“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!”
“Zane was great! He kept me updated with notes and pictures while he watched our dog and she was exhausted from all the playing when we picked her up. We will definitely be using Zane again!”
“Thank you for your attentive care for my two girls!! This was our first visit and it didn’t take long for the girls to settle in. Great communication and photos.”
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with Reka! She kept me updated with great communication, photos, and regular updates. Reka received so much love and attention from Heather, her kids, and even the neighbors. She had a blast playing with other dogs and was truly treated like a princess. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Patty is amazing! Tango had an allergic reaction while staying with her and she notified me immediately and she knew exactly what to do for him. Tango loves staying at her house and always comes home happy and calm and ready for a long nap:) Patty is our #1, I never worry about anything when Tango is with her. :)”
“Christina was great with Penny and appreciated it soo much for a quick stop in Duluth. She helped get her to eat which was getting a little touchy on our travels and sent lots of pics (which I love). Penny looked right at home. Thank you and will look for you whenever we get back to Duluth again😁”
“Jamie and her family are great pet sitters! She has watched our dog and our cats! They were very accommodating to all of our pets and even bought extra toys and snacks for them to help them feel more comfortable in a new space! We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“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!”
“We boarded our dog Astro with Kaylee for two weeks in October. She took excellent care of him, and he clearly was fond of Kaylee and David, and felt very comfortable staying with them. Kaylee texted me photos of Astro daily, which made my separation anxiety a little easier to handle! I would highly recommend Kaylee as a caretaker for your pooch.”
“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!”
“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.”
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.
“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 :)”
“Excellent first time experience. Very caring and loving. Sent lots of pictures. Went above and beyond to make sure our doggy was well taken care of. He was tired after all the play time and slept like a log 😄 will definitely board again. Highly recommended!”
“My two boys had a great time and were well looked after by Casey. I’m so impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. They seemed right at home in his house and fenced yard. Will definitely visit 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!!”

I am currently doing online classes with a few afternoon appointments so your fur baby would have my full attention for fun play time, frequent bathroom breaks and leisurely walks.

I am currently working a job from 7am-3:30pm sometimes 4:30pm. I am fully available in the evenings and weekends! I would love to fill my spare time caring for your pets!

About: Hi there! If you’re looking for someone who truly adores animals, you’ve come to the right place! From childhood through high school, I spent my time walking neighborhood dogs alongside caring for our own family pets. I was known around the neighborhood as the reliable babysitter and animal lover everyone could count on! At 17, I took on the rewarding challenge of training my own Service Dog, which gave me even more hands-on experience and deepened my love and understanding of dogs. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities! From gentle senior pups who need a slower pace to week-old puppies still with their mama. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know and care for hundreds of dogs, each with their own unique personality and needs. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I’m currently on summer break from college, which means I will have plenty of time and flexibility for walks, playtime, cuddles, and quality pet care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your furry family member. I tailor my care to each individual pup and always work closely with pet parents to create the safest and most comfortable environment possible, because nobody knows your dog better than you do! I have safety plans and routines in place for different types of care and am always happy to adapt to your pet’s unique needs, personality, and routine. Feel free to message me with any questions about my services or safety measures! I’d love to chat and help you feel confident and comfortable when booking with me!
“Sabrina and her daughter did such a wonderful job! We were so happy to get daily updates on our cats during the drop in visits, and are very thankful for how attentive and helpful they were. Will definitely book with Sabrina again in the future!”
“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: 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!
“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%!”
“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!”
About: I am a lover of all things animals. I grew up with dogs and around cats. I volunteered at the Animal Humane Society in the Twin Cities for two years. I am also familiar with taking care of birds, reptiles and Guinea pigs for short periods of time. I am a teacher, so during the summer I am available most times of the day. I do like to travel on some weekends, but am open during typical work week hours! I am great at following directions. I have been trained in understanding animal body language to know how they are feeling. I know how to put on a harness and a gentle leader. I am also able to crate dogs.
“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”
About: I have over ten years of pet ownership and care experience. I have owned or cared for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, chickens, snakes, geckos, cattle, pigs, horses etc. I am an animal lover and will give your pets the same love I give to my own! I am currently on my summer break from veterinary school, so my schedule is very flexible. I am available for a wide variety of services. I am extremely attentive and take great pride in the attention to detail and thoroughness that I use in my daily life. I respect homeowner and pet owner rules completely. I will take extra precaution to ensure the safety and health of your animals in my care.
About: I’ve cared for cats of all ages and temperaments for over 15 years. I understand that cats need routine, patience, and respect for their space. I’m comfortable with daily check-ins, feeding, litter box care, playtime, and medications when needed. I take time to learn each cat’s personality and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your cat is social or more independent, I provide attentive care without disrupting their routine.
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.
“Kimberly was fantastic and very attentive (: She was great with the cats and they both seem to love her. Very pleased with this booking and would definitely book again”
“Taylor is amazing! She was incredibly professional and communicative, giving timely updates and regularly sending pictures of our very happy cats. She went above and beyond to accommodate us during a storm-extended vacation and we couldn't have been happier with the care she provided. Part of me doesn't want to give this rave review because I don't want other people to have her booked during our future vacations, but alas, she really deserves it! 10/10, would book Taylor again.”

