“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.”
“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!”
“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. :)”
“This was my first time boarding my almost 1 year old Dachshund Charlie and first time using Rover. What a great experience it went way better than I was wanting and will definitely be using Kelli and Shane for all my boarding needs. They were great with Charlie and made him part of their family. They are very responsive and kept me updated with photos and video made me so much more relaxed and left me no reason to worry. Charlie had the time of his life doing all the things he loves to do. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my spoiled little buddy he will definitely be spending more time with you in the future.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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😁”
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.
“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: I've worked with a foster care program with many puppies and older dogs. Grew up with three dogs in a dog-loving family, familiar with many breeds and needs! I just graduated from the College of Saint Scholastica. I am available after 4 on weekdays and all day on weekends! My schedule for potty breaks is very flexible! I am very attentive to dogs, and I am able to adjust to their needs (puppies, seniors, disabilities). I also don't mind doing small house-sitting chores, such as dishes and laundry.
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.
“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!”
“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!!”

“Love!!! Wing took so many (funny) pics of my girl and kept me updated on every visit. I would 1000% recommend her to a friend. She is a doll herself and took good care of my kitty. Thank you Wing!! :)”
“Jayden did such a good job dropping in to check on my kitty! She had such great communication throughout the entire process, and did so well with handling my rambunctious boy! Jayden also demonstrated flexibility when I had to change around some times to meet her, which is much appreciated! I would recommend Jayden to anyone looking for a sitter for their pet(s).”
About: I’ve had family pets my whole life and I worked at a humane society for four years with both cats and dogs. Over the years I’ve pet sit for quite a few families. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time hangout with your doggos. I’m usually working only twice a week with the weekends off so I have lots of free time during the week to check up on the animals. Currently I’m not able to board any animals at my house because I’m renting. When I pet sit for people I love to spend time with the animals, playing with them and giving them lots of pets and attention. Basically treat them like my puppies which are back at my parents house.
“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 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!!”
“Nick was great with our cats!! He was very responsive to messages and when our automatic feeder was having problems he volunteered to stop by and see if he could fix the issue. He sent pictures every day and a report on how the cats were doing so I did not worry about them at all.”
“Misha did an amazing job with our kitty! Our goose has medication he has to take and she always make sure he took it and was so kind with him! I wouldn’t trust any other person to watch our cat.”
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.
“Danielle was wonderful to work with, always responded quickly to messages, sent some nice photos, and left everything in good order. She was gentle and seemed very comfortable with our cats and dog. For other reasons we wound up taking the dog with us, but I would certainly trust Danielle with our dog, too, in the future.”

“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.”

About: I live along the shore of Lake Superior, about 10 minutes north of Duluth. I grew up with cats and dogs around all the time. More recently I lived with a roommate who had 3 dogs (small and medium-sized) who I cared for during the day all week. Love animals of all kinds. I try to walk 4-5 miles each day on my quiet dirt road and also along Lake Superior right by my house. I work remotely and am basically always home, so your pet will have their needs taken care of! I work remotely and have no set work schedule, so I'm very flexible. I try to get outside and walk every day. I also have trails by my house to walk on. I have no pets and I live by myself. I have a medium-sized yard, but plan on keeping any dogs or cats on leashes when we go outside. I have a small-ish house but plenty of room for pets - they could have their own bedroom if they want!
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!! ?”
“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!!!”
“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!”
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!
“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: Hi! I’m Molly — a Duluth local, mom of two, and lifelong dog lover. I know how important it is to feel completely at ease when someone else is caring for your pet. They’re family. I treat every dog in my care the same way I treat my own — with patience, structure, warmth, and lots of attention. I work primarily from home, which means your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’m used to managing routines (kids + life 😅), so feeding schedules, medication timing, crate routines, and special instructions are absolutely welcome. I also have a 4- and 7-year-old who absolutely love dogs and have grown up around them. They are gentle, respectful, and understand boundaries — but because of that, I do require that any dog in my care is comfortable around children. If your pup enjoys being part of a family environment with lots of love (and the occasional extra belly rub from small humans), they’ll feel right at home here. We spend a lot of time outside — neighborhood walks, time in the yard, and enjoying all the fresh air Duluth has to offer. If your dog loves movement and stimulation, they’ll fit right in. If they’re more of a couch-and-cuddles type, I’m equally happy to match their pace. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work primarily from home, so I’m able to provide consistent supervision, potty breaks, walks, and attention throughout the day — not just mornings and evenings. Our family already has a rhythm built around school drop-offs, outdoor time, and evenings at home, which makes it easy to incorporate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and quiet rest periods. I’m very comfortable following a dog’s existing routine so they feel secure and settled while you’re away. Weekends are typically slower and home-centered for us, which allows for even more engagement, walks, and time outside. Your dog wouldn’t be an “add-on” to our week — they’d be part of our normal flow. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on helping them feel safe and settled as quickly as possible. I follow their usual feeding schedule, potty routine, crate preferences, and any specific instructions you provide. I keep the environment calm, clean, and supervised, with plenty of outdoor time and play balanced with rest. Because I have children, safety is always a top priority. Dogs are never left unattended with kids, and I only accept pets who are comfortable in a family environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m equally respectful and detail-oriented. I stick closely to your established routine so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I’m mindful of your space, keep things tidy, and provide consistent updates with photos so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a home just as you left it.
“We have loved dropping Tank off with Anthony for doggy day care! Whenever we pick him up he is happy and tired from playing with Anthony’s dog, Bear. Definitely recommend anyone use Anthony!”
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! :)
“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.”
About: Hi, I'm Kelly! I love dogs and have experience dog sitting many different ages and breeds. I absolutely love taking dogs on long walks or hikes, playing at the park with others, or just cuddling up on the couch. I'm responsible, friendly, communicative, and honest. I know how much you'll miss your pet while you're away, so I always send LOTS of pictures to keep you in the loop on everything that is happening. I look forward to meeting you and your dog soon, and always provide my clients with a list of references before booking! Please let me know if you have any questions for me. I am fully vaccinated and boosted. I'm currently working from home full-time, so your dog won't be home alone much at all while you're away. He/she will likely participate in some of my Zoom meetings :-) I care for your pets as if they were my own, because that's what I want for my own dog when I'm away. When you get home, your dog will be happy & tired!

