“Emily saved our family vacation, and helped our sweet girl with separation anxiety come out of her shell! If catastrophizing was an Olympic sport, I’d be the undefeated Gold medalist. I automatically assume something will go wrong, so after plans for our dog’s care fell through right before our vacation, I was irritated with my husband for even suggesting Rover. I was certain, it wasn’t was possible to find someone Piper could meet, develop a relationship, and truly enjoy staying with—for 5 whole days, and on that short of notice. She’s a great dog, but she needs to know where my husband is at all times. That’s why I couldn’t believe he thought she’d survive a week away from him! Let alone after being plucked out of her home and left with complete strangers! I knew I’d have to stay home, and there was nothing Rover could do about it. I thought we were wasting our time, but I had been looking forward to that vacation for a year, so I wanted to be sure there was no way to make it work before accepting the loss. After coming across Emily’s profile, I I held my breath, and told my husband I was willing to schedule a meet-and-greet. Eveything about her experience, living arrangements, and family life looked perfect on paper, but the “glass is totally empty” part of me spent days insisting it was destined to fail. Imagine our surprise when the “absolutely not”, quickly shifted to talks of mutual friends, laughs, and knowing they were exactly who we were hoping to find!! We absolutely loved getting frequent photos chronicalling Piper’s adventures! Seeing how much fun she was having helped ease our minds, and allowed us to enjoy our time together as a family—without having to worry if she was being treated well! One after the other, each picture reminding we had nothing to worry about! We should just enjoy ourselves, because Piper was having too much fun, participating in too many activities, and soaking in immeasurable amounts of love and attention to worry about when we’d be back to pick her up! I don’t know about you, but I think that’s all a nervous pet owner could ever ask for. Thanks again for everything! We can’t wait to book with you again soon! Pat & Laura Larson”
“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. :)”
“Opie loves staying with Jamie and is always well cared for when he is there. I never worry while we are away. I would recommend Jamie if you are looking for a caregiver for your furry family member.”
“My dog loves going to Nathan & Laura. She gets the best care, love and attention from the whole family. Bungles especially likes to run free in the fenced back yard.”
“My dog had a great time with Kelli and Shane. He's a border collie, and I know he enjoyed running around in the fields and playing with the kids. It was a good vacation for him.”
“Our girls came home happy and tired! They seemed to make themselves at home right away and I’m so glad they were able to be part of a family while we were away! Good communication and flexibility throughout the stay, would definitely have them stay again!”
“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!”
“Nicole did great! Banjo had a great time and she kept him busy! Lots of picture updates which was great! No hesitation sending Banjo back to Nicole next time we're out of town!!”
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.
“Lassie had a wonderful time with Rachel, her family and her pets! She whined in the car when we were driving off…she didn’t want to leave! Thank you so much for the great care you took of her and for sending so many pictures during her fun time there!”
“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!”
“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! :)”
“I’m always so hesitant to leave my pup anywhere, but she had the best time at Christina’s. Kiya played her heart out and got all the snuggles, and I am so grateful.”

“This was our second time booking with Sabrina and her daughter! We appreciate them so much, they always do such a wonderful job checking on our cats. We will definitely continue to book with them!”
“Kim was great! She spent a lot of time with our orange tabby. It was obvious from the pics and video she took that he liked her a lot. She played with him quite a bit (and maybe raised the bar for us, in that department 🙂). We’re very happy customers and would highly recommend Kim!”
“Talia did an amazing job taking care of my shy cat (former barn kitty who is skittish with new people) while I was away from home for a few days. She came for a meet and greet beforehand, kept me updated throughout each day I was away, shared photos, asked questions, and went above and beyond basic tasks by taking care of house chores. She’s truly a caring person who knows how much fur babies are loved by their owners. It takes a wonderful person to understand and have patience with their little personalities and needs. I appreciate knowing my cat was in such caring hands while I was away!”
“Love love the in home visits with Rachel A. She also took the appointment on really short notice and went way beyond expectations!!! I’m am so happy and so is my boy buddy! Thank you so much Rachel! I think she loves my boy 🤗”
“Amber did a great job! When our cat didn’t eat breakfast and take his medicine, Amber went back in the evening to check on him! She went above and beyond. Thank you, Amber!”
“Excellent service, Sav sent updates for Mimmie and was precise and punctual and cordial - was timely in response and flexible.. was very kind and gentle to Mimmie : will definitely use her service again. one of the best we ever had on Rover as we have used the service many times for vacation. Randy A.”
“Julia took such good care of my cats, and they warmed up to her right away. It is so nice to get the regular reports and pictures, didn’t have to worry about them at all and could just enjoy my vacation. I will definitely book Julia again when I leave town.”
“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%!”
“Absolutely amazing and professional! Very trustworthy…Smokey was well taken care during our stay out of country. Liz kept us updated and spent good quality time with him. She was able to accommodate his ‘unique’ lifestyle habits and he was able to spend his enormous amount of energy…we can’t thank you enough!”
“Beth was wonderfully professional!!! She sent us pictures of our pets and a brief report every night! It put our minds at ease that she was taking such good care of our pets and watched our house, including bringing in the mail and watering the plants. I recommend her highly!!”
About: I have taken care of cats since I was a child- so over 25 years now! My family has always had cats and I’ve been able to make sure they are fed, watered, groomed, and get lots of love and playtime. I also have had my own cat, Virginia, for over 7 years now and she’s my world. I’m new to the area and co manage the Duluth Buckle location. I would love to get to know the area more and fill my free time helping take care of other cats!
About: I believe every cat deserves care that is tailored to their unique personality. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and comfort level, whether they love attention, playtime, or simply a calm presence nearby. My experience caring for children has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to provide a safe and nurturing environment. I’m dedicated to making sure your cat feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Sherry is trustworthy and reliable! We have a high energy puppy and she did a great job with her! Sherry was very willing to continue the training we are currently doing to keep the consistency for our puppy. I greatly appreciated that. I highly recommend Sherry :)”

