“Very lovely family- kind and accommodating. Their daughter was wonderful with my dog too. Thank you for giving my pup a home away from home for the weekend.”
“Peter was on it with communication and pictures. Dixie found a comfy spot quickly. It was so nice to get a day away and know she was in good hands willing to walk her as needed.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Christina is phenomenal. She kept us up to date with how Ziibi was doing, and wasn't afraid to check in and ask if some of Ziibi's more...interesting behaviors were typical. We felt like our dog got a really personalized experience.”
“I was happy to leave my dogs with Patty. She has a very nice, large fenced yard, has a great demeanor and a is obviously a dog lover. My dogs weren't sad to see me go, lol. I'll definitely be bringing them back to "visit" Patty. I'm sure the dogs will love staying there again.”
“Jamie took wonderful care of Opie while we were away. She was flexible and understanding of our travel schedule. She made sure Opie got plenty of exercise. He came home a happy, tired pup!”
“Stacie did an amazing job looking after my Kadie! She sent pictures and updates every day, and Kadie came home tired and happy! Anyone looking for a good, kind pet-sitter is in the right place!”
“Zane was great. Very accommodating and flexible with drop off and pickup, and provided a picture during the stay to show my pup was doing great. Great communication throughout. Would use again if I'm in the area.”
“Casey was a godsend for watching Harper. She has been a bit shy with other dogs, especially those larger than her. She came home tired and happy so we know it had to have gone well. Harper LOVES kids and snuggles and really bonded with Casey’s son. The pictures, videos and updates were greatly appreciated. We feel we have finally found the ideal sitter for our sweetheart Harper for future stays.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: From St Bernards to Yorkies we have sat for a wide variety of pets. Our family, including Banjo the Beagle would love to host your pup. We are conveniently situated in The Lincoln Park Craft District- 2 blocks away from the trail and daily trail walks are an important part of our routine. My daily routine consists of 2 miles of dog walking- at least. As a teacher I am off in the summer, so I have lots of time to spend with your pup. During the school year I work nearby by and could cruise home for a midday potty break at lunch-as needed. I have a very social 4 year old dog to keep your pet entertained. I live very near excellent dog walking trails. If you have a social dog we love dog park trips.
“Kate watched our dog for 5 days and did awesome! Fenced in yard helped me feel reassured. Our dog also had the opportunity to socialize with other dogs (and a cat) during the stay which he needed. Loved all the pictures throughout the stay! Thanks Kate!”
“Kylee and her partner David were wonderful with our dog, Rusty! I could tell right away that they would be a good fit and that I could trust them. They provided updates and pictures which helped me feel at ease while I was away. Rusty got lots of cuddles and even got to go on a hike with them, which he loves to do! I will definitely be reaching out to Kylee any time I need someone to watch our pup.”
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.

“Siri was very tentative with our dog and communicated well. Siri was able to give Robin her medication, feed, water, and spend time with our senior dog. We would definitely have her care for our dog again.”
“Adriana took very good care of our pets and they loved spending time and playing with her! She communicated with us very well and worked with us if we need to modify the schedule. I would definitely recommend her services.!”
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.
“Courtnie did a great job taking care of our 2 cats! She was timely in her drop in visits and provided pictures and a thorough overview in the report cards. We would gladly have her watch our cats again!”
“Sabrina and her daughter did such a wonderful job! We were so happy to get daily updates on our cats during the drop in visits, and are very thankful for how attentive and helpful they were. Will definitely book with Sabrina again in the future!”
“Talia is WONDERFUL! She always notifies me when she’s arriving and leaving, shares lots of photos, and it’s very evident my kitten adores her. We are so grateful to have her as a pet sitter!!”
“Kimberly is fantastic. She totally met and exceeded my expectations as a first time user of Rover. My two cats were super well cared for and her daily notes and pictures were awesome and very appreciated. She's a real pro.”
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.
“Taylor is amazing! She was incredibly professional and communicative, giving timely updates and regularly sending pictures of our very happy cats. She went above and beyond to accommodate us during a storm-extended vacation and we couldn't have been happier with the care she provided. Part of me doesn't want to give this rave review because I don't want other people to have her booked during our future vacations, but alas, she really deserves it! 10/10, would book Taylor again.”
“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%!”
“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.”
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.
About: Having two troublesome (but great) cats myself, I know the ins and outs of their temperament. I’ve taken care of senior kitties and mature cats. I’m familiar with wet food diets and even medications if needed! I would love the opportunity to meet your cats and offer them enrichment.
About: I have done some pet sitting for a few cat loving friends. While I can't say I am the most cat savvy, if you need someone to stop by and feed your feline friends and scoop the poop I can certainly manage that :) Any advanced cat care like giving meds successfully is probably not in my wheelhouse.

