“Marissa was fantastic! She spent quality time with our two large dogs at each visit and communicated well. Everything was perfect and smooth - I'll definitely book with her again when we need it.”
“Morgan was awesome! She was very detail oriented and consistently communicated with me during the visits. I would recommend her to everyone who is looking for a reliable sitter. She’s a rockstar!”
About: I have been taking care of animals all my life. I currently have a Labrador retriever who has had tplo so I understand complex animals and their needs I enjoy taking care of animals in many different life stages as they are all important. I usually work 4-3pm most days but I have a 30 minutes lunch I can use to potty your dog and even go before work in the early hours if needed I can/am willing to give and do many tasks including walking, feeding, medication administering, cleaning up, and taking outside/pottying. I love to cuddle and play with dogs so I’m willing to spend a little extra time to bond with them!
About: I’ve had a love for animals my entire life and have grown up caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and a wide variety of other pets. I currently have two cats, three dogs, and a flock of chickens of my own, so I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. When your pets are in my care, I treat them like my own—with plenty of love, attention, patience, and care. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away! I work Monday–Friday from 8:00 AM–4:00 PM, but I’m happy to work pet visits around my schedule! I’m available for visits before work, after work, and in the evenings, and I can be flexible depending on your pets’ needs and routine. I’m happy to communicate ahead of time to find a schedule that works best for both you and your pets. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own home, surrounded by their familiar sights, smells, and routines. When I care for your pets, I’ll follow their normal schedule as closely as possible—from meals and fresh water to potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, and medication if needed. I’ll also make sure their space stays clean and comfortable while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll give your pets plenty of attention and companionship so they feel safe, loved, and cared for until you’re home again.
About: I’ve had years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. Confident in handling walks! This is a side hustle to help pay for my college fund, and I’m also working with remote jobs so I have a lot of free time. When I care for pets in their own home, I stick closely to their regular routines to help them feel safe and relaxed. I follow detailed instructions for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and bedtime routines. I also keep the home clean and tidy, give regular updates with photos/videos, and make sure your pet gets lots of attention and comfort while you’re away. I treat your space with the same respect I would my own.
About: Hello, I'm Michaela! Ever since I was a child, I have had either a cat or a dog, whom I was responsible for feeding, walking, and cleaning up after. Needless to say I am a total Animal Lover. We live a fairly active lifestyle so if your pet needs to move, I'll tire them out before you pick them up. 3 of our favorite places to walk are the nature trail at McDowell Dam, the trails near Fort Lincoln - past Mandan, and the river trail behind Sertoma Park. If your dog is a social butterfly, I also enjoy going to the dog park. Anytime I care for any animal, I approach them with compassion and empathy. I pay close attention to the animal's body language and tend to their needs as they appear. I have worked with dogs and cats of all backgrounds. I am experienced in giving shots and meds. I have end of life care experience as well. Thank you for taking the time to read about me 🙂. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies soon! I work at a local Doggy Daycare/ Training Facility. If I'm working while your dog needs care, I can bring them to work with me! I have a fenced yard and two big, playful girls to keep your pup company. If it's not too hot or cold, we may take a fieldtrip to the dog park!
About: I love the outdoors and playing with dogs when i can! I am very clean and respectful person and would provide nothing but quality care for your animals. I would love to have dogs in my life, but am not ready for the full time commitment of having one of my own. Running, hiking, walking will all be part of the deal when I can. I am a full time student at NDSU Nursing through Sanford, and would love to make your dogs part of my free time! I was raised around many dog breeds ranging from Siberian Husky, Pit Bulls to little shih tzus! I am comfortable with any and all dog breeds and would love to meet all of your fur babies! I'm currently in nursing school - and I love to get out and enjoy the outdoors as I can and when the weather allows. With my schedule it would be hard to have an animal of my own but I would love to hang with your fur babies in the mean time. Unfortunately I don't have a private yard or anything for animals - and the best option would be to host your animals at your home in the comfort of their own space!
