“Molly had a wonderful week with Laura and family. We received many updates and pictures throughout the week. Laura and family made us feel at ease leaving molly for the week and we could tell Molly had a great time with constant love and attention while we were away.”
“Great communication, sent lots of updates and pictures. My pup is an only child and loved being able to play with other dogs that were there for doggie day care etc. Peter was wonderful. Would definitely book again!”
“Jamie was above and beyond an excellent sitter for our Heidi while we were on vacation! While our dog is a very sweet girl, she has some things going on as a puppy that can make her a handful - Jamie cared for her with grace and ease! Great communication and easy to book with. The only downside: we can’t bring her back to Rochester with us to use as our regular sitter!!”
“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 very calm and kind and has the perfect set up for dogs at her establishment; lots of room in the yard and a secured fenced area. She is excellent at communicating and accommodating. We really appreciate the times she’s watched Marlin and will continue to use her services!”
“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.”
“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!”
“My small dog did nicely among 3 or 4 large dogs. He stayed over one night and seemed his usual happy self when we picked him up. I feel confident and would take him back there in the future.”
“Kylee and David are excellent pet sitters! I don't have to worry at all when our dog is with them. He gets to go on adventures and lots of walks. He comes home happy and sleepy! :)”
“Christina is INCREDIBLE, I have a sensitive older Husky, and staying with Christina was like summer camp for him. She frequently send photos and videos and is very responsive and accommodating. 11/10 experience!”
“As always, Jai had a fantastic time with Amber. She will take care of your pet like her own. You can relax and go on your vacation and even forget you have a pet (like I did 🙈)”
“Kate did a great job keeping me updated with pictures and even a video. I loved seeing how worn out my baby girl was at the end of her stay. I'll definitely be reaching out to Kate again!”
“Carley and Ferris took great care of my dog Fawn over a holiday weekend. They have a great setup and treated her like one of their own. Carley was very responsive and kept me up to date. I would definitely recommend them!”
“He did a wonderful job of caring for my spoiled dog! He was great with photos and communication showing that my girl was well cared for, she was even cuddled up on the couch in blankies which is her favorite. He also went out for a few walks in the below zero weather to make sure she did her business, because she isn't used to a fenced in yard. My Sadie was there with another beagle and he made sure that my dog who is free fed, could get time to eat, where the other dog was on a scheduled feeding time. Hoping I can use him again in the future.”
“Rachel and her family were amazing 😍. Our large puppers love being on the farm, and soaked up all the love and attention! We already have recommended her to our family. Rachel will be our first call when we need boarding again!”
“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.”
About: I am currently working towards a bachelor's in Animal Behavior and Welfare, as interacting with animals and learning about them is a passion of mine. I greatly enjoy learning to care for them and then doing so. The degree im working towards is focused on the care of animals while educating the public about them. I grew up with a dog and have had many small animals as pets throughout my life, rodents, fish, insects, arachnids, frogs, etc. Currently I have 3 reptiles and two cats. Willow-Wisp, and Boiled-Egg are my cats. My corn snake is Copper, Blue Tongued Skink is Little-Dude, and Tripod is my leopard gecko. Both Boiled-Egg and Tripod have medical conditions that require at home management and care which has given me some skills in caring for animals with disabilities. They are not the only animal I have history caring for with medical issues either. Many of my experience with pets has been rescue pets, and I have had plenty practice and patience regarding them and behaviors post trauma. I am more than willing to learn about your pets needs and help medical or otherwise. I am currently focusing on college and have plenty of time to help care for your animals. The only day I will be unavailable is Sunday. I have a fenced in yard and half the house closes off by doors so the cats will not interact with your animals unless you are comfortable with it. Depending on your animals preferance I can ensure that I spend time with them or give them the space to feel comfortable and settle in. Any and all expectations set regarding their care and what food, toys, or treats they are allowed will of course be followed. I may have treats of my own I could offer them but will only do so with your approval and in amounts you allow. I do haveextra food and water bowels if you would prefer to use those rather than bringing your own. In the case something awful were to happen I have experience bringing animals to emergency.

From early contact , she was quick to respond and always thoughtful. She came over before we left. I could tell right away that she is level-headed and has common sense, which told me she would be able to handle any issues if they arose. She also obviously loves cats. She was patient and persistent with our scaredy cat, finally winning her over. She followed all of our care instructions to a T. I 100% trust Jayden to care for our cat in future.”

“We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Rachel and her wonderful family! They looked after Jack while we attended a wedding, and from the moment we met them, we knew he was in the best hands. Rachel was incredibly kind, caring, and thoughtful, and her whole family made Jack feel completely at home. It was so reassuring knowing he was being loved and cared for as if he were part of their own family. We could relax and enjoy the wedding knowing he was so happy and comfortable. Jack was so well looked after, and it’s clear Rachel genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she watches. We are beyond grateful for everything she did and would recommend her to absolutely anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and amazing with dogs. Thank you again, Rachel!”