“I felt so at ease leaving Gus with Laura and her family while I worked. I could tell he was loved and appreciated all of the photos and flexibility. Thank you for taking care of my sweet pup!! Will definitely come back.”
“My sweet Heidi had such an amazing time with Barbara and Peter! Every morning, Heidi would run right into their arms and ready to play with her new friends. In addition, I am very thankful for how accommodating and flexible they were to my schedule.”
“Amber has been so wonderful with my hanky boy. She is very professional and has a love of all animals. I trust her completely. I like that she is very cautious with my pups at first until they are comfortable.”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“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!! ?”

“Patty S. took good care of Marvin! Patty was very accommodating with a short notice scheduling and also some last minute changes in pick-up time. We look forward to having Marvin stay with her again!”
“My dog had a fantastic time at Jamie's! He got to play with lots of toys, go for walks, and lounge around with new human buds. He went back a second day and was excited to see everybody, which is always a great sign! Jamie & her husband have a knack for dogs and are clearly comfortable with their quirks. I absolutely recommend them for all your dog care needs!!”
“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: 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!
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 specialize in large dog breeds as I have 1 Pyrenees and 1 golden retriever myself. They are both very well trained and certified ESA’s. I don’t have any special skills such as pet training, just really good with dogs. I am a full time nurse and I’m off every other week. I would love to take/walk dogs on my weeks off. I have always had a dog in my family. I’d love to hang out with your furry friends! I have two big loving dogs to keep yours company. We will spend a lot of time outside hiking and going for walks! If your pet is not staying at my house we will still have fun going for runs, walks, or being outside.
“We couldn’t be happier with our first experience using Rover, and it was all thanks to our wonderful pet sitter! She was available on very short notice and went above and beyond to accommodate us. She even met us at a local Starbucks for drop-off instead of having us drive to her home, which made a huge difference in keeping our busy day on schedule. Partway through our trip, our plans unexpectedly changed from needing only daytime care to requiring an overnight stay. Once again, she was incredibly flexible, accommodating, and easy to work with. Throughout our dog’s stay, she was very responsive, sending regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind and reassured us that our pet was happy and well cared for. As first-time Rover users, we weren’t sure what to expect, but this experience exceeded our expectations. On top of providing exceptional care, her rates were more affordable than anyone else we found in the area. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, reliable, and reasonably priced pet sitter. We will definitely be using her again!”
“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: i have had a dog since i was 3 years old and absolutely love animals with all my heart! I am a recent CU Boulder and looking to fill my free time with something rewarding.

I am super flexible with rates! Reach out with any questions:) I am currently studying for my LSAT and working from home. This means I have the perfect schedule to help tend to anything your dog needs, or just be there to hang out with them. Unfortunately I do not currently offer boarding, though I am happy to watch your dog at a clients home. I will ensure your pet is thoroughly cared for and gets more love than you can imagine.

