“Nicole was great! Communicative, shared lots of pictures from the check in, and even went the extra mile to keep an eye on and water started plants for our garden. We will definitely book again!”
“Peter has been very responsive to our requests (even with late notice) and he is punctual. He takes the time and care to take our pup for a walk, makes sure she is able to eat some food, and goes potty. It’s the perfect midday break/interaction for her on days she is not at daycare. He always sends updates on their time and sends a picture. We have been grateful to have Peter help to care for our girl when we’re not home! Thank you, Peter!”
“I can’t recommend Ashley highly enough!!! She clearly has a passion for animals. She went above and beyond our expectations with our dogs. She was so patient with our puppy who is still leaning his manners and how to regulate his puppy energy. Ashley is a gem!”
“Courtney was so kind and welcoming while meeting my animals. She also took on the job very quickly and was great about communication! I could tell she is an animal lover to her core and my animals took to her quickly! Highly recommend Courtney if you need your animals cared for!”
“We absolutely loved Talia! She was able to help us out last minute when our last sitter fell through and gave us such relief with her updates and pictures. When we got home from our trip, we could tell that our pets were so happy and well cared for! :)”
About: I've been taking care of family and friends pets for nearly a decade. I love spending time and getting to know each individual animal and what makes them unique. I would love to treat your pet like my own. https://www.rover.com/sit/fial23278 I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of spare time to spend with your pet! I normally only work a couple hours Tuesday afternoons and Saturday mornings. I love long walks or time in parks as well as quiet time at home for whatever suits your pet best! I'm more than happy to do whatever I can to make your furry friend as happy as possible.
“Elyse was fantastic with my 2 dogs. She sent pictures after every visit. The pictures showed my dogs were being well taken care of. If I need a sitter again, it will definitely be Elyse.”
About: I love animals. My childhood cat was my bestie, my current cat (a 2-year-old cutie named Ghost) is my soul kitty, and I consider my friends’ pets my furry nieces and nephews. :) I’ve been pet sitting (dogs and cats) for friends and family for at least 15 years (probably longer!), and I truly love caring for their pets. I look forward to meeting your pets and giving them love, food, pets, walks, and playtime when you’re not able to. I work from home and have a pretty flexible job. Because of that, arranging drop-in visits or dog walks in the Duluth area will be easy. I work to create a calm, safe atmosphere for pets, so they can get to know me on their terms and learn to trust me. I like doing drop-in visits because it allows the pet to be in their own space, where they feel most comfortable, while they get to know a new face. :)
About: Hi there! I'm Adela. I've had dogs and cats in my life since I was tiny, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all personalities, ages, and energy levels. I recently completed my MBA and am waiting to begin a remote role at the end of July, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, medications, playtime, and cuddles. I've also volunteered with the Animal Humane Society and a wildlife rehabilitation center, experiences that deepened my understanding of animal care and behavior. As an active Duluth resident who loves spending time outdoors, I'm happy to care for energetic pets who enjoy adventures as well as senior or more relaxed companions. My goal is simple: keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I recently completed my MBA and am waiting to begin a remote role later this summer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, medications, and companionship throughout the day. Feel free to share your pet's routine and needs, and we can chat about fit! My goal is to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines and respecting their individual personalities. Whether your pet enjoys lots of activity or prefers a quieter environment, I'll follow your instructions and provide attentive care. I love for pets to have as much freedom as possible, so if that fits in I'll be sure to incorporate it! My priority is ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
About: Hi! My name is Abigail, and I’m 24 years old. I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always felt like second nature to me. I have experience working with a wide range of pets, including dogs of all energy levels—from high-energy breeds that need structure and engagement to calm, easygoing companions like golden retrievers—as well as cats with a variety of personalities. I’m comfortable adapting my care to meet each animal’s unique needs. I currently offer in-home pet sitting, providing attentive care in your pet’s familiar environment so they can remain comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I also provide basic training support and walking assistance, especially for owners who may need extra help keeping their pets active and well cared for. I’m open to caring for other animals as well, such as birds or reptiles, as long as clear instructions are provided to ensure their routines and needs are met properly. With availability during the second half of my week, I’m excited to grow my pet-sitting business long term. My goal is to earn trust, build strong relationships with both pets and owners, and eventually turn my passion for animal care into a full-time career. Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I look forward to connecting with interested pet owners and would be happy to answer any questions. Wishing you a wonderful day! I currently work the first half of the week but am available after 4 PM on Wednesdays and anytime from Thursday through Saturday. With this flexibility, I’m able to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets during my off days. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions provided by the owner. I keep a clean, pet-safe space, supervise pets at all times, and never introduce new animals without permission. In a client’s home, I respect their space and ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure. I pay close attention to pets’ body language and behavior to keep them comfortable and stress free. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners can feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
“Taylor is amazing! She was incredibly professional and communicative, giving timely updates and regularly sending pictures of our very happy cats. She went above and beyond to accommodate us during a storm-extended vacation and we couldn't have been happier with the care she provided. Part of me doesn't want to give this rave review because I don't want other people to have her booked during our future vacations, but alas, she really deserves it! 10/10, would book Taylor again.”
“Hannah did an excellent job taking care of our little black cat, Luchi. He is a very shy cat with new people, and Hannah was intentional about interacting with him gently and at his pace, and we really appreciated getting the pics of him each day”
“Stef is always very helpful when we need someone to watch our pets! She is easy to communicate with and fast to respond. She always sends us videos or pictures during her visits. We've booked with her multiple times! She's even gone above and beyond doing other things while she's here for her visits (grab mail etc) Thank you Stef!”
“Sav came to my rescue when I needed care for my 9yo Newfie following an unexpected health event of my father and sudden change in plans. Knowing my pup would receive high quality compassionate care allowed me to focus on my out of state family. Sav was responsive, attentive to detail, in tune with my senior pup’s needs, and her exceptional service brought me calm+confidence. I’m excited to have found a dependable new care giver that I can look to for future needs.”
About: I have taken care of my family dogs and cats since I was young. I got my own dog at 17, raising him as a new puppy. I also cared for my lab as he was getting ready to pass. I love all dogs, big or small. I have 2 cats with my boyfriend and love laser games and playing with cat toys. I am a former college athlete and love being active, especially with animals. I am going to be starting medical school at the University of Minnesota this fall. I love long walks and playing with animals. I have a flexible schedule to stop in and care for your sweet pets. I have grown up with small, medium, and large dogs and have learned how to handle and walk all of the appropriately. I have 2 cats now, that love playing with lasers and are easy to handle. I have handled cats when they are uncomfortable and know how to avoid injury and clear the cat from a stressful situation. I will do everything to protect your pets and provide them with quality care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Duluth
Brianna was a fantastic companion for our two cats! She was very friendly and enthusiastic during our meet-and-greet, and she shared multiple photos and updates each time she was in the house. I would not hesitate to book her the next time we need a cat sitter.
This is the second time I’ve booked Nelle to watch my cats. She does a great job making sure the boys are fed, watered and have clean litter boxes. My anxious cat needs meds twice a day so knowing Nelle is on top of that is such a relief. He may not accept any pets from her, but my other cat loves to sit with her and get some attention while I’m away. I will definitely book with Nelle in the future.
Gabrielle is a dream pet sitter. She was responsive and communicative throughout the booking process. Her photo and video updates were invaluable as it gave us peace of mind that our kitty was well taken care of while we were traveling. We highly recommend Gabrielle!
This was our first time having anyone watch our dog. He’s terrified of everyone. We have not had him at a kennel either, so we were a bit nervous. Our dog was friendly with Cassie right when she came to meet him! She was great and we know our dog was well cared for. We will definitely hire her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 234 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Duluth. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Duluth stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Duluth. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
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.
