“Jayden is THE best. This is the second time she's stayed with our 2 🐕 🐶 girls within about 2 weeks, and she did amazingly both times. One of our dogs is fairly challenging, and she handled her like the pro she is. Thank you again Jayden! Highly recommend!”
“Talia did a great job! Our dog Ciara was very happy and seemed well cared for. House was in great shape upon our return. We appreciate the numerous message and pictures we received. Thanks again Talia!”
“Kim watched Beau during my first night away from our new space and I knew he would be in great hands! Kim was communicative, caring, and respectful! Highly recommend her as a sitter :)”
About: Hi my names Eva, I have lived with dogs my entire life (mainly German Shepherds). I regularly go hiking, and I walk at least 4 miles everyday. I worked at a pet store for 3 years, and am dedicated to giving pets the best care possible. I am currently going to college, and I have a part time job. In between classes and on days I have off I will be able to stop by to take care of your pets and walk them. I can come over to let dogs out to go to the bathroom, feed them, simple check in, and walk them. I am dedicated to fitting you and your pets needs.
About: I have had pets my whole life and have been dog sitting for 3 years now! I have taken care of dogs all ages and with that has come many different routines I have adapted to ensure they are feeling the best they can, from special meal recipes to different amounts of exercise (from a short walk around the neighborhood to playing fetch in a field for running and getting energy out) One thing I love to do during my visits is send pictures throughout my stays to you so you can feel less worried knowing they are doing great + to see the faces you miss the most! I completely understand that the worst part about doing something is leaving your loved ones behind so my goal is to make sure everyone feels safe and happy! I love to give all the snuggles to help them feel loved while you’re gone! I am currently a sophomore at UMD so I am available for boarding or to pop over for a visit/walk during the weekends and weekdays in the morning until 9am and after 3 pm! I have had many different environments while pet sitting, so I am great at kenneling them up, or making sure they can’t get into any trouble (or garbage) while being out!
“Our 2nd time booking with Alexandra and things could not have gone any better! Our furry boys love her!! The house is in perfect order when we get home too. This time we were running a bit late coming home & she offered to come over one last time & feed them both so they didn't have to wait too far beyond their normal feeding time. So nice! She will be my forever sitter that is for sure.”
“Macy was awesome! She took on 2, two-year old, large, energetic dogs with ease. From cleaning up messes, to playing with them regularly, and making sure they were fed, she had it all covered! It was incredibly reassuring to have our dogs in her hands while we were away and we highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a responsible sitter!”
“Liz was great with our dogs from beginning to end of booking. She communicated great, came for a meet and greet, asked appropriate questions to ensure the schedule and training was the same. During the stay she sent updates and photos. The house was exactly as we left it upon our return m. Definitely recommend Liz and hope she will sit for us again.”
“Emily was great! We have a really young dog and a really old dog… with very different personalities. Emily did great with them! The house was in great shape when we got back and the pups were happy and healthy! She was a great communicator. Will definitely use her as a dog/housesitter in the future!”
“Paula provided fantastic care and outdoor adventures for our trail-loving dog, as well as great pictures and feedback for us! It allowed us to completely focus on and enjoy our trip knowing that Zoey was in such good hands.”
“Tatum was great! She went above and beyond caring for our senior dog and house for the weekend. During our initial meeting, she asked questions and made me feel comfortable and confident that we'll be leaving our dog in caring hands. I very much appreciated the daily updates, including photos, and coming back to a well cared for pup and house. 100% would recommend Tatum to anyone!”
About: I’ve watched a variety of dogs, from small chihuahuas to large Great Danes! I love walking dogs and getting them the movement they need, a tired dog is a happy one! I also love cats and chickens :) I am a college student looking to help when I can! I miss caring for my animals back at home so helping others really floats my boat! I like to abide by the preferences of the owner since everyone’s care looks different, I can crate your dog if you like and take them on long walks so they are more at ease
“Sav was very accommodating and knowledgeable about large breed dogs. We felt very comfortable with her taking care of our fur baby. We will be utilizing her services again. Highly recommend.”
“We love Ashley! She does a fabulous job and really takes care of our high energy boy. She also sends lots of pictures and keeps this helicopter mom feeling relaxed!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Duluth is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Duluth
Talia did an amazing job taking care of my shy cat (former barn kitty who is skittish with new people) while I was away from home for a few days. She came for a meet and greet beforehand, kept me updated throughout each day I was away, shared photos, asked questions, and went above and beyond basic tasks by taking care of house chores. She’s truly a caring person who knows how much fur babies are loved by their owners. It takes a wonderful person to understand and have patience with their little personalities and needs. I appreciate knowing my cat was in such caring hands while I was away!
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!
Stacie was fantastic! She was flexible and helpful in supporting a slightly unusual situation for our newly adopted dog for a long booking. She sent updates and made Clover really comfortable. We came home to a happy pup! And my plants look great. Thanks Stacie!
She was here and took care of our dogs as promised! Left our home looking the same as we left it. No issues! Offered to stay a little later if we had issues getting home since the weather was getting bad when we were suppose to land. Would book with her again if she is available next time we need a sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Duluth on Rover is $38.85 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 153 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