“Our dog Molly loved her day of doggy daycare. Laura was welcoming and kind. We appreciated the flexible and accommodating drop off and pick up times. We got lots of pictures and updates. Molly had a great time with her new fur and kid friends. Molly will be back for a week stay next month 😀”

“Casey took great care of my rather hyper, 10th month old golden retriever. We had done a meet a greet a week before, so she easily went with him when I dropped her off for the whole day. He sent a picture and a video of her interacting with the other dogs in his care. She seemed quite happy. He was flexible with my somewhat uncertain schedule for the day. I will definitely use him again when I am back in that area.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“Sav met my young lab and he instantly liked her. She knows dogs well and is very knowledgeable. I trust her 100% with my dog. Sav responds quickly, shows up and comes well prepared for their adventure. I was truly impressed and I would definitely recommend her! She's very good.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
About: With over 20 years of experience as a dog owner and lover, I provide a caring, home-based environment for dogs of all sizes. I work primarily from home, have two children, and a large, fenced yard for plenty of outdoor time and walks. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and part of the family while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your doggos! Working primarily from home with a flexible schedule allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, walks, and outdoor fun throughout the day. We currently do not have any pets of our own, which makes our home a great fit for dogs who prefer a quieter environment or do best as the only pet. I'm available most weekdays and weekends and would love to learn about your dog's unique routine, personality, and needs. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home where your furry family member feels happy, relaxed, and cared for while you're away. I understand that pets are family, which is why I treat every dog in my care like one of my own. With plenty of experience hosting friends' dogs, I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pup can relax, play, and feel at home.
“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 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)! I work from home so I have lots of time to take care of and spend time with your pup(s). We enjoy spending time outdoors with our dog and going on daily walks. 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. Our dog is crate trained for nights but can be either free or crated when we are away, depending on your preference.
“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.”

“Had such a GREAT experience with Sav! She knows exactly what she is doing and was SO adaptable her first time getting to know our dogs quirks. Truly, it means so much as we have a golden retriever who struggles on walks and is anxious! We will absolutely be using her again as our dog walker!”
“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!!”
“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 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.
“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: Living on a farm, I have a lot of experience interacting with animals of all kinds. Running a farm of any size is not a one person job so my family is a big part of my life. I can’t imagine a better place to live doing something I love. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Whether it is feeding and watering our chickens and cows or grooming our dogs, I work hard to ensure our animals are cared for. I am a stay at home mom so your four legged friends will rarely be left alone. I work hard to follow any instructions owners may give me. Additionally, I make sure all animals in our care have access to food, water, and love. I also like to take a few pictures of what we are up to send them to people so they know their pet is getting loved and cared for.
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 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.

After coming across Emily’s profile, I I held my breath, and told my husband I was willing to schedule a meet-and-greet. Eveything about her experience, living arrangements, and family life looked perfect on paper, but the “glass is totally empty” part of me spent days insisting it was destined to fail. Imagine our surprise when the “absolutely not”, quickly shifted to talks of mutual friends, laughs, and knowing they were exactly who we were hoping to find!! We absolutely loved getting frequent photos chronicalling Piper’s adventures! Seeing how much fun she was having helped ease our minds, and allowed us to enjoy our time together as a family—without having to worry if she was being treated well! One after the other, each picture reminding we had nothing to worry about! We should just enjoy ourselves, because Piper was having too much fun, participating in too many activities, and soaking in immeasurable amounts of love and attention to worry about when we’d be back to pick her up! I don’t know about you, but I think that’s all a nervous pet owner could ever ask for. Thanks again for everything! We can’t wait to book with you again soon! Pat & Laura Larson”
“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. :)”
“Opie loves staying with Jamie and is always well cared for when he is there. I never worry while we are away. I would recommend Jamie if you are looking for a caregiver for your furry family member.”
“My dog loves going to Nathan & Laura. She gets the best care, love and attention from the whole family. Bungles especially likes to run free in the fenced back yard.”
“Our girls came home happy and tired! They seemed to make themselves at home right away and I’m so glad they were able to be part of a family while we were away! Good communication and flexibility throughout the stay, would definitely have them stay again!”
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.
“Lassie had a wonderful time with Rachel, her family and her pets! She whined in the car when we were driving off…she didn’t want to leave! Thank you so much for the great care you took of her and for sending so many pictures during her fun time there!”
“Max had a great time at Carley and Ferris"s and we felt so comfortable on our vacation knowing that he was in great hands and being well taken care of. This was Max's first time boarding and we were nervous but meeting Carley and her pets at a meet and greet prior to our trip definitely put our concerns at ease. We knew he would be well taken care of. Thanks to the both of you for taking such good care of Max. We would definitely love to have you watch him again the next time we need a sitter.”
“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❤️”
“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!”
“Kate was so awesome to work with, her layout and location was perfect for what we needed. She sent me great pics of my happy dog that made me feel comfortable about leaving him. It's my first time using Rover so I didn't know about the tip feature 😬 so sorry about that ugh. I would use Kate again if she would have my dog again and this time the tip I now know about would be included!!”
“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! :)”
“I’m always so hesitant to leave my pup anywhere, but she had the best time at Christina’s. Kiya played her heart out and got all the snuggles, and I am so grateful.”