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!
“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!”
“Madisen did an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING job with my puppy, Rosie. I could NOT be happier! I felt comfortable with leaving my puppy with Madisen, especially since I know I have a bit of an anxious puppy. But Madisen handled Rosie really well, and I could tell she was happily exercised when I took her home. I cannot recommend Madisen enough, and I will definitely trust Madisen to take care of Rosie again! ♥️”
About: I have two cats of my own. My tuxedo lu has been around since I was super little, I’ve carried her with me everywhere i go! My fluffy boy moo was a rescue a few years ago, he’s a big sweetie. I have a dog named ollie that I share custody of with my mom. he comes with me on all of the road trips and hikes. I’ve sat for family members and people in my area since I was 15. I also have reptile experience caring for chameleons and snakes. I’m here for any pet! Taking care of animals is my passion ☺️ I do photography full time so my schedule stays pretty flexible. I’m typically available on holidays! I don’t mind to travel a little for your furry friends, so don’t worry too much if you’re far away! I love spending most of my time with my cats. No matter what I’m doing—they’re at my feet or on my lap. My cat moo comes on hikes with me! I enjoy getting fur babies out of the house into the world. I have a dog cover on the back seats in my car. I will always reach out to ask before traveling with your dog, this is not necessary, just an offer! :)
About: i’ve always had such a soft spot in my heart for animals, even scaly friends too! I myself have had animals ranging from cats and dogs, to snakes to fish and rats.. and as you can imagine, they all require some very different needs! i ALWAYS make it my goal to care for each individual animal the best i can, after all they deserve it! I’d love to make taking care of your furry friends my main priority! I have open availability during the week and will be home all day with them, wether it’s your home or mine (: I do have 2 dogs of my own, so unfortunately i do not have availability for overnight stays. I always make it my biggest goal to let animals know how loved they are! I am willing to accommodate to you and your pets needs to ensure the safety of me, you, and your pet! My 2 dogs have me wrapped around their pinkies (toes? paws? 🤷🏻♀️) and i’d do anything to make sure they’re happy. I treat every dog in my care like my very own. I understand leaving your dog in the care of somebody else can be nerve-racking, especially if it’s in somebody else’s home. You worry about wether or not your sitter is going to leave them alone during the day, or if your sitter lives on a busy street, or if there’s a chance your dog gets loose.. i understand all of these! A home visit is a must and i’d be happy to show you where your furry friend will be staying, and what a typical day looks like!
“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!! ?”
“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!”
“Jennifer quickly responded to our last-minute request to care for our dog while we attended a nearby wedding. We appreciated the photos and updates, which put our minds at ease knowing our dog was in good hands!”
About: I have over 7 years experience supervising at dog daycares and boarding facilities in Orlando, the Twin Cities and Duluth. I was also an Animal Care Officer for the city of Minneapolis where I took care of pets of all kinds. I would love to spend time with your dog(s)!

We have a fenced yard along with two friendly dogs, a 2 year old Golden Retriever and a Heinz 57, 25lb bundle of joy. We also have a family cat who isn’t bothered by dogs.

“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 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: I've been around pets my whole life from growing up with 3 dogs to adopting a sweet black lab Diamond as a young adult. Diamond passed away in April of 2023 and I've since got my dog fix dog boarding for friends, family and Rover clients doing one of my all-time favorite things - running, adventures and play with dogs! I pride myself in sending lots of photos and updates with consistency, taking time for a daily walk and run (if they're up for it!), and providing a safe space (no other animals or kids living in the house, fenced in yard, dog-proof everything, etc...). I have a flexible schedule, I try to run daily anyways, and my house is dog-proofed with a fence. I'm ready to provide a safe, comfortable and fun space for your pet to get quality care and exercise. I live in East Hillside Duluth with great access to paved and off-road walking/running routes. My house has a fenced in yard and I have cultivated a pet-proof home over the years. I am a strict on-leash walker/runner.

About: I've been taking care of family and friends pets for nearly a decade. I love spending time and getting to know each individual animal and what makes them unique. I would love to treat your pet like my own. https://www.rover.com/sit/fial23278 I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of spare time to spend with your pet! I normally only work a couple hours Tuesday afternoons and Saturday mornings. I love long walks or time in parks as well as quiet time at home for whatever suits your pet best! I'm more than happy to do whatever I can to make your furry friend as happy as possible.
About: I simply adore animals! I will provide loving, playful, patient, high quality care that will leave your fur babies begging for more! I am able to administer medications and general care as specified. I also offer nail/claw trims for dogs and cats for $20. Just check the bathing/grooming box. I prioritize play, so even drop ins will get plenty of entertainment! Supervised puzzle feeds, or playing with favorite toys, or whatever pops up in the moment. Pup-led play is usually the most fun! My schedule is fairly open most of the time, but I am going to be starting trade school to become a barefoot specialist for equines sometime in 2026. I need a flexible work schedule so I can trim my case study horses, and the horses I already trim for a friend. - REGARDING OVERNIGHT STAYS! My rates are for ONE 12 hr overnight visit. If you need me for consecutive nights with drop ins during the day, my rates increase to cover each drop in. Walks, nail trims, daily brushing are also an additional cost. These additional charges will be discounted, not my full rate. Let's discuss it 😃 My kitties and I enjoy a peaceful life out in the country. We're new to it, and it's not our house, so I am not currently offering boarding or doggy daycare. I am incredibly respectful of others' spaces. I follow the 'leave no trace' hiking guideline into clients' homes! I respect privacy and will never invite strangers in or take photos for any other reason than to update you, the owner.

