Dog Sitting Duluth

About: Many pets do well with a set schedule and I am someone who thrives on routine. My ability to stick to a schedule while maintaining fun engagement creates quality care. Im currently working part time and a part time college student. I always have monday and wednesdays off and every other weekend. Other days/nights I likely will be available to sit. Send me a message and we can discuss more! In my home every morning I clean my cats litter box, apply his medication, clean his water bowl and give him his wet and dry food. My cat is leash trained so we go on walks outside frequently. If there is any mess from my pets or clients pets I promptly clean it up as I think a clean environment promotes a happy animal.

About: I’ve watched dogs, cats and birds before! No matter the animal I’d love to take care of them so you’re able to enjoy your time away! I’m a recent graduate from CSS, working a full-time job. With that, I may not be able to take requests for dogs that need frequent bathroom breaks. I will always do my best to make time for people and animals who need it! In my spare time I love to crochet, which is easily transportable! I will stick to any instructions I am given! I love to take pictures of pets and I’ll be sure to update you about how your pets day has been going!

“Nelle has consistently been a good friend and a reliable care taker for our temperamental and shy fur babies. She took the time to learn their personalities and gain their trust, and has gone above and beyond each visit. Nelle is the best and we love her!”

“She was very communicative and flexible while checking in on my cat. She sent very nice updates and pictures for me, which was very much appreciated. I will definitely look to have her check on my cat again in the future!”

About: I have 30 years of experience caring for animals and have fostered, cared for, and adopted dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from rambunctious puppies and shy, skittish rescues to sweet seniors. My rescue experience has taught me that every pet is different, and I’m comfortable adjusting my approach to help them feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience caring for cats and kittens and understand that they often prefer attention on their own terms. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to follow their lead and routine. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, so I’ll do my best to keep meals, walks, medications, potty breaks, and visits on their normal schedule. My flexibility also allows me to give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, treats, household rules, and routines. Years of fostering and working with rescue dogs have made me especially mindful of shy or fearful pets, door-dashers, escape risks, and animals who need extra patience when meeting someone new. I never force interaction and allow pets the time and space they need to become comfortable with me. I’m also happy to send photos and updates during each visit so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and being well cared for.

About: Hi! My name is Mara, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and your home while you’re away. I have grown up with multiple dogs and have always loved being around animals. Over the years, I have also provided dog sitting and house sitting for neighbors and family members, caring for pets in their own homes, following their routines, and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I will take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience providing more specialized care, including administering IV medication for an elderly animal I was watching. This experience taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, attention to detail, and following care instructions carefully. My background working in childcare, summer camps, and other safety-focused roles has helped me become dependable, organized, and attentive. I will treat your pets like they are my own and your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I am happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently a full-time online student, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I am happy to work with your pet’s routine to provide consistent and reliable care. I care for pets by keeping their routines consistent and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow all care instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and I treat each pet and home with the same respect I would want for my own. I am happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for.

About: I have taken care of my family dogs and cats since I was young. I got my own dog at 17, raising him as a new puppy. I also cared for my lab as he was getting ready to pass. I love all dogs, big or small. I have 2 cats with my boyfriend and love laser games and playing with cat toys. I am a former college athlete and love being active, especially with animals. I am going to be starting medical school at the University of Minnesota this fall. I love long walks and playing with animals. I have a flexible schedule to stop in and care for your sweet pets. I have grown up with small, medium, and large dogs and have learned how to handle and walk all of the appropriately. I have 2 cats now, that love playing with lasers and are easy to handle. I have handled cats when they are uncomfortable and know how to avoid injury and clear the cat from a stressful situation. I will do everything to protect your pets and provide them with quality care.

About: Hi there! My name is Olivia but I go by Liv for short. For the past 5 years I have taken care of and housesat animals including cats, puppies, mature dogs and senior dogs. In addition to this, I am also a runner. I am able to take your high energy pups on runs if that’s something you’re interested in! I have two cats myself and they are the best. I wouldn’t say I’m either a cat or dog person because of how much love I hold for the both of them. I grew up with two big friendly dogs, they were the best. I’d love the opportunity to meet new furry friends and their owners along the way! I’m currently a full time student at Lake Superior College and I live around East End Duluth. Taking care of pets falls into my daily routine! Between my lovely kitties and friends pets. I am respectful of one’s home. Taking care of your pet is my priority and nothing else. If roles were swapped I would want a pet caretaker/sitter to be respectful and communicative. So, that is an atmosphere I’m looking to provide to clients.

