“Nicole was awesome! Super good with communication and keeping us updated on how our pup was doing. Also Nicole was super flexible and very kind when our plans got shifted due to a flight cancellation. I highly recommend you book Nicole for all your pet sitting needs. We’re so happy that we knew our dog was in good hands and Nicole made sure we never had to worry about anything with our pup through our whole vacation.”
“I was happy to leave my dogs with Patty. She has a very nice, large fenced yard, has a great demeanor and a is obviously a dog lover. My dogs weren't sad to see me go, lol. I'll definitely be bringing them back to "visit" Patty. I'm sure the dogs will love staying there again.”
“Shiloh and her family took such great care of Pico and Maggie so we could enjoy the weekend with extended family and friends as we celebrated graduation. Thanks for the kind and excellent care.”
“Casey was a godsend for watching Harper. She has been a bit shy with other dogs, especially those larger than her. She came home tired and happy so we know it had to have gone well. Harper LOVES kids and snuggles and really bonded with Casey’s son. The pictures, videos and updates were greatly appreciated. We feel we have finally found the ideal sitter for our sweetheart Harper for future stays.”
“I had the absolute pleasure of having Heather take care of my dog, Opal, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Heather went above and beyond to make sure Opal felt comfortable and loved. She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind and showed how well Opal was being cared for. Not only did she take Opal on multiple walks, but she also gave her a bath, leaving her looking and feeling fresh. The love and attention Opal received were beyond what I could have hoped for, and I will definitely be using Heather again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Jamie took wonderful care of Opie while we were away. She was flexible and understanding of our travel schedule. She made sure Opie got plenty of exercise. He came home a happy, tired pup!”

“Stacie did an amazing job looking after my Kadie! She sent pictures and updates every day, and Kadie came home tired and happy! Anyone looking for a good, kind pet-sitter is in the right place!”
“Christina is phenomenal. She kept us up to date with how Ziibi was doing, and wasn't afraid to check in and ask if some of Ziibi's more...interesting behaviors were typical. We felt like our dog got a really personalized experience.”
“Kate watched our dog for 5 days and did awesome! Fenced in yard helped me feel reassured. Our dog also had the opportunity to socialize with other dogs (and a cat) during the stay which he needed. Loved all the pictures throughout the stay! Thanks Kate!”
“Kelli and Shane took such great care of my two labs! The pups absolutely loved their huge fenced in yard and were so tired out when I picked them up. I got a video every day I was gone and a couple pictures. Kelli and Shane were very good at responding quickly and very flexible with drop off and pick up! I highly recommend!”

“Emily took wonderful care of our Stella while we were at an out state wedding. We were able to enjoy ourselves knowing Stella was well taken care. Emily did a great job of sending pictures thoroughout the weekend of Stella's happenings. I would highly recommend Emily. Her passion for animals, approachable personality, and flexibility made the experience a wonderful success!”
“Lori was amazing!! We had a last minute booking for our 3 dogs and couldn’t be happier. Two trips to the dog park and a walk all within their 24 hour stay. Made the drive home easy with 3 tired pups. Will definitely be using Lori for our future trips to Duluth!!”

