“Sierra was amazing! She provided excellent customer service, professionalism and communication. She babysat our two boxer dogs Nash and Rose. Nash is newly adopted and has some challenging issues and she went above and beyond with them. She also stayed in constant communication with us by sending updates and pictures. It was nice to be able to take a trip and know that our pups and home were in good hands! Thank you so much Sierra!”
“Ashlyn was absolutely wonderful with our pups! She took great care of them and gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. She was dependable, caring, and made the whole experience so easy. We really appreciate her taking such good care of our fur babies and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. We would happily book with her again!”

“Leland is very nice. He was attentive to my girls 🐶🐶. Very punctual. Responded to messages quickly. He sent me photos of the girls while we were away and wrote about them too. I really appreciated that. I came home to a clean house and happy dogs. I will hire Leland again.”
“What a Blessing! Stephanie was awesome. She took excellent care of our dogs and house. She communicated daily. Our house was clean when we came home everyone was happy. We will definitely continue to use her and recommend her to anyone.”
“Very wonderful and took very good care of my 2 fur babies! Lots of pics sent to us and updates through out the days! If I ever need a sitter again I will get her again! We had her come to our home so they would be more comfortable.”
About: I’ve loved animals since before I could remember! I grew up in Scott on land with dogs, cats, horses, goats, birds, and fish! Now I have a border collie husky mix, he’s 4 years old. :) My work schedule differs every week so message me to see my availability. I consistently work from 7-4 Monday through Friday and the rest of the time will change! I have a very large unfenced yard where there is plenty of space for dogs to be themselves. I have plenty of toys that I could bring with me or have at my house for boarding. I could crate your dog if needed (not required at all).
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bismarck
This was our first time using Sierra and she was wonderful! We needed her for a last minute, week long, cat-sitting/house-sitting. I get very anxious leaving my cats with someone new but she made me feel at ease with lots of updates and pictures! Sierra was very patient with my stubborn girl kitty who doesn’t like strangers at all. She even cleaned, mopped, and did the laundry so everything was perfect when we got back! Thank you so much for taking such good care of my babies!
Sierra sat for my parents, their home, and their two dogs, and she completely exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, she gave us total peace of mind. She was proactive with communication, sending frequent updates and photos of the dogs looking happy and relaxed. On top of giving the dogs top-tier care and affection, Sierra left the house immaculate—taking care of the laundry, vacuuming, and watering the plants. Entrusting someone with your parents' home and beloved pets can be nerve-wracking, but Sierra proved instantly that she is reliable, respectful, and deeply trustworthy. We will definitely be booking her again!
Sierra was amazing! The moment I met her when we did our meet and greet, I knew she was the only person I could trust with my babies! I am a widow and have not traveled since I lost my husband 5 years ago so this was a big deal for me and leaving my babies was so hard but after meeting her, I knew they would be a great hands!!! She bathed them for me and took one of them to my elderly friend's house almost every day for visits. I came home after a long emotional trip as it was the 5-year anniversary of losing my husband to find my house cleaned and a table of gifts for me and my babies. I have cameras in my house so I could check in and see her playing and giving nonstop love to my babies. Now I know this is the first trip of many to come because I have her to watch over my them. I am a total dog mom so my babies are my World especially after losing my husband so finding someone to care for them was a scary process, but Sierra made it so perfect and easy!!! I adore her and highly recommend her!!!

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.
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 Bismarck 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 Bismarck 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Bismarck 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
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.
