“Having Fallin sit with our 8 week old puppy was a relief. She kept us updated regularly and took so much time with us. She came for a meet and greet before being booked which I appreciated very much. My 18 year old is very anxious about their fur babies and Fallin helped alleviate that anxiety! We will definitely hire her again!”
“Lindsey sent lots of pictures and was great about working with my very needy dogs! One loves to sleep with a person at night for snuggles and the other is very timid, she did great with both and sent lots of pictures and updates. Will book again!”
About: I have 4 dogs of my own, ranging from 2 - 10. I have been dog sitting them since the day we got them 10 years ago, but have started dog sitting alone 5 years ago. They are all 50+ pounds and a bit crazy at times but that has never changed how cute and loving they are. I would love to sit your dog(s) and will do it with a joyful spirit! I’m currently working from home, and traveling for an event company to put on events. I have limited availability but when I am in town, I’m free for any services you may need! I can’t care for pets in my own home due to our rental contract, however I will care for pets in your home as well as you normally would! I find that pets feel more comfortable being taken care of in their own home and it (hopefully) creates less stress for the owners! I will treat your home with love, care, and respect, the same way that you would!
“Lydia did a really fantastic job with our elderly dog as well as the house sitting. She was super responsive in all of her communication. I will definitely be booking Lydia again in the future.”
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
“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.”
“Emily was fantastic. She was very attentive to the details we provided. She was on time. She sent pictures during the stay and kept us up to date the whole time we were away. :)”
“Cadence took great care of Panzie while we were out of town. My dog seemed quite happy with the experience. Would recommend. Not only was the dog well cared for, the house remained very clean and tidy.”
“Aaliya is excellent. She went the extra mile while taking care of my home and pet. Aaliya put me and my dog at ease with her sweet and compassionate personality. I will definitely ask her back in tje future! Thank you Aaliya!!”
“This was the day we were supposed to leave and Dominique made arrangements to come meet the pets. They were available to housesit and take great care of our pets. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Sarai took wonderful care of our dog and our home while we were away for two weeks this summer. She took him on walks, kept our house in great shape, and was always quick to respond whenever we reached out. The best part was coming home to a happy, relaxed dog who was completely himself 😊. We would absolutely hire Sarai again and highly recommend her!”
“sidney stayed with our dog for 2 nights. she sent pictures periodically. our house was clean when we got back! she also washed the sheets and towels and made the bed! thanks, sidney!”
“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!”
“Morgan did a fantastic job with our 2 dogs. She kept them at our home for a whole week. She stayed in communication with us, and provided good care and great judgement. She left everything in good order.”
“Susan was amazing. She came on time and sent regular updates. She petted Roxie and kept her so calm when we were away. Totally recommend to anyone looking for an amazing sitter”
About: I have house sitted for friends for weeks at times caring for their pets as well. I have also pet sat dogs, cats, and even a pig... I wish I was joking but animals of all kind need caring for at times. I am CPR certified and am intuitive of changes in animals the more time I spend with them. I am a teacher and have alot more free time now that it's summer time but would love to do this year round, walking dogs or house sitting when I can. I will not be caring for pets in my home since I live with roommates with allergies so I will only house-sit or walk dogs.

About: Hello! My name is Donna and my experience with dogs started at a very young age. My family bred and trained show dogs and i was the primary care taker! I’m a HUGE CAT person but i do love dogs as well. I’m energetic and keep your fury babe intrigued and well taken care of while you go out and explore the world. I do have a dog of my own she is a beauty! Her name is Kuma and she gets along with EVERYTHING! She’s excited to meet some new friends and have plenty of sleepovers! My husband and I are both active duty military so that should put your worries at ease, we are good people, and we love to help when possible. I am currently a full time student. I commit about 20 hours a week to school but the remainder of that time I use to fulfill myself and spend some time looking for new hobbies and volunteering my time with planned pethood and (soon) will be looking forward to being a short term furry foster mom to injured or sick pets needing new homes. I live in an apartment, no yard. So all outside exercise will be leashed activities unless we go to the dog park (with parents permission). The winter/fall season is my hiking season so with permission some fortunate pups will be my hiking buddies.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Duluth is $50

I almost didn’t want to leave a review simply because I want to gate keep Christina. She is exactly what I want from a sitter. Having worked in the daycare & boarding industry, it can be hard for me to trust someone new to watch my dogs. I didn’t have an ounce of anxiety while Christina was over. My pups were so happy and at ease when I got home. I know they were treated so well. Thank you so much 💙
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Duluth is $60 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $90 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,659 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
