“I highly recommend Nathan & Laura! They and their daughters did an excellent job with my high energy dog. Their fenced yard was great for my dog to exercise. Will rebook when they are available.”
“Jai had a fantastic time with Peter and Barbara! Lots of walks and playtime with other pups. Sent a ton of pictures to keep us updated. Flexible and agreed for a last minute stay. Will repeat!”
“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.”
“Our dog loved his stay with Patty (especially the big backyard)! She was very prompt and helpful in communicating, and did an excellent job caring for our slightly anxious boy. She also accommodated our last-minute booking and was flexible with drop off and pick up.”
“I had the absolute pleasure of having Heather take care of my dog, Opal, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Heather went above and beyond to make sure Opal felt comfortable and loved. She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind and showed how well Opal was being cared for. Not only did she take Opal on multiple walks, but she also gave her a bath, leaving her looking and feeling fresh. The love and attention Opal received were beyond what I could have hoped for, and I will definitely be using Heather again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Casey took good care of our dog while we were away on vacation. This was his first time away from us for so long and I was a bit worried about how he would handle it. Casey took the time to send me pictures and videos each day to show how well he was handling the separation. Our dog was very happy for most of the time away from us, and I could tell that Casey took the time to take good care of our dog. He followed all of our instructions for care very well. I highly suggest his services and we'll be sharing his name with other local dog owners.”
“Shiloh did amazing with our golden doodle Jinx! She sent sweet update photos and jinx came back happy as ever. Her children gave our dog lots of love and her dog was very sweet and playful!”
“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! :)”
“Amber has been so wonderful and a lifesaver for my pooch and me. After fracturing my ankle, she came and picked up hanky for a few days while I was unable to properly take care of him. She brought him home when I was feeling better and now picking him up while I await surgery. I am so fortunate to have her and know my hanky boy is in good hands as I go through this. Thank you to her and her family for the help and support❤️”
“Carly was amazing with my pup, Opal! She kept us updated regularly with pictures and texts. They took great care of her (playing outside, taking her for walks, and most importantly, snuggles on the couch! I will most definitely use them again!”
“Emily took wonderful care of our Stella while we were at an out state wedding. We were able to enjoy ourselves knowing Stella was well taken care. Emily did a great job of sending pictures thoroughout the weekend of Stella's happenings. I would highly recommend Emily. Her passion for animals, approachable personality, and flexibility made the experience a wonderful success!”
“Mike took amazing care of our pup while we were away and it was so fun getting pictures and videos of her throughout each day. He pampered her & loved on her so much we didn’t have to worry at all about her having fun while we were gone! He is absolutely phenomenal with her! She had a fabulous time with him. We highly recommend Mike and will definitely be asking him to take care of Didgi the next time we are away!”
“Tatum was a dream! Beyond accommodating and loving to our puppy. She sent us pictures, videos and let us know how he was doing the entire stay. By the pictures you could tell our puppy was in heaven and got lots of love!”
“Lisa made us and our boys us feel welcome and comfortable from the beginning. She sent us updates and pictures of them while we were away. She was easy to get ahold of and responded quickly. We would recommend her to anyone and would definitely have her look after our boys again.”

“Amelia was so giving and caring. She made sure the Yorkie was loved and asked me questions before trying new things to calm her. Loved the respect and honest report with Amelia. I would trust her to take care of any dog.”

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 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 the absolute best to work with! I felt really comfortable leaving for the holidays knowing Leroy would be well taken care of. Each visit, Kimberly sent beautiful pictures of their playtime and videos of Leroy chatting. I will definitely be booking with her again”
“Sav came to my rescue when I needed care for my 9yo Newfie following an unexpected health event of my father and sudden change in plans. Knowing my pup would receive high quality compassionate care allowed me to focus on my out of state family. Sav was responsive, attentive to detail, in tune with my senior pup’s needs, and her exceptional service brought me calm+confidence. I’m excited to have found a dependable new care giver that I can look to for future needs.”
“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%!”

