“Jai had a fantastic time with Peter and Barbara! Lots of walks and playtime with other pups. Sent a ton of pictures to keep us updated. Flexible and agreed for a last minute stay. Will repeat!”
“I highly recommend Nathan & Laura! They and their daughters did an excellent job with my high energy dog. Their fenced yard was great for my dog to exercise. Will rebook when they are available.”
“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.”
“Our dog loved his stay with Patty (especially the big backyard)! She was very prompt and helpful in communicating, and did an excellent job caring for our slightly anxious boy. She also accommodated our last-minute booking and was flexible with drop off and pick up.”
“Jamie and Kyle were so wonderful and took such good care of my girl. They treated her like a total princess and made sure she didn’t miss us one bit for the time we were gone. Jamie sent tons of photos and communicated an update at least once a day so I always knew what my doggo was up to and made being away from her easier. I would absolutely have my doggo stay with her again!”
“Casey took good care of our dog while we were away on vacation. This was his first time away from us for so long and I was a bit worried about how he would handle it. Casey took the time to send me pictures and videos each day to show how well he was handling the separation. Our dog was very happy for most of the time away from us, and I could tell that Casey took the time to take good care of our dog. He followed all of our instructions for care very well. I highly suggest his services and we'll be sharing his name with other local dog owners.”
“Shiloh did amazing with our golden doodle Jinx! She sent sweet update photos and jinx came back happy as ever. Her children gave our dog lots of love and her dog was very sweet and playful!”
“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!”
“Christina is INCREDIBLE, I have a sensitive older Husky, and staying with Christina was like summer camp for him. She frequently send photos and videos and is very responsive and accommodating. 11/10 experience!”
“Our pups Nova and Archer loved it there! They had sent us many photos and videos (which we loved!) We will definitely be going to them again in the future. Great family, great environment and most importantly our dogs enjoyed getting loved by the kids. They helped tire the pups out, so thank you for that!! ?”
“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!”
“Kylee and David are excellent pet sitters! I don't have to worry at all when our dog is with them. He gets to go on adventures and lots of walks. He comes home happy and sleepy! :)”
“Tatum was a dream! Beyond accommodating and loving to our puppy. She sent us pictures, videos and let us know how he was doing the entire stay. By the pictures you could tell our puppy was in heaven and got lots of love!”
“Mike took amazing care of our pup while we were away and it was so fun getting pictures and videos of her throughout each day. He pampered her & loved on her so much we didn’t have to worry at all about her having fun while we were gone! He is absolutely phenomenal with her! She had a fabulous time with him. We highly recommend Mike and will definitely be asking him to take care of Didgi the next time we are away!”
“Amber has been so wonderful and a lifesaver for my pooch and me. After fracturing my ankle, she came and picked up hanky for a few days while I was unable to properly take care of him. She brought him home when I was feeling better and now picking him up while I await surgery. I am so fortunate to have her and know my hanky boy is in good hands as I go through this. Thank you to her and her family for the help and support❤️”
“Would give 10/5 stars if i could!!!! I got lots of updates and photos and they're obviously really good with dogs. Bluto is usually super stressed when he comes home from being boarded but hes completely relaxed and obviously had a good time there. Will definitely try to rebook every time i go on a trip.”
“Lisa made us and our boys us feel welcome and comfortable from the beginning. She sent us updates and pictures of them while we were away. She was easy to get ahold of and responded quickly. We would recommend her to anyone and would definitely have her look after our boys again.”

