“Kelli and her family are amazing with our Golden Retriever! The only downside is how sad he is to leave their house! (And that's not really much of a downside, of course, because we never wonder if he's okay while we're away.) He LOVES his time with Kelli and Shane.”
“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!”
“Sky is so going to miss you after we move for retirement. You always take great care of her and we appreciate you so much!! Anyone that needs a sitter for their dog We 💯 recommend Esther!!”
“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.”
“Another wonderful experience having Peter and Barb watch our two pups. We are so lucky to have found them and can leave town with total peace of mind that our girls are in excellent hands! They always come back tired and happy!”
“Joan took such good care of our pup Evie. You can tell that she truly loves animals. Our dog is wary of strangers and new places, but Joan made her feel comfortable right away. Evie enjoyed multiple hikes outside, play time and cuddles from Joan. We received updates throughout the day as well. We highly recommend Camp Joan!”
“Our dogs enjoyed their overnight stay with Christina. She was able to handle with care and love our senior dog with health issues, another active senior dog and a puppy. She was communicative through out their stay with message and photos. We highly recommend Christina.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Delilah has such a wonderful time when she stays with Rachel and her family! Delilah gets lots of attention and exercise and I couldn't be more happy with the care that she receives! We are very lucky to have found such a wonderful Rover sitter!”
“Lisa took great care of our dog while we were away. She was always prompt with communication and also kept us updated with pics and videos (but not an overwhelming amount of them). Opie returned home worn out from playing with His new furry pals. He also returned mysteriously smelling like a newly-groomed dog....:) We will definitely look to Lisa for future care for our pooch while we are away.”
“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.”
“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!”

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

About: I have 6 years in animal care 2 years of that is working animal control for the city! I love caring for other pets and animals. I treat them as my own ! i work Thursday- Monday working animal control and then I come home and care of my personal pets. I’m constantly surrounding myself with animals as they are a big part of my life! I love other animals and treat them all as if they were mine. I have two fantastic dogs, a lab and a German Shepard lab! They are very nice dogs and love hanging out with other pets. I don’t typically do overnights as I work quite a bit. But I’d love to come walk your dog, and drop in for potty time!
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’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: 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!
“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.”
“Amber took care of my two cats, two budgee parakeet birds and our corn snake through the duration of a week by dropping into my house to feed and care for them all, twice daily. Absolutely no complaints, she rocked it, took great care of every baby under the roof and followed instructions to the exact detail! She happily accommodated our booking request over Christmas time, which says alot, but also did so with only a few weeks notice so bravo to her for her flexibility as well.”
About: I've been around cats my whole life and have cared for friends’ and neighbors’ cats over the years. My family even tried fostering cats for a while but we always ended up adopting them because we got too attached! I currently have two cats back home and live with one now, thanks to my roommates. As a lifelong cat lover, I’d love the chance to spend more time with cats while also earning a bit of extra money.

“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!”
“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!!!”
“We did a meet and greet with Laura awhile ago and finally booked a day daycare for Boomer and Buddy. She followed up with pictures thru out the day. Looked like her kids had a good time with them. I know that Buddy is very active and will keep them on their toes. We have already booked a 3 day stay and appreciate Laura and her family giving our pups the love and care they need!”
“Peter was super responsive, flexible, helpful and sent lots of photos and videos. He has a nice deck where the dogs get to play. When River was frightened of the 4th of July fireworks, he had her in his lap and soothed her. Couldn't ask for more!”
“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: Care experience with all ages of dogs with emotional and some medical needs. Experience with potty training, aggression, and separation anxiety. Gentle care is always provided. My husband and I have lived our whole lives surrounded by pets and animals so we have experience and lots of love to give! I currently work a few very long shifts a week instead of daily leaving my home so I will only accept pets the days I am at home and available to give pets the attention they deserve. We have a large yard that is unfenced. We have one pup ourselves and two kitties. Our typical routine for our pet is to spend lots of time outdoors and on walks, to allow free feeding and sleeping in our bedroom on a pet bed on the floor at night, and crate training for when we are away from home. We can accommodate adjustments to this routine for your pet when they are at our home to accommodate feeding and kenneling schedules.
“My dog had a fantastic time at Jamie's! He got to play with lots of toys, go for walks, and lounge around with new human buds. He went back a second day and was excited to see everybody, which is always a great sign! Jamie & her husband have a knack for dogs and are clearly comfortable with their quirks. I absolutely recommend them for all your dog care needs!!”
About: I'm looking forward to providing quality loving care for YOUR beloved canine! I am a small animal Certified Veterinary Technician with over 15 years of clinical experience. I have expanded my services to include dog sitting due to an increased demand for compassionate caregivers with medical knowledge. Many people are reluctant to leave their dogs at boarding kennels while traveling, particularly senior dogs and those with medical problems. Many dogs also experience high levels of stress while boarding. I provide an alternative to the traditional kennel experience by providing care out of my own home. Dogs that stay as guests in my home are provided with lots of individual attention. They are not locked in kennels, instead having free access to my home and yard. As an experienced Veterinary Technician I am also capable of caring for dogs with a broad range of medical issues, including Diabetes, Cushing's, Addison's, Epilepsy, Cancer, animals recovering from recent surgery, and more. Should your pet require emergency medical care, I am trained in animal CPR and live 5 minutes away from the clinic at which I practice. I care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. There are however, a few prerequisites to ensure that your dog will have a safe, happy stay in my care. Firstly, I an unable to care for dogs that have a history of aggression toward other dogs, or toward human adults or children. No exceptions. Secondly, dogs in my care must be current on Rabies and Distemper vaccinations. I also require proof of a negative fecal sample performed within 1 year prior to their stay if regular dewormings are done (i.e. year-round HeartGard). Dogs that are not regularly dewormed must have a fecal check done within 1 month prior to their stay, or perform a deworming treatment within 1 month prior. Puppies must be fully house trained. Rachel B. Certified Veterinary Technician I treat pets like family! Dogs who stay in my home are given lots of playtime and attention. I try to keep routines similar to what they are used to at their own home. Dogs are fed separately for safety but otherwise have free range of the home. I am an experienced animal nurse and well equipped to handle an emergency if one should arise!
“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!”
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.

