“Sabrina was terrific watching our pooch over the holiday break! She was punctual and consistent sending updates and pictures and it gave us piece of mind that our dog was being cared for while we were away. We returned to a happy pooch and a handwritten note which was a nice personal touch. Will book again!”
“Kate took wonderful care of our cat while we were away visiting family for 8 days! We missed our girl dearly and really appreciated not only the photos but the care and time Kate took to care for her and play with her - our cat is usually very anxious around new people/sitters but took right to Kate!”
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: In my 41 years of life I’ve never not had a pet living in my home. I was raised with our dogs being just another member of the family and treated like so. My experience ranges from fresh new puppies to senior doggos who need a little extra love. I work from home and I am able to offer side moments throughout the day of play, potty breaks and snuggles. In the evening my two sons usually have a practice or game but we are rarely too far from home (as we have our own pets) so there is always time for potty breaks and play time when your doggo is visiting. I have a small non fenced in backyard which fetch is possible, and a lovely neighborhood for walks. In our home there is one energetic 3 year old Irishdoodle to play with and one elderly cat who keeps to herself upstairs. My home also consists of my two sons (12 and 7) who also enjoy pets and caring for them as much as I do.
“Absolutely amazing and professional! Very trustworthy…Smokey was well taken care during our stay out of country. Liz kept us updated and spent good quality time with him. She was able to accommodate his ‘unique’ lifestyle habits and he was able to spend his enormous amount of energy…we can’t thank you enough!”
“Julia is amazing. We (myself, Finn, Honey & Olive) just love her. She has been helping with my dog Finn for quite some time now. She is reliable, kind and conscience. Would highly recommend her with your pet and home.”
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: Spending time and interacting with animals has always been a passion of mine. Over the years I helped my grandma run her dog sitting service, taking the dogs for walks and cleaning up the kennels. I also enjoy being outside and taking my own dog for long walks and fun trips to the dog park. My dog is a family member and I intend on treating yours the same way. Your dog will have a great time exploring the city and playing with others at the dog park. I hope to someday have my own place where I can board dogs just like grandma did. I spend 90% of my time with dogs and we enjoy playing with other pups at the dog parks, we are traveling nomads and look forward to meeting you My dogs live in my van with me Both are crate trained. I feed my dogs twice a day. They enjoy laying around the house being lazy. Going to the dog park to play with others is always fun too!!! We also enjoy walking
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 is fantastic! She is very dependable and gives detailed reports of how my fur baby is doing. I don’t have to worry about anything. It eases my mind knowing Danielle is taking good care of her!”
About: My goal is to make your time away from your family member as stress free as possible for both of you. I honestly didn't create this account solely for a few extra dollars, although that's a nice bonus. I just love having extra dogs around, and my dog appreciates the company too. Socialization is (should be) a life long process after all. I have a fully fenced yard for potty breaks and we get out for walks daily. A little about me...I'm 37 and I've been in Duluth for 19 years. I moved here to attend college, and loved it so much I never left after graduating. I work from home full time for UnitedHealth Group, which my dog, Copper, is a huge fan of. I adopted him in April of 2023 and I'm looking forward to showing him a lifetime of adventures. I'm well versed in the areas of dog training and behavior, as well how dogs communicate with us and with one another. A little about my pets... Miss Nala, who's pictured in some of my photos, passed in February of 2023 after almost 14 years of being the best bud I could've asked for. I absolutely think Pitties are the best dogs out there, but decided on a breed that would be a little more hardy for our MN weather this time around and that's how Copper came into my life. I'd be happy (perfer) to set up a meet & greet before hand for everyones peace of mind. Just like people, two friendly dogs may not always get along. Of course, there's no fee for this! See my calendar for availability. Please note, although I work from home, weekday availability begins at 3pm unless the pet is okay being crated or trusted unsupervised during my work hours (to be let out for playtime/potty breaks while I am on break). Your pup will be treated like family and will have my undivided attention while in my care. Lots of space for playtime in my fenced backyard and plenty of comfy furniture inside to relax on. :)

She is knowledgable, talented with dogs and looks for interesting outdoor activities for them all do to. She understands the house rules and I can be sure their training won't be undone. In fact, some times they learn new things while she's with them.”