“Mel took care of our two cats over the holidays and she was absolutely great. Even though there was a snow storm she still came by every day and even offered to shovel the walkway for us. She brought in all of our packages, some of which were very large. Very accommodating and kept us well updated. The cats loved her and we'll definitely have Mel pet sit the next time we go out of town!”
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.
About: Having grown up around high energy dogs I understand how much work they can be and how all that work is worth it in the end. I work from 9am - 6 pm so plenty of time for an early morning walk or and evening stroll. Also avaible most weekend for boarding (Friday nights - Sunday ) I live close to Lief Erickson Park and the board walk so plenty of grassy areas to walk and get good excersize. My Apartment is spacious with no other pets or children, but plenty of sunny spots for a nice nap or room to play indoors.
About: I have had the privilege of caring for cats for the last 15 years when I got my first kitten. I have experience with cats in a wide range of life situations. Between helping a mother cat through birth, feeding new born kittens, and doing daily medical cares and wound dressings on an elderly cat I feel comfortable providing care in any area. I currently have 7 kittens and love playing with them and watching them grow.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, ranging in breeds from dalmatians to terriers to labs to shepards. I am able to go for runs with active dogs or give company to the elderly ones. I have two dogs of my own: a 9 yr old lab mix and a 6 yr old German Shepard. I have had nothing but great experiences using Rover, and want to make sure others experience the same. Looking forward to meeting your doggos! I currently work the standard M-F, so I’m available for care and walks mostly on weekends. However depending on location, I can accommodate drop-in’s during the week. I live in a quiet neighborhood streets for walks with parks nearby. I have 2 playful dogs of my own, but they also know how to relax. Plenty of space in house for them to roam or be crated at your request.

“We had our dog Nala hang out for a few hours while we went on a motorcycle ride. Immediately they were so nice and wanted us to check out their space beforehand and let us know the area Nala would be. They took pictures while we were out and their daughter was excited for Nala to be there. Highly recommend these guys. They love dogs and are very hospitable. Very clean and safe environment for your fur baby.”
“Casey is capable, considerate, and responsive when caring for your pets. Sent some fun videos throughout the day and it was a relief knowing that our dog was in great hands. Our pup came back exhausted and happy. Will definitely use Casey in the future!”
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.
“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!”
“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: 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!
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our slightly spoiled dog with someone he didn’t know. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend Jamie! Our dog has anxiety issues and Jamie sent updates and pictures and I could see he was very comfortable. After we picked him up he was calm and no anxiety! Thank you Jamie sooo much!!”
“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 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! :)
“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 were grateful that we found Lori to watch our pup while we were at a Glensheen Mansion wedding. She is super close to the mansion which made it so convenient. This was Thor’s first time staying with someone he didn’t know but Lori kept him busy and happy.”
“Not only were Aneesa and Ethan super flexible with working out pick-up/drop-off times, but Chester also came home SO happy and obviously well taken care of during his stay. Can't wait for the puppies to hang out again!”

