About: I’ve had a pet my whole life so I’ve grown up knowing how to to care of dogs. I have taken care of senior dogs and also puppies so no matter the age I can manage! I have had about 3 years of experience on this app so I know how it works and I’ve done plenty of bookings! I am currently a full-time student at the University of Minnesota-Duluth and I am a part of a sorority. My schedule is pretty flexible. I do have classes during the day and I sometimes have events I need to attend but I am able to house sit, drop in, or walk at almost any time unless my calendar says otherwise. I will give the dog/a plenty of attention and make sure they are well taken care of. I’ll get them outside at least once a day and bathe them if needed. If there’s any other additional services your dog needs I will happily provide it for them.
“Maria did okay with my cat Polly. Maria played with Polly and Polly seemed comfortable with her. Polly's food scoop was left in a different location than it started and her water bowls weren't refilled, which is why I docked a star. I would trust Maria to watch Polly again and improve.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always been a true passion of mine! With nearly 15 years of experience in dog boarding and grooming, I’ve had the joy of caring for pups with all kinds of personalities, quirks, and needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and what makes one pup happy and comfortable may not work for another. That’s why I take the time to get to know each pet individually—learning their routines, preferences, and what helps them feel safe, relaxed, and right at home. My goal is simple: to give your furry family member plenty of love, attention, and personalized care while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! 🐾❤️ While I work full-time during the day, I’m available most evenings and weekends to provide your pets with the love, attention, and routine they’re accustomed to. Whether you’re heading out for an overnight trip, working an extra-long shift, or simply enjoying a much-needed night out, I’m here to help make sure your furry family members are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I know how challenging it can be to fit in that extra walk, potty break, or some much-needed playtime—especially on a busy day. That’s where I come in! My goal is to make life a little easier for you and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands. 🐾❤️ Your pet is in good hands! 🐾 With nearly 15 years of experience working with a wide variety of dog breeds and personalities, I understand that every dog is unique. I take the time to get to know your pet on a personal level—their personality, routine, preferences, and individual needs—because I believe building trust is the foundation of great pet care. Keeping your dog’s routine as consistent as possible helps them feel safe, secure, and comfortable while you’re away, and my goal is for them to enjoy their time with me just as much as they would with you at the other end of the leash! Before your booking, I’ll take the time to talk with you about your pet, their personality, habits, and any special needs or instructions. This allows us to make the proper arrangements ahead of time and ensures your pet receives care that is truly tailored to them. I also place a strong emphasis on open, responsive communication, so you can feel confident knowing that your pet is cared for, their needs are understood, and you’re always kept in the loop while they’re in my care. ❤️
About: I've been taking care of dogs for years! Growing up I had 2 medium large dogs and love taking them for walks! when my grandparents go on vacation, I loved having their small dog stay at my house, taking her fro walks and soaking in small dog snuggles! I' currently a student so I have time during the morning and periodically throughout the day to go for walks! busy on most weekends, but excited to stop by for a potty break during work! I'm not planning on having pets in my home. Please reach out if you have more questions, I would love to meet your fur baby!
“Ruby was super easy to work with, and super prompt, including on a holiday weekend! The pups were worn out when we got home from her visits and she made sure they were pottied and watered each visit as well. Would definitely use her again!”
“Margaret “Greta” was awesome with our puppies. She kept us informed and up to date on all activities. She was prompt and timely with her drop in visits. We would highly recommend and use her services again.”
