“Tanna was amazing with our dogs & cat. She gave special attention to each one including playtime. Her compassion for animals is unmatched. She was gracious in our home & beyond trustworthy. Anyone lucky enough to hire Tanna should do so without any worries. We hope we'll be able to book her again another time!”
“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!”
“Bailee was wonderful! We had a meet and greet prior to her staying with our pups for 4 days and I could tell we had nothing to worry about. We definitely will book with Bailee again.”
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: 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.
“Miranda was absolutely excellent. She took care of our dog and home for a week while we were away. If you need someone who you can trust and count on I’d definitely pick Miranda.”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for cats, dogs, bunnies, and other pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate to care for your furry, feathered, or shelled family members. I have experience with giving pets meds if needed and will be sure they are loved and cuddled. I provide in-home pet sitting so your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings while you're away. Because I work during the week days, I am best suited for pets that can be left alone during normal business hours. I will visit or stay in your home before and after work to provide feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medications if needed, and plenty of affection and companionship. Your pets will receive loving care, attention, and a consistent routine while you are away. I understand that every animal has unique needs, and I will follow your instructions carefully to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am happy to provide updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. As a devoted pet owner myself, I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. I understand that pets are family, and I will care for yours with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own animals. Whether your pet enjoys cuddles on the couch, playtime in the yard, quiet companionship, or simply having a reassuring presence nearby, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. I take the time to get to know each pet's unique personality, routines, and preferences so that their days remain as normal and stress-free as possible. I will provide plenty of affection, attention, exercise, and gentle care, along with feeding, fresh water, and any special instructions you provide.
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I lived in the country so we had lots of pets growing up. I would give them food and water everyday. I have a cat of my own. If I could, I would have a lot more animals but I live in an apartment so I can't! I thought doing Rover would allow me to watch pets while still living in an apartment. I will ensure to give my full attention to your pets. I do have a cat but she loves animals and will do no harm.
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.
“Ariel was great! Took Fantastic care of our hoard of animals and made sure that our home was perfectly intact when we got back from our Christmas vacation. We appreciated all the photos and updates she sent every day!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bismarck
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!
Rebecca was fantastic with our dog and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter! I’m always anxious leaving our dog when we go out of town, but I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. He got lots of exercise and attention. She kept us updated on everything going on and let us know when she left the house and when she’d be back. I’m very grateful that my dog could stay in his own home while we were gone and was well taken care of!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bismarck
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bismarck on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 34 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bismarck. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
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.
