About: Six years of life with a large dog will teach you things no certification can. I know what it means to be fully committed to an animal — the routines, the quirks, the way a big dog takes over your couch, your schedule, and your heart. That hands-on experience is what I bring to every sit. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my day — it’s built into it. I work from home full-time, which means no long stretches alone for your dog and flexible walk times that adapt to their needs rather than a rigid schedule. We also have a fully fenced yard with open-door access throughout the day, so dogs can move in and out freely and get fresh air and exercise whenever they want — no waiting, no scheduling. Your dog stays in a real home environment — not a crate, not a kennel. With a fenced yard, open outdoor access throughout the day, and someone home full-time, they’ll have space to roam, play, and relax on their own schedule. I follow your feeding, medication, and routine instructions closely and send regular updates so you’re never left wondering how they’re doing.
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: I am a dog mom/human mom :) I thrive on being both. I have experience both professionally and personally with dogs and cats. I can even handle a hamster or two! If you have multiple pets in your home, I will not charge more. I have experience giving insulin shots as well as oral medication if need be. I know how important having a trusted pet sitter is and I love providing that service to people. When I am with your pet, I treat them as my own. And trust me, mine is a very spoiled girl! Please contact me with any questions, I would love to walk you through the process and put your mind at ease!
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.
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.
“Rose did an amazing job taking care of my cats over Christmas. She went above and beyond by bringing them Christmas presents (cat toys) - so thoughtful! Communication was excellent; she sent prompt, detailed updates with photos at every check-in. Even though my cats are usually shy with new people, they warmed up to her quickly and clearly enjoyed her company. I plan to book with her again in the future and highly recommend her! 🐾🎄”
“Shrylle did a fantastic job with my two large dogs. WE had a short meet and great between the dogs and her about a week before I required someone to stop by and feed them and take them out to potty. Both my very protective dogs took a liking to her and when it came time for her to stop by while I wasn't home, she mastered it. I received great photo updates. Shrylle is reliable and friendly.”
About: In-home care for the furry companions who make a house truly feel like home. ♥️ Leaving our pets can be hard, so I approach every visit with both the pet and the pet parent in mind. I provide calm, routine-focused care that’s never rushed — whether that’s a slow, sniff-filled walk or quiet companionship. I pay attention to the little details, keep stress low and share regular photo updates so you can see your pet comfortable, happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: peace of mind for you and a visit that feels just right for your pet. I have experience with cats, dogs and exotic pets with a variety of temperaments and medical conditions, including asthma, allergies, heart conditions and anxiety. Pet care is intentionally woven into my daily routine so I can provide reliable, unrushed visits throughout the day. I schedule a limited number of clients to ensure each pet receives focused, attentive care, and I build my day around consistent check-in times, walks and overnight stays. This flexible structure allows me to be fully present during each visit, follow established routines and provide timely updates — including photos — so pet parents always know how their pets are doing. I take a thoughtful, gentle approach to pet sitting, focusing on consistency, comfort and trust. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, relaxed and well cared for — with plenty of belly rubs and head scritches along the way.
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!
“Chloe is fantastic! As a first timer- she answered all of my questions prior to the booking. I was a little nervous about someone coming into the home but having the frequent updates, pictures, and messages from Chloe were very reassuring. My dog loves their walks 🐶 - We were very pleased with Chloe!”
“Jacob was wonderful! He came over a few days before our trip to meet the pups and they instantly loved him. Jacob sent us daily updates and photos. We will definitely be using Jacob in the future!”
About: I have been taking care of pets for about 6 years! I also have experience with administering medications to animals. Taking care of animals is something I really enjoy doing! I don't work a lot so I am able to be flexible with drop off and pick up times. It also gives me more time to take care of your pet. I have a very large fully fenced in back yard and our pug loves to play with all her friends that come to stay !
About: I have a very active 3 year old bernedoodle at home. I have been taking care of her needs like walking, feeding, and potty breaks. I love going for walks and playing with any type of dog. I am not afraid of large dogs, but also love small ones! I have a very easy going schedule even though I am currently a full time student at the university of Mary and also participate on the UMary women’s soccer team. I can visit your pet between classes and practices. And can visit them at least every three hours. I am comfortable around the area of Bismarck since I grew up with family here. I am always okay with taking dogs for walks and playing outside, even in the North Dakota cold!

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.
Marissa is awesome! She kept me updated on our pups and was very communicative! There was storms and our boy hates them and he was so content with her and that makes me feel so much as ease! She even went above and beyond and gave us updates on any storm damage and we appreciate that’s sooo much! Can’t wait to have Marissa come back!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bismarck stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Bismarck with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
