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!
About: I’m a caring, dependable, responsible, detailed, age mature pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and needs, so I provide patient, personalized attention. I’m comfortable caring for young pets who need extra guidance, energy, and supervision, as well as senior pets who may need a little more patience, comfort, and gentle care. What sets me apart is my commitment to making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and giving each pet the same care I would want for my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m committed to making sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship they need. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets throughout the day. I plan my day around the pets in my care, making sure they have regular meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m also able to provide extra care and check-ins when needed, depending on each pet’s routine and individual needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal schedule and keep them comfortable while their owners are away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I follow each pet’s normal routine and pay close attention to their behavior, feeding, exercise, and overall well-being. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I treat the home with the same respect and care I would give my own. I make sure doors and gates are secure, pets have fresh water, and their living areas are clean and comfortable. I’m also attentive to any special instructions provided by the owner. I understand that leaving your pet with someone is a big responsibility. My goal is to give both pets and their owners peace of mind by providing dependable, compassionate, and attentive care.
About: I have grown up with just about any type of furry friend you can think of, from dogs, to cats and horses. I currently have my own corgi puppy, and take care of my family and friend’s animals when they are traveling. I also have a degree in Animal Science and so as you can imagine I am passionate about my pets—I look forward to taking care of your fur-babies like they are my own. I’m currently working part time and my schedule varies from days to nights on shift. However I can generally adjust my schedule per week as needed. I am very detail oriented and will follow your directions to a tee. I would say that I am more meticulous about caring for others animals than anything.
“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.
About: I have been asked by many close friends or neighbors to take care of their dogs. I am experienced in working with all sizes, breeds, and personalities of dogs. I currently am a student at University of Mary and I have an evening job which takes up a good amount of my time, but I love animals and am in need of work, so I found this opportunity to be very fitting. I am mostly available earlier in the day (mornings/ afternoons) I ensure to respect others living space and make sure to carefully follow instructions that are left for me regarding others pets and their care.
About: I have 2 dogs myself, and have had at least 1 my whole life! I often get asked to watch my neighbors, cousins, and friends dogs and cats! I will give your pet all the love, or space that it needs. I’m currently a student and working part-time, but I have a lot of free time. I am available to come in between classes and in between work so that your pet isn’t alone for too long. Being in your home, I will make sure I know where everything is that is needed for the pet. I also am very good at remembering their needs! I always make sure to take care of other things too such as garbage, mail, etc. I have experience with blind, abused, energetic, anxious, old, and young animals!
About: I am currently the dog mom to an 8 year old Hungarian Vizsla and 3 year Pembroke Welsh Corgi. I enjoy staying active with them going on dog walks, playing fetch and getting in our snuggle time too. I cherish the time spent with them and value the trust others have put in me to care for their loved ones as well, as if they were my own. If welcomed, I enjoy interacting with the pet owners as well, sharing photos, video updates of interactions to give them peace of mind that their loved ones are being well taken care of while they are away. I have primarily flexible home schedule and am generally available for drop ins within a 3 mile radius of my home base. I may also be available outside that area depending on the frequency of visits needed. In your home (if possible, I would prefer to meet pet(s) and receive instruction prior). If in my home (I do require that the pets meet/interact prior to booking to ensure it is a good fit). I have a fully fenced yard with dog doors for ease of access and two friendly dogs in my home. I also have the ability to crate or separate dogs if needed.
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’ve taken care of animals of all sorts, born and raised on a farm, with a deep love for animals. I love the bonds of friendship one can have with an animal and am currently going through a life change that doesn’t allow for me to have a pet of my own at this time. I’m excited to have the chance to spend time around animals again through this service. I love getting to know all sorts of animals just as I do people and my day is brightened by being with them. My schedule is flexible as I’m a homeschool mom of three. I’m unable to pet sit it in my home at this time but hope to in the future. For now I’m happy to come to your home or take your animals out for a bit of play, fun and exercise. I create an environment of safety and love for your pet. I’m careful to help them feel safe in my presence and wherever I am asked to care for them.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bismarck
Morgan was WONDERFUL! I had to find a visit with less than 24 hour notice due to my normal sitter having a family emergency while I was already out of town for work. Morgan was super flexible when plans changed at even more of the last minute when we found out my truck driver husband would be home earlier than expected. I will gladly book with Morgan again and again!
KayLee helped us out, pretty close to last minute for a drop in, and what huge relief! She made us feel comfortable and asked a lot of questions about our dogs before we confirmed the booking. Not feeling anxious about someone else caring for my babies is priceless! We will definitely reach out to her again for future needs.

- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

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!
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.

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 .
