“It was my first time in Duluth and Casey not only took me on last minute, I was super comfortable leaving Daisy with him! I’m so grateful for Casey being available and will use him again in the future!”

“Lori was the absolute BEST with our Dog, Yukon! It was our first time leaving him overnight with a new person and she exceeded our expectations...And completely put us (and Yukon!) at ease. He came home tired and happy and we could tell it was a great experience from the updates and pictures she sent during his stay. We will be booking with Lori again and again!”

About: I've worked with a foster care program with many puppies and older dogs. Grew up with three dogs in a dog-loving family, familiar with many breeds and needs! I just graduated from the College of Saint Scholastica. I am available after 4 on weekdays and all day on weekends! My schedule for potty breaks is very flexible! I am very attentive to dogs, and I am able to adjust to their needs (puppies, seniors, disabilities). I also don't mind doing small house-sitting chores, such as dishes and laundry.

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: 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.

About: I’ve helped taken care of cats for the majority of my life. Checking in on them, feeding them, and giving them attention. I do have my own cat that we trained as a kitten as well.

“Talia did an awesome job house and pet sitting while we were out of town for a little over a week! She was always quick to respond to my texts and came right up for a meet and greet before booking. She sent lots of cute pictures and updates on the kitties and pups while we were away. She is Baby cat's new best friend! And she was very patient with our shy kitty who is new to house sitters. Upon our return home, the house was in great condition and the pets were all well loved and cared for. We highly recommend Talia and we look forward to having her come again on our future trips!!”

About: I have owned cats my entire life. My very first pet was a Siamese cat named Emma that I got for Christmas when I was 7 years old. Since then I have owned pretty much every breed of cat throughout my lifetime. I have owned mama cats, and kittens. I have no problem cleaning litter boxes and have no allergies.

“Amber did a great job! When our cat didn’t eat breakfast and take his medicine, Amber went back in the evening to check on him! She went above and beyond. Thank you, Amber!”

Carrie J.

“Julia took wonderful care of our cat, Harvey. She was very responsive and communication was excellent throughout. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Casey was absolutely wonderful and took great care of dog. Ollie, is a puppy with a ton of energy and he had a blast playing with the other dogs. He sent us pictures and updates throughout the day. We will definitely be booking again in the future! Thanks for all you do🐾”

“We were grateful that we found Lori to watch our pup while we were at a Glensheen Mansion wedding. She is super close to the mansion which made it so convenient. This was Thor’s first time staying with someone he didn’t know but Lori kept him busy and happy.”

“Jessica is reliable, on time and communicates well! I would rebook with Jessica.”

Cole S.

“I received a cuter pic of my dog sitting so pretty than I’ve ever been able to take. Sav was punctual and had good communication throughout. I know my dog is in good hands. Will book again!!”

Jessica D.

“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: I have two cats of my own. My tuxedo lu has been around since I was super little, I’ve carried her with me everywhere i go! My fluffy boy moo was a rescue a few years ago, he’s a big sweetie. I have a dog named ollie that I share custody of with my mom. he comes with me on all of the road trips and hikes. I’ve sat for family members and people in my area since I was 15. I also have reptile experience caring for chameleons and snakes. I’m here for any pet! Taking care of animals is my passion ☺️ I do photography full time so my schedule stays pretty flexible. I’m typically available on holidays! I don’t mind to travel a little for your furry friends, so don’t worry too much if you’re far away! I love spending most of my time with my cats. No matter what I’m doing—they’re at my feet or on my lap. My cat moo comes on hikes with me! I enjoy getting fur babies out of the house into the world. I have a dog cover on the back seats in my car. I will always reach out to ask before traveling with your dog, this is not necessary, just an offer! :)

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I grew up with long haired dachshunds. I have also owned labs, a Dalmatian, huskies, you name it. I love big cuddly dogs the most, but will love up on the smallest to the biggest dog the same. I also have a big heart for senior pets. I work full-time during the week but I am always on the go and able to help with pet sitting, dog walking, helping with caring for animals as needed. I am available for house-sitting depending on the days/times. When I go to someone's home to care for their pet I will treat it as though it is my own pet, which is with the utmost care, kindness and love. I have a huge heart for all living beings including animals and humans. I am highly responsible, and responsive.

“Wonderful service. Am glad she is walking our Wilma weekly!”
