“My Sadie had another great weekend at Laura & Nathan's! She loves all the cuddles she gets and playing outside off her leash in their spacious fenced back yard!”
“Riley’s loves to visit Peter and Barbara’s home and they make her feel like one of the family! She loves being around the other dogs they care for and it’s a fun social time for her. Riley is happy to be dropped off so that feels great!”
“Christina, was very accommodating when we had an emergency family funeral to attend. The initial planned day was for a meet & greet but we needed emergency care for Willow & thankfully she had room. She's very good with dogs and we had talked with a couple other people coicindentally who also had their dogs kept by Christina with positive things to say. There were nuances that we hadn't remembered to mention & after communicating those with Christina, made a little more sense as to why our dog acted the way she did. It was unfortunate that our dog didn't have introduction to the setting prior to this as I'm pretty sure she was a bit overwhelmed with a different caregiver, house, dogs etc. We've reviewed many other dog sitters and Christina filled all of our desired qualities. Thank you again for accepting Willow especially under the circumstances.”
“Heather is amazing! She’s so kind and always goes above and beyond for my dog, Reka. She even carved a pumpkin for her this time! I really appreciate the regular updates and photos, and Reka gets multiple walks every day. Her sons also play with Reka, which she absolutely loves. Always a great experience with Heather — highly recommend!”
“I would definitely book with Nicole again! This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous at first. Okay, maybe a lot nervous, haha. Drop off and pick up were a breeze. My dog got to meet some new friends and go to the dog park. Nicole was very responsive and sent great updates and pics! It was such a relief knowing he was happy and safe. He even got to sleep on the bed.”
“Jamie was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was flexible when we needed to make some changes to our schedule and sent us frequent pictures and updates. I cannot recommend her enough! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!”
“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.”
About: With almost 7 years of professional experience, you can trust that your pets are in good hands! I grew up on and around farms, so I have experience with pets ranging from dogs and cats, to goats and chickens, to lizards and guinea pigs and more. Now, I have my own little zoo at home, which includes a dog, a cat, two guinea pigs, turtles, and fish. I started my professional experience at the age of 16, when I started working at a doggy daycare. Once I moved to the Duluth area, I continued caring for pets through Rover and similar sites. In the last few months, I have started my own business petsitting and dog walking. In addition, I have done volunteer work through animal shelters and worked closely with dog trainers to expand my knowledge and experience with pets of all kinds. I currently work full time Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm, as well as 9am-3pm Saturdays and 5pm-9pm Friday and Saturday nights. In order to make sure that my pets are getting all the love and attention they need, I will no longer be able to do overnight visits on weekdays. I am more than happy to stay over on weekends and do drop-in visits during the week, though! I love spoiling my pets, and would love to do so with yours as well. I have a lot of experience with complex feeding and medication instructions. I am also very active, so I can exercise your pup in a safe one-on-one environment, bring them to the dog park, provide mental stimulation with puzzles, or cuddle with them if they're a little older- whichever is preferred by you and your pupper.
“Kelli was great! Pebbles really had a good time there. Very nice fenced in yard and she loved playing ball and tug-of-war with the kids and jumping into the pool!”
“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!”
About: Hi, I’m Sierra! I’ve loved animals my entire life and have years of hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets.

I treat every pet like they’re my own by providing plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, potty breaks, walks, and any special needs to ensure your pet stays happy and healthy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I work hard to keep each pet on their normal schedule so they feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel safe and comfortable. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and any special needs.

