Highly-rated overnight sitters - Poplar
“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.”
“Joan is amazing! I am the epitome of a nervous dog parent; worrying about my dogs barking too much, getting into things, or being underfoot. Joan was so communicative and proactive about getting to know our dogs and their routines that I had little to worry about. While we were away she sent updates and pictures that alleviated the rest of my concerns. Our pups were walked, snuggled, brushed, and loved while we were away. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!”
“Communication was awesome! Lots of doggy pictures and really understanding with changing plans due to bad weather. My dog loved it and is tuckered out. I would highly recommend Peter & Barbara’s place.”
“What a joy to pick up my dog and have her doing zoomies in Patty’s yard while waiting for me to get out of my vehicle. Happy barking!! And then my dog was waiting to back into her house instead of my vehicle. (She hates the car 😏) I feel she got all the attention and care she expects. (spoiled queen) Patty also easily extender her stay by a day due to late flight. After a horrific stay at a kennel it is a huge relief to have found a great place for my dog to stay. Absolutely will be boarding again with our new friend Patty and her pack!”
“Jamie took great care of Opie, as usual. She sent many updates to ease our minds as he stayed with her shortly after a dental procedure. Opie loves to stay with Jamie!”
“It is so fun to have a place to bring my dog where she is well cared for and loved. She loves going to Natan and Laura‘s house and I love to see all the great pictures of her having fun”
“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!”
“I would definitely book with Nicole again! This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous at first. Okay, maybe a lot nervous, haha. Drop off and pick up were a breeze. My dog got to meet some new friends and go to the dog park. Nicole was very responsive and sent great updates and pics! It was such a relief knowing he was happy and safe. He even got to sleep on the bed.”
“Rachel and her family were amazing 😍. Our large puppers love being on the farm, and soaked up all the love and attention! We already have recommended her to our family. Rachel will be our first call when we need boarding again!”
“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!”
“Our dogs enjoyed their overnight stay with Christina. She was able to handle with care and love our senior dog with health issues, another active senior dog and a puppy. She was communicative through out their stay with message and photos. We highly recommend Christina.”
“Casey was great — friendly, responsive, professional, and very easy to work with! He provided regular updates with pictures and videos. Finley came home happy, calm, and tired from playing with all of his new friends. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
“Carley and Ferris have a great property for pets with a nice fenced outdoor area. Carley was always prompt with communication and my very social dog had a great time playing and came home happy and tired. Highly recommend!”
“Lisa took great care of our dog while we were away. She was always prompt with communication and also kept us updated with pics and videos (but not an overwhelming amount of them). Opie returned home worn out from playing with His new furry pals. He also returned mysteriously smelling like a newly-groomed dog....:) We will definitely look to Lisa for future care for our pooch while we are away.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always been a true passion of mine! With nearly 15 years of experience in dog boarding and grooming, I’ve had the joy of caring for pups with all kinds of personalities, quirks, and needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and what makes one pup happy and comfortable may not work for another. That’s why I take the time to get to know each pet individually—learning their routines, preferences, and what helps them feel safe, relaxed, and right at home. My goal is simple: to give your furry family member plenty of love, attention, and personalized care while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! 🐾❤️ While I work full-time during the day, I’m available most evenings and weekends to provide your pets with the love, attention, and routine they’re accustomed to. Whether you’re heading out for an overnight trip, working an extra-long shift, or simply enjoying a much-needed night out, I’m here to help make sure your furry family members are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I know how challenging it can be to fit in that extra walk, potty break, or some much-needed playtime—especially on a busy day. That’s where I come in! My goal is to make life a little easier for you and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands. 🐾❤️ Your pet is in good hands! 🐾 With nearly 15 years of experience working with a wide variety of dog breeds and personalities, I understand that every dog is unique. I take the time to get to know your pet on a personal level—their personality, routine, preferences, and individual needs—because I believe building trust is the foundation of great pet care. Keeping your dog’s routine as consistent as possible helps them feel safe, secure, and comfortable while you’re away, and my goal is for them to enjoy their time with me just as much as they would with you at the other end of the leash! Before your booking, I’ll take the time to talk with you about your pet, their personality, habits, and any special needs or instructions. This allows us to make the proper arrangements ahead of time and ensures your pet receives care that is truly tailored to them. I also place a strong emphasis on open, responsive communication, so you can feel confident knowing that your pet is cared for, their needs are understood, and you’re always kept in the loop while they’re in my care. ❤️
“Amber was fantastic. Prior to our scheduled overnight amber spent time getting to know Otis, my super high energy, sort of anxious, golden retriever puppy. Amber immediately made a connection with Otis, I knew Otis would be in good, experienced hands.”
“Carly was amazing with my pup, Opal! She kept us updated regularly with pictures and texts. They took great care of her (playing outside, taking her for walks, and most importantly, snuggles on the couch! I will most definitely use them again!”

“I'm extremely pleased with having Kimberly T. house sit for my dog, Jay! Jay is an older golden retriever with special needs and Kimberly totally took care of him. I could tell he enjoyed her visits and would definitely have Kimberly house sit again. She made Jay happy and safe 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 🤗”
“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!”
“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 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.
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 lived my whole life with at least one cat in my home. I understand their body language and how timid some can be with strangers. I am willing to work with their preferences to provide the best care I can.
“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!”
“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%!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Liz is so communicative and kind! I had the utmost trust in her ability to care for my boys, and she really came through with the updates and pictures. Next time I need a pet sitter I'm asking Liz first :))”
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. We all love our play sessions, whether that's with their wand and feather toy, their colorful springs, or exploring the outdoors in their harnesses. I will prioritize play if your kitty is comfortable with it!
“5 stars! Feels weird to rate a person on a star system, but….. I absolutely would recommend Annika. Very communicative, thorough and timely. Came home to a happy well cared for pet. 100 percent will book again next time I’m away.”