“I am so grateful she was able to take my appointment last minute! Chief seemed incredibly happy and well taken care of when I got home. Highly recommend!”

About: I have over 7 years experience supervising at dog daycares and boarding facilities in Orlando, the Twin Cities and Duluth. I was also an Animal Care Officer for the city of Minneapolis where I took care of pets of all kinds. I would love to spend time with your dog(s)! I work from home so I have lots of time to take care of and spend time with your pup(s). We enjoy spending time outdoors with our dog and going on daily walks. We have a fenced yard along with two friendly dogs, a 2 year old Golden Retriever and a Heinz 57, 25lb bundle of joy. We also have a family cat who isn’t bothered by dogs. Our dog is crate trained for nights but can be either free or crated when we are away, depending on your preference.

“Kate is wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and a pet sitter. I have always relied on friends or a family member to check on our cats. Kate was very responsive throughout the whole process and made me feel at ease. She sent comprehensive updates on her visits and pics. I highly recommend her and will absolutely book again when we need a sitter!”

“Thank you Laura she probably won't need to go out since she poop and pee on the floor.with the air off she should be fine. Sounds like I'll be home in the morning”

About: I have never lived without having both a dog and a cat in my house. Current residents include 2 dogs and 2 cats, but my family has fostered cats/kittens for about 8 years and dogs/puppies for about 5. I have taken care of neighbor's pets for both drop-in visits and extended care periods. I am currently in Graduate School and missing my animals so I would love to come visit yours!! I'm currently taking classes for my Graduate program on weekdays and I would love to use pet care as a break from homework in the evenings or weekends! I have experience with animals with many different personalities, and I have developed the skill to adjust my approach to each pet to match what they need from a caretaker. Trust between me, you as the owner, and your pet is incredibly important to me, so I am happy to learn how to best support each dog or cat's safety and happiness!

About: While I have not been a professional dog sitter I have always been the one to offer to walk or watch my coworkers, family, and friends dogs.I absolutely love being around them, and can't wait to meet yours. In the past I have used Rover to find a sitter for my dogs when I am travelling with them. Having a safe place for them to be when I go tour around a new city is such a nice option to have. Sometimes this is a few hours other times an overnight. Hoping to be able to provide this for others. I have 3 dogs of my own, one shelter rescue and 2 foster fails. Luna, Ole, and Birdie have been great foster siblings to foster dogs I have cared for also. I have a fenced yard with enough room to play. I also have a few spare bedrooms so will have the ability to separate dogs if that is needed however I prefer to dogsit those that are dog friendly due to already having a few in the home.

About: I've grown up with dogs ever since I can remember, though I only lived with one in my teens! I helped care for him through the last of his late years up until he passed, so I also have experience with caring for seniors and those with mobility issues. I've also had experience caring for multiple cats at a time for 4 years. If they're furry, I'll most definitely want to pet them! I currently work full time at a cafe with flexible hours, so if you are in need of an extra early or extra late drop-in, I'll be able to help out there! I can also do mid-day check-ins as well. As long as I get a good amount of time as a head's up, I'll be able to drop in at any time! I am super respectful of others' rules when it comes to their pet care. I am coming into their space, after all. Making sure I leave the home tidy after a play session is important as well!

About: I specialize in large dog breeds as I have 1 Pyrenees and 1 golden retriever myself. They are both very well trained and certified ESA’s. I don’t have any special skills such as pet training, just really good with dogs. I am a full time nurse and I’m off every other week. I would love to take/walk dogs on my weeks off. I have always had a dog in my family. I’d love to hang out with your furry friends! I have two big loving dogs to keep yours company. We will spend a lot of time outside hiking and going for walks! If your pet is not staying at my house we will still have fun going for runs, walks, or being outside.

“Taylor is amazing! She was incredibly professional and communicative, giving timely updates and regularly sending pictures of our very happy cats. She went above and beyond to accommodate us during a storm-extended vacation and we couldn't have been happier with the care she provided. Part of me doesn't want to give this rave review because I don't want other people to have her booked during our future vacations, but alas, she really deserves it! 10/10, would book Taylor again.”

Johannes D.

“5 stars! Feels weird to rate a person on a star system, but….. I absolutely would recommend Annika. Very communicative, thorough and timely. Came home to a happy well cared for pet. 100 percent will book again next time I’m away.”