“Brianna went over the top caring for my shy kitty. She enticed him with tuna treats — his favorite— which finally drew him out of hiding to greet her on her last visit. I loved and appreciated her updates.”
“Ava was great with my cat Yoda! I was gone for three weeks and she sent me pictures and detailed updates throughout the process. He had an incident that Ava immediately addressed with me to create a problem solving strategy which I greatly appreciated. She was quick to reply and helped me know he was well taken care of.”
“Nicole was great! Communicative, shared lots of pictures from the check in, and even went the extra mile to keep an eye on and water started plants for our garden. We will definitely book again!”
“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!”
“Jayden is a treasure! I agonize over leaving my sweet Kitty alone when I go on vacation, but Jayden helped ease the anxiety allowing me to enjoy my vacation. From early contact , she was quick to respond and always thoughtful. She came over before we left. I could tell right away that she is level-headed and has common sense, which told me she would be able to handle any issues if they arose. She also obviously loves cats. She was patient and persistent with our scaredy cat, finally winning her over. She followed all of our care instructions to a T. I 100% trust Jayden to care for our cat in future.”
“Anna was great. My cats seemed to be very comfortable with her. Even my scardey cat Luna. It was nice to know they had company and were being fed. I would definitely hire Anna again. The house was clean when we got home and the cats were happy to see us. Anna spoiled them perfectly! Thanks Anna!”
“Talia is WONDERFUL! She always notifies me when she’s arriving and leaving, shares lots of photos, and it’s very evident my kitten adores her. We are so grateful to have her as a pet sitter!!”
About: Hi! My name is Abigail, and I’m 24 years old. I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always felt like second nature to me. I have experience working with a wide range of pets, including dogs of all energy levels—from high-energy breeds that need structure and engagement to calm, easygoing companions like golden retrievers—as well as cats with a variety of personalities. I’m comfortable adapting my care to meet each animal’s unique needs. I currently offer in-home pet sitting, providing attentive care in your pet’s familiar environment so they can remain comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I also provide basic training support and walking assistance, especially for owners who may need extra help keeping their pets active and well cared for. I’m open to caring for other animals as well, such as birds or reptiles, as long as clear instructions are provided to ensure their routines and needs are met properly. With availability during the second half of my week, I’m excited to grow my pet-sitting business long term. My goal is to earn trust, build strong relationships with both pets and owners, and eventually turn my passion for animal care into a full-time career. Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I look forward to connecting with interested pet owners and would be happy to answer any questions. Wishing you a wonderful day! I currently work the first half of the week but am available after 4 PM on Wednesdays and anytime from Thursday through Saturday. With this flexibility, I’m able to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets during my off days. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions provided by the owner. I keep a clean, pet-safe space, supervise pets at all times, and never introduce new animals without permission. In a client’s home, I respect their space and ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure. I pay close attention to pets’ body language and behavior to keep them comfortable and stress free. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners can feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
“Peter and Barbara were wonderful with our girls! We truly appreciate them taking such great care of them especially over the holidays. We will definitely be reaching out to them in the future!”
“Courtnie did a great job taking care of our 2 cats! She was timely in her drop in visits and provided pictures and a thorough overview in the report cards. We would gladly have her watch our cats again!”
“Wing is a wonderful cat sitter. She always responds to our crazy-person, last-minute requests with flexibility and grace. She also sends great picture compilations for every drop-in that help alleviate how much we miss our kitties. Thanks again, Wing!”
About: I have taken care of all types of cats the past year and a half as an Animal Care Attendant! I am versed in dealing with cats with a little extra spice. As well as giving oral medications. Litter box and accident clean ups will always be taken care of!
About: My parents have owned and cared for cats since I was a child, and 1.5 years ago, I adopted a rescue cat of my own! I have worked as a cat caretaker for two years at Wired Whisker, Duluth’s cat cafe, where I care for up to 18 cats at a time: administering basic medication, feeding, scooping litterboxes, and helping them grow more social around other cats and humans.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and currently have two dogs and a cat of my own. I’ve also pet sat for family and friends, caring for dogs and cats with different needs and routines. I treat every pet like family and always provide safe, loving, and reliable care. I am currently working part-time, so I have availability a couple days of the week to play with your pets! I love all types of animals and Rover is a great opportunity to embrace that love. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping owners updated with photos and messages.

“I felt so at ease leaving Gus with Laura and her family while I worked. I could tell he was loved and appreciated all of the photos and flexibility. Thank you for taking care of my sweet pup!! Will definitely come back.”
“Casey took great care of my rather hyper, 10th month old golden retriever. We had done a meet a greet a week before, so she easily went with him when I dropped her off for the whole day. He sent a picture and a video of her interacting with the other dogs in his care. She seemed quite happy. He was flexible with my somewhat uncertain schedule for the day. I will definitely use him again when I am back in that area.”
“My sweet Heidi had such an amazing time with Barbara and Peter! Every morning, Heidi would run right into their arms and ready to play with her new friends. In addition, I am very thankful for how accommodating and flexible they were to my schedule.”
“Patty S. took good care of Marvin! Patty was very accommodating with a short notice scheduling and also some last minute changes in pick-up time. We look forward to having Marvin stay with her again!”
“Nicole is great to work with. She is very good with my dog. She takes him to dog parks and on walks and when he comes home, he is tired! She is knowledgeable and has shared some tips with me which I really appreciate. She communicates with me during the day and sends lots of pictures. I am very grateful to have found her!”
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!
“We couldn’t be happier with our first experience using Rover, and it was all thanks to our wonderful pet sitter! She was available on very short notice and went above and beyond to accommodate us. She even met us at a local Starbucks for drop-off instead of having us drive to her home, which made a huge difference in keeping our busy day on schedule. Partway through our trip, our plans unexpectedly changed from needing only daytime care to requiring an overnight stay. Once again, she was incredibly flexible, accommodating, and easy to work with. Throughout our dog’s stay, she was very responsive, sending regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind and reassured us that our pet was happy and well cared for. As first-time Rover users, we weren’t sure what to expect, but this experience exceeded our expectations. On top of providing exceptional care, her rates were more affordable than anyone else we found in the area. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, reliable, and reasonably priced pet sitter. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Christina is incredible with our little 5 month old puppy. She is flexible, very responsive, and has really helped our puppy build confidence and socialize with her dogs. Highly recommend Christina!!!”
“My dog had a fantastic time at Jamie's! He got to play with lots of toys, go for walks, and lounge around with new human buds. He went back a second day and was excited to see everybody, which is always a great sign! Jamie & her husband have a knack for dogs and are clearly comfortable with their quirks. I absolutely recommend them for all your dog care needs!!”
“Courtnie is absolutely fantastic! My little guy is usually a bit skittish when going to a new home for day care but he warmed up extremely well with Courtnie and her dogs! She is super accommodating and incredible when it comes to the care of dogs, very highly recommended her! Thank you so much!! ?”
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’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! :)
“Heather and her family did such an amazing job with Edie. They helped her ease into a new environment and gave her lots of love and affection. Heather sent many updates during the day and in all the pictures Edie looked happy and content. When Edie got home she was exhausted from a day of fun. I would recommend Heather to anyone looking for care for their pup!”
About: i have had a dog since i was 3 years old and absolutely love animals with all my heart! I am a recent CU Boulder and looking to fill my free time with something rewarding.

