“Alexis is an easygoing, fun-to-be-around lady. She listens, takes notes, asks specific questions and likes dogs even when they jump up and be rude. I wish I could hire her on a weekly basis to watch my babies, even without going on vacation, haha.”
“Fallin is a great catsitter! She kept me updated at all times and I received lots of pictures of my Maya. I didn't feel worried at all because I got pictures throughout the day 🙂 When Fallin was at our house, she cuddled with Maya a lot and was vigilant about keeping Maya's cone on (Maya is on medication right now). When we came home, Maya looked happy and energetic. We recommend hiring Fallin as a catsitter!”
“Christina is absolutely amazing!! She took such good care of our 4 pups and our house too!! We are so happy we found you and can’t wait to have you come back one day soon!!”
“Desiré took good care of my puppy she was left alone at home sadly we forgot to refill her food container plus we temporarily lost the key so she was left with no security at home. I’m thankful I was able to find her and got a response immediately and came home fed her and took her for a 4 walks! Stayed 5 hrs while we were away. Thank you so much for your service!”
“Elizabeth watched our 4 pups while we were out-of-state and was absolutely phenomenal! Really the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Took fantastic care of both the pups and our home! She took time out of her day to take the pups to parks and even to continue working on their training while we were away. Truly loved her and will definitely be using her every time we need a sitter for our pups!”
“We had a great experience with Eric and would definitely recommend him. Our boxers are pretty low maintenance but the younger one has some separation anxiety and Eric did a great job of accommodating her quirks.”
About: Hello! I have 20 years of experience caring for dogs, and occasionally foster puppies from local animal shelters. I love dogs and am happy to help with crate and potty training if needed! Open availability during the weekday and weekends. Able to house sit overnight as well. I love to be outdoors and can take your pet on fun adventures! Being fun and active with dogs is important- but also giving them space to be calm and safe is a must. I'm able to provide crate and potty training if needed as well!
“We’ve now used Natalie twice and both experiences have been great. Everything went smoothly, she took wonderful care of our pets and home, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. We’ll definitely continue to use her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Jamie exceeded my expectations and I will use her over and over and over! She even left a little report card! She was super helpful and even went above and beyond when my dog was itching. Again, she was amazing.”
“Abby is amazing! She provided consistent updates and pictures while house/cat sitting. I never once felt uneasy or uncomfortable being away from my cats because I knew she was taking such good care of them. Even though my cats were too grumpy to fully engage with Abby, she respected their space and let them work up the courage to approach her. She also left our home very clean and organized. We highly recommend her for some peace of mind. We’re looking forward to booking with her again.”
“I cannot recommend Felipe enough. He stayed in my home for three weeks to care for my senior dog and did an exceptional job in every possible way. He followed every instruction and consistently went above and beyond, especially given that my dog is older and requires special care. Throughout his stay, he remained calm, patient, and thoughtful, even when unexpected situations came up. He physically lifted up and assisted my dog countless times when he couldn’t get up or walk, kept him comfortable, and genuinely cared for his well-being. When an emergency arose, Felipe took my dog to the vet right away, stayed with him, and kept me fully updated. His communication was outstanding. He provided frequent updates, sent photos, responded quickly, and proactively raised concerns whenever something needed attention. In terms of home care, Felipe kept the house in fantastic condition. He was respectful of the space, left everything clean and tidy, and even washed all the sheets and towels he used before my return (something he didn’t have to do, but did anyway, and I really appreciated it). If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable, Felipe is exactly the kind of sitter you want. I’m incredibly grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely hire him again.”
“Abby was great with my pup! She was communicative with me the whole weekend. Sent me videos and pics, and let me know how my girl was doing. I'd definitely have Abby watch my girl again anytime!”