About: Hello! I started out working for a dog walking/care agency and now I've been working through Rover for over 8 years. I absolutely love caring for dogs. I've worked with all kinds of dogs (breeds, energy levels, etc.) and am committed to giving your dog my full attention and care. I’m very reliable in terms of time commitments and restrictions. I have a flexible schedule so your dog will receive lots of attention (affection, potty breaks, medications, and anything else that is needed). My previous pet care agency can vouch for any/all of these things. You can also check out the reviews on my Rover profile for other owners experiences with me as their sitter. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to meeting your pup(s)! - Livi I have a flexible schedule. This allows for me to give your dog walks in morning, afternoon and evening/night! My flexibility also aids in personalizing the best pickup/drop off times or times to arrive/leave that are convenient for you. I'm also happy to set up meet and greets to get to know you and your dog :) Dogs are allowed on couches/bed/furniture so nothing to worry about there. I can crate your dog if needed as well. Can also accommodate most other requests too, just let me know.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was about 8 when my Mom was an AKC pug breeder for a few years after which we had our 2 pugs live about 14 yrs. I've always loved dogs but current living situation doesn't allow me to own one. I am currently working part-time which is typically 9am-2pm Mon through Thurs & Sat, so early mornings and mid afternoon to evenings is when I'm generally available. My current living situation does not allow me to care for pets in my own home, but I'm happy to make visits for pet care.
About: I absolutely love all animals. I’ve cared for pets for over 10 years and have always loved being around them. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, playtime, and basic care. I’m very active, patient, and loving, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. :) I am currently a college student, so I am home for most of the day. On weekdays, I may leave for short periods, only about an hour at a time for classes or errands. But of course I make sure all pets are checked on regularly and their routines are followed closely. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets in a safe and clean environment, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I’m attentive to behavior changes and always prioritize each pet’s safety and well-being.
About: I've lived with dogs off an on my whole life. I have experience walking, crating, training, feeding, mild grooming and administering meds. I love dogs and cats equally! I work most weekdays 8-4. My job has many days off plus school breaks so I'm available those days as well. My cats at home need insulin shots twice a day so I need to be able to go home when needed. I take this job very seriously knowing how much your pets mean to you is as much as mine mean to me. Safety and health are top priorities.
About: I'm Ashley. 29 years old. I have 7-8 years of experience sitting dogs. I give them my full attention at all times. I will play with them, and walk them. I will make sure they are fed, and hydrated! I'm a big animal lover! Most dogs that I've sat in the past loved me, and my attention I gave them. They will always leave happy :) I will sometimes spoil them if they're good. I'll go to the store, and pick up some toys or treats. My kids get along very well with animals. They will always play with them as well. My kids have never got injured by any dog or cat. I'm hoping you'll choose me to sit your animal!:)) I'm a stay at home so I have all day to care, and play with them! If my kids don't need me first then they have my full attention. I make sure to get them comfortable first. I fill up their dish bowls right away. They'll either come to me to sit or if they're a smaller dog I'll pick up, and sit with. They always show they are content by licking my hand, and following me around.
About: Have much patience as I helped raise litters of puppies from 17 on, experience with IVDD (intervertebral disk disease) paralyzed, expressing bladders, dog grooming assistant for 2 yrs, cancer/kidney failure, comfort cares, giving meds, behavior/aggression issues and more :) Currently work another part time flexible job. I don’t have a sitter for my dog so I would have to bring him along if it’s for an extended stay. He is very dog and cat friendly. I am a hard worker and learn things quickly. Pets have always been my passion to be around :) I always feed my pets before myself and they go out to use restroom the same most times. Safety is my top priority! Respect their space and property always.
About: Hi! Some things about me I love dog especially cat I work at a boarding facility in my home ton superior wi and it’s one of my favorite things! I love getting to take care of the dogs getting them to play going on walks just about everything ! I currently attend University of Wisconsin River Falls major is Dairy science a minor in Equine. I plan to become a large animal vet! I have much experience with cattle too! I grew up on an organic dairy farm when I was younger and spent much time on the farm. Pets are just like one of us!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Duluth
Courtnie was fantastic once again! Our pups do better with her than with us I think! She truly understands the nurturing and patience it takes with our little rescue. Our Chiwie has been in the United States less than a year and is so comfortable at home now that she works at everyone who comes to the house. Courtnie is the only one she does not bark at other than us! Truly remarkable! We are so thankful for her! She goes above and beyond. In addition to our rescue our senior pup takes a bit of extra care. We we were so very grateful and could relax, knowing our babies were well taken care for. We cannot say enough about how amazing Courtnie is!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Duluth is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. 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 236 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Duluth. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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!
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.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Duluth with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
