“My young dog had a poo accident and Kim took care of him and cleaned the mess. He was obviously ill and she showed him only love. Which I love. Thank you so much.”

About: I’ve always had dogs in my home. A few kittys too. Everyone has relied on me to help with their fur babies throughout my life. I’m a stay at home mom of a 5 year old. We have 3 dogs a large yard plus. I’m up early with my kiddo and doggos we walk after breakfast about .5 miles. We play in the yard/property. We hang by the garden. We do training and baths/grooming as needed. We being me my kiddo and my doggos. My pup sleeps in a crate. We feed twice a day, have water inside and out. Walks are on a leash. My adult dog sleeps in bed with me. If your pup stays the night they will need a crate or ok on the couch. We do have space for crates and a guest room if they need personal space.

About: My background in training dogs through agility classes, working with shy and special-needs animals, fostering cats, and managing dogs of all sizes at a daycare makes me uniquely qualified. I’ve also cared for farm animals, including geese, and I’m skilled in pet grooming. My patience, reliability, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality ensure your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. I have a steady work-life balance, working Monday-Friday from 6 AM to 3 PM. Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I am available for early morning, evening, and weekend visits. On Mondays, I travel to Duluth for agility training, so I can take pet-sitting jobs in that area. I’m also willing to drive within a 100-mile radius of my home to provide care, ensuring flexibility for pet owners who need reliable and loving service. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, personality, and routine to create a stress-free and comfortable environment. I’m experienced with shy animals and work patiently to help them feel safe. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pets receive attentive care, from feeding and playtime to maintaining a clean environment, including litter box upkeep. Whether it’s keeping a routine, providing enrichment, or offering extra care for special needs pets, I always prioritize their well-being.

“Amber is the best! I'm so happy with how it's going with my pups! My chihuahua-dachshund is impossible to walk but just a couple of weeks of walking with Amber and he's walking without pulling!!”

About: Hi there! My name is Samantha and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had my rescue Yellow Lab mix, a German Shepherd mix, a Shitzu Poodle, and two cats. I adopted and trained the sweetest rescue boy in 2019. I am also an auntie to many dogs I care for when my friends and family travel. Open for walks and drop in visits in northern Minnesota! My dog lives a very active lifestle along with me! We paddle board, swim, go for runs, long walks, hike, and backpack as much as we can. I am very accustomed to getting him the exercise he needs and have the energy to help make sure your pets get the exercise and care that they need. From pet sitting for my friends and family, to fostering, to taking care of my own pet, I’ve got experience with it all! My dog is a runner. He would chase bunnies and squirrels all day long if he could, and I would if it wasn't for the real danger of traffic and living in the city. Maybe someday we will be lucky enough to own acerage :) For now, I take extreme care of his physical stimulation every day to make sure he is fully active and happy. I have come to understand dogs who run, and I take extreme precaution with dogs who are like mine. I also understand a dog’s needed routine like grooming and feeding, and can administer oral medication for you while you are away. If I ever need to board my dog, we drive an hour for boarding where he can play and run on a farm all day with other dogs, so I understand the value of your dog having access to the outdoors and lots of love.

“Julia is so great with my dog! She sent good photos and provided thoughtful feedback.”

“It is great having Samantha! She communicates well and sends photos. She is easy to work with and responds back in a timely manner. She is equally happy to help with my dog Finn. She is a great addition to my team helping with Finn.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and other animals since a young girl with family pets. In the last 2 years, I have expanded my pet care experience to rescuing and fostering dogs until ready for adoption in the greater Duluth area. This experience included learning and utilizing different training techniques to address aggression, separation anxiety, barking, chewing, inappropriate elimination, biting and jumping. I have a year old puppy at home who is the sweetest soul and loves to play with other dogs! We are all about continuous growth, kindness, and enjoying time spent together. Please let me know if you are interested in any behavior work with your pets and I would be happy to discuss how my training may best support your pet during their time with us. My passion for proper pet care is endless and I can't wait to meet your pets! Zoey can't wait to play, either! :) I'm currently working part-time with plenty of time to care for your dogs! I can be very flexible with my time and have open availability to best support your needs. I am a home body so I spend most days walking and playing with Zoey, my dog, and nights playing and relaxing with her. Safety is my first priority with any dog. I have a long lead leash to use in my unfenced yard for potty breaks and will take your pup on plenty of leashed hikes on the superior hiking trail just out of my backyard. I have wood floors, so no worries of any accidents that may happen! My puppy sleeps with me, so any overnight stays would be at your comfort level with your pet in the bed. As I do allow my pup on my couch and bed, I am very respectful to those who keep pets off and will foster that just as you would in my home. I do have a large crate for my pup that any of your pets are welcome to use during their stay for either play breaks or an overnight sleep.

About: I am available 9am-11pm most days. I work overnights from 11pm-9am during the week, but am off during the weekends. I love dogs, and even cats too! I have volunteered at shelters and have trained every dog my family has owned. I am willing to do whatever is best for each individual dog. I love getting to know the different personalities of each dog. There is no dog that is too big or too small for me. I've worked with chihuahuas all the way up to Saint Bernards. I understand that each dog has different comfort levels with strangers, and I am very patient and don't give up until a dog is best friends with me. I can't wait to meet all of your dogs?

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 dogs in my family for as long as I can remember - mutts, goldens, even a very talkative chihuahua - I loved them all! Friends call me to watch their pets often. I am comfortable with every breed of dog, and cats tend to snuggle me or judge me - I’m fine with either! I am currently working as a virtual assistant, with travel to help some clients on-site. I can easily make walks, feedings, day-care and over night stays fit into this schedule. I will take my lead from you and your pet. If it’s active and likes walks or to play, I am happy to do that. I always make sure that there is water in the bowl, and that feeding times are followed.