About: I have been a pet lover for as long as I can remember, cats especially! My family lived in a popular stray drop-off area, so I grew up taming and loving every kitty I could get my paws on! My soul kitty showed up on my doorstep in the early morning of my 18th birthday - it was truly meant to be. Since graduating college, I have been working at Wired Whisker, the cat cafe in Duluth! During that time, I’ve continued to build my experience socializing cats, administering medication, and providing everyday care. I’ve helped support over 200 cats on their journey to finding the perfect forever home! Therefore, I will provide your kitty/kitties with - The highest quality care - Calm, quiet, gentle, & thorough check-ins - Confident medication administration
About: I've been cat sitting since I was 14 for family and friends. My primary goal is always to make your animal as comfortable as possible. I love both spending quiet time and playing for hours depending on the cat.
“Jayden did such a good job dropping in to check on my kitty! She had such great communication throughout the entire process, and did so well with handling my rambunctious boy! Jayden also demonstrated flexibility when I had to change around some times to meet her, which is much appreciated! I would recommend Jayden to anyone looking for a sitter for their pet(s).”
“Would highly recommend Ava for pet sitting. She did a fantastic job with checking in on my cat when we were away from home. She made sure his litter box was taken care of, automatic feeder was working well, and played with our cat. I loved receiving pictures of him everytime she saw him. Very happy pet owner 🥰.”
“Talia is absolutely wonderful! I was SO comfortable and confident with her watching my kitten. She provides lots of updates and communicates frequently; I can’t wait to use her services again, and I would highly recommend her to anyone!!”
About: I’ve always loved cats. My childhood cat was my bestie, and my current cat (a 2-year-old cutie named Ghost) is my soul kitty. My mom has always had cats as well, and I’ve enjoyed sitting for her, as well as for other friends with cats. I’ve been pet sitting (both dogs and cats) for friends and family for at least 15 years (probably longer!), and I truly love caring for their pets. I look forward to meeting your kitties and giving them love, food, pets, and playtime when you’re not able to.
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“Courtney was the sweetest individual ever who took such good care of my kitty while he stayed with her. Most people wouldn't be willing to board a cat for near a week and she not only did but she did everything she could to make him comfortable during that time. Will absolutely be booking with her again!!”
“Peter was an excellent choice for caring for our cat Finn. He communicated daily with videos+fun pictures. Because our cat goes outside a few hours per day. Peter kindly let him out and back in. I really appreciated having a responsible caregiver for our furry family member!!”
About: I have experience when dog-sitting my dogs, family dogs, and friends' dogs. I worked with all sizes. I've worked with reactive dogs and easy-going dogs. I have also taken care of senior dogs and puppies. I have had a puppy as my own and senior dogs as my own as well as reactive dogs. I am very comfortable with walking dogs and taking care of them! I do work a part time job, I usually work in the morning times and am off after 12. I have a car so can make anytime work! I don't have pets at my own home due to having roommates and other pets in the home. I am willing to take care of your furry friend at your house! I will take them potty, on a walk, make sure they have water or if they need to be fed. I will also make sure they have what they need, such as toys, water, food, and attention of course! and are put where they need to be!
“Sav came to my rescue when I needed care for my 9yo Newfie following an unexpected health event of my father and sudden change in plans. Knowing my pup would receive high quality compassionate care allowed me to focus on my out of state family. Sav was responsive, attentive to detail, in tune with my senior pup’s needs, and her exceptional service brought me calm+confidence. I’m excited to have found a dependable new care giver that I can look to for future needs.”
“From the moment we met Misha, I felt completely at ease about leaving our kitty in her care. Her kindness and attentiveness gave me such peace of mind during our weekend away. She truly went above and beyond to make sure he felt safe, relaxed, and loved. I would definitely ask her to watch him again!”
“We were very fortunate to get Renee because we booked kind of late. We were able to meet Renee at our home so we could meet each other and so she could meet Copper. We appreciated that she wanted to make sure she had all of the details so she could take care”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“We had our dog Nala hang out for a few hours while we went on a motorcycle ride. Immediately they were so nice and wanted us to check out their space beforehand and let us know the area Nala would be. They took pictures while we were out and their daughter was excited for Nala to be there. Highly recommend these guys. They love dogs and are very hospitable. Very clean and safe environment for your fur baby.”
“Casey is capable, considerate, and responsive when caring for your pets. Sent some fun videos throughout the day and it was a relief knowing that our dog was in great hands. Our pup came back exhausted and happy. Will definitely use Casey in the future!”
“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!”
“Patty is the absolute best. Our boy is reactive, and when we had family visit, we needed a place for him to stay during the day to avoid the stress of having strangers (to him) in the house. Oh my goodness I cannot say enough good things about his stay! She was so flexible with timing, which was great since our dinners and activities were very variable. She gave us lots of pictures, followed his lead on if/when he wanted to meet new dogs, and he was so excited to see her every day! She was responsive, kind, and the big yard to run around in was so so good for him. Patty is very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs, and asked all the questions that made me feel like she was going to handle our dog well. She gives full answers to any questions you may have, as well. We will for sure be using her again!”
