“Peter was wonderful in taking care of our Edith, many pictures and videos. He actually cares about the animals he takes care of and the people of the animals too.”


“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!”


“Kimberly always knocks it out of the park when taking care of my kitties. She takes the time to play and hang out with Smokey and Sherman and they absolutely love her visiting. Smokey is naturally shy and it still amazes me that he comes around for her! She's got a great, caring spirit and is always my go-to caregiver whenever I head out of town. Absolutely wonderful!”


“Thank you for spending time with our cats! We really appreciate the picture and text updates! We know they were in good hands! Thank you again for all of your love and care!!! (And cat belly rubs!)”


“Stef is always very helpful when we need someone to watch our pets! She is easy to communicate with and fast to respond. She always sends us videos or pictures during her visits. We've booked with her multiple times! She's even gone above and beyond doing other things while she's here for her visits (grab mail etc) Thank you Stef!”


“Kate is the best! Makes us feel good she takes such good care of our rabbit!! The pictures and fun updates mean everything! Also went over and above and put our packages inside for us. Thanks Kate 💕”


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.

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.

“Thank you soooooo much, Liz, for sitting with Patches. Not once did I have to worry about Patches!! Thank you for being able to add more time to your schedule without hesitation. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!”


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.


“I am so pleased with the care Julia provided for my dog! She's very accommodating, knowledgable, friendly and I returned home to a full water dish :), and overall happy boy! Amazing services. Thank you so much,Julia. We'll be calling you for your services in the future for sure. I highly recommend.”



“Alexandra has done an amazing jobs in taking care of my 2 cats when I was gone for vacation. She was so patient following all my instructions. She helped me move my two cats to their new place. I’m very grateful to her and highly recommend booking her. I will definitely book again. Thanks so much Alexandra.”


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

“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!”


“Jessie did a fantastic job caring for our two cats while we were away for 12 days. She did everything we asked for and more. She gave them their needed medication and food supplements and lovingly played with them each day like they were her own pets. All the extra bowls for their wet food were washed and both pooper boxes were well maintained when we returned. She shared tons of fun pics and videos and heart-warming messages about their well-being, which gave us peace of mind. We are so grateful we chose Jessie and definitely hope she is available next time we go on a big trip.”


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. :)
