About: Growing up surrounded by animals of all kinds gave me a lifelong understanding of their needs. I treat every pet like family, with love, patience, and attention. 🐾 I have open availability Sundays–Wednesdays, Thursday mornings and Friday mornings, with a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate both planned bookings and last-minute requests! I provide loving, attentive care in your pet's familiar environment, following their routines, respecting your home, and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐾
“Liz was great and was in constant communication throughout the stay with Maverick. She was available for a next-day visit. We would highly recommend Liz for house sitting pets!”
“Jayden was great with my two dogs and kept me updated throughout my vacation. I didn't have to worry about anything, she did an amazing job. Would recommend her service if you're looking for dog care. Thanks Jayden!”
About: I have owned cats and dogs my whole life. I’ve walked, fed, bathed and spent nights with family and friends pets. I did rover in past states (SC, ME & NH) and I got to spend time with a lot of great dogs, I’m hoping to meet more here! I recently moved back home and I am hoping to fill my free time spending it with great pets! Currently my daily schedule is open I am very patient for any pets that struggle with new people. I love playing with pets, so if they enjoy playing I can spend lots of time doing that. Going on walks are my favorite thing! I love eating so I am aware of your pets eating and making sure they get it on their schedule. I have a little experience with crating my sisters dog. Anything I don’t know how to do I am willingly to learn and catch on fast.
“Stacie stayed in touch with us and helped us navigate a fluid situation with the city doing some construction in front of our house and in our basement. She came up with helpful options so our dog wouldn’t be frightened of all the noise. She sent pictures and videos which we very much appreciated. It was so helpful to have her with our pets and looking out for their best interest.”
“Bellamy saved our family get together! She came at short notice and was flexible with our need to come to the house multiple times. She took amazing care of Layla and communication was great!”
“Livi was so great with our pup, who can be nervous and skeptical of new people. She stayed in touch and sent us pictures of Muskie, and we felt so good knowing our little girl was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Livi!”
About: From St Bernards to Yorkies we have sat for a wide variety of pets. Our family, including Banjo the Beagle would love to host your pup. We are conveniently situated in The Lincoln Park Craft District- 2 blocks away from the trail and daily trail walks are an important part of our routine. My daily routine consists of 2 miles of dog walking- at least. As a teacher I am off in the summer, so I have lots of time to spend with your pup. During the school year I work nearby by and could cruise home for a midday potty break at lunch-as needed. I have a very social 4 year old dog to keep your pet entertained. I live very near excellent dog walking trails. If you have a social dog we love dog park trips.
“Julia provided outstanding service while dog sitting our 2 dogs (one big and one e little barker) for the weekend in our home. She also came for a meet and greet ahead of time. We will surely request Julia again in the future.”
About: I have never lived in a house without a dog or cat. I lost my Riley last year and have found that caring for others' four legged loved ones really fills my heart more than I imagined. I have the most experience with small-medium sized dogs and cats but I love big dogs as well and am strong enough to keep control of them when needed. I am not certified as an animal trainer, though through my life, I have gained practical experience and knowledge of teaching basic commands and tricks for younger or older dogs. I frequently helped care for my mom's dog who was blind and had mobility issues. I have also cared for numerous older dogs and dogs with special needs through Rover. I currently work overnights, so I will have availability for almost any time every day and most weekends. I will keep my schedule as up to date as possible. I have just recently moved to a new house where the front yard is filled with goldenrod for the bees. It doesn't look like a typical yard so I wanted to just give that heads up! When boarding and/doing day care I like to stick to the animal's usual schedule as closely as possible. I enjoy taking dogs to a dog park and walking on the trails around there. I also live in a neighborhood that is walking friendly and there is a large back yard for running/playing in. For overnights, your dog will not be alone. Someone will always be at the house with them. At your house, I will follow the rules of the house and, again, keep the animal's routine as close to usual as possible.
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.
“Amber was awesome with our dog! She dog sat for us when our dog was recovering from getting neutered. Our dog is very energetic and she did so well keeping him calm and bringing activities to keep him occupied. We were very impressed with her care!”
“Julie was great! She walked my dog regularly, sent photos, I could see how comfortable and happy he was, she was accommodating of my schedule, we video chatted before we booked the sit. I was completely comfortable on my trip, knowing my dog was getting the best care possible.”
About: I have never lived without having both a dog and a cat in my house. Current residents include 2 dogs and 2 cats, but my family has fostered cats/kittens for about 8 years and dogs/puppies for about 5. I have taken care of neighbor's pets for both drop-in visits and extended care periods. I am currently in Graduate School and missing my animals so I would love to come visit yours!! I'm currently taking classes for my Graduate program on weekdays and I would love to use pet care as a break from homework in the evenings or weekends! I have experience with animals with many different personalities, and I have developed the skill to adjust my approach to each pet to match what they need from a caretaker. Trust between me, you as the owner, and your pet is incredibly important to me, so I am happy to learn how to best support each dog or cat's safety and happiness!
About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I grew up with long haired dachshunds. I have also owned labs, a Dalmatian, huskies, you name it. I love big cuddly dogs the most, but will love up on the smallest to the biggest dog the same. I also have a big heart for senior pets. I am pretty flexible with my ability to do drop in care with cats and dogs. I have the ability to stop in during the days, evenings and weekends. I can do dog walking as well. I would love to do house sitting when my schedule allows. When I go to someone's home to care for their pet I will treat it as though it is my own pet, which is with the utmost care, kindness and love. I have a huge heart for all living beings including animals and humans. I am highly responsible, and responsive.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Duluth
Livi took such great care of our senior Lab for an entire week! Our old girl needs daily meds, short but frequent activity and follows a very regimented schedule. Livi stayed at our house and was not phased at all! She sent us happy pictures, kept us up on what was happening at home and left the place spotless upon return. Our pup was relaxed, tired and happy. Clearly she had an awesome week! Livi is an excellent communicator, obviously loves animals, is flexible and very friendly! We will definitely be requesting her services again soon!!
We could not have asked for a better person to care for our pets and our home while we were away. We were nervous to leave, as we have never left them for such an extended time period, but Sav completely put our nerves at ease. She was calm, responsive, and knowledgeable. We loved that she looked at the whole picture, and not just the physical care. She was professional, considering the emotional needs of our anxious pup as well as keeping up with training and exercise. It is apparent that she does not do this as a side gig, but is truly a pet care professional. She lived in our home during this time and left the house as clean as when we handed it over to her. Thank you Sav, we will reach out again!
Best experience EVER! Laken is the most caring, thoughtful dog sitter we’ve ever had. Sent daily photos on where she took my dog and was super understanding when our A/C broke and it was 87°. I can’t wait to leave on another trip just so I can book her. She’s absolutely wonderful. Bonus points: I came home to a clean house, watered plants and a happy dog
Ashley took excellent care of our dogs. One of our dogs is leash-reactive and Ashley immediately understood how to relate to him and support him. Ashley is clearly highly experienced with animal care, and she took care of our dogs like they were her own. We came home to a clean house and two relaxed, happy dogs. Would highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Duluth is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $66 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 146 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 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.
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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