“I was in a real pinch and needed somewhere to bring my dog Ruger on extremely short notice and Aneesa was able to help and was so kind about it! Ruger was so well taken care of! She sent me pictures and updates and helped to make Ruger feel right at home! I can’t say thank you enough!! Would absolutely bring Ruger there again for care!”
“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.”
“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: Living on a farm, I have a lot of experience interacting with animals of all kinds. Running a farm of any size is not a one person job so my family is a big part of my life. I can’t imagine a better place to live doing something I love. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Whether it is feeding and watering our chickens and cows or grooming our dogs, I work hard to ensure our animals are cared for. I am a stay at home mom so your four legged friends will rarely be left alone. I work hard to follow any instructions owners may give me. Additionally, I make sure all animals in our care have access to food, water, and love. I also like to take a few pictures of what we are up to send them to people so they know their pet is getting loved and cared for.
“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.”
About: I've been taking care of pets for 6 years and have 4 pets currently. Bluto (olde english bulldogge), Ruby (rottweiler), Tibby (siamese), and Molly (longhair). 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: Hi! I am a small business owner with pets of my own. I love to be inside or outside and have a very flexible schedule. 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. I work for myself, so my schedule tends to be very flexible and variable. I also set my own schedule and thus can flow with changes as needed. Each pet has different needs, each pet owner has different expectations. I am very ready to listen and deliver what you need for your pets.
“It is great having Samantha! She communicates well and sends photos. She is easy to work with and responds back in a timely manner. She is equally happy to help with my dog Finn. She is a great addition to my team helping with Finn.”

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 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.

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: 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’ve always had dogs in my home. A few kittys too. Everyone has relied on me to help with their fur babies throughout my life. I’m a stay at home mom of a 5 year old. We have 3 dogs a large yard plus. I’m up early with my kiddo and doggos we walk after breakfast about .5 miles. We play in the yard/property. We hang by the garden. We do training and baths/grooming as needed. We being me my kiddo and my doggos. My pup sleeps in a crate. We feed twice a day, have water inside and out. Walks are on a leash. My adult dog sleeps in bed with me. If your pup stays the night they will need a crate or ok on the couch. We do have space for crates and a guest room if they need personal space.
About: I have had dogs in my family for as long as I can remember - mutts, goldens, even a very talkative chihuahua - I loved them all! Friends call me to watch their pets often. I am comfortable with every breed of dog, and cats tend to snuggle me or judge me - I’m fine with either! I am currently working as a virtual assistant, with travel to help some clients on-site. I can easily make walks, feedings, day-care and over night stays fit into this schedule. I will take my lead from you and your pet. If it’s active and likes walks or to play, I am happy to do that. I always make sure that there is water in the bowl, and that feeding times are followed.
About: I’ve been pet sitting on and off since I was about 12 years old, helping out friends and neighbors. I come from a family of dog lovers and have two dogs and two cats of my own back home. I'm currently a graduate student at the University of Minnesota Duluth and really miss spending time with my own pets. Pet sitting is the perfect way for me to enjoy some quality time with dogs and cats while also earning a bit of extra income. I'm typically busy Tuesday through Thursday, but I have availability on Mondays, Fridays, and Sundays, with flexible scheduling on those days I do a great job reminding dogs just how loved they are usually by telling them they're a good dog every few seconds! I also understand how important safety is, and I make it a priority to regularly check in on them to ensure they’re safe and comfortable. Of course, I also give them plenty of pets and attention whenever I can.

“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!”
“Sky is so going to miss you after we move for retirement. You always take great care of her and we appreciate you so much!! Anyone that needs a sitter for their dog We 💯 recommend Esther!!”
“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.”
“Another wonderful experience having Peter and Barb watch our two pups. We are so lucky to have found them and can leave town with total peace of mind that our girls are in excellent hands! They always come back tired and happy!”
“Joan took such good care of our pup Evie. You can tell that she truly loves animals. Our dog is wary of strangers and new places, but Joan made her feel comfortable right away. Evie enjoyed multiple hikes outside, play time and cuddles from Joan. We received updates throughout the day as well. We highly recommend Camp Joan!”
“Our dogs enjoyed their overnight stay with Christina. She was able to handle with care and love our senior dog with health issues, another active senior dog and a puppy. She was communicative through out their stay with message and photos. We highly recommend Christina.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Delilah has such a wonderful time when she stays with Rachel and her family! Delilah gets lots of attention and exercise and I couldn't be more happy with the care that she receives! We are very lucky to have found such a wonderful Rover sitter!”
“Lisa took great care of our dog while we were away. She was always prompt with communication and also kept us updated with pics and videos (but not an overwhelming amount of them). Opie returned home worn out from playing with His new furry pals. He also returned mysteriously smelling like a newly-groomed dog....:) We will definitely look to Lisa for future care for our pooch while we are away.”
“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.”
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.
“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!”
“Kate was so awesome to work with, her layout and location was perfect for what we needed. She sent me great pics of my happy dog that made me feel comfortable about leaving him. It's my first time using Rover so I didn't know about the tip feature 😬 so sorry about that ugh. I would use Kate again if she would have my dog again and this time the tip I now know about would be included!!”