About: I have two chocolate labs at home. I have cared for these dogs for 8+ years, and I have also dog-sat plenty of my neighbors', community members', friends', and relatives’ dogs over the years. I love to adventure with my dogs, but I can accommodate whatever adventure means for each dog, based on ability and the owner's desire. Also, I have done training with my oldest dog, have experience giving medication upon the owner's instructions, and have sat with quite sick dogs (my attentiveness to needs in this department is high). Overall, excited to sit for you! And let me know if you have further questions for me! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pups! I’m available for watching on both weekends and weekdays when you need my help! I will have work throughout the week, but I can pick up times to watch as my schedule is flexible. I spend a lot of time with my dogs when they go outside, and I walk/run them every day. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I also have experience ensuring owners’ dogs receive their medications and the correct dosages. Overall, I can adjust to all your pup’s needs!
“Lassie had a wonderful time with Rachel, her family and her pets! She whined in the car when we were driving off…she didn’t want to leave! Thank you so much for the great care you took of her and for sending so many pictures during her fun time there!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Scout had a wonderful stay with Marly! She is a senior canine-citizen and needs a few extra potty breaks and TLC and she got exactly what she needed at Marly's house. Thanks, Marly!”
“Amber was fantastic. Prior to our scheduled overnight amber spent time getting to know Otis, my super high energy, sort of anxious, golden retriever puppy. Amber immediately made a connection with Otis, I knew Otis would be in good, experienced hands.”
“This was our first time having someone else watch our pup overnight. He seemed very happy and tired when he came home, we'll be using Casey again in the future for sure!”

“Adriana took very good care of our pets and they loved spending time and playing with her! She communicated with us very well and worked with us if we need to modify the schedule. I would definitely recommend her services.!”
“This was our second time booking with Sabrina and her daughter! We appreciate them so much, they always do such a wonderful job checking on our cats. We will definitely continue to book with them!”
“Kimberly is fantastic. She totally met and exceeded my expectations as a first time user of Rover. My two cats were super well cared for and her daily notes and pictures were awesome and very appreciated. She's a real pro.”
“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!!”
“Talia is very professional, highly communicative, and very responsible. I felt very comfortable with my baby in her hands. She medicated my cat like a pro. She made the effort to do the things my cat enjoys like being walked! My place was left clean. I'm definitely booking Talia again!”
“Christina is wonderful with animals and very professional. She took care of my two cats and hamster while we were on vacation. She was reliable and kept me informed about the status of my animals. She communicates very well. I already booked our next vacation with Christina watching our pets. I recommend her 100%!”
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.
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.
About: I have taken care of cats since I was a child- so over 25 years now! My family has always had cats and I’ve been able to make sure they are fed, watered, groomed, and get lots of love and playtime. I also have had my own cat, Virginia, for over 7 years now and she’s my world. I’m new to the area and co manage the Duluth Buckle location. I would love to get to know the area more and fill my free time helping take care of other cats!
“Beth was wonderfully professional!!! She sent us pictures of our pets and a brief report every night! It put our minds at ease that she was taking such good care of our pets and watched our house, including bringing in the mail and watering the plants. I recommend her highly!!”
“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!”
“We're so happy we found Allie! She's been so kind with our ups and exceeding our expectations. One of our dogs is timid and she has been super patient with him. You can definitely tell she's an animal person!”
“Anna was a great sitter for my cat ! I was afraid he would be hiding the whole time during her visits but she took the time to win him over, and he accepted some affection. She sent lots of photos , she brought in a package for me, she even made it over during a lot of snow when travel was difficult. She came by twice so I could show her how to open our difficult front door and give her the keys, she came all the way back to drop them off to me when I got home from traveling. She also volunteered to do one last check up on him when I was going to be back later than expected because of flights. Will definitely be booking her again when I travel again.”
About: I've had cats my entire life and have experience administering meds including insulin. I'm good at understanding their weird brain communication styles and know I need to gain their trust.
About: Hello there! I have been working in the pet industry for 6 years now and two years not in the industry. I have done everything from training to grooming. Currently living in Minneapolis, I have one larger dog named Gros tet (big head). He melts like butter and plays according to the animal visitors play type! When you book with me know your animals are in good hands, I will ask questions before the final book to make sure it is a good fit for you and for me. Communication is key in my eyes, and I love sending photo updates throughout the day! 2019 I left the active duty military, and my husband of 3 years is still active duty Marines. (So if you have an energetic pup that needs some run time we would be happy to accommodate!) when it comes to grooming, I operate my at home salon…well at home… could be good for some doggies and not so much for others. Ask away! I love giving recommendations to educate people about their pets:) Much love, The Legers At the moment I do not work but I go to online college! I’m typically home all day unless I need to step out for errands. We go to bed around 10-12pm and wake up around 7am everyday. Pretty relaxed. If you have a list I’ll gladly go through it. Every dog is different and with ever dog routines need to be adjusted. Since I already have a dog in home usually, visiting dogs like following him around, typically he is a very good trend setter! I will only do things I feel comfortable with, for example, if weather is bad and you would like a walk during the day, the animals safety comes first! We will try other games around the house! Or maybe even a training/mental stimulation session!