About: Every dog or cat has their own personality, quirks, and needs. I've had pets my entire life and people say I'm a dog whisperer. I'm not really...I just understand what motivates them (treats, love, or praise) and I work with that. My dogs and cats were always like family, and I treat other people's pets like family. I worry about mine when I'm away, so I want people to know that I understand those feelings and that their pets are in good hands. I've also had rodents and reptiles, so I can watch after them too. I do this work simply because I love animals and exercise, so this is perfect. Socialization with new people and reinforcing training material (like basic commands) is mentally beneficial for pets too. Lastly, I'm a retired government employee, so I've had quite the variety of background checks - you will find me honest, reliable and committed. Since I am retired, I can accept drop-in's or walks throughout out the day. Last minute or same day requests are a real possibility depending on when you contact me. I'm quite flexible. I'm not boarding at this time. As far as caring for your pet in your home, I will follow your instructions implicitly. When I have others take care of my own dog and they don't follow my requests, it drives me nuts!
About: I have taken care of my family dogs and cats since I was young. I got my own dog at 17, raising him as a new puppy. I also cared for my lab as he was getting ready to pass. I love all dogs, big or small. I have 2 cats with my boyfriend and love laser games and playing with cat toys. I am a former college athlete and love being active, especially with animals. I am going to be starting medical school at the University of Minnesota this fall. I love long walks and playing with animals. I have a flexible schedule to stop in and care for your sweet pets. I have grown up with small, medium, and large dogs and have learned how to handle and walk all of the appropriately. I have 2 cats now, that love playing with lasers and are easy to handle. I have handled cats when they are uncomfortable and know how to avoid injury and clear the cat from a stressful situation. I will do everything to protect your pets and provide them with quality care.
About: I've been taking care of pets for 20 years, starting as a 10-year-old taking care of neighbor's dogs and cats. I've raised more than a dozen dogs and cats in my life, mostly rescue animals. My partner and I currently have two dogs, Gus and Cricket, as well as a cat, Jabo. I love and care for them dearly, just as I will do for your pet(s)! I work seasonally as a landscaper, so I mostly care for pets during the colder months. I have lots of flexible time to meet your pet care needs as part of a regular or one-off schedule. I am experienced at meeting new pets and can care for your pet as you need. Whether you have a fenced yard or need leashed walks, I'll care for your pet while ensuring they remain safe. As a pet owner, I know how important it is to trust a pet sitter and I'm happy to answer any questions you have about pet care!
“Liz was wonderful with Milo a shy and difficult dog to make friends with. Milo was at ease and enjoyed his walks with Liz. Thank you very much Liz. Looking forward to working with you again.”
“Lori is the absolute best. My dog gets so excited to see her for walks and comes home tired and happy. She goes above and beyond and has been available on short notice several times. 10/10 would recommend Lori for anyone’s dog walking needs!”
“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 a love for all animals and spend my free time with my dogs and horses. We are always outside going for walks or trails rides my pups love to tag along. I work shift work so my job gives me plenty of time off. During the week and also a full week off every month so I get to be with my pups all the time. I allow all pets in my home and will also travel to your home and let your animals out during the day while you’re at work.
“Lauren has been fantastic! Like many pup owners, my dog is like a child to me. Lauren has great communication skills (a must) and goes that extra mile each visit. So glad we found her to help brighten Roxie's day!”
About: I've had pets most of my life. I have experience taking care of dogs from puppies to senior. I can give medication if needed. If you would like us to work on training while your pup is here we can do that too. I am taking a break with boarding. If you are interested in drop in care I am available for that service. I am a stay at home mom and my husband is working from home so someone is here most of the time. We are available to watch your dog any day of the week. I have a fenced in yard as well as plenty of other space to run, your pup won't be lonely as we have 2 dogs and 2 cats to keep them company. If your pup needs more exercise he is more than welcome on our daily walks.
About: I grew up with dogs in the house and they have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was often left alone with my pets and my family relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and play with them. I have also taken care of friends’ and neighbors’ pets while they were on vacation. Some of these duties included overnight visits, daily check ins, and transport to daycare. I will be leaving the country on June 7th to study abroad and will be returning August 3rd. I am looking to work before then and will be able to pick jobs back up once I get back. My schedule is usually pretty open as I do not work another job during the school year! I’m happy to visit your pups day of if I am available! I live right next to Leif Erickson park so I can easily take your dog for walks in a beautiful, outdoor environment. My house is very dog friendly and open so your pup can move around as needed. I am comfortable kenneling your dog if needed and will spend as much time as possible getting to know them and gaining their trust.
About: I have had multiple dogs ever since I was born and love providing care for them. My grandparents also owned a dog kennel so have always been aware of proper exercise, care, and support for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Lastly, I am in school to become a nurse so caring for others is a passion of mine! I currently am a college student moving back to Duluth over the summer and work two jobs which allow me the availability to pick and chose the days I work so if enough in advance I am very available to fit pet care into my weekly routine any day of the week! I have a half fenced in yard at my house but also very aware of the area and neighbors surrounding. I have easy access to hook up a long leash for the dog to play while I supervise as well as, no other dogs live with me.
“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.”
About: I have had all types of animals since the age of 4: Dogs, rescue dogs, cats, bunnies, ducks, chickens, birds, horses, etc. It’s safe to say I have a ton of experience, knowledge, and confidence when it comes to caring for your furry friend! 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.
About: Hey there! My name is Gracie, and I have been around pets all my life. I am vigilant when it comes to communication and care for your fur babies! I love all types of animals (spiders excluded!) and will make sure your pets get plenty of snuggles and love while you are away! I am comfortable in most settings, and can handle multiple pets at a time. As a college student I am very flexible with hours, can do mostly weeknights and weekends. I also have time in between some day classes! I have crate trained my dogs, while also letting them snuggle up on bed with me. I am very comfortable around all dog types, and have dealt with both sick and healthy dogs. You can trust they will be in good and caring hands!

