“Christina did an excellent job caring for my 3 month old puppy! It was my first time leaving him and she was so communicative, which made me feel so much more comfortable!”
“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!”
“Taylor was awesome. My dog, Miller, loved her and was very happy while I was gone. Taylor sent great pictures and treated my pup to the same love and attention he is used to. I will be booking with Taylor again and again!”
“I had Fallin come stay in my home and take care of my energetic corgi and kitty. She was a literal dream. For the entire week she kept up with perfect communication - letting me know every time they walked, ate etc. I also got multiple pictures everyday and by the end I could tell the animals were just as comfortable at home with her than they are with me. My house was also left exactly how we left it, and she was very respectful of our home. I will 100% be using Fallin again and I feel so relieved I found someone I trust so I can be more relaxed away from home.”
“Eric took great care of my 4 babies while I was away for surgery. He made a stressful trip more manageable for me, knowing I had a reliable and experienced sitter who could stay in my home where my pets feel most safe. I've had situations in the past where my trips were disrupted due to my dogs anxious barking, but Eric won my babies over and had no issues at all with them. I'd highly recommend Eric.”
“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.”
About: I have personally cared for small and medium-sized dogs, including those with special needs, for the last 12 years and I have had many friends who have trusted me to babysit theirs as well while on vacation etc. I also have three pups of my own! Safety, love and gentleness are my approach to these such sweet beings. I am also interactive, attentive and love to play! I am available early mornings, mid-day, and evenings for walks and visits on weekdays and weekends. My availability is very flexible so just let me know what you need in terms of my presence with your pup(s). I am always highly respectful of a pet parent’s home. I only provide food/treats approved by doggie parents. Will follow any rules and routines with care. Helping your pup to feel comfortable, nurtured and loved is my utmost priority.
“This was my first time leaving my babies Maggie and Milo for a trip and I was absolutely terrified of it. I was very worried about Maggie in particular because she has separation anxiety and doesn’t warm up to strangers. When Elizabeth saw that Maggie wouldn’t eat whatsoever, she went to the store and bought some food that helped with her appetite. She even took Milo to the vet since nobody else could take him and began administering his meds. I struck gold with Elizabeth who went above and beyond to gain their trust and take care of them. She also did all she could to reassure me and has won my trust. She took such good care of my dogs and I highly recommend her. Definitely will be having her dog sit my babies again when necessary!”
“Felipe is an awesome friend to the pack. The dogs enjoyed a vacation away from me while I was on a business trip. My fur family and home were left in Felipe's capable hands. I won't hesitate to book again knowing we've found someone that loves dogs as much as myself.”
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!
“Maddison was absolutely wonderful! I don’t trust just anyone with my pets, they are family and truly like a child to me. So finding someone I feel completely comfortable leaving them with is incredibly important. Maddison went above and beyond. She took wonderful care of both my dog and my cat, and I could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. She was attentive, dependable, caring, and gave me complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. It’s not easy for me to leave my pets with someone else, but I never had to worry with Maddison. I’m so grateful for the care and love she gave them, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets. I will absolutely be using her again!”
“We had to find a new sitter on a last minute notice and we are so happy we found Lydia because she was amazing! She took amazing care of our boys, followed instructions, and was in constant communication with us. Could not recommend her more and we will be using her in the future :)”
“We had Mackenzie watch Jasmine and Rudy for a day, as a trial for a longer stay later on. We are super happy with both Mackenzie's care for the doggos and also her responsiveness and communication with us. She followed our instructions thoroughly, kept us updated, and responded promptly when we reached out. Thank Mackenzie!”
“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.”
“Natalie was absolutely amazing with our fur-babies! Very communicative and listened to everything! The animals were happy and well-fed! We are so very appreciative and will definitely rebook!”
“Michaela did a great job with our boys. We got pictures everyday from her. When my wife and I came home, the house was cleaned as if no one was there. She did a great job with our two boys. We will definitely be using Michaela again!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Duluth
Christina is heaven sent! My dogs adore her…they know her by name… and she sends the most fun, entertaining updates that make me smile every time. She’s polite, respectful, and always cleans up after herself. If your pets know Christina, you already know what I mean. She treats them like her own.
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 4,792 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Duluth. On Rover:
- 93% 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.