“Amber is the best! I'm so happy with how it's going with my pups! My chihuahua-dachshund is impossible to walk but just a couple of weeks of walking with Amber and he's walking without pulling!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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: Hi! My name is Mara, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and your home while you’re away. I have grown up with multiple dogs and have always loved being around animals. Over the years, I have also provided dog sitting and house sitting for neighbors and family members, caring for pets in their own homes, following their routines, and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I will take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience providing more specialized care, including administering IV medication for an elderly animal I was watching. This experience taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, attention to detail, and following care instructions carefully. My background working in childcare, summer camps, and other safety-focused roles has helped me become dependable, organized, and attentive. I will treat your pets like they are my own and your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I am happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently a full-time online student, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I am happy to work with your pet’s routine to provide consistent and reliable care. I care for pets by keeping their routines consistent and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow all care instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and I treat each pet and home with the same respect I would want for my own. I am happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for.
“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.”
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.
About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I grew up with long haired dachshunds. I have also owned labs, a Dalmatian, huskies, you name it. I love big cuddly dogs the most, but will love up on the smallest to the biggest dog the same. I also have a big heart for senior pets. I work full-time during the week but I am always on the go and able to help with pet sitting, dog walking, helping with caring for animals as needed. I am available for house-sitting depending on the days/times. When I go to someone's home to care for their pet I will treat it as though it is my own pet, which is with the utmost care, kindness and love. I have a huge heart for all living beings including animals and humans. I am highly responsible, and responsive.
About: With over 10 years of professional dog training and 20+ years in animal care and herpetology, I bring a rare blend of scientific knowledge, hands-on experience, and genuine compassion to every animal I work with. I hold a B.S. in Biology with a minor in Wildlife Conservation and have worked on behavior teams at top-scale training facilities, specializing in: - Aggressive and reactive dogs - Fearful, shy, and trauma-affected pets - Confidence building and behavior modification - Basic and advanced obedience training My background in veterinary medicine and canine nutrition allows me to provide attentive care for pets with medical or dietary needs, including administering medications safely and accurately. Beyond dogs and cats (I share my home with two dogs and three cats), I also specialize in exotic animal care. As a professional herpetologist, I have decades of experience caring for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates, and understand the unique environmental and behavioral needs of these species. I’m calm, confident, and dedicated to creating safe, positive experiences for every animal—whether it’s a nervous rescue, a senior pet, or a curious critter. I currently co-own a reptile shop; this allows me to make my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility to have a wide range of availability. Just reach out and we can make something work. I don't mind early mornings or late nights. I provide care exclusively in your home, where pets feel safest and most comfortable. Keeping your pet in their familiar environment reduces stress and helps maintain trust and consistency in their daily routine. As a professional dog trainer that has an extensive background in behavior, with over 10 years of experience, I’m skilled in handling reactive, fearful, and trauma-affected dogs using calm, positive, and science-based methods. My background in veterinary support and animal health ensures I can confidently manage medication administration, monitor subtle signs of stress or illness, and respond appropriately in emergencies. I also specialize in exotic animal care—as a herpetologist with 20+ years of experience and a degree in Biology with a Wildlife Conservation minor, I’m well-versed in reptile, amphibian, and small exotic husbandry, handling, and enrichment.

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 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.
About: I have two chocolate labs at home. I have cared for these dogs for 8+ years, and I have also dog-sat plenty of my neighbors', community members', friends', and relatives’ dogs over the years. I love to adventure with my dogs, but I can accommodate whatever adventure means for each dog, based on ability and the owner's desire. Also, I have done training with my oldest dog, have experience giving medication upon the owner's instructions, and have sat with quite sick dogs (my attentiveness to needs in this department is high). Overall, excited to sit for you! And let me know if you have further questions for me! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pups! I’m available for watching on both weekends and weekdays when you need my help! I will have work throughout the week, but I can pick up times to watch as my schedule is flexible. I spend a lot of time with my dogs when they go outside, and I walk/run them every day. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I also have experience ensuring owners’ dogs receive their medications and the correct dosages. Overall, I can adjust to all your pup’s needs!
About: As I have been taking care of dogs since I was 9 years old, the neighbors, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. From active puppies, sleepy teens, and needy seniors! I am currently working part time, so I have a lot of extra time to take care of your little buddy during your busy day! When coming to your home to take care of your best friend, I will be aware of your space and be sure to clean up if any messes are made. I like to spend most of my time playing outside with your friends, so I will not spend much time inside the house!
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, ranging in breeds from dalmatians to terriers to labs to shepards. I am able to go for runs with active dogs or give company to the elderly ones. I have two dogs of my own: a 9 yr old lab mix and a 6 yr old German Shepard. I have had nothing but great experiences using Rover, and want to make sure others experience the same. Looking forward to meeting your doggos! I currently work the standard M-F, so I’m available for care and walks mostly on weekends. However depending on location, I can accommodate drop-in’s during the week. I live in a quiet neighborhood streets for walks with parks nearby. I have 2 playful dogs of my own, but they also know how to relax. Plenty of space in house for them to roam or be crated at your request.
About: I have experience working with many animals growing up on my grandpas cattle farm. I love to work with dogs and cats. I grew up with 3 sweet cats and a big loyal husky. Currently I am “mom” to 7 kitties. I also have experience dog sitting as I have dog sat for two different families throughout my time at college. I have recently graduated from college and am taking a gap year in between grad school. I am working part time at the hospital but would love to spend time playing with your animal friends as well! To me my pets are family and I will treat your pets in the same way. They deserve care respect and love and I will do everything I can to keep them safe and happy during their time with me.
About: Growing up on a farm allowed me the opportunity to always have a dog. I have helped deliver puppies, taken care of animals when they were sick, cared for animals at their best and worst. I am an author, so I work from home. I am able to make time or write around any other obligations that come my way. I am a warm and caring person and animals gravitate towards me. I love to walk and play with pets. I am also adept at giving animals medicines when necessary.

