“We were in Duluth for a long weekend with our dog and needed a sitter one morning. Peter and Barbara had such great reviews on Rover so I reached out to them. It could not have gone better. Peter came to our hotel to walk and feed Brody. I would highly recommend them! Thank you!!”
“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!”

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.

“She was very communicative and flexible while checking in on my cat. She sent very nice updates and pictures for me, which was very much appreciated. I will definitely look to have her check on my cat again in the future!”
“Kimberly always knocks it out of the park when taking care of my kitties. She takes the time to play and hang out with Smokey and Sherman and they absolutely love her visiting. Smokey is naturally shy and it still amazes me that he comes around for her! She's got a great, caring spirit and is always my go-to caregiver whenever I head out of town. Absolutely wonderful!”
“Courtnie is incredible! She cared for our dogs, one of which is a fairly recent rescue. She made such progress her. No one has ever been able to get close with her other than Courtnie. Courtnie gave us peace of mind. She is reliable knowledgeable, and caring. She is also clearly talented with training dogs and truly an animal lover. We have already rebooked with her and can’t wait to connect her with our pups again. Thank you Courtnie!”

About: I have several years of experience with Rover, and my family and I cared for dogs even before getting our own. I’ve developed a genuine love for working with animals and providing them with attentive, reliable care. I treat every pet like my own! Whether it’s helping a puppy learn good habits or giving extra care and patience to senior pets, I adjust to each animal’s personality and needs. I have helped train my golden retriever and handled his craziness ( he is 9 years old and has not calmed down one bit!). I’m dependable, communicative, and always focused on making sure your pet feels loved, safe, and stress-free. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine as a flexible part-time commitment that I can easily adjust around other responsibilities. I’m able to provide care in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely so the pet stays in their familiar routine.I also give regular attention, exercise, and updates so you know how your pet is doing.
About: I specialize in large dog breeds as I have 1 Pyrenees and 1 golden retriever myself. They are both very well trained and certified ESA’s. I don’t have any special skills such as pet training, just really good with dogs. I am a full time nurse and I’m off every other week. I would love to take/walk dogs on my weeks off. I have always had a dog in my family. I’d love to hang out with your furry friends! I have two big loving dogs to keep yours company. We will spend a lot of time outside hiking and going for walks! If your pet is not staying at my house we will still have fun going for runs, walks, or being outside.
“Wing took excellent care of our cats last month when we had to go out of town for a wedding. This month we had another out-of-state wedding and we went straight to Wing for kitty care. She did a great job again and sent us soo many wonderful cat pics on our report cards. We are very grateful to her — thanks, Wing!”
About: Hello! My name is March and I have a lifetime experience working with cats, and have been working with dogs for a few years. I love getting to know an animal and their personality. I know being separated from family can be scary for a pet so I will do my best to make them feel loved an supported while you are away! I have experience working with senior cats and dogs and administering oral medication. I am currently a college student at the University of Minnesota Duluth, and I work part-time at the theatre department there a few hours a week. I am most available in the afternoons/evenings, and Thursday-Friday are my most available days of the week. I will not be taking any animals into my home but if I care for your pets in your own home I will make sure they feel comfortable in their own space. My approach to pet care is that I try to respect an animals boundaries by giving them space while they are warming up to me, as I am in their home.
About: I’ve loved all sorts of animals since I was a young kid. From begging my parents for a puppy since I could speak, and going to friend’s houses who had pets, I always found a way to surround myself with animals. I have two dogs and two cats at home, who each have different energy levels. I love tending to the needs of all different ages and types of animals, whether that means going on a long walk or playing fetch, or giving some nice snuggles and pets for calmer animals. As a college student, I love to take a break from the daily grind and reconnect with other people and animals! I have a very flexible schedule, and can work with many different needs at this point in my life! I’m a student at UMD with a part time job and a flexible schedule! I am free sporadically through the day to check in with your furry friend, take a walk, and attune to their other needs as described by you. I am even more free in the evenings throughout the week to provide sitting for your animals in your home, or the same services I described earlier. Weekends are a great time to contact me too because I am frequently available to look after your pet(s). Ultimately, how I care for your pet depends on what you are most comfortable with and what the unique needs of your pet are. I have experience with crating my own dogs at home, and am more than comfortable doing that and taking any extra measures in your home that would make you feel even more comfortable leaving me with your pet! I also enjoy clean up spaces if that's something you're comfortable with.
About: Since I was young, my family has pet sat for many friends. I’ve also owned a wide range of animals throughout my lifetime that has sculpted my love of animals. I work full time at an office job, 8am-4pm. Drop in visits are no issue and will can happen in the morning, afternoon, evening, or a mix of all! Pet care works seamlessly into my daily schedule as I’m an early riser, and can walk/feed before work and after work! The animals I care for will be treated as if they were my own. I will treat your animals with the love and respect that I would want my own puppy to be treated with.

Pet 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 Pet Sitting in Duluth is $18 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 246 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