“Thank you Christina! I am pleased with how comfortable they were on their first visit with you. And that they spent a lot of time outside! My high energy girl needs that 😀”
“I really didn’t know what to expect from using an app to find a sitter for my exuberant 7yo GSD. While scrolling through the site, I was surprised by how many qualified people were offering their services! I quickly found who I needed, largely due to Rover’s platform, which I found to be both concise and intuitive and extremely well thought out! Fast forward to meeting with our prospective sitters, Nate & Laura. I instantly felt confident that this was going to be a good choice for me and my guy Rukus. I am happy to report that upon finishing our first week that everything went incredibly smoothly. Nate & Laura’s friendly, professional, calm vibe are exactly what I had hoped for in a sitter for my guy! I also really enjoy the pictures that they share with me! If I could give my pup’s host family more than 5 stars, I would. If I could give this experience - the app, the process, the people more than 5 stars, I would do that too!”
“Winnie seemed very comfortable with Peter and Barb. Peter provided good ongoing photos and communication which put our minds at ease right away. We will use his services again.”
“Rachel and family are the absolute best! Could not ask for better people to take care of Luna! They do a great job of exercising and playing with her! She always comes home exhausted.”

“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!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Came from out of town and needed a sitter for a few hours. Casey was fantastic and my pup was so happy! Will definitely let him know if we’re in town and need a sitter again!!”
“Courtnie took excellent care of our dog Hank! We felt so welcomed and at ease at the meet and greet. They took the extra time and care to make sure everybody and every critter was comfy with the new pack member. Hank had a lovely stay! We’re grateful to know our little fella is getting the best care with Courtnie’s knowledgeable, attentive, fun-lovin family!”
“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 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!
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! :)

“Christina is wonderful with our 4 month old puppy Dolly. She has been very helpful in the training and socializing processes. She is very kind, patient, courteous and responsible. Christina communicates all needs or issues respectfully. Christina does her best to accommodate any changes to Dolly’s walk schedule. We feel 100% confident that Christina cares for Dolly as if she were one of her own. My husband and I can not say enough good things about Christina. If we could we would definitely give her way more than 5 stars. We would 100% recommend Christina to all of our family and friends.”

“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 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!!”
About: I have owned my dogs since they were puppies and trained them myself for general commands as sit, down and come, and also potty training. I also grew up with cats. I also used to have a roommate where I would assist in the care of her German Shepherd as well who does not do well with strangers, which makes me used to big dogs that seem scary and can pull if they want to. I have one dog of my own currently and a toddler. We live in our own home in town with a fenced yard. I have already had COVID-19 and also am fully vaccinated for COVID-19. I currently work full time 9-5 job Monday-Friday straight. I can easily schedule drop ins and walks fitting around this schedule as my regular schedule is extremely predictable. I’m flexible in needing to leave work early if I need to on certain days and may be able to accommodate for last minute changes in your needs. I am comfortable with both shy and overly exitable pets of all sizes and can match their energy and needs. I will take pets on outings and work with training on request.

