having all of their needs met.

About: I have taken care of pets for over 30 years. Our family currently has two dogs, a cat, and a rabbit. I love animals and they are part of my family. Weekends are the best for me. I would be able to do some weeknights as well. I live close to the town of Aitkin so I am close to many families. I have a large yard out in the country. I have one friendly large dog and one small house dog. I love my pets so much.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 4. I’ve had dogs, cats, and other small creatures. I do well with grooming, bathing, walks, and car rides. I’m currently doing online college. So I’m home all day! I have a fenced in yard for your fur babies. Hope to hear from you soon! I have a fenced in yard, leashes, to keep your fur baby safe. Plenty of access to walk and shade, and beds! Big or small

“Thank you so much for watching the girls!! Especially being such short notice!! You were so good with them!”

“Eric did a great job with our two labs. They are high energy dogs, but were properly worn out when I got home. Great communication, regular updates throughout the visit.”

About: Hi there! My name is Samantha and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had my rescue Yellow Lab mix, a German Shepherd mix, a Shitzu Poodle, and two cats. I adopted and trained the sweetest rescue boy in 2019. I am also an auntie to many dogs I care for when my friends and family travel. Open for walks and drop in visits in northern Minnesota! My dog lives a very active lifestle along with me! We paddle board, swim, go for runs, long walks, hike, and backpack as much as we can. I am very accustomed to getting him the exercise he needs and have the energy to help make sure your pets get the exercise and care that they need. From pet sitting for my friends and family, to fostering, to taking care of my own pet, I’ve got experience with it all! My dog is a runner. He would chase bunnies and squirrels all day long if he could, and I would if it wasn't for the real danger of traffic and living in the city. Maybe someday we will be lucky enough to own acerage :) For now, I take extreme care of his physical stimulation every day to make sure he is fully active and happy. I have come to understand dogs who run, and I take extreme precaution with dogs who are like mine. I also understand a dog’s needed routine like grooming and feeding, and can administer oral medication for you while you are away. If I ever need to board my dog, we drive an hour for boarding where he can play and run on a farm all day with other dogs, so I understand the value of your dog having access to the outdoors and lots of love.

“So happy we found Rachel to watch our cat while we were out of town. Rachel is very reliable and was willing to do a meet and greet before we left, which was important to us. We will definitely use Rachel again when the need arises!!”

About: My background in training dogs through agility classes, working with shy and special-needs animals, fostering cats, and managing dogs of all sizes at a daycare makes me uniquely qualified. I’ve also cared for farm animals, including geese, and I’m skilled in pet grooming. My patience, reliability, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality ensure your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. I have a steady work-life balance, working Monday-Friday from 6 AM to 3 PM. Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I am available for early morning, evening, and weekend visits. On Mondays, I travel to Duluth for agility training, so I can take pet-sitting jobs in that area. I’m also willing to drive within a 100-mile radius of my home to provide care, ensuring flexibility for pet owners who need reliable and loving service. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, personality, and routine to create a stress-free and comfortable environment. I’m experienced with shy animals and work patiently to help them feel safe. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pets receive attentive care, from feeding and playtime to maintaining a clean environment, including litter box upkeep. Whether it’s keeping a routine, providing enrichment, or offering extra care for special needs pets, I always prioritize their well-being.

“Thank you Kim for taking care of our babies when we couldn’t be here. It made us feel so good knowing they were being well taken care of and helped us enjoy the wedding all that more!”

About: My grandma ran Duclos Pet Boarding for many years and I helped her run her business. I have a huge love for animals and while going through nursing school, I’ve decided to join Rover for a part-time job! This will be my only job as I am a student at Central Lakes College so my availability will always be open Monday - Sunday! I have two dogs myself a golden retriever and a German Shepherd and I treat those girls as if they are my children! I will do the same to your pets and make sure they are safe and happy while being with me!!

About: I’ve always had dogs in my home. A few kittys too. Everyone has relied on me to help with their fur babies throughout my life. I’m a stay at home mom of a 5 year old. We have 3 dogs a large yard plus. I’m up early with my kiddo and doggos we walk after breakfast about .5 miles. We play in the yard/property. We hang by the garden. We do training and baths/grooming as needed. We being me my kiddo and my doggos. My pup sleeps in a crate. We feed twice a day, have water inside and out. Walks are on a leash. My adult dog sleeps in bed with me. If your pup stays the night they will need a crate or ok on the couch. We do have space for crates and a guest room if they need personal space.

“I am so thankful I found Amy to do drop in visits for my cat Frankie. She is a great communicator, knowledgeable, and kind. I know I don’t have to worry about Frankie when Amy is caring for her and that is what I look for in a pet sitter! Thanks Amy!! I highly recommend Amy and will reach out to her with future needs!”

About: My family and I love pets! We would love to have your dog stay with us and enjoy all the comforts of home! We have children who are sure to give your pet loads of extra attention. I am a (mostly) stay-at-home mom! This means your pet will have near constant companionship while in our care. They will be loved, cared for, and treated as a member of the family. We have a fenced in yard and go for a lot of walks! Your pet will be hanging out with a family, not left alone in a kennel.