“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.”
“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!!!”
“That is awesome!!! Thanks for sharing! Looks like they are all getting a long. Casey and son Westin did a great job. Thank you so much! Next time we are in town we will look you up.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities for over 15 years, starting with family and neighbors and continuing through friends and repeat clients. I also volunteer walking dogs at the Humane Society in Superior, where I regularly work with nervous, high-energy, or more challenging dogs. I take a calm, patient approach and adjust to each dog’s needs, earning trust is always my goal. If a dog is difficult, I see it as an opportunity to connect. I truly love dogs, and I already love yours. I have a flexible schedule and work from home most days, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. With about three days’ notice, I can adjust my schedule to accommodate pet care needs. On days I’m in the office or traveling for personal reasons, I communicate clearly in advance to ensure expectations are set and care is consistent. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I have two friendly dogs of my own, and I’m mindful about introductions and routines. If a pet needs a quieter or separate environment, I have family nearby who can care for my dogs as needed. I have a partially fenced yard and use leashes and close supervision for outdoor time. I follow care instructions closely and focus on providing a calm, structured, and safe environment.
“Great rover! We had our dog spend the day at Jamie’s place for the day while we had family over. Jamie was super nice and super thoughtful and accommodating with our dog. Would definitely go with her again in the future!”
“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!”
About: I have owned a dog my entire life. We live in the country with a large (unfenced) yard and acres of woods behind us that the we can walk the dogs on. We also have a large outdoor kennel. My son is 12 and also is great with taking care of dogs. I work from home and my son will be out on summer break soon so they will have plenty of attention. We have a 6-year-old chocolate lab who is great with other dogs and loves to play. We've raised our dogs from the puppy stage, so have experience with puppies as well. I work from home full-time and my son will be on summer break soon. We have a lab that loves to play, so they will have plenty of attention. I have a 6-year-old chocolate lab to play with. We have a large unfenced yard, a large kennel and trails in the woods behind the house to take the dogs on walks. We'd be available for drop-ins in the area as well to feed/let out dogs.
“Junior spent 3 days with Emmily and Dustin and had a blast! We got pictures sent to us throughout the day of Junior! They went on walks and got lots of playtime in their fenced in yard. When he got home he was pooped right out! We will definitely be using Emmily and Dustin again in the future!”
About: Hi there!

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!

I do have experience with senior cats and dogs. We can talk a long walk on nature trails, or we can go for a slow stroll around the neighborhood! I only do gig work, so my schedule can fit around whatever your needs are. If something ever changes, you can always reach out and we'll work something out. For drop ins, I'll stop in and make sure theres no potty mess and if your kitty wants to we can play with whatever toys are available. We'll play for a bit so they're happy and worn out by the time we're done.
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.
“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.”

