“Joan is an absolute dream to have watch your loved ones. She was able to take me in on short notice and treated my pups so very well, I wish she had more availability!! Joan is caring, asks questions, texts pics and videos, responds timely, and truly cares about their well-being. My dogs are outdoor nature dogs and her place was the perfect haven for them both! They were happy and tired pups! Would recommend 100%!!”
“This family took my puppy at the last min for over 24 hrs they made sure they kept me updated with pictures. Daisy seemed well taking care of and wore out from playing. I will definitely be booking with them again often.”
“Wow! I have never felt so comfortable with my companions staying with another family before. Peter went above and beyond taking care of our kittens. We got so many pictures and videos that made being away from them so much easier. Thank you Peter for giving a safe place for Dahlia and Churro to stay while we explored the beauty of Duluth”
“My Sadie had another great weekend at Laura & Nathan's! She loves all the cuddles she gets and playing outside off her leash in their spacious fenced back yard!”
“Patty did an outstanding job with our dogs! She managed to communicate with us daily even though we were out of the country and difficult to get hold of. When one of the dogs became ill, Patty handled everything perfectly and went above and beyond to ensure that our pets recovery went well. Her pet handling skills were evident and very much appreciated! Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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.”
“I can’t say enough great things about how fantastic Rachel and her family were with our dog, Larry. He was there for 5 nights over the 4th of July Holiday and had the time of his life. Rachel was so good about sending lots of pictures that we really felt like we had a good idea of how much fun he was having. Rachel’s family welcomed Larry like he was one of their own and their 4 dogs did a good job of showing Larry how life on the farm works! They even took him hiking at the nearby Pattison state park and he played a lot of fetch in their meadow and swam in the stream on their property. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants their dog to have a great adventure!!”
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with Reka! She kept me updated with great communication, photos, and regular updates. Reka received so much love and attention from Heather, her kids, and even the neighbors. She had a blast playing with other dogs and was truly treated like a princess. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Christina, was very accommodating when we had an emergency family funeral to attend. The initial planned day was for a meet & greet but we needed emergency care for Willow & thankfully she had room. She's very good with dogs and we had talked with a couple other people coicindentally who also had their dogs kept by Christina with positive things to say. There were nuances that we hadn't remembered to mention & after communicating those with Christina, made a little more sense as to why our dog acted the way she did. It was unfortunate that our dog didn't have introduction to the setting prior to this as I'm pretty sure she was a bit overwhelmed with a different caregiver, house, dogs etc. We've reviewed many other dog sitters and Christina filled all of our desired qualities. Thank you again for accepting Willow especially under the circumstances.”
“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.”
“Casey was amazing! He sent daily photos and videos while we were on our trip, and was great at communicating with us throughout. Having a dog sitter like Casey watch our dog made me very relaxed, knowing that we put our dog in good hands. We will be calling on Casey’s services again. Highly recommend.”

I have also had pets my whole life including; dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, chickens, turkeys, turtles, pet rats, fish, pigs, cows and horses.

Please feel free to ask me any questions you might have regarding my experience. I really look forward to meeting and spending time with your fur baby(s). Thanks for taking the time to check out my profile! My senior cat is respectful and very friendly being open to any pet guests that come to visit. My younger kitty Timba loves to play, and enjoys lots of attention. I do treat any fur babies in my care as I would *my own*, so we go for rides in the car, walks, trips to the beach, the pet store for a Birthday or special treat, the local dog parks & occasional trips out to the country. I am currently doing online classes with a few afternoon appointments so your fur baby would have my full attention for fun play time, frequent bathroom breaks and leisurely walks.
“Lisa was great! She made sure to keep us posted on how Peppa was doing at her home and with her other pups (all good!) and sent a few photos as well. Our girl only stayed over 1 night but she seemed to be well taken care of and happy upon her return!”

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!!”

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.