About: I am currently working towards a bachelor's in Animal Behavior and Welfare, as interacting with animals and learning about them is a passion of mine. I greatly enjoy learning to care for them and then doing so. The degree im working towards is focused on the care of animals while educating the public about them. I grew up with a dog and have had many small animals as pets throughout my life, rodents, fish, insects, arachnids, frogs, etc. Currently I have 3 reptiles and two cats. Willow-Wisp, and Boiled-Egg are my cats. My corn snake is Copper, Blue Tongued Skink is Little-Dude, and Tripod is my leopard gecko. Both Boiled-Egg and Tripod have medical conditions that require at home management and care which has given me some skills in caring for animals with disabilities. They are not the only animal I have history caring for with medical issues either. Many of my experience with pets has been rescue pets, and I have had plenty practice and patience regarding them and behaviors post trauma. I am more than willing to learn about your pets needs and help medical or otherwise. I am currently focusing on college and have plenty of time to help care for your animals. The only day I will be unavailable is Sunday. I have a fenced in yard and half the house closes off by doors so the cats will not interact with your animals unless you are comfortable with it. Depending on your animals preferance I can ensure that I spend time with them or give them the space to feel comfortable and settle in. Any and all expectations set regarding their care and what food, toys, or treats they are allowed will of course be followed. I may have treats of my own I could offer them but will only do so with your approval and in amounts you allow. I do haveextra food and water bowels if you would prefer to use those rather than bringing your own. In the case something awful were to happen I have experience bringing animals to emergency.

About: I have experience working at a dog daycare, (Dana’s Dog Spa and Daycare in Hutchinson, MN) where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities in a fast-paced environment. My responsibilities included supervising playgroups, feeding, cleaning, and making sure each dog was safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, prioritize safety on every walk and visit, and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind. I’m always happy to answer any questions and help you feel confident that your pet is in caring, reliable hands!
“Jamie has been the perfect walking buddy for our Corgi, Goober. Jamie is reliable and is excellent with communications about her visits. We're grateful to have found her on this app!”
“Nicole was fantastic with my dogs. My husband is gone for 11 hours a day and I was on vacation so my boys needed a potty break around 12. She was available on short notice and very communicative. Sent pictures during their walks. Would definitely book with her again if needed!”
About: I’ve had family pets my whole life and I worked at a humane society for four years with both cats and dogs. Over the years I’ve pet sit for quite a few families. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time hangout with your doggos. I’m usually working only twice a week with the weekends off so I have lots of free time during the week to check up on the animals. Currently I’m not able to board any animals at my house because I’m renting. When I pet sit for people I love to spend time with the animals, playing with them and giving them lots of pets and attention. Basically treat them like my puppies which are back at my parents house.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with both dogs and cats, and most recently cared for two German Shorthaired Pointers, so I’m comfortable with energetic dogs that need plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime. Outside of pet care, I work as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), which has taught me to be patient, dependable, and attentive to the little details. I know how important it is to follow routines and provide compassionate care, and I bring that same mindset when caring for pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or extra cuddles. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is being well cared for! My schedule is currently flexible while I’m searching for my next position, so I have plenty of availability to provide attentive care for your pet. As my schedule changes in the future, I’ll always keep my calendar up to date. I’ll always respect your home and your pet’s routine. Before each booking, I’d love to learn about their favorite activities, commands, quirks, and any medical or behavioral needs so I can care for them the way you do. I’ll keep water bowls full, double-check doors and leashes, and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and happy throughout my visit. You’ll also receive updates and photos so you know how they’re doing!