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!
“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!! ?”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our slightly spoiled dog with someone he didn’t know. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend Jamie! Our dog has anxiety issues and Jamie sent updates and pictures and I could see he was very comfortable. After we picked him up he was calm and no anxiety! Thank you Jamie sooo much!!”
About: Hi! I’m Molly — a Duluth local, mom of two, and lifelong dog lover. I know how important it is to feel completely at ease when someone else is caring for your pet. They’re family. I treat every dog in my care the same way I treat my own — with patience, structure, warmth, and lots of attention. I work primarily from home, which means your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’m used to managing routines (kids + life 😅), so feeding schedules, medication timing, crate routines, and special instructions are absolutely welcome. I also have a 4- and 7-year-old who absolutely love dogs and have grown up around them. They are gentle, respectful, and understand boundaries — but because of that, I do require that any dog in my care is comfortable around children. If your pup enjoys being part of a family environment with lots of love (and the occasional extra belly rub from small humans), they’ll feel right at home here. We spend a lot of time outside — neighborhood walks, time in the yard, and enjoying all the fresh air Duluth has to offer. If your dog loves movement and stimulation, they’ll fit right in. If they’re more of a couch-and-cuddles type, I’m equally happy to match their pace. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work primarily from home, so I’m able to provide consistent supervision, potty breaks, walks, and attention throughout the day — not just mornings and evenings. Our family already has a rhythm built around school drop-offs, outdoor time, and evenings at home, which makes it easy to incorporate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and quiet rest periods. I’m very comfortable following a dog’s existing routine so they feel secure and settled while you’re away. Weekends are typically slower and home-centered for us, which allows for even more engagement, walks, and time outside. Your dog wouldn’t be an “add-on” to our week — they’d be part of our normal flow. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on helping them feel safe and settled as quickly as possible. I follow their usual feeding schedule, potty routine, crate preferences, and any specific instructions you provide. I keep the environment calm, clean, and supervised, with plenty of outdoor time and play balanced with rest. Because I have children, safety is always a top priority. Dogs are never left unattended with kids, and I only accept pets who are comfortable in a family environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m equally respectful and detail-oriented. I stick closely to your established routine so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I’m mindful of your space, keep things tidy, and provide consistent updates with photos so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a home just as you left it.
“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.”
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 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. I have experience working with service dogs through both my sorority, Delta Gamma, and on campus clubs. I have worked with all types of dogs and have experience training service dogs and puppies. I am super flexible with rates! Reach out with any questions:) I am currently studying for my LSAT and working from home. This means I have the perfect schedule to help tend to anything your dog needs, or just be there to hang out with them. Unfortunately I do not currently offer boarding, though I am happy to watch your dog at a clients home. I will ensure your pet is thoroughly cared for and gets more love than you can imagine.
“Rachel and her family are awesome! Great communication, (I recieved lots of pictures of her day) My puppy warmed up to them and the other dogs so quickly! She came home happy and ready for a good nights sleep! Definitely recommended and will be my choice for next time!”
“Not only were Aneesa and Ethan super flexible with working out pick-up/drop-off times, but Chester also came home SO happy and obviously well taken care of during his stay. Can't wait for the puppies to hang out again!”
About: Hi, I'm Kelly! I love dogs and have experience dog sitting many different ages and breeds. I absolutely love taking dogs on long walks or hikes, playing at the park with others, or just cuddling up on the couch. I'm responsible, friendly, communicative, and honest. I know how much you'll miss your pet while you're away, so I always send LOTS of pictures to keep you in the loop on everything that is happening. I look forward to meeting you and your dog soon, and always provide my clients with a list of references before booking! Please let me know if you have any questions for me. I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I'm currently working from home full-time, so your dog won't be home alone much at all while you're away. He/she will likely participate in some of my Zoom meetings :-) I care for your pets as if they were my own, because that's what I want for my own dog when I'm away. When you get home, your dog will be happy & tired!
“She did a great job with Lola. We really appreciated the last minute accommodation and she was very flexible with our time. Thank you again. Will definitely use again when in the area.”