About: Hi all, If you are looking for a pet sitter who truly connects and understand your pets and saves you any anxiety, look no further! I have been told repeatedly that I have magic when it comes to dogs and am a natural magnet for all dogs! I have been a foster mom for dogs working with a local organization and have fostered 15 + dogs and sent them to their furever homes! I seem to have what it takes to really makes dogs comfortable with me and allow me to be their new best human friend. If you pick me, I promise you that your cutie pie is in safe and responsible hands! I am currently out of the corporate world and considering pet sitting full time because I love dogs and feel I have a natural gift for taking care of them. I am a part-time yoga teacher and may be out for some days of the week for a couple of hours. I strongly believe in giving the dogs space and time to earn their trust and for them to feel totally comfortable. Hence, I would consider each dog as a personalized case and give them what they individually need to relax. Be it, frequent trips outside or play with them or even leave them alone to observe and decompress. Each dog is different. So, being adaptable and attuned to their needs is my topmost priority. Taking them outside for a quick or longer walk is a non negotiable (unless the pawrents are specific about not wanting them out). They will be free to roam the house as they please. Food and medicines will be given as per their preferences and guidelines shared by the pawrents.
“Aaliyah was amazing! She took excellent care of my kitties, giving them lots of love and attention, and she gave me regular updates and photos so I knew everything was going ok. Would definitely recommend her and work with her again!”
“Aaliya was amazing from start to finish. Before our trip, she took the time to come meet us and June so we could make sure everyone was comfortable, and right away we could see how much she genuinely loves and cares for dogs. We were away for over a week, and having Aaliya stay with June gave us so much peace of mind. She kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos, took June on walks, and stayed in touch with us throughout the entire trip. It was clear that June was well cared for and loved while we were gone. We are so grateful for everything she did, and we would absolutely choose Aaliya again to watch June in the future. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter! 🐾❤️”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 14 years, and that experience includes everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs—whether it’s potty training, giving medication, helping with mobility, or just being a calm, steady presence. I always tailor my care to each pet’s age, personality, and routine so they feel safe and supported. I’ve been caring for pets for over 14 years, with experience ranging from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need extra TLC. I’m comfortable with a wide variety of care needs, including potty training, medication administration, mobility support, and maintaining consistent routines that help pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my dedication, patience, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I genuinely love animals and take the time to build trust with them, whether that means playtime for high-energy pups or a calm, comforting presence for more anxious or senior pets. I also prioritize communication and reliability, so pet parents can feel confident knowing their pets are receiving attentive, loving care every step of the way. I currently work full-time as a professional pet sitter, which allows me to offer flexible availability throughout the week and weekends. Every visit is focused on giving your pet plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. I can do whatever you want me to do. I've taken dogs on a walk in a park before they eat. I'll play with him. Just hang them for an hour or for however long the client wants me to

Zoe always takes the best care of our pups. We had one of our pups, who is having eye issues, and Zoe perfectly followed all medications and care. Our home was left well cared for as well. We always hope Zoe is available to house and dog sit whenever we travel. She's the best!
Noel did a fantastic job taking care of my fur babies while we were out on vacation. She was consistent with her visits and my dogs absolutely loved her. She was attentive and also was thoughtful enough to put a package we received in the fridge. I didn’t have to worry and was confident she would treat my babies with the utmost care. I will definitely be using her in the future and she is a god send since my pups tend to have separation anxiety.
The first I noticed about Grace is that she notes of everything we said. She is responsible, caring and warm, and is diligent in sending updates (which is something we asked for). The extra touch was coming home to a hand written card and a frame with a paw print and nose print. I highly recommend booking with her, she she is available.
Zamiyah was so caring and attentive to Charlie. I loved that she communicated and sent updates on how he was doing and also made sure he felt right at home while I was away. I highly recommend her for your fur babies! I will be keeping her for future use. I’m glad she was the one to take care of my baby, he looked so happy while I was gone.
Aram was absolutely amazing with our pup, while we were away. From the start, she was super communicative, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. She followed all of our instructions, kept us updated, and even went above and beyond in a few areas without us asking. It gave us a ton of peace of mind knowing Kanye was in such good hands. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We came back to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a home that was in great shape. Would 100% book Aram again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy sitter.
Rileigh did such a great job with Phoebe, I'm so grateful! My puppy absolutely loves her and that tells me a lot. She was on time, was giving me plenty of updates throughout the day, and can tell she was playing a lot with my high energy puppy which is all I can ask for and more. Thank you again for taking care of my baby!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Duluth on Rover is $60 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,817 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Duluth. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Duluth walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Duluth maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Duluth choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
