“Kimberly was so great with our dog & cat! It was such a relief having her stay with them. She kept us updated on how everything was going, definitely will book with her again!! Thanks so much Kim!”


“Liz was so great! She went above and beyond just caring for our dogs. It is such a relief to know you can trust that your pets are in good hands. Even left us cupcakes for when we returned :) Thank you Liz!!!”


About: I grew up with many pets (dogs, cats, chickens, horses, so on) and love animals dearly! I come from a family who loves animals and treats them like family too. Pets can be such a comfort to us and I enjoy getting the chance to care for them (and snuggle and play with them too!). I’m currently working a full time job Monday-Friday from 8am-4:00pm. Besides that, I’m pretty flexible! Evenings and weekends are when I’m most free but I’m willing to check in on pets before work and directly after work. When I pet sit I like to give updates each time I check on them and send pictures so that you know exactly how your critter is doing (and so you get to see their cute face!). Their wellbeing is important to me and I want you to feel reassured that they are getting the best care, so detailed instructions on how to take care of them is much appreciated. Our pets and our homes are two things that can be very dear to us. I want to provide your pet with the best care and your home with the best respect.

“Eden was very accommodating changing her schedule to watch my dog while I was out of town for 5 days. She took great care of him and also fed my cat. She sent pictures and updates while I was away. 🐶😻”


“Sydni did great with the pups! There was open communication, she took them on lots of walks and adventures, and sent us loads of pictures. Would recommend for others looking for care for their pups!”


About: I’ve been a pet owner since I was young. From fish and frogs to hamsters and dogs my love for animals has no limits. I’m a very energetic playful person, dedicated to keeping your furry friend happy. I’ve cat and dog sat for multiple neighbors around the block and each time was a great experience. I’m excited to broaden my pet horizons with you! I live in Duluth for the school year and have morning classes. i’m available for weekday walks, and all day on weekends. i can also stay at your house for overnights if that’s what you prefer! My space has a fenced in yard and a super friendly french bulldog that would love to play with your pet! As for your home, I am very flexible and am able to meet almost any of you and your pets needs. Communication is key, so just let me know how you would like things to go and I’m sure we can make it work!


“Julia was fantastic! She stayed in our home to watch our dog for a long weekend and followed all instructions well. She made sure to send pictures and an update every day which was appreciated. Would recommend her and will be rebooking her in the future.”


“Harley and Chloe got along well with Samantha. While Harley was a bit hesitant at first he ended up sleeping in bed with her. That tells me a lot! I would not hesitate to have Samantha come back to watch the dogs again.”


“Laura did a fabulous job watching our menagerie of fur babies. She updated us frequently. She’s conscious about caring for their needs and good at keeping us in the loop. We felt comfortable knowing our Gracie, Lupin, Sky, JJ, and Boo Ranger were in good hands.”


“Chrissy is AWESOME. We were concerned about leaving our dog. We have never done this before. She sent pictures and updated us throughout the day. We will definitely use her again. She was wonderful with our dog. Can't thank her enough.”


About: I have two dogs of my own and foster regularly for a local rescue. Friends and family often rely on me for pet sitting because they trust my reliability, responsibility, and genuine love for animals. I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and attentive care to every pet I meet. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I work part-time mowing lawns and driving for Uber. This gives me the flexibility to schedule visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day. I enjoy being active and outdoors, and I love incorporating pet care into my daily flow. At home, I have a nice fenced-in yard with an in-ground system that’s safe and comfortable for pets to enjoy. When I’m in your home, I always respect your pet’s routine and preferences, making sure they feel secure and cared for in their own space.

About: I have had animals a majority of my life, and have always had multiple animals in my current home, between mine, roommates and friends. I occasionally give a relatives diabetic cat her insulin shots, and my dog is on pain pills, so can administer those types of things if needed. I work full time, mostly in Superior, so moat days can stop home on a lunch break to let the animals out and check on things. However, I do work out on the ountry on Mondays and Thursdays, so don't have an option to stop home during the day on those days. But otherwise, having animals of my own I already plan around being able to feed them and of course give all the loves and potty breaks. I have a cat and a dog, so the house is already set up for animals! I do only have 1 chain set up outside but can easily set up more if needed, as well as space for crates if you use them, and pet gates to give or limit access to certain parts of the house.

“Danielle was great and took very good care of our two pups while we were away for the long weekend. Gave updates and did everything we needed. She is a very caring and loving dog sitter!”


About: There’s no cats, kids or other dogs in the home, meaning your pup (s) can have a relaxing and snuggle filled time all by themselves! I raised my Great Dane from 8 weeks-10 years old and she recently passed away. She was a reactive dog that didn’t like people, cats, kids or other dogs. I’m well versed and comfortable with shy, reactive or nervous dogs and puppies. I’m a social worker during the day, CNA a few hours a week and rarely have plans outside of that especially in fall/winter. I’m a home body whenever humanly possible. I am flexible with notice! Definitely ask if I can make a schedule work if it’s similar to my availability. I have a ground level apartment, a large couch for snuggling, a good size backyard with a tie out that is fenced on 2 sides with the opening facing an alleyway and only a walkway on the otherside.

About: Caring for dogs and cats has been a lifelong passion of mine. In recent years, I’ve fostered dogs for a local rescue and welcomed two rescue pups and a kitten into my home. They are cherished members of my family, and I truly understand the dedication it takes to provide excellent care for animals. As a nurturing, patient, and trustworthy stay-at-home mom, I have the time and love to give. I can’t wait to meet your beloved pet! *please note, there will be a $1 charge for each mile past a 15 mile radius (negotiable) I am currently a stay at home mom and have a flexible schedule. I’m available to drop in for feedings, potty breaks, and walks during the week and weekend. For boarding in your home, I’m available on weekends. As for boarding in my open, I have no restrictions. Keeping your pet safe is my biggest concern! I will be sure to follow whatever protocol you as a pet owner has in place for doing so.

About: Living on a farm, I have a lot of experience interacting with animals of all kinds. Running a farm of any size is not a one person job so my family is a big part of my life. I can’t imagine a better place to live doing something I love. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Whether it is feeding and watering our chickens and cows or grooming our dogs, I work hard to ensure our animals are cared for. I am a stay at home mom so your four legged friends will rarely be left alone. I work hard to follow any instructions owners may give me. Additionally, I make sure all animals in our care have access to food, water, and love. I also like to take a few pictures of what we are up to send them to people so they know their pet is getting loved and cared for.

“Rachel is great! She has looked after my cat Gus twice while I was out of town for overnight trips. In addition to feeding him, she took time to play with him and keep him company which I really appreciated. It’s hard not to worry when you leave your pet, but I didn’t really didn’t need to with Rachel. She was dependable, timely, and sent check-in texts with photos so I could rest easier. I feel at ease knowing Gus is in good hands when Rachel watches him and I know he appreciates the company too.”
