“Winnie comes home from Peter’s happy and tired. She gets lots of loving from Peter and Barb and she gets time to socialize with other dogs. These folks are truly animal lovers. ❤️”
“Molly had a wonderful week with Laura and family. We received many updates and pictures throughout the week. Laura and family made us feel at ease leaving molly for the week and we could tell Molly had a great time with constant love and attention while we were away.”
“Nicole was awesome! Super good with communication and keeping us updated on how our pup was doing. Also Nicole was super flexible and very kind when our plans got shifted due to a flight cancellation. I highly recommend you book Nicole for all your pet sitting needs. We’re so happy that we knew our dog was in good hands and Nicole made sure we never had to worry about anything with our pup through our whole vacation.”
“Patty was wonderful! Our two energetic huskies had a great time at her place. The yard was perfect for them to run around, and she kept us updated with great photos and clear communication. We’ll definitely be bringing the dogs back!”
“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.”
“It was my first time in Duluth and Casey not only took me on last minute, I was super comfortable leaving Daisy with him! I’m so grateful for Casey being available and will use him again in the future!”
“Lori was the absolute BEST with our Dog, Yukon! It was our first time leaving him overnight with a new person and she exceeded our expectations...And completely put us (and Yukon!) at ease. He came home tired and happy and we could tell it was a great experience from the updates and pictures she sent during his stay. We will be booking with Lori again and again!”
About: I've worked with a foster care program with many puppies and older dogs. Grew up with three dogs in a dog-loving family, familiar with many breeds and needs! I just graduated from the College of Saint Scholastica. I am available after 4 on weekdays and all day on weekends! My schedule for potty breaks is very flexible! I am very attentive to dogs, and I am able to adjust to their needs (puppies, seniors, disabilities). I also don't mind doing small house-sitting chores, such as dishes and laundry.
About: I'm Ashley. 29 years old. I have 7-8 years of experience sitting dogs. I give them my full attention at all times. I will play with them, and walk them. I will make sure they are fed, and hydrated! I'm a big animal lover! Most dogs that I've sat in the past loved me, and my attention I gave them. They will always leave happy :) I will sometimes spoil them if they're good. I'll go to the store, and pick up some toys or treats. My kids get along very well with animals. They will always play with them as well. My kids have never got injured by any dog or cat. I'm hoping you'll choose me to sit your animal!:)) I'm a stay at home so I have all day to care, and play with them! If my kids don't need me first then they have my full attention. I make sure to get them comfortable first. I fill up their dish bowls right away. They'll either come to me to sit or if they're a smaller dog I'll pick up, and sit with. They always show they are content by licking my hand, and following me around.
“Laren, Mark, and their fur babies took our big fur baby on short notice. They were flexible and helpful. Chewie had a wonderful time with nice folks in a great environment. Thanks, y'all!”
About: I grew up with cats and was drawn to dogs wherever possible! Even now I can’t help but stop and pet all the puppies!! As an adult I have had the opportunity to welcome 4 dogs and 4 cats into our home through the years. I have no problem administering medication or cleaning up messes. I have an alternating schedule and have seven days off in a row every other week. I would generally only plan care on the times that I have off unless your animal is one that can be left in the house 12 hours a day when I do have to work. I would like to get out walking more and the added motivation of a doggo would be great! I have a fenced in yard and a dog that loves doing zoomies all day long but also chilling in the sunshine. Pets are treated with love and care.
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: While I have not been a professional dog sitter I have always been the one to offer to walk or watch my coworkers, family, and friends dogs.I absolutely love being around them, and can't wait to meet yours. In the past I have used Rover to find a sitter for my dogs when I am travelling with them. Having a safe place for them to be when I go tour around a new city is such a nice option to have. Sometimes this is a few hours other times an overnight. Hoping to be able to provide this for others. I have 3 dogs of my own, one shelter rescue and 2 foster fails. Luna, Ole, and Birdie have been great foster siblings to foster dogs I have cared for also. I have a fenced yard with enough room to play. I also have a few spare bedrooms so will have the ability to separate dogs if that is needed however I prefer to dogsit those that are dog friendly due to already having a few in the home.
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is the genuine bond I create with each dog, treating them as if they were my own. I prioritize not just their basic needs, but also their emotional well-being by giving them personalized attention, plenty of affection, and engaging activities tailored to their personality. I focus on maintaining a calm, safe environment that feels like home, ensuring that both pets and their owners feel at ease. My reliability and commitment to clear communication with pet parents also help build trust and peace of mind. Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine is seamless due to my structured schedule. After my nannying hours from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, I have plenty of time in the evenings and weekends to provide dedicated care for pets. I’m available for longer visits or overnight stays on weekends. Routine Maintenance: I adhere to the pet’s regular schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to maintain consistency. Comfort and Safety: I ensure the environment is safe and comfortable, keeping familiar items nearby to reduce stress for the pet. Personalized Attention: I spend quality time with pets, engaging them in their favorite activities and providing companionship. Health Monitoring: I keep an eye on their health and behavior, promptly addressing any concerns and communicating with the owner as needed. House Care: I respect the client’s home by maintaining cleanliness, taking care of any pet-related messes, and following any house rules. Communication: I keep clients updated with regular messages or photos, so they can feel connected and reassured while they’re away. This comprehensive approach ensures that pets feel loved and cared for while their owners are not home.

“Chloe was absolutely amazing for our fur babies. She went above and beyond in caring for them. My family was able to be away and not worry about anything because they were in Chloe’s care. Highly recommend her services.”
“Talia did an awesome job house and pet sitting while we were out of town for a little over a week! She was always quick to respond to my texts and came right up for a meet and greet before booking. She sent lots of cute pictures and updates on the kitties and pups while we were away. She is Baby cat's new best friend! And she was very patient with our shy kitty who is new to house sitters. Upon our return home, the house was in great condition and the pets were all well loved and cared for. We highly recommend Talia and we look forward to having her come again on our future trips!!”
“Chrissy did a wonderful job caring for my 3 mo. old kitten! She sent regular pics and updates so I knew he was doing well. In addition, she stayed at my house and took great care of it. Would recommend her highly!”
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.

I respect every client’s home and provide updates, photos, and honest communication so you can rest easy knowing your pets—furred, scaled, or feathered—are safe, understood, and cared for as if they were my own.
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.
“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!”
“Julia took wonderful care of our cat, Harvey. She was very responsive and communication was excellent throughout. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend!”

“After just moving to Duluth and not knowing anyone, Rover was my only option. I was anxious to leave my buddy with someone I didn't know. Within minutes, Peter sent me a video of Cupcake having the time of his life followed by so many photos to keep my mind at ease. Playtime with another puppy, snuggles inside, and a couple of walks kept him so happy. I will definitely be looking into using this service again and Peter will be a top choice!”
“Casey was absolutely wonderful and took great care of dog. Ollie, is a puppy with a ton of energy and he had a blast playing with the other dogs. He sent us pictures and updates throughout the day. We will definitely be booking again in the future! Thanks for all you do🐾”
“Laura and Nathan were fantastic! They made me feel confident and secure leaving my pup with them. They provided great feedback and lots of pictures. They are gems.”
“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.”
“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!”