Communication is my super power so you will always know that your pets are safe and sound! I am also very patient as I am a caregiver for my aging mother.

Friends and family often rely on me for pet sitting because they trust my reliability, responsibility, and genuine love for animals.

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.

I am a public school teacher, so I won’t be available between 8am to 5pm during the work week. I am extremely flexible and can make most accommodations work. I am able to do anything to make your pet feel loved, safe, and comfortable in my care. This will require clear and direct communication about your pets character and habits to ensure your pet is happy and comfortable.

“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!”
“Zane was great! He kept me updated with notes and pictures while he watched our dog and she was exhausted from all the playing when we picked her up. We will definitely be using Zane again!”
“Thank you for your attentive care for my two girls!! This was our first visit and it didn’t take long for the girls to settle in. Great communication and photos.”
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with Reka! She kept me updated with great communication, photos, and regular updates. Reka received so much love and attention from Heather, her kids, and even the neighbors. She had a blast playing with other dogs and was truly treated like a princess. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—highly recommend!”
“Patty is amazing! Tango had an allergic reaction while staying with her and she notified me immediately and she knew exactly what to do for him. Tango loves staying at her house and always comes home happy and calm and ready for a long nap:) Patty is our #1, I never worry about anything when Tango is with her. :)”
“Christina was great with Penny and appreciated it soo much for a quick stop in Duluth. She helped get her to eat which was getting a little touchy on our travels and sent lots of pics (which I love). Penny looked right at home. Thank you and will look for you whenever we get back to Duluth again😁”
“Jamie and her family are great pet sitters! She has watched our dog and our cats! They were very accommodating to all of our pets and even bought extra toys and snacks for them to help them feel more comfortable in a new space! We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“We boarded our dog Astro with Kaylee for two weeks in October. She took excellent care of him, and he clearly was fond of Kaylee and David, and felt very comfortable staying with them. Kaylee texted me photos of Astro daily, which made my separation anxiety a little easier to handle! I would highly recommend Kaylee as a caretaker for your pooch.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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 :)”
“Excellent first time experience. Very caring and loving. Sent lots of pictures. Went above and beyond to make sure our doggy was well taken care of. He was tired after all the play time and slept like a log 😄 will definitely board again. Highly recommended!”
“My two boys had a great time and were well looked after by Casey. I’m so impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. They seemed right at home in his house and fenced yard. Will definitely visit 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!!”
About: Call me Kim, I have loved and cared for many animals starting at a young age, while growing up in the country. I have also had pets my whole life including; dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, chickens, turkeys, turtles, pet rats, fish, pigs, cows and horses. Currently I have 2 cats, one is a 14 year old senior who is hard of hearing. He is social and gets along well with everyone. My younger cat, Timba is 4 years old and is the ‘typical’ orange cat, always ready to play, be in everybody’s business and wants to be every dogs best buddy. Currently, I am taking online classes, making my schedule flexible and open to help out other pet parents. I have grown up with a background in caring for farm animals and have experience caring for many types of animals including; horses, cows, turkeys, goats, pigs, snakes, rabbits and chickens. Please feel free to ask me any questions you might have regarding my experience. I really look forward to meeting and spending time with your fur baby(s). Thanks for taking the time to check out my profile! My senior cat is respectful and very friendly being open to any pet guests that come to visit. My younger kitty Timba loves to play, and enjoys lots of attention. I do treat any fur babies in my care as I would *my own*, so we go for rides in the car, walks, trips to the beach, the pet store for a Birthday or special treat, the local dog parks & occasional trips out to the country. I am currently doing online classes with a few afternoon appointments so your fur baby would have my full attention for fun play time, frequent bathroom breaks and leisurely walks.