Also making sure your dog is leashed at all times when on walks.
“Anna was a great sitter for my cat ! I was afraid he would be hiding the whole time during her visits but she took the time to win him over, and he accepted some affection. She sent lots of photos , she brought in a package for me, she even made it over during a lot of snow when travel was difficult. She came by twice so I could show her how to open our difficult front door and give her the keys, she came all the way back to drop them off to me when I got home from traveling. She also volunteered to do one last check up on him when I was going to be back later than expected because of flights. Will definitely be booking her again when I travel again.”
About: I've cared for a total of 8 kitties in my lifetime, from the daily feeding and litter scooping to claw trimming to intensive palliative care, and the 12 weeks of injections for Minky's FIP (she is totally healthy now!), and Poppy's twice daily epilepsy meds. I can handle any and all of it! Now I have 3 cats. Moki, my 16 yo boy, Minky, who's 3, and Poppy, the youngest at 2 years old.

“Jennifer quickly responded to our last-minute request to care for our dog while we attended a nearby wedding. We appreciated the photos and updates, which put our minds at ease knowing our dog was in good hands!”
“Rachel and family are the absolute best! Could not ask for better people to take care of Luna! They do a great job of exercising and playing with her! She always comes home exhausted.”
“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!”
“Peter and his wife are fantastic with my super energetic, 70lb, 6 month old puppy. I've tried other sitters and he always comes back over-stimulated and not very happy. When I pick him up from them, it's like he didn't even notice I was gone. HIGHLY recommend them with your pups!”
“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!”
“This was my dog Ellie's first time staying with someone she didn't know. Chistina made her feel at home by introducing her dogs one by one. When I left, 3 of them were playing fetch together.”
“We did a meet and greet with Laura awhile ago and finally booked a day daycare for Boomer and Buddy. She followed up with pictures thru out the day. Looked like her kids had a good time with them. I know that Buddy is very active and will keep them on their toes. We have already booked a 3 day stay and appreciate Laura and her family giving our pups the love and care they need!”
“Amber is so awesome with my pups! I always know Hank is in good and compassionate care when he’s with her. Her training with Hank who can be quite the handful has been very helpful. They love her!!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“5/5 and I'd give more if I could. Casey was the best and Hugo absolutely loved staying with him! We got updates with pictures throughout the day and Hugo got to go for walks and spend time outside. I would recommend Casey 100% to watch your dog, they'll be in excellent care!”
“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: 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!

“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!! ?”
“Emmily and Dustin both greeted us and welcomed Winnie. Emmily sent photos during the day. I felt that Winnie was in good hands and did not need to worry about her care. Definitely recommend these folks!”
“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!”

“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: 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.
“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!”
“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: Hi! My name is Anna! Since I was five I have always been around dogs. I would dog sit for my grandmother's three corgis, a few coworkers of my mom, even friends and relatives. Having a dog of my own I understand the responsibilities that are entitled. I've had experience with giving animals medicine too, so that isn't a problem for me! I promise I will give your dog my full attention whether it be for food, potty breaks, or even a good ear scratch! If any problems arise I will make sure to contact you with any and all questions I might have! Long walks are my favorite and very therapeutic, so why not give a dog a little exercise in the mean time? I am hardworking, attentive, cautious, able to follow explicit care instructions, reliable, and trustworthy towards any and all dogs and people I come across! I hope I can have the opportunity to work with you and your furry friend! I work early afternoon/evenings four days a week, so if you need someone to hang out with your pal during the day while you're at work, then I'm your gal! I am super attentive to all animals in my household. Potty breaks, exercise, food, I keep up with any and all needs. Im gentle, friendly, respectful of space and chill.
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. 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 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 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.

