“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.”
“Christina is a wonderful dog sitter! She provided lots of updates on how our dogs were doing while we were gone on our trip. Great communication and she took care of all things we needed.”
“Alexis was what I needed!!! She came on time! She did a great job communicating with me! She was very attentive to my fur son! She played with him, gave him attention, and was just there for him overall. She followed my schedule that I left for him, too! She returned my home to me the same way I’d left it for her, which was appreciated. She is truly a sweetheart and my son absolutely adored her! I’m grateful I took a chance, and will continue to use her services again as long as she’s on the platform.”
“So grateful for Taylor. She sent so many pictures of our girls during our time away. They were very happy in her care. Which made us be able to relax during our time away”
“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 went out of town just after Christmas and needed a dog sitter. We were very pleased to come home to a happy, healthy pup, we had great communication the whole time and received a set of pictures and updates every evening. We will be using Maria Abigail‘s dog sitting service again!”
“We absolutely loved having Zamiyah over. She provided such great care for Luna and Luna had an absolute blast. She was very responsive and sent lots of pics. We can’t wait for the next play date.”
About: I currently have a 2-year-old Domestic Shorthair cat. I also grew up with a Maltese who was part of my family for 11 wonderful years before she sadly passed away. She was the sweetest dog and will always hold a special place in my heart. I have a flexible schedule, especially during the summer, and am typically available between 7:00 AM and 10:00 PM. Please feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions! I’m happy to take your dog on walks around the neighborhood, whether they prefer a short stroll or a longer adventure. I also enjoy playing with both dogs and cats and can tailor activities to match your pet’s energy level and personality. If your dog prefers indoor, I’m happy to spend time playing with them in the backyard to keep them active, engaged, and happy.
“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.”
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!
“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.”
About: I have been watching neighbors, friends and my families dogs since I was in high school. I’ve done week long dog sits or just letting them out to the bathroom. I am graduate student looking to watch and spend time with some furry friends. I am currently in Graduate School so I would be busy during the week. I am available after 5 pm on weekdays and I am available on weekends. I will make sure to care for your pet so that they are comfortable and having fun while you are out of town. I love to go on daily walks and would love to bring your pup along. I choose to care for pets in their own home so they don’t get too disrupted from their daily schedule.
“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.”
“My pups loved Yvonne! They were so well taken care of. We had great communication with Yvonne while we were away. This made for a relaxing time away knowing all was going so well. She sent us great photos of Katy and Kody. We will definitely be rebooking with her again!”
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
“Aaliyah is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! She goes above and beyond to make sure your fur babies are loved and well cared for. My kitties both got sick right before I went out of town, so they needed meds and frequent check-ins rather than just regular care. Aaliyah made sure they had everything they needed and more. I’m so grateful and highly recommend her!”
“Emily was a great help taking care of our fur babies during the July 4th holiday. The dogs loved her and she left the guest room and bathroom nice and clean. We will definitely be using her again!”
“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!!!”
About: I’ve had animals all my life and got my first dog when I was 6. I now help care for my sister and brother-in-law’s dog as needed. I work completely remote, so I am free throughout the day to care for a pet. My job is pretty flexible, and I am available on most weekends as well. I will be sure to adhere to any and all rules you have for you pet, including restrictions/regulations within your home. If there is any special guidance or instructions, I’m more than happy to abide!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Duluth
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.
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!

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Duluth. On Rover:
- 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.
