“Fallin did a fantastic job watching our two dogs. They were very well taken care of were super happy to see us when we got home. She also took excellent care of our house as well. We would definitely rebook Fallin the future to watch the pups! She was a terrific sitter.”
“I am always nervous to leave Rhea but Christina was great! She sent daily updates and asked questions when Rhea needed some extra allergy meds. I look forward to booking her again!”
“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.”
“Sarah was amazing with my 4-pack of dogs. She stayed overnight and made sure our home was taken care of as well. She sent pictures every day, and messaged me regularly, which was wonderful as it was the first time I’d been away from my babies in years! When we came home everything was neat and tidy and the pups were happy. I will definitely be calling on Sarah to come back, as I know she is taking care of my pups as well as I do.”
“Leslie was great with my pup Bogey! She communicated often, sent pictures and kept me updated on everything during the stay. The house was probably better than I had left it when I got home! I will definitely use Leslie again!”
“Taylor O was the perfect sitter for our fur baby. She arrived on time, was very responsive to our communications, and took great care of our home and fur baby. Taylor stayed in our home for our recent 2 week vacation. We had never been away from Jinxie for so long and it was stressful for us and her. Taylor understood our concerns and sent daily photos, texts, and updates. It gave us peace of mind to know that our baby was being well-loved and taken care of while we were away. I highly recommend Taylor as a kind and nurturing sitter. We will definitely be using her again for future trips.”
“Natalie did a great job! She was very attentive and helpful while we were gone. She sent cute photos and updates from all our babies. We will definitely be calling her again when we need a pet sitter. Thanks Natalie!”
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
“I recently moved to the area and had a business trip come up and needed to quickly find someone to watch my two Goldendoodles for a couple of days. Leah was super responsive, and arranged a meet-and-greet the very next day so I could introduce her to Ranger and Ember, and show her where everything is around the house that she would need. It quickly became clear to me that she is experienced, thorough, conscientious, intuitive, caring, trustworthy, and kind person. The updates and photos that she sent to me through the Rover app were very much appreciated while I was away! Thank you, Leah, for doing what you do so well, and for giving me peace of mind! I will definitely be reaching out to ask you to look after R & E for me again in the future.”
“Maria is the best! She house sat Christian while I was away on a trip for a week. She attended to him & his special needs while providing updates. Videos, and photos. Not only was Christian well taken care of but upon returning my home was nice & clean how I left it! Highly Highly Recommend”
“Our doggies love Abrianna! She is wonderful with communication and provided lots of photo updates of what our pups were up to while we were out of town. Our dogs also were on specific medicine and Abrianna provided great care.”
“Emily did great with our dog and two cats. Played with them and walked them, provided pictures with updates, and cleaned up after unfortunate accidents (sorry Emily!). Will 100% be looking to book again with Emily in the future whenever we might be out of town!”
“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.”
“So glad we found Stacy. Stacy stayed with our two boys for a long weekend and everything was wonderful. Boys were happy, well loved and cared for. We've already booked her for our next trip and will plan on even more! Thanks Stacy.”
“Aaliyah did an amazing job watching our two dogs over the July 4th holiday! They were happy and playing and got lots of great videos while we were gone! The house was left in perfect condition and so easy with communication!! Thank you so much Aaliyah!”
“Sivani was fabulous with our dog and home. A week before we were leaving, she asked for specifics regarding feeding and vet contacts. She walked our four legged girl often, sent pictures, took her for a ride and snuggled with her. I threw in a few extra requests and she happily helped me. She was extremely professional and kind. She asked questions when needed.”
“Thank goodness! I wasn’t having the best luck with sitters, but Nikki saved the day. Her and Tinky eased my worries keeping my fur son company while I was away. She was sweet, respectful, and stuck to the schedule I provided. We did a meet and greet beforehand. So, all parties were already comfortable with one another. He was VERY comfortable with them, which made my heart so happy!!! He went in the room the day after they and was lying down. He missed them which made me sad, but it confirmed that he was in good hands. My fur son also had an accident and she was very prompt with contacting me. I normally would go with people who had many reviews and repeat customers, but I decided to take a chance with someone who didn’t. I’m so happy I did. She was great! I will definitely be using Nikki again as long as she’s on this platform!”

Grace was absolutely fantastic watching our Great Dane, Stella, for two nights! She stayed at our house and was incredibly respectful of our home.We received regular updates, wonderful messages, and photos throughout the weekend. Grace even went above and beyond by grooming Stella during her stay! To top it all off, we returned home to a thoughtful gift and a sweet card.Highly recommended!
Emily did great with our dog and two cats. Played with them and walked them, provided pictures with updates, and cleaned up after unfortunate accidents (sorry Emily!). Will 100% be looking to book again with Emily in the future whenever we might be out of town!
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.
Thank you so much for taking care of my fur babies. Booth dogs were well taken care of by Yvonne and seemed very happy with her. If you ever need a overnight sitter shes the one or for anything like walks shes great. Also the house was left the way we left it too her. Can't say enough about her. She will definitely be asked again should I ever need her. Thank you Yvonne we appreciate you.
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!
Heidi is a wonderful pet/house sitter! She took such great care of our little kitty Ruthie while my husband and I were out of the country for eight days. We were able to fully enjoy our trip stress-free knowing that Ruthie was well taken care of. Heidi was very kind, professional, and communicative. She came over beforehand to do a meet and greet, and we could immediately tell that she is has a lot of experience with pets. She sat down on the floor and got to know our kitty on her level, who liked her immediately, and she asked all the right questions. During our trip, Heidi provided daily photos and updates of Ruthie. And she left our home in great condition when we got home. We will absolutely book Heidi again next time we need a pet sitter! I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs!

FAQs for House Sitting - Duluth
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Duluth on Rover is $60 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,757 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.

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.
