“Excellent first time experience. Very caring and loving. Sent lots of pictures. Went above and beyond to make sure our doggy was well taken care of. He was tired after all the play time and slept like a log 😄 will definitely board again. Highly recommended!”

“Kate watched our two dogs for a week while we went on vacation and I’ve never been happier with a dog sitter! Both of my girls got a bath, got to run around with her dog Stella, and got lots of snuggles! I knew they were well taken care of during their stay & we can’t wait to drop them off again so they can see their friend Stella again!”

“Emily was wonderful throughout the whole experience. She invited us to her home to see how my dog would be before booking the stay. Throughout my dog's stay she sent pictures and updates on how he was doing. She was also very understanding of my flight issues I had and was very flexible. I'd recommend her to everyone.”

“Lori went above and beyond to make our dog and two cats feel comfortable. Everything went smoothly (communication was easy!), her home is extremely pet-friendly, and she even prepared a special holiday treat for our animals. We’d highly recommend Lori and definitely plan to leave our pets with her again.”

About: With almost 7 years of professional experience, you can trust that your pets are in good hands! I grew up on and around farms, so I have experience with pets ranging from dogs and cats, to goats and chickens, to lizards and guinea pigs and more. Now, I have my own little zoo at home, which includes a dog, a cat, two guinea pigs, turtles, and fish. I started my professional experience at the age of 16, when I started working at a doggy daycare. Once I moved to the Duluth area, I continued caring for pets through Rover and similar sites. In the last few months, I have started my own business petsitting and dog walking. In addition, I have done volunteer work through animal shelters and worked closely with dog trainers to expand my knowledge and experience with pets of all kinds. I currently work full time Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm, as well as 9am-3pm Saturdays and 5pm-9pm Friday and Saturday nights. In order to make sure that my pets are getting all the love and attention they need, I will no longer be able to do overnight visits on weekdays. I am more than happy to stay over on weekends and do drop-in visits during the week, though! I love spoiling my pets, and would love to do so with yours as well. I have a lot of experience with complex feeding and medication instructions. I am also very active, so I can exercise your pup in a safe one-on-one environment, bring them to the dog park, provide mental stimulation with puzzles, or cuddle with them if they're a little older- whichever is preferred by you and your pupper.

About: I grew up with cats and was drawn to dogs wherever possible! Even now I can’t help but stop and pet all the puppies!! As an adult I have had the opportunity to welcome 4 dogs and 4 cats into our home through the years. I have no problem administering medication or cleaning up messes. I have an alternating schedule and have seven days off in a row every other week. I would generally only plan care on the times that I have off unless your animal is one that can be left in the house 12 hours a day when I do have to work. I would like to get out walking more and the added motivation of a doggo would be great! I have a fenced in yard and a dog that loves doing zoomies all day long but also chilling in the sunshine. Pets are treated with love and care.

About: I'm Ashley. 29 years old. I have 7-8 years of experience sitting dogs. I give them my full attention at all times. I will play with them, and walk them. I will make sure they are fed, and hydrated! I'm a big animal lover! Most dogs that I've sat in the past loved me, and my attention I gave them. They will always leave happy :) I will sometimes spoil them if they're good. I'll go to the store, and pick up some toys or treats. My kids get along very well with animals. They will always play with them as well. My kids have never got injured by any dog or cat. I'm hoping you'll choose me to sit your animal!:)) I'm a stay at home so I have all day to care, and play with them! If my kids don't need me first then they have my full attention. I make sure to get them comfortable first. I fill up their dish bowls right away. They'll either come to me to sit or if they're a smaller dog I'll pick up, and sit with. They always show they are content by licking my hand, and following me around.

About: Hi there! My name is Savannah (or Sav for short!) and I’ve worked in pet care for 6 years in Minneapolis before moving to Duluth, resulting in completing hundreds of walks and dozens of sittings- and I love what I do! I also am the dog mom of a spunky 11 year old German Shepard mix. I understand the need for detailed and compassionate care, especially in the winter and summer when extra resources like dog boots or extra water may be needed. The pets I’ve had in my care lately range from pit bulls and labs to pugs and even older dogs. I am excited to meet your dog! I spend all day, everyday walking dogs of all ages and breeds. Pet care is my full time job and I love what I do! Many dogs feel most comfortable in their own home so I am happy to provide sittings in your home to care for your pet the way you would! I have experience training and specific requests, like administering medications. I always will treat your pet with the utmost care and respect!

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 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.

“Sophie was great! I would book again in a heart beat.”

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is the genuine bond I create with each dog, treating them as if they were my own. I prioritize not just their basic needs, but also their emotional well-being by giving them personalized attention, plenty of affection, and engaging activities tailored to their personality. I focus on maintaining a calm, safe environment that feels like home, ensuring that both pets and their owners feel at ease. My reliability and commitment to clear communication with pet parents also help build trust and peace of mind. Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine is seamless due to my structured schedule. After my nannying hours from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, I have plenty of time in the evenings and weekends to provide dedicated care for pets. I’m available for longer visits or overnight stays on weekends. Routine Maintenance: I adhere to the pet’s regular schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to maintain consistency. Comfort and Safety: I ensure the environment is safe and comfortable, keeping familiar items nearby to reduce stress for the pet. Personalized Attention: I spend quality time with pets, engaging them in their favorite activities and providing companionship. Health Monitoring: I keep an eye on their health and behavior, promptly addressing any concerns and communicating with the owner as needed. House Care: I respect the client’s home by maintaining cleanliness, taking care of any pet-related messes, and following any house rules. Communication: I keep clients updated with regular messages or photos, so they can feel connected and reassured while they’re away. This comprehensive approach ensures that pets feel loved and cared for while their owners are not home.