“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😁”
“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.
“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!”
“Rachel and her family always go above and beyond to not only make sure that my pup is well taken care of, but sends many pictures and updates for our peace of mind! Many walks, hikes, time outside just hanging out with fellow dog friends, and plenty of pets and love were evident! Thank you again!!”
“Very attentive and responsive. Sent pics of my pup all weekend and made sure I was updated with everything going on. Picking up and dropping off was a breeze! I’d highly recommend Kate :)”
“Lori was the absolute BEST with our Dog, Yukon! It was our first time leaving him overnight with a new person and she exceeded our expectations...And completely put us (and Yukon!) at ease. He came home tired and happy and we could tell it was a great experience from the updates and pictures she sent during his stay. We will be booking with Lori again and again!”
“Lisa was great! She made sure to keep us posted on how Peppa was doing at her home and with her other pups (all good!) and sent a few photos as well. Our girl only stayed over 1 night but she seemed to be well taken care of and happy upon her return!”
About: I'm Ashley. 29 years old. I have 7-8 years of experience sitting dogs. I give them my full attention at all times. I will play with them, and walk them. I will make sure they are fed, and hydrated! I'm a big animal lover! Most dogs that I've sat in the past loved me, and my attention I gave them. They will always leave happy :) I will sometimes spoil them if they're good. I'll go to the store, and pick up some toys or treats. My kids get along very well with animals. They will always play with them as well. My kids have never got injured by any dog or cat. I'm hoping you'll choose me to sit your animal!:)) I'm a stay at home so I have all day to care, and play with them! If my kids don't need me first then they have my full attention. I make sure to get them comfortable first. I fill up their dish bowls right away. They'll either come to me to sit or if they're a smaller dog I'll pick up, and sit with. They always show they are content by licking my hand, and following me around.
About: I grew up with cats and was drawn to dogs wherever possible! Even now I can’t help but stop and pet all the puppies!! As an adult I have had the opportunity to welcome 4 dogs and 4 cats into our home through the years. I have no problem administering medication or cleaning up messes. I have an alternating schedule and have seven days off in a row every other week. I would generally only plan care on the times that I have off unless your animal is one that can be left in the house 12 hours a day when I do have to work. I would like to get out walking more and the added motivation of a doggo would be great! I have a fenced in yard and a dog that loves doing zoomies all day long but also chilling in the sunshine. Pets are treated with love and care.
