“Melissa was great. She took very good care of my dog and was very communicative. She is taking my dog again in a few days and let me leave his bed with him since I have other beds at home!”
“Julie and her husband were awesome and took excellent care of Charlie! He went for lots of adventurous walks, got to sleep on a bed, on the couch, got treats, and was very spoiled!! 💖💖”
“Lefse seemed to have a great time! He got lots of walks, which are his favorite! We loved getting the updates with pictures every day. We would definitely feel comfortable having Lefse stay with them again.”
“Bradyn was easy to work with and he took the time to learn how to administer my senior dog’s diabetes insulin and also provide me with daily updates on how my dog was doing which was much appreciated. I will definitely rebook in the future if possible.”
“Made Snickers right at home. I was out of town and dealing with a family estate and Krystal was incredibly patient and willing to work with me and all other people who assisted with pick up and drop offs. Fantastic!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I currently have a chiweenie named Mya and often watch my parents special needs bichon who has Addison’s. I work straight weekends as a RN. Availability is M-T with the exception of some weekends upon request or if needing to extend time. Our home has a fenced in yard and minimal stairs. Can accommodate to dogs who need crating as well! Dogs must be good around kids and get along with our dog as well.
“McKenna was excellent and exceeded expectations! She took the time to learn my dogs commands and schedules! She also keeps you updated with photos! My boys enjoyed their stay with her and her dog Harper!”
“We highly recommend Christy as a dog sitter! She sent us regular photos and updates, took our dog on daily walks, and was more than happy to give her the medications she needed. She made the entire experience easy and stress-free for us. We felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in such caring and capable hands. We would absolutely trust her to watch our dog again!”
About: I’ve been around and loved dogs since as early as I can remember. I’ve owned and cared for a dog myself for over half my life and have experience in puppy training as well as senior dog care. I’ve worked as a kennel assistant at a dog boarding shelter and cared for a multitude of dogs. I understand how every dog is different and needs to be cared for in various ways depending on their needs. My love for animals continues to grow daily. I'm currently in school everyday from 8:30-2:30. After that I have many available hours of free time depending on what I have planned for that day. I’ve been unemployed for more than 3 years due to complications and unavailability and health complications, but now doing much better and having so much extra time on my hands. I thought that pet care would be a great fit for me right now and as it’s something I enjoy on a daily basis and have a passion for caring for animals. I have a fenced-in backyard with lots of room for them to run around and play, and/or lots of comfortable places for them to relax indoors. I will welcome any and every pet take them in and care for them to the best of my ability. making sure they’re getting the best care and love while they’re away from home. I know how hard it can be to trust your beloved pet with someone while you’re away but please trust and know I will care for them as I do my own, with love and respect until they’re back in your arms.
About: I’ve grown up around animals and can’t imagine life without them. I have two dogs—ages 5 and 1—and an 8-year-old cat who runs the house. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making them feel safe, loved, and at home while their people are away. Whether it’s playtime with an energetic pup or keeping a senior pet comfortable, I care for every animal like they’re my own. I work full-time Monday through Friday but can come home during my lunch break if needed. I’m home most weeknights and weekends, so your pet will still get plenty of attention and care outside of work hours. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard that is perfect for secure playtime and potty breaks. I share my home with two friendly dogs and a cat, so your pet is welcome to socialize or have their own quiet space if preferred. I also have kennels and pet gates available to ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable when separation is needed. We have a toddler in the home, and I am intentional about maintaining a calm, well supervised environment to ensure all interactions are safe and positive.
“Liz was absolutely amazing she treated my dog Sven like he was one of her own! She also kept me updated on how Sven was doing our whole trip! Liz was also very responsive and wonderful to communicate with!”
“Michaela did a wonderful job of watching our dog Charlie for a week. He was a little shy (I'm sure he thought we were leaving him) and she worked with him to make sure he felt safe and comfortable. She took cues from him on where he felt the safest to lay and sleep. She kept us updated on how he was doing and sent us pictures. We will definitely see if she is available the next time we need someone to watch him.”
“Adria was so incredibly nice to work with. She made me feel extremely at ease with leaving Koda with her. She sent pictures of Koda during her weekend stay and let me know how Koda was doing. Drop off and pick up were very easy as we had a “ get acquainted” meeting days before the time she would dog sit for me. I was impressed with Rover and Adria. Adria was also very helpful in helping me figure out the Rover process because it was my first time using the app. I would definitely recommend her for watching your fur baby.”

Heather watched Farley again for a couple days and we are so thankful for her! It gives me so much peace knowing he’s somewhere safe, loved, and well cared for while we’re away. She always keeps us updated and treats Farley like he’s her own. You can tell she genuinely cares, and that means everything to us. We never have to worry when he’s with her. Highly recommend Heather to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to watch their fur baby! 🐾💛

Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bismarck home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Bismarck.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Bismarck sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in ND ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