“I highly recommend Nathan & Laura! They and their daughters did an excellent job with my high energy dog. Their fenced yard was great for my dog to exercise. Will rebook when they are available.”
“Jai had a fantastic time with Peter and Barbara! Lots of walks and playtime with other pups. Sent a ton of pictures to keep us updated. Flexible and agreed for a last minute stay. Will repeat!”
“Our dog loved his stay with Patty (especially the big backyard)! She was very prompt and helpful in communicating, and did an excellent job caring for our slightly anxious boy. She also accommodated our last-minute booking and was flexible with drop off and pick up.”
“I had the absolute pleasure of having Heather take care of my dog, Opal, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Heather went above and beyond to make sure Opal felt comfortable and loved. She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind and showed how well Opal was being cared for. Not only did she take Opal on multiple walks, but she also gave her a bath, leaving her looking and feeling fresh. The love and attention Opal received were beyond what I could have hoped for, and I will definitely be using Heather again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Casey took good care of our dog while we were away on vacation. This was his first time away from us for so long and I was a bit worried about how he would handle it. Casey took the time to send me pictures and videos each day to show how well he was handling the separation. Our dog was very happy for most of the time away from us, and I could tell that Casey took the time to take good care of our dog. He followed all of our instructions for care very well. I highly suggest his services and we'll be sharing his name with other local dog owners.”
“Shiloh did amazing with our golden doodle Jinx! She sent sweet update photos and jinx came back happy as ever. Her children gave our dog lots of love and her dog was very sweet and playful!”
“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! :)”
“Amber has been so wonderful and a lifesaver for my pooch and me. After fracturing my ankle, she came and picked up hanky for a few days while I was unable to properly take care of him. She brought him home when I was feeling better and now picking him up while I await surgery. I am so fortunate to have her and know my hanky boy is in good hands as I go through this. Thank you to her and her family for the help and support❤️”
“Carly was amazing with my pup, Opal! She kept us updated regularly with pictures and texts. They took great care of her (playing outside, taking her for walks, and most importantly, snuggles on the couch! I will most definitely use them again!”
“Emily took wonderful care of our Stella while we were at an out state wedding. We were able to enjoy ourselves knowing Stella was well taken care. Emily did a great job of sending pictures thoroughout the weekend of Stella's happenings. I would highly recommend Emily. Her passion for animals, approachable personality, and flexibility made the experience a wonderful success!”
“Mike took amazing care of our pup while we were away and it was so fun getting pictures and videos of her throughout each day. He pampered her & loved on her so much we didn’t have to worry at all about her having fun while we were gone! He is absolutely phenomenal with her! She had a fabulous time with him. We highly recommend Mike and will definitely be asking him to take care of Didgi the next time we are away!”
“Lisa made us and our boys us feel welcome and comfortable from the beginning. She sent us updates and pictures of them while we were away. She was easy to get ahold of and responded quickly. We would recommend her to anyone and would definitely have her look after our boys again.”

“Amelia was so giving and caring. She made sure the Yorkie was loved and asked me questions before trying new things to calm her. Loved the respect and honest report with Amelia. I would trust her to take care of any dog.”