“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!”

“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our slightly spoiled dog with someone he didn’t know. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend Jamie! Our dog has anxiety issues and Jamie sent updates and pictures and I could see he was very comfortable. After we picked him up he was calm and no anxiety! Thank you Jamie sooo much!!”
“This was Phillip and Clark’s second time with Nathan and Laura, and they seemed excited as soon as we got there. We got pictures throughout the day, and the boys seemed happy and tired when we picked them up. Another great stay!”

“Christina has a wonderful facility! Our dog enjoyed playing with her dogs, walking along the trails and exploring the forest, and everything in between. It’s obvious that she cared for my dog in the same way. She cares for her own. We will definitely use Christina again, and are so happy to have found her!”
“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!”
“I was in a real pinch and needed somewhere to bring my dog Ruger on extremely short notice and Aneesa was able to help and was so kind about it! Ruger was so well taken care of! She sent me pictures and updates and helped to make Ruger feel right at home! I can’t say thank you enough!! Would absolutely bring Ruger there again for care!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Courtnie is absolutely fantastic! My little guy is usually a bit skittish when going to a new home for day care but he warmed up extremely well with Courtnie and her dogs! She is super accommodating and incredible when it comes to the care of dogs, very highly recommended her! Thank you so much!! ?”
About: 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.
“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!”

“I received a cuter pic of my dog sitting so pretty than I’ve ever been able to take. Sav was punctual and had good communication throughout. I know my dog is in good hands. Will book again!!”
“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: 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.
“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’ve been taking care and walking a lot of dogs since elementary school and know a lot about pets body language and how they work. Pet care fits into my schedule on the days that i’m off work from my part time job, message me and see what days you need me for and i’ll make it work for you! I know a lot about body language and how to read the signs of what they’re feeling meaning that I can give them what they need in the moment. Following instructions to best take care of your furry friend.
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.
“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: 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: 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.

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.

“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 a pet owner since I was young. From fish and frogs to hamsters and dogs my love and care experience for animals is top notch. Early on I decided that owning pets wasn’t enough which is when I discovered pet sitting. I’m a very energetic person, and id love keep your pet happy and entertained. I love going on walks and runs hikes, swimming and basically any outdoor activity your dog might love. I’m also into chilling inside with your pet if that’s more their vibe!

I myself have had animals ranging from cats and dogs, to snakes to fish and rats.. and as you can imagine, they all require some very different needs! i ALWAYS make it my goal to care for each individual animal the best i can, after all they deserve it! I’d love to make taking care of your furry friends my main priority!

My 2 dogs have me wrapped around their pinkies (toes? paws? 🤷🏻♀️) and i’d do anything to make sure they’re happy. I treat every dog in my care like my very own. I understand leaving your dog in the care of somebody else can be nerve-racking, especially if it’s in somebody else’s home. You worry about wether or not your sitter is going to leave them alone during the day, or if your sitter lives on a busy street, or if there’s a chance your dog gets loose.. i understand all of these! A home visit is a must and i’d be happy to show you where your furry friend will be staying, and what a typical day looks like!

“Joan is amazing! I am the epitome of a nervous dog parent; worrying about my dogs barking too much, getting into things, or being underfoot. Joan was so communicative and proactive about getting to know our dogs and their routines that I had little to worry about. While we were away she sent updates and pictures that alleviated the rest of my concerns. Our pups were walked, snuggled, brushed, and loved while we were away. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!”
“Communication was awesome! Lots of doggy pictures and really understanding with changing plans due to bad weather. My dog loved it and is tuckered out. I would highly recommend Peter & Barbara’s place.”
“What a joy to pick up my dog and have her doing zoomies in Patty’s yard while waiting for me to get out of my vehicle. Happy barking!! And then my dog was waiting to back into her house instead of my vehicle. (She hates the car 😏) I feel she got all the attention and care she expects. (spoiled queen) Patty also easily extender her stay by a day due to late flight. After a horrific stay at a kennel it is a huge relief to have found a great place for my dog to stay. Absolutely will be boarding again with our new friend Patty and her pack!”
“Jamie took great care of Opie, as usual. She sent many updates to ease our minds as he stayed with her shortly after a dental procedure. Opie loves to stay with Jamie!”

“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!”
“Rachel and her family were amazing 😍. Our large puppers love being on the farm, and soaked up all the love and attention! We already have recommended her to our family. Rachel will be our first call when we need boarding again!”
“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!”

“Casey was great — friendly, responsive, professional, and very easy to work with! He provided regular updates with pictures and videos. Finley came home happy, calm, and tired from playing with all of his new friends. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
“Carley and Ferris have a great property for pets with a nice fenced outdoor area. Carley was always prompt with communication and my very social dog had a great time playing and came home happy and tired. Highly recommend!”
“Lisa took great care of our dog while we were away. She was always prompt with communication and also kept us updated with pics and videos (but not an overwhelming amount of them). Opie returned home worn out from playing with His new furry pals. He also returned mysteriously smelling like a newly-groomed dog....:) We will definitely look to Lisa for future care for our pooch while we are away.”
“Amber was fantastic. Prior to our scheduled overnight amber spent time getting to know Otis, my super high energy, sort of anxious, golden retriever puppy. Amber immediately made a connection with Otis, I knew Otis would be in good, experienced hands.”
“Carly was amazing with my pup, Opal! She kept us updated regularly with pictures and texts. They took great care of her (playing outside, taking her for walks, and most importantly, snuggles on the couch! I will most definitely use them again!”
“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!”
“Another great weekend for our pup with Courtnie! She treats our dog like one of her own and is a fantastic communicator. I'm looking forward to booking with her many more times in the future.”
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.