“Joan is an absolute dream to have watch your loved ones. She was able to take me in on short notice and treated my pups so very well, I wish she had more availability!! Joan is caring, asks questions, texts pics and videos, responds timely, and truly cares about their well-being. My dogs are outdoor nature dogs and her place was the perfect haven for them both! They were happy and tired pups! Would recommend 100%!!”
“Wow! I have never felt so comfortable with my companions staying with another family before. Peter went above and beyond taking care of our kittens. We got so many pictures and videos that made being away from them so much easier. Thank you Peter for giving a safe place for Dahlia and Churro to stay while we explored the beauty of Duluth”
“My Sadie had another great weekend at Laura & Nathan's! She loves all the cuddles she gets and playing outside off her leash in their spacious fenced back yard!”
“Patty did an outstanding job with our dogs! She managed to communicate with us daily even though we were out of the country and difficult to get hold of. When one of the dogs became ill, Patty handled everything perfectly and went above and beyond to ensure that our pets recovery went well. Her pet handling skills were evident and very much appreciated! Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“I can’t say enough great things about how fantastic Rachel and her family were with our dog, Larry. He was there for 5 nights over the 4th of July Holiday and had the time of his life. Rachel was so good about sending lots of pictures that we really felt like we had a good idea of how much fun he was having. Rachel’s family welcomed Larry like he was one of their own and their 4 dogs did a good job of showing Larry how life on the farm works! They even took him hiking at the nearby Pattison state park and he played a lot of fetch in their meadow and swam in the stream on their property. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants their dog to have a great adventure!!”
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with Reka! She kept me updated with great communication, photos, and regular updates. Reka received so much love and attention from Heather, her kids, and even the neighbors. She had a blast playing with other dogs and was truly treated like a princess. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Christina, was very accommodating when we had an emergency family funeral to attend. The initial planned day was for a meet & greet but we needed emergency care for Willow & thankfully she had room. She's very good with dogs and we had talked with a couple other people coicindentally who also had their dogs kept by Christina with positive things to say. There were nuances that we hadn't remembered to mention & after communicating those with Christina, made a little more sense as to why our dog acted the way she did. It was unfortunate that our dog didn't have introduction to the setting prior to this as I'm pretty sure she was a bit overwhelmed with a different caregiver, house, dogs etc. We've reviewed many other dog sitters and Christina filled all of our desired qualities. Thank you again for accepting Willow especially under the circumstances.”
“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.”
“Casey was amazing! He sent daily photos and videos while we were on our trip, and was great at communicating with us throughout. Having a dog sitter like Casey watch our dog made me very relaxed, knowing that we put our dog in good hands. We will be calling on Casey’s services again. Highly recommend.”
About: Call me Kim, I have loved and cared for many animals starting at a young age, while growing up in the country. I have also had pets my whole life including; dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, chickens, turkeys, turtles, pet rats, fish, pigs, cows and horses. Currently I have 2 cats, one is a 14 year old senior who is hard of hearing. He is social and gets along well with everyone. My younger cat, Timba is 4 years old and is the ‘typical’ orange cat, always ready to play, be in everybody’s business and wants to be every dogs best buddy. Currently, I am taking online classes, making my schedule flexible and open to help out other pet parents. I have grown up with a background in caring for farm animals and have experience caring for many types of animals including; horses, cows, turkeys, goats, pigs, snakes, rabbits and chickens. Please feel free to ask me any questions you might have regarding my experience. I really look forward to meeting and spending time with your fur baby(s). Thanks for taking the time to check out my profile! My senior cat is respectful and very friendly being open to any pet guests that come to visit. My younger kitty Timba loves to play, and enjoys lots of attention. I do treat any fur babies in my care as I would *my own*, so we go for rides in the car, walks, trips to the beach, the pet store for a Birthday or special treat, the local dog parks & occasional trips out to the country. I am currently doing online classes with a few afternoon appointments so your fur baby would have my full attention for fun play time, frequent bathroom breaks and leisurely walks.
“Lisa was great! She made sure to keep us posted on how Peppa was doing at her home and with her other pups (all good!) and sent a few photos as well. Our girl only stayed over 1 night but she seemed to be well taken care of and happy upon her return!”
“Christina was wonderful with our cat, Molly! We were so grateful she was available at the last minute. She stayed in contact the whole week we were gone and sent the cutest pictures of Molly! We highly recommend Christina and will absolutely call her again!”
“Kate did a great job keeping me updated with pictures and even a video. I loved seeing how worn out my baby girl was at the end of her stay. I'll definitely be reaching out to Kate again!”
“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! :)”