About: I’ve taken care of my brothers pitbull and my mom’s Argentinian dogo on and off for the last six years and I love it! I’ve always loved taking care of animals, in a different life I would have been a vet! I’m new to the are and moved here to be a co manager at the Duluth Buckle. I’m hoping to fill my extra time with taking care of furry family members! I work full time as a manager at the Buckle, but have two days off during the week and usually time before or after a shift to help as well. I can only help animals in the home of their own parents, but can follow instructions and will do anything to help and take care of your pet.
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.
About: Hi! My name is Anna! Since I was five I have always been around dogs. I would dog sit for my grandmother's three corgis, a few coworkers of my mom, even friends and relatives. Having a dog of my own I understand the responsibilities that are entitled. I've had experience with giving animals medicine too, so that isn't a problem for me! I promise I will give your dog my full attention whether it be for food, potty breaks, or even a good ear scratch! If any problems arise I will make sure to contact you with any and all questions I might have! Long walks are my favorite and very therapeutic, so why not give a dog a little exercise in the mean time? I am hardworking, attentive, cautious, able to follow explicit care instructions, reliable, and trustworthy towards any and all dogs and people I come across! I hope I can have the opportunity to work with you and your furry friend! I work early afternoon/evenings four days a week, so if you need someone to hang out with your pal during the day while you're at work, then I'm your gal! I am super attentive to all animals in my household. Potty breaks, exercise, food, I keep up with any and all needs. Im gentle, friendly, respectful of space and chill.

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.
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 love animals of all shapes, breeds, sizes etc. Growing up I was surrounded by a variety of dogs; collies, mastiffs, and great danes. There was never a time we did not have a dog. I have a lot of experience with dogs and some with cats. I am also very familiar with geckos and bearded dragons. I had a crested gecko as well as a bearded dragon. I currently have two dogs: Skye and Bella. They are sisters who look and act completely different. Skye has had some medical issues so I'm familiar with medication administration and cleaning out ears. I work short shifts at my regular jobs so just message me to see if I am good fit for your fur babies! I will always do my best to make things work In my home, I walk my dogs around the neighborhood 3-4 times a day. So I would do the same for your dog(s). We love to go to the dog park and try to do that every week. With your approval that is always an option. In your home, I will make sure to follow your instructions so that you and your fur baby are as comfortable and happy as can be.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, from puppies to the elderly. They’re all adorable! I have experience giving medication such as pills and ear drops. I love all dogs and will clean up a mess they’ve made even if it’s inconvenient. Baths are always a struggle for most dogs, but I think of it as a fun challenge! I’m always putting my all into caring for your pet! I’m currently attending college, so I will take care of your adorable dogs when I’m not at school or at work! I have class on Thursdays, and I work at my internship on Tuesdays and Fridays! I also work my part time job in the evenings Monday-Friday. My more flexible availability would be on Mondays, Wednesdays and weekends! But if you need me to help out on any day of the week we can talk and we can try to work it out! I have always had plenty of animals in the home growing up! I’ve taken care of puppies and older dogs, I love them all! I’m always willing to go the extra mile to make sure they get what they need. You just need to communicate what their needs are and I will do my best! Your dogs comfort and happiness is my top priority always! I have experience with cats as well! I rescued a kitten on the side of the road almost 2 years ago and now I have a love for cats! :) I have a younger cat and an older cat so I have experience with cleaning ears and giving meditation!
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. :)
About: Hello there! I have been working in the pet industry for 6 years now and two years not in the industry. I have done everything from training to grooming. Currently living in Minneapolis, I have one larger dog named Gros tet (big head). He melts like butter and plays according to the animal visitors play type! When you book with me know your animals are in good hands, I will ask questions before the final book to make sure it is a good fit for you and for me. Communication is key in my eyes, and I love sending photo updates throughout the day! 2019 I left the active duty military, and my husband of 3 years is still active duty Marines. (So if you have an energetic pup that needs some run time we would be happy to accommodate!) when it comes to grooming, I operate my at home salon…well at home… could be good for some doggies and not so much for others. Ask away! I love giving recommendations to educate people about their pets:) Much love, The Legers At the moment I do not work but I go to online college! I’m typically home all day unless I need to step out for errands. We go to bed around 10-12pm and wake up around 7am everyday. Pretty relaxed. If you have a list I’ll gladly go through it. Every dog is different and with ever dog routines need to be adjusted. Since I already have a dog in home usually, visiting dogs like following him around, typically he is a very good trend setter! I will only do things I feel comfortable with, for example, if weather is bad and you would like a walk during the day, the animals safety comes first! We will try other games around the house! Or maybe even a training/mental stimulation session!