“Molly had a wonderful week with Laura and family. We received many updates and pictures throughout the week. Laura and family made us feel at ease leaving molly for the week and we could tell Molly had a great time with constant love and attention while we were away.”
“Great communication, sent lots of updates and pictures. My pup is an only child and loved being able to play with other dogs that were there for doggie day care etc. Peter was wonderful. Would definitely book again!”
“Jamie was above and beyond an excellent sitter for our Heidi while we were on vacation! While our dog is a very sweet girl, she has some things going on as a puppy that can make her a handful - Jamie cared for her with grace and ease! Great communication and easy to book with. The only downside: we can’t bring her back to Rochester with us to use as our regular sitter!!”
“Patty is very calm and kind and has the perfect set up for dogs at her establishment; lots of room in the yard and a secured fenced area. She is excellent at communicating and accommodating. We really appreciate the times she’s watched Marlin and will continue to use her services!”
“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!”
“My small dog did nicely among 3 or 4 large dogs. He stayed over one night and seemed his usual happy self when we picked him up. I feel confident and would take him back there in the future.”
“Kylee and David are excellent pet sitters! I don't have to worry at all when our dog is with them. He gets to go on adventures and lots of walks. He comes home happy and sleepy! :)”
“Christina is INCREDIBLE, I have a sensitive older Husky, and staying with Christina was like summer camp for him. She frequently send photos and videos and is very responsive and accommodating. 11/10 experience!”
“As always, Jai had a fantastic time with Amber. She will take care of your pet like her own. You can relax and go on your vacation and even forget you have a pet (like I did 🙈)”
“Kate did a great job keeping me updated with pictures and even a video. I loved seeing how worn out my baby girl was at the end of her stay. I'll definitely be reaching out to Kate again!”
“Carley and Ferris took great care of my dog Fawn over a holiday weekend. They have a great setup and treated her like one of their own. Carley was very responsive and kept me up to date. I would definitely recommend them!”
“He did a wonderful job of caring for my spoiled dog! He was great with photos and communication showing that my girl was well cared for, she was even cuddled up on the couch in blankies which is her favorite. He also went out for a few walks in the below zero weather to make sure she did her business, because she isn't used to a fenced in yard. My Sadie was there with another beagle and he made sure that my dog who is free fed, could get time to eat, where the other dog was on a scheduled feeding time. Hoping I can use him again in the future.”
“Rachel and her family were amazing 😍. Our large puppers love being on the farm, and soaked up all the love and attention! We already have recommended her to our family. Rachel will be our first call when we need boarding again!”
“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.”
About: I am currently working towards a bachelor's in Animal Behavior and Welfare, as interacting with animals and learning about them is a passion of mine. I greatly enjoy learning to care for them and then doing so. The degree im working towards is focused on the care of animals while educating the public about them. I grew up with a dog and have had many small animals as pets throughout my life, rodents, fish, insects, arachnids, frogs, etc. Currently I have 3 reptiles and two cats. Willow-Wisp, and Boiled-Egg are my cats. My corn snake is Copper, Blue Tongued Skink is Little-Dude, and Tripod is my leopard gecko. Both Boiled-Egg and Tripod have medical conditions that require at home management and care which has given me some skills in caring for animals with disabilities. They are not the only animal I have history caring for with medical issues either. Many of my experience with pets has been rescue pets, and I have had plenty practice and patience regarding them and behaviors post trauma. I am more than willing to learn about your pets needs and help medical or otherwise. I am currently focusing on college and have plenty of time to help care for your animals. The only day I will be unavailable is Sunday. I have a fenced in yard and half the house closes off by doors so the cats will not interact with your animals unless you are comfortable with it. Depending on your animals preferance I can ensure that I spend time with them or give them the space to feel comfortable and settle in. Any and all expectations set regarding their care and what food, toys, or treats they are allowed will of course be followed. I may have treats of my own I could offer them but will only do so with your approval and in amounts you allow. I do haveextra food and water bowels if you would prefer to use those rather than bringing your own. In the case something awful were to happen I have experience bringing animals to emergency.
“Emily was wonderful throughout the whole experience. She invited us to her home to see how my dog would be before booking the stay. Throughout my dog's stay she sent pictures and updates on how he was doing. She was also very understanding of my flight issues I had and was very flexible. I'd recommend her to everyone.”