About: I grew up with cats and dogs, of all sizes and breeds. I have taken great care of family and friends' pets for years, whether at their home or mine. I treat them as if they are my own. Ask anyone who knows me... I'm a huge pet lover. You will never have to worry about your fur baby while you're away... he or she will be loved and taken great care of. If at my house, my family will love them up as well. I currently work part-time, a few days a week, so I'm available to take care of your fur baby/babies pretty much any time. Days I work, I'm available after 2 pm, if I'm needed at your home. If boarding at our home, my family and I work together, taking great care of your pets. We were a great team, all of us loving animals. I have a fence yard with a dog and a cat, who will keep your fur baby company. I will crate your pet, if needed. Your pet will have the freedom to roam the house, taking in all the new things. At your home, I will play and just sit and be present, if that's what's needed. I love to walk, so that won't be a problem, if your fur baby likes those too.
About: Hello, my name is Delaney. I live with my husband Alex in Bismarck. We have a 3 year old Jack Russel mix named Mortimer, a 2 year old cat named Sprig, and a new little guy named Greg. He’s also a JRT mix. He’s pretty high energy at the moment, but he gets along with all dogs very well, and he is up to date on all vaccines. I have experience caring for all sorts of pets. I was in 4-H dog club for 5 years as a teenager, where I was trained in many aspects of dog care and training. I also volunteered at a dog shelter for several years. Throughout the years I’ve had cats, birds, hamsters, fish, dogs, chickens, and a pig. We have a clean, spacious house surrounded by a fully fenced-in yard. We are fully stocked with dog toys, bowls, leashes, and grooming supplies. I recently left my full-time job as an interior designer to commit to pet care. I have a fully flexible schedule to spend as much time with your babies as possible. I’m a big advocate of brain games and I love using Licki mats to help mentally stimulate them with frozen treats like goats milk and other natural, raw foods. All other treats are wholistic and without soy, corn, wheat, or byproducts. We have plenty of safe toys available of all different types. We only use plant based and natural cleaning products as well.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs in my house since I was born. I currently own 2 dogs, Finn & Sasha. I have experience from small dogs to extra large dogs, elderly dogs and puppies, calm dogs and ones that crave chaos. Whatever category your dog fits in, I’m your person. I’ve dealt with dog reactivity and gone through training with that as well. I currently work a 9-5. I am able to do morning walks and drop in before, as well as after. My weekends typically have more availability. I make sure that your dog will feel safe and comfortable with me. Creating a strong bond is very important, especially with dogs that like a schedule. I’ll respect your home like it’s my own. I’m excited to meet your fur child.
About: There has always been at least one dog in my family since before I was born. I am now 21 years old, and I have 3 dogs of my own. I have been walking and dog sitting for just over a year now, and I absolutely love it. I even hope to one day open my own walking/boarding/daycare company for dogs. But that probably won’t happen for a while, so for now I’m just trying to rack up as many practice hours as I possibly can, and learn about dogs as much as possible. There is something new to learn with every walk and every sitting job, and I would love to have the opportunity to learn about your dog and hang out with them!
“It was the first time ever having the sitter come to the house for drop-ins. Zeus took to him right away but later decided to be stubborn and plant his big butt when Bradyn tried to get him back in the house. Bradyn was very patient and kept trying until he succeeded. He took very good care of our 127 lb furbaby.”
About: For the past 8 years, I’ve been caring for pets with the same love and attention I give my own. My experience includes everything from daily walks and playtime to feeding routines, medication reminders, and keeping pets calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and activity levels—shy pets who need patience, energetic pups who crave interaction, and seniors who need a gentle, steady hand. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs and always prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. Whether it’s sticking to a detailed routine, offering extra cuddles, or providing plenty of exercise, I make sure every pet feels secure and cared for. Pet parents can count on me for reliable updates, thoughtful attention to detail, and a warm, trustworthy presence. Pet sitting is my full-time job, so I’m able to give your pets plenty of time and attention throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I’m flexible with scheduling to match your pet’s normal routine. Since I don’t have pets of my own right now, I happily get all my cuddles, playtime, and companionship from the pets I care for. Your fur babies get my full focus—and lots of love—every visit. Most of my pet care takes place in the pet owner’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and can stick to their normal routine. I’m also open to boarding for pets who do well in a calm, indoor environment. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I make sure all outdoor time is safe, supervised, and on-leash. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 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.
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.
