“Jeff was a very good choice for us to leave Sammy in his care. He communicated with us on a regular basis and sent lots of pictures, which allowed us to enjoy our time away, knowing Sammy was comfortable. We were surprised at how quickly Sammy responded to Jeff. He is usually pretty shy. We will definitely rebook him.”
“Delaney was wonderful. She made me feel so comfortable leaving my four pets with her while we traveled. We all (animals + humans) were happy and enjoyed the time with her. She told me what was happening at home with mini updates and photos. The animals loved their time with her. I would hire Delaney again and again. She exceeded my expectations.”
“I had the pleasure of having Kristen watch our dogs, Leroy and Stella Blue, during our stay at the hotel in North Dakota. She did a fantastic job, ensuring their comfort and well-being while we were away. Kristen's attention to detail and genuine care for our pets were evident, and it gave us great peace of mind. We would not hesitate to hire her again on our next visit to North Dakota. Highly recommended!”
“Bradyn took excellent care of our little dog and she seemed to be comfortable with him. He cared for our fur baby and home for 50 hours and we were completely satisfied and pleased with the care he provided. Will be contacting him again the next time we need a dog/house sitter. We gave him a cash tip immediately when we returned home.”
About: My daughter loves dogs and is great at helping take care of them. We have two dogs and know how important it is to find good care for them when we can't and would love to help others with this. We decided to do a mom/daughter business 😀 My daughter is 10 so we are working on responsibility with money and working for it, along with having fun together! We have two dogs and know how hard it is to find people to help when you have plans. We would love to help other families with their pets. We will make sure your pets are safe and cared for and left safely when we leave your house. Pet safety is so important to us!!!
“Ashlyn took SUCH GOOD care of our dog. I felt very comfortable welcoming her into our home and having her care for our dog. She was responsive, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well cared for when we were out of town!”
“We've now have had Bailee her our pets twice, and we couldn't be happier. She stayed in our home for four days while we were in the hospital with our child. It was such a stressful time, and having someone we completely trusted caring for our pets and home gave us incredible peace of mind. She kept us updated with messages and photos, took wonderful care of our pets, and left our home just as we left it. It was clear our pets were happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away. We are so thankful for her kindness, reliability, and professionalism. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter!”
About: I've always had a special bond with animals and I've taken care of dogs and cats of every kind for over 11 years. Neighbors, friends and family have trusted me to treat their furry family member with the best of care when they can't be there. Pets love me too! I'm currently working part-time at home, so I'll have plenty of time to play and care for your pets! I'm available during the week after 2pm with special accommodations for those traveling during the week with advance notice and also on the weekends. My home is safe, secure, quiet and peaceful so your pets can enjoy the tranquility while you're away! There will be plenty of playtime, outside time and rest.
“Miranda is a total sweetie!!! Loving and kind, I couldn’t ask for anyone better to take care of my fur kids. I will definitely rebook with her for my next trip! Highly recommend her!!”
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.

The median cost per night for house sitting in Bismarck is $53

Delaney did a great job with our kitties. They can be a bit shy, but they really liked her. She made sure they played and got petted first and then took care of all the food, water, litter, etc. And, so important, our one kitty was recently diagnosed with diabetes and HAD to have her shots twice a day at the exact same time. Delaney was able to get the kitty to eat first and then give her the shots. It was such a relief to know someone was there who was concerned for their welfare and enjoyed spending time with them. Kitties are smart. They know when someone likes them. :) My kitties were very happy when we got home.
We've now have had Bailee her our pets twice, and we couldn't be happier. She stayed in our home for four days while we were in the hospital with our child. It was such a stressful time, and having someone we completely trusted caring for our pets and home gave us incredible peace of mind. She kept us updated with messages and photos, took wonderful care of our pets, and left our home just as we left it. It was clear our pets were happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away. We are so thankful for her kindness, reliability, and professionalism. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter!
Krista came to the rescue when our other house sitter cancelled at the last minute! Krista was quick to respond when I reached out on Rover and was very flexible when setting a time for a meet and greet. She was great about receiving and gathering all the necessary information at the meet and greet to prepare her and our pets for a successful stay. Krista sent messages and pictures during her stay and kept us informed of how things were going. Krista even made sure to take care of our pets working around her plans on New Year's Eve. She left our home very neat and our pets were very well taken care of! Remi soon warmed up to Krista and even played fetch with her. It was evident that she really cared for our pets. We would definitely have Krista stay again!

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 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 .
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 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.
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.