I will do everything to protect your pets and provide them with quality care.
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’ve also spent many years caring for the pets of friends and family, providing reliable cat and dog sitting while they were away and regularly walking their dogs.

I’m always happy to answer any questions and help you feel confident that your pet is in caring, reliable hands!

“Audriana is fantastic! She gives my updates of how my puppy is doing on his walks and sends me pictures. She also gave me over a months notice when she was going to be out of town and not able to walk my little guy. Would HIGHLY recommend Audriana.”

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: Hi! My name is Mara, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and your home while you’re away. I have grown up with multiple dogs and have always loved being around animals. Over the years, I have also provided dog sitting and house sitting for neighbors and family members, caring for pets in their own homes, following their routines, and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I will take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience providing more specialized care, including administering IV medication for an elderly animal I was watching. This experience taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, attention to detail, and following care instructions carefully. My background working in childcare, summer camps, and other safety-focused roles has helped me become dependable, organized, and attentive. I will treat your pets like they are my own and your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I am happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently a full-time online student, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I am happy to work with your pet’s routine to provide consistent and reliable care. I care for pets by keeping their routines consistent and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow all care instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and I treat each pet and home with the same respect I would want for my own. I am happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for.
About: I have never lived without having both a dog and a cat in my house. Current residents include 2 dogs and 2 cats, but my family has fostered cats/kittens for about 8 years and dogs/puppies for about 5. I have taken care of neighbor's pets for both drop-in visits and extended care periods. I am currently in Graduate School and missing my animals so I would love to come visit yours!! I'm currently taking classes for my Graduate program Monday-Wednesdays, but I am available those evenings and the entire day Thursday-Sundays. I would love to use pet care as a break from homework! I have experience with animals with many different personalities, and I have developed the skill to adjust my approach to each pet to match what they need from a caretaker. Trust between me, you as the owner, and your pet is incredibly important to me, so I am happy to learn how to best support each dog or cat's safety and happiness!
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!
“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!!”

I am comfortable in most settings, and can handle multiple pets at a time. As a college student I am very flexible with hours, can do mostly weeknights and weekends. I also have time in between some day classes! I have crate trained my dogs, while also letting them snuggle up on bed with me. I am very comfortable around all dog types, and have dealt with both sick and healthy dogs. You can trust they will be in good and caring hands!
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!

“Jai had a fantastic time with Peter and Barbara! Lots of walks and playtime with other pups. Sent a ton of pictures to keep us updated. Flexible and agreed for a last minute stay. Will repeat!”
“I highly recommend Nathan & Laura! They and their daughters did an excellent job with my high energy dog. Their fenced yard was great for my dog to exercise. Will rebook when they are available.”
“Our dog loved his stay with Patty (especially the big backyard)! She was very prompt and helpful in communicating, and did an excellent job caring for our slightly anxious boy. She also accommodated our last-minute booking and was flexible with drop off and pick up.”
“Jamie and Kyle were so wonderful and took such good care of my girl. They treated her like a total princess and made sure she didn’t miss us one bit for the time we were gone. Jamie sent tons of photos and communicated an update at least once a day so I always knew what my doggo was up to and made being away from her easier. I would absolutely have my doggo stay with her again!”
“Casey took good care of our dog while we were away on vacation. This was his first time away from us for so long and I was a bit worried about how he would handle it. Casey took the time to send me pictures and videos each day to show how well he was handling the separation. Our dog was very happy for most of the time away from us, and I could tell that Casey took the time to take good care of our dog. He followed all of our instructions for care very well. I highly suggest his services and we'll be sharing his name with other local dog owners.”
“Shiloh did amazing with our golden doodle Jinx! She sent sweet update photos and jinx came back happy as ever. Her children gave our dog lots of love and her dog was very sweet and playful!”
“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!”
“Christina is INCREDIBLE, I have a sensitive older Husky, and staying with Christina was like summer camp for him. She frequently send photos and videos and is very responsive and accommodating. 11/10 experience!”
“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!”
“Kylee and David are excellent pet sitters! I don't have to worry at all when our dog is with them. He gets to go on adventures and lots of walks. He comes home happy and sleepy! :)”
“Mike took amazing care of our pup while we were away and it was so fun getting pictures and videos of her throughout each day. He pampered her & loved on her so much we didn’t have to worry at all about her having fun while we were gone! He is absolutely phenomenal with her! She had a fabulous time with him. We highly recommend Mike and will definitely be asking him to take care of Didgi the next time we are away!”
“Amber has been so wonderful and a lifesaver for my pooch and me. After fracturing my ankle, she came and picked up hanky for a few days while I was unable to properly take care of him. She brought him home when I was feeling better and now picking him up while I await surgery. I am so fortunate to have her and know my hanky boy is in good hands as I go through this. Thank you to her and her family for the help and support❤️”
“Would give 10/5 stars if i could!!!! I got lots of updates and photos and they're obviously really good with dogs. Bluto is usually super stressed when he comes home from being boarded but hes completely relaxed and obviously had a good time there. Will definitely try to rebook every time i go on a trip.”
“Lisa made us and our boys us feel welcome and comfortable from the beginning. She sent us updates and pictures of them while we were away. She was easy to get ahold of and responded quickly. We would recommend her to anyone and would definitely have her look after our boys again.”
“Rachel and her family always go above and beyond to not only make sure that my pup is well taken care of, but sends many pictures and updates for our peace of mind! Many walks, hikes, time outside just hanging out with fellow dog friends, and plenty of pets and love were evident! Thank you again!!”
“Very attentive and responsive. Sent pics of my pup all weekend and made sure I was updated with everything going on. Picking up and dropping off was a breeze! I’d highly recommend Kate :)”