“My Sadie had another great weekend at Laura & Nathan's! She loves all the cuddles she gets and playing outside off her leash in their spacious fenced back yard!”
“Riley’s loves to visit Peter and Barbara’s home and they make her feel like one of the family! She loves being around the other dogs they care for and it’s a fun social time for her. Riley is happy to be dropped off so that feels great!”
“Christina, was very accommodating when we had an emergency family funeral to attend. The initial planned day was for a meet & greet but we needed emergency care for Willow & thankfully she had room. She's very good with dogs and we had talked with a couple other people coicindentally who also had their dogs kept by Christina with positive things to say. There were nuances that we hadn't remembered to mention & after communicating those with Christina, made a little more sense as to why our dog acted the way she did. It was unfortunate that our dog didn't have introduction to the setting prior to this as I'm pretty sure she was a bit overwhelmed with a different caregiver, house, dogs etc. We've reviewed many other dog sitters and Christina filled all of our desired qualities. Thank you again for accepting Willow especially under the circumstances.”
“Heather is amazing! She’s so kind and always goes above and beyond for my dog, Reka. She even carved a pumpkin for her this time! I really appreciate the regular updates and photos, and Reka gets multiple walks every day. Her sons also play with Reka, which she absolutely loves. Always a great experience with Heather — highly recommend!”
“Jamie was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was flexible when we needed to make some changes to our schedule and sent us frequent pictures and updates. I cannot recommend her enough! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!”
“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.”
“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!”

About: I have two chocolate labs at home. I have cared for these dogs for 8+ years, and I have also dog-sat plenty of my neighbors', community members', friends', and relatives’ dogs over the years. I love to adventure with my dogs, but I can accommodate whatever adventure means for each dog, based on ability and the owner's desire. Also, I have done training with my oldest dog, have experience giving medication upon the owner's instructions, and have sat with quite sick dogs (my attentiveness to needs in this department is high). Overall, excited to sit for you! And let me know if you have further questions for me! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pups! I’m available for watching on both weekends and weekdays when you need my help! I will have work throughout the week, but I can pick up times to watch as my schedule is flexible. I spend a lot of time with my dogs when they go outside, and I walk/run them every day. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I also have experience ensuring owners’ dogs receive their medications and the correct dosages. Overall, I can adjust to all your pup’s needs!
“Lassie had a wonderful time with Rachel, her family and her pets! She whined in the car when we were driving off…she didn’t want to leave! Thank you so much for the great care you took of her and for sending so many pictures during her fun time there!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Amber was fantastic. Prior to our scheduled overnight amber spent time getting to know Otis, my super high energy, sort of anxious, golden retriever puppy. Amber immediately made a connection with Otis, I knew Otis would be in good, experienced hands.”
“This was our first time having someone else watch our pup overnight. He seemed very happy and tired when he came home, we'll be using Casey again in the future for sure!”
“Lisa is AMAZING!! She was able to take our very active puppy VERY last minute. She welcomed him into her home and he loved it! She sent picture updates and was amazingly flexible. I undoubtedly would have my pup stay with her again!”
“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!”