About: Hi, I’m Tia! I’ve been around animals my whole life—our family had dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, and even a ferret. I started dog-sitting back in college, and I’ve been a proud pet parent ever since. My husband and I currently have three rescue dogs, including one who is deaf. I’m experienced with senior pets, special needs, and giving medications. After 20 years in healthcare, I shifted my focus to something I’ve always loved: caring for animals. I left the medical field in 2024 and started my own pet care business—and I couldn’t be happier. I’m compassionate, calm, and reliable. I understand how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every animal like family. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or special care, your pet will be in loving hands with me. I left healthcare in 2024 to follow my passion—caring for pets full time. I run my own pet care business and love focusing my days around dogs! I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and care. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing always come first, always, every single time. 🐾
“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!!”
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.
“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.”
“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!”
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.
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.
“Lori is wonderful with the dogs. Fantastic with communication. She walks them takes them to the park. Practice with the commands. I recommend her and we will be using her again.”
About: I have been a pet sitter for friends and family for years! My brother has three German shepherds that I dog sit every time he goes out of town. I have also dog sat for small and medium size dogs too! When I was in high school I took care of someone's kitten within my home for 6 months and it was a life changing experience! I absolutely adore all pets. My new roommate is very allergic to dogs and cats so I am trying to find my pet fix somewhere! Spending time with dogs and cats reduces stress for me and is something that I highly value. I am an adaptable person who can handle any and all needs! Also, I am a very active person and would love to take your pups on runs! I just moved in with someone who is allergic to cats and dogs after living with these animals my entire life. Spending time with cats and dogs reduces my stress and anxiety. I couldn't imagine my life without being around pets so I thought becoming a pet sitter would be the perfect thing! I am an active person as well and growing up I would take my dog on runs. If that is something you would be interested in as well, I'm your girl! My old roommate whom I lived with for 3 years had a cat and we had a schedule for feeding him and cleaning his litter box. Living with him was such a joy! We would cuddle and play everyday. I would also give him fresh fish for treats! The other pets that I am around the most are my brothers German shepherds whom I take care of roughly 6 weekends a year. They are really big dogs that need a lot of food and exercise! They listen very well so we have established a routine that works well for everyone. They get let out to go to the bathroom and while they are out there I prepare all of their food dishes. Then I usually play fetch with them for awhile! When it is really nice out I let them stay outside for as long as they want. They love to come on runs with me, but I only take them one at a time or else I would be flying instead of running!

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!
“Courtnie is so detailed and so loving to our pup! Fantastic updates throughout the weekend we were gone and we would absolutely hire her again! Thank you Courtnie, Aria is so grateful!”

“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'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.

“Very lovely family- kind and accommodating. Their daughter was wonderful with my dog too. Thank you for giving my pup a home away from home for the weekend.”
“Peter was on it with communication and pictures. Dixie found a comfy spot quickly. It was so nice to get a day away and know she was in good hands willing to walk her as needed.”
“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 phenomenal. She kept us up to date with how Ziibi was doing, and wasn't afraid to check in and ask if some of Ziibi's more...interesting behaviors were typical. We felt like our dog got a really personalized experience.”
“I was happy to leave my dogs with Patty. She has a very nice, large fenced yard, has a great demeanor and a is obviously a dog lover. My dogs weren't sad to see me go, lol. I'll definitely be bringing them back to "visit" Patty. I'm sure the dogs will love staying there again.”
“Jamie took wonderful care of Opie while we were away. She was flexible and understanding of our travel schedule. She made sure Opie got plenty of exercise. He came home a happy, tired pup!”
“Stacie did an amazing job looking after my Kadie! She sent pictures and updates every day, and Kadie came home tired and happy! Anyone looking for a good, kind pet-sitter is in the right place!”
“Zane was great. Very accommodating and flexible with drop off and pickup, and provided a picture during the stay to show my pup was doing great. Great communication throughout. Would use again if I'm in the area.”
“Casey was a godsend for watching Harper. She has been a bit shy with other dogs, especially those larger than her. She came home tired and happy so we know it had to have gone well. Harper LOVES kids and snuggles and really bonded with Casey’s son. The pictures, videos and updates were greatly appreciated. We feel we have finally found the ideal sitter for our sweetheart Harper for future stays.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: From St Bernards to Yorkies we have sat for a wide variety of pets. Our family, including Banjo the Beagle would love to host your pup. We are conveniently situated in The Lincoln Park Craft District- 2 blocks away from the trail and daily trail walks are an important part of our routine. My daily routine consists of 2 miles of dog walking- at least. As a teacher I am off in the summer, so I have lots of time to spend with your pup. During the school year I work nearby by and could cruise home for a midday potty break at lunch-as needed. I have a very social 4 year old dog to keep your pet entertained. I live very near excellent dog walking trails. If you have a social dog we love dog park trips.
“Kate watched our dog for 5 days and did awesome! Fenced in yard helped me feel reassured. Our dog also had the opportunity to socialize with other dogs (and a cat) during the stay which he needed. Loved all the pictures throughout the stay! Thanks Kate!”
“Kylee and her partner David were wonderful with our dog, Rusty! I could tell right away that they would be a good fit and that I could trust them. They provided updates and pictures which helped me feel at ease while I was away. Rusty got lots of cuddles and even got to go on a hike with them, which he loves to do! I will definitely be reaching out to Kylee any time I need someone to watch our pup.”
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.
“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.”