“Had such a GREAT experience with Sav! She knows exactly what she is doing and was SO adaptable her first time getting to know our dogs quirks. Truly, it means so much as we have a golden retriever who struggles on walks and is anxious! We will absolutely be using her again as our dog walker!”
About: I have always had a dog in my home for the past 20 years. I have been hired by many friends and families to watch and care for their pets, both cats and dogs. I also have extensive experience taking care of older dogs, as I cared for my childhood dog during the last year of her life. I also have lots of experience as an Animal Care Attendant. Taking care of all different ages, sizes, and energy levels of dogs! I am well versed in dogs with behavioral issues. Administering oral medications. As well as feeding. I am a big dog lover and have two rescue dogs myself :) I am very flexible and open during the week days. I can also be available on some weekends with notice! I typically spend my mornings taking care of my pups and getting them out on a walk. The rest of the day I am free! I am very patent when it comes to animals. I love playing, walking, and cuddling (but only when they want to). I am very observant and make sure they aren't getting into things they shouldn't. Your pets health and safety is my number one priority!
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've been taking care of pets for 20 years, starting as a 10-year-old taking care of neighbor's dogs and cats. I've raised more than a dozen dogs and cats in my life, mostly rescue animals. My partner and I currently have two dogs, Gus and Cricket, as well as a cat, Jabo. I love and care for them dearly, just as I will do for your pet(s)!

“Lori is wonderful with the dogs. Fantastic with communication. She walks them takes them to the park. Practice with the commands. I recommend her and we will be using her again.”
About: Every dog or cat has their own personality, quirks, and needs. I've had pets my entire life and people say I'm a dog whisperer. I'm not really...I just understand what motivates them (treats, love, or praise) and I work with that. My dogs and cats were always like family, and I treat other people's pets like family. I worry about mine when I'm away, so I want people to know that I understand those feelings and that their pets are in good hands. I've also had rodents and reptiles, so I can watch after them too. I do this work simply because I love animals and exercise, so this is perfect. Socialization with new people and reinforcing training material (like basic commands) is mentally beneficial for pets too. Lastly, I'm a retired government employee, so I've had quite the variety of background checks - you will find me honest, reliable and committed. Since I am retired, I can accept drop-in's or walks throughout out the day. Last minute or same day requests are a real possibility depending on when you contact me. I'm quite flexible. I'm not boarding at this time. As far as caring for your pet in your home, I will follow your instructions implicitly. When I have others take care of my own dog and they don't follow my requests, it drives me nuts!
“Hope to meet you in person soon Emma! Thank you for being dependable and easy to work with, you saved the day and helped Frida enjoy her time at the mountain house. Will definitely call you again.”

The love and attention Opal received were beyond what I could have hoped for, and I will definitely be using Heather again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Jamie took wonderful care of Opie while we were away. She was flexible and understanding of our travel schedule. She made sure Opie got plenty of exercise. He came home a happy, tired pup!”
“Stacie did an amazing job looking after my Kadie! She sent pictures and updates every day, and Kadie came home tired and happy! Anyone looking for a good, kind pet-sitter is in the right place!”
“Christina is phenomenal. She kept us up to date with how Ziibi was doing, and wasn't afraid to check in and ask if some of Ziibi's more...interesting behaviors were typical. We felt like our dog got a really personalized experience.”
“Kate watched our dog for 5 days and did awesome! Fenced in yard helped me feel reassured. Our dog also had the opportunity to socialize with other dogs (and a cat) during the stay which he needed. Loved all the pictures throughout the stay! Thanks Kate!”
“Carly was amazing with my pup, Opal! She kept us updated regularly with pictures and texts. They took great care of her (playing outside, taking her for walks, and most importantly, snuggles on the couch! I will most definitely use them again!”
“Emily took wonderful care of our Stella while we were at an out state wedding. We were able to enjoy ourselves knowing Stella was well taken care. Emily did a great job of sending pictures thoroughout the weekend of Stella's happenings. I would highly recommend Emily. Her passion for animals, approachable personality, and flexibility made the experience a wonderful success!”
“Lori was amazing!! We had a last minute booking for our 3 dogs and couldn’t be happier. Two trips to the dog park and a walk all within their 24 hour stay. Made the drive home easy with 3 tired pups. Will definitely be using Lori for our future trips to Duluth!!”
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.
“Kylee and her partner David were wonderful with our dog, Rusty! I could tell right away that they would be a good fit and that I could trust them. They provided updates and pictures which helped me feel at ease while I was away. Rusty got lots of cuddles and even got to go on a hike with them, which he loves to do! I will definitely be reaching out to Kylee any time I need someone to watch our pup.”
“He did a wonderful job of caring for my spoiled dog! He was great with photos and communication showing that my girl was well cared for, she was even cuddled up on the couch in blankies which is her favorite. He also went out for a few walks in the below zero weather to make sure she did her business, because she isn't used to a fenced in yard. My Sadie was there with another beagle and he made sure that my dog who is free fed, could get time to eat, where the other dog was on a scheduled feeding time. Hoping I can use him again in the future.”
