“This was Phillip and Clark’s second time with Nathan and Laura, and they seemed excited as soon as we got there. We got pictures throughout the day, and the boys seemed happy and tired when we picked them up. Another great stay!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities for over 15 years, starting with family and neighbors and continuing through friends and repeat clients. I also volunteer walking dogs at the Humane Society in Superior, where I regularly work with nervous, high-energy, or more challenging dogs. I take a calm, patient approach and adjust to each dog’s needs, earning trust is always my goal. If a dog is difficult, I see it as an opportunity to connect. I truly love dogs, and I already love yours. I have a flexible schedule and work from home most days, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. With about three days’ notice, I can adjust my schedule to accommodate pet care needs. On days I’m in the office or traveling for personal reasons, I communicate clearly in advance to ensure expectations are set and care is consistent. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I have two friendly dogs of my own, and I’m mindful about introductions and routines. If a pet needs a quieter or separate environment, I have family nearby who can care for my dogs as needed. I have a partially fenced yard and use leashes and close supervision for outdoor time. I follow care instructions closely and focus on providing a calm, structured, and safe environment.

“Rachel and her family are awesome! Great communication, (I recieved lots of pictures of her day) My puppy warmed up to them and the other dogs so quickly! She came home happy and ready for a good nights sleep! Definitely recommended and will be my choice for next time!”

About: I'm looking forward to providing quality loving care for YOUR beloved canine! I am a small animal Certified Veterinary Technician with over 15 years of clinical experience. I have expanded my services to include dog sitting due to an increased demand for compassionate caregivers with medical knowledge. Many people are reluctant to leave their dogs at boarding kennels while traveling, particularly senior dogs and those with medical problems. Many dogs also experience high levels of stress while boarding. I provide an alternative to the traditional kennel experience by providing care out of my own home. Dogs that stay as guests in my home are provided with lots of individual attention. They are not locked in kennels, instead having free access to my home and yard. As an experienced Veterinary Technician I am also capable of caring for dogs with a broad range of medical issues, including Diabetes, Cushing's, Addison's, Epilepsy, Cancer, animals recovering from recent surgery, and more. Should your pet require emergency medical care, I am trained in animal CPR and live 5 minutes away from the clinic at which I practice. I care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. There are however, a few prerequisites to ensure that your dog will have a safe, happy stay in my care. Firstly, I an unable to care for dogs that have a history of aggression toward other dogs, or toward human adults or children. No exceptions. Secondly, dogs in my care must be current on Rabies and Distemper vaccinations. I also require proof of a negative fecal sample performed within 1 year prior to their stay if regular dewormings are done (i.e. year-round HeartGard). Dogs that are not regularly dewormed must have a fecal check done within 1 month prior to their stay, or perform a deworming treatment within 1 month prior. Puppies must be fully house trained. Rachel B. Certified Veterinary Technician I treat pets like family! Dogs who stay in my home are given lots of playtime and attention. I try to keep routines similar to what they are used to at their own home. Dogs are fed separately for safety but otherwise have free range of the home. I am an experienced animal nurse and well equipped to handle an emergency if one should arise!

“After just moving to Duluth and not knowing anyone, Rover was my only option. I was anxious to leave my buddy with someone I didn't know. Within minutes, Peter sent me a video of Cupcake having the time of his life followed by so many photos to keep my mind at ease. Playtime with another puppy, snuggles inside, and a couple of walks kept him so happy. I will definitely be looking into using this service again and Peter will be a top choice!”

Rachel B.

“Amber has been so good for Finny. She doesn't just let him hang out all day but takes him places and works on his training to make him a better behaved dog.”

Sheila W.

“My dog had a fantastic time at Jamie's! He got to play with lots of toys, go for walks, and lounge around with new human buds. He went back a second day and was excited to see everybody, which is always a great sign! Jamie & her husband have a knack for dogs and are clearly comfortable with their quirks. I absolutely recommend them for all your dog care needs!!”

Amanda T.

“Patty is the absolute best. Our boy is reactive, and when we had family visit, we needed a place for him to stay during the day to avoid the stress of having strangers (to him) in the house. Oh my goodness I cannot say enough good things about his stay! She was so flexible with timing, which was great since our dinners and activities were very variable. She gave us lots of pictures, followed his lead on if/when he wanted to meet new dogs, and he was so excited to see her every day! She was responsive, kind, and the big yard to run around in was so so good for him. Patty is very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs, and asked all the questions that made me feel like she was going to handle our dog well. She gives full answers to any questions you may have, as well. We will for sure be using her again!”

Holly G.

“Heather and her family did such an amazing job with Edie. They helped her ease into a new environment and gave her lots of love and affection. Heather sent many updates during the day and in all the pictures Edie looked happy and content. When Edie got home she was exhausted from a day of fun. I would recommend Heather to anyone looking for care for their pup!”

Alexa J.

“It's a huge relief to leave your dog with someone you can trust. Great updates, and seeing your dog happy in the pictures is always a bonus. Thank you Marie!”

Nick H.

“Nicole is great to work with. She is very good with my dog. She takes him to dog parks and on walks and when he comes home, he is tired! She is knowledgeable and has shared some tips with me which I really appreciate. She communicates with me during the day and sends lots of pictures. I am very grateful to have found her!”

Sharon S.

“Lisa was highly communicative and helped my dogs have a great stay with her in Superior. I even got cute pictures of them during their visit ? Would definitely book again.”

Haley H.

“Casey was absolutely wonderful and took great care of dog. Ollie, is a puppy with a ton of energy and he had a blast playing with the other dogs. He sent us pictures and updates throughout the day. We will definitely be booking again in the future! Thanks for all you do🐾”

Julia M.

“Courtnie is absolutely fantastic! My little guy is usually a bit skittish when going to a new home for day care but he warmed up extremely well with Courtnie and her dogs! She is super accommodating and incredible when it comes to the care of dogs, very highly recommended her! Thank you so much!! ?”

About: Care experience with all ages of dogs with emotional and some medical needs. Experience with potty training, aggression, and separation anxiety. Gentle care is always provided. My husband and I have lived our whole lives surrounded by pets and animals so we have experience and lots of love to give! I currently work a few very long shifts a week instead of daily leaving my home so I will only accept pets the days I am at home and available to give pets the attention they deserve. We have a large yard that is unfenced. We have one pup ourselves and two kitties. Our typical routine for our pet is to spend lots of time outdoors and on walks, to allow free feeding and sleeping in our bedroom on a pet bed on the floor at night, and crate training for when we are away from home. We can accommodate adjustments to this routine for your pet when they are at our home to accommodate feeding and kenneling schedules.
