“Marissa was amazing! I have two sick elderly cats, and Marissa was fanominal with them. She sent daily detailed updates as well as multiple photos. I felt at ease with my kitties in her care!”

“Morgan was awesome! She was very detail oriented and consistently communicated with me during the visits. I would recommend her to everyone who is looking for a reliable sitter. She’s a rockstar!”

About: I’ve had a love for animals my entire life and have grown up caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and a wide variety of other pets. I currently have two cats, three dogs, and a flock of chickens of my own, so I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. When your pets are in my care, I treat them like my own—with plenty of love, attention, patience, and care. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away! I work Monday–Friday from 8:00 AM–4:00 PM, but I’m happy to work pet visits around my schedule! I’m available for visits before work, after work, and in the evenings, and I can be flexible depending on your pets’ needs and routine. I’m happy to communicate ahead of time to find a schedule that works best for both you and your pets. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own home, surrounded by their familiar sights, smells, and routines. When I care for your pets, I’ll follow their normal schedule as closely as possible—from meals and fresh water to potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, and medication if needed. I’ll also make sure their space stays clean and comfortable while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll give your pets plenty of attention and companionship so they feel safe, loved, and cared for until you’re home again.
“Keisha loved her time with Stephanie- we were gone during the coldest days of the year but they still played outside! She sent pictures everyday. I highly recommend stephanie!”

“Patty was absolutely wonderful! Personable, provided pictures and updates on the care. She gave a little extra love as well beyond the drop in and feeding. She was dependable, flexible, knowledgeable, and felt so good to know my pups were in good hands.”

“Raeann was an awesome sitter! My cats absolutely loved her and she returned the love. Raeann provided lots of updates and photos, and kept me in the loop with everything. She even left my place cleaner than I left it before I went out of town! I would highly recommend Raeann for your pet sitting needs!”

About: Bilingual. When I was born, my family already had a German Shepherd who was with us until 2005. Since then, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, turtles, and even chickens, learning how to adapt to pets of all ages and personalities. Had my first dog of my own in 5th grade and stayed with me until 2021, and along the way I also raised cats, rescued a turtle, and cared for both a parrot and a parakeet. I recently moved to Bismarck and, while I haven’t had my own pets this past year, I’ve been dog-sitting my relatives’ pups and dogs. Spending time with them reminded me how much joy animals bring and inspired me to help other pet parents feel confident knowing their furry friends are safe, loved, and well cared for. Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little bit about me. I look forward to meeting with you and your beloved family member. Will gladly provide picture updates of your furry friend. Currently work from home and can have some flexibility during lunch time with a 2day notice in advance. Preferably from 11:30/noon fwd. Free in the afternoon on weekdays & free most weekends. I am active and enjoy exercise and enjoy taking dogs on walks or short/slow jogs. Will take pictures of activities I do with your pet and would love to share them with you. Bilingual. I have a ~1/2 acre lot a fenced in backyard, corner house in a nice neighborhood. Have walking trails near our house. Multiple pet friendly neighbors and surroundings.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs in my house since I was born. I currently own 2 dogs, Finn & Sasha. I have experience from small dogs to extra large dogs, elderly dogs and puppies, calm dogs and ones that crave chaos. Whatever category your dog fits in, I’m your person. I’ve dealt with dog reactivity and gone through training with that as well. I currently work a 9-5. I am able to do morning walks and drop in before, as well as after. My weekends typically have more availability. I make sure that your dog will feel safe and comfortable with me. Creating a strong bond is very important, especially with dogs that like a schedule. I’ll respect your home like it’s my own. I’m excited to meet your fur child.
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs since I was a little girl. I have always had kitties and I have had 3 dogs in my life! One of my kitties lived until she was 19 years old, so I am very well versed in taking care of senior pets. I love getting to meet new animals and getting to know them while getting to be their safety when their family is away! I am currently in the accelerated nursing program at NDSU, I have class every Tuesday and Wednesday from 9am-12pm, so I am available for pet sitting after 12pm on those days. I have clinical every Thursday from 5am-2pm, and will be available after. Every Monday and Friday are free for the most part and the weekends are also free for the most part! I always make sure to get familiar with the layout of the house that I an pet sitting at to make sure I am fully aware of where pets will go and where they could potentially be hiding. I also make sure to go outside when I am dog sitting to observe the dogs and make sure they are okay while their parents are away!
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!
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: Hello, my name is Delaney. I live with my husband Alex in Bismarck. We have a 3 year old Jack Russel mix named Mortimer, a 2 year old cat named Sprig, and a new little guy named Greg. He’s also a JRT mix. He’s pretty high energy at the moment, but he gets along with all dogs very well, and he is up to date on all vaccines. I have experience caring for all sorts of pets. I was in 4-H dog club for 5 years as a teenager, where I was trained in many aspects of dog care and training. I also volunteered at a dog shelter for several years. Throughout the years I’ve had cats, birds, hamsters, fish, dogs, chickens, and a pig. We have a clean, spacious house surrounded by a fully fenced-in yard. We are fully stocked with dog toys, bowls, leashes, and grooming supplies. I recently left my full-time job as an interior designer to commit to pet care. I have a fully flexible schedule to spend as much time with your babies as possible. I’m a big advocate of brain games and I love using Licki mats to help mentally stimulate them with frozen treats like goats milk and other natural, raw foods. All other treats are wholistic and without soy, corn, wheat, or byproducts. We have plenty of safe toys available of all different types. We only use plant based and natural cleaning products as well.
About: I’ve had years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. Confident in handling walks! This is a side hustle to help pay for my college fund, and I’m also working with remote jobs so I have a lot of free time. When I care for pets in their own home, I stick closely to their regular routines to help them feel safe and relaxed. I follow detailed instructions for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and bedtime routines. I also keep the home clean and tidy, give regular updates with photos/videos, and make sure your pet gets lots of attention and comfort while you’re away. I treat your space with the same respect I would my own.

“Matia was great with the dogs. I never once worried if they were being taken care of. The dogs absolutely loved her. She sent us videos and photos of them at each visit. She was also very understanding when we had to cancel a few visit due to my husband schedule being changed. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. She is amazing.”

About: I have been taking care of animals all my life. I currently have a Labrador retriever who has had tplo so I understand complex animals and their needs I enjoy taking care of animals in many different life stages as they are all important. I usually work 4-3pm most days but I have a 30 minutes lunch I can use to potty your dog and even go before work in the early hours if needed I can/am willing to give and do many tasks including walking, feeding, medication administering, cleaning up, and taking outside/pottying. I love to cuddle and play with dogs so I’m willing to spend a little extra time to bond with them!

About: I grew up around dogs and have always loved them! I fostered and adopted my dog Holly a little over a year ago. Since then, I’ve come to learn that all dogs deserve patience and extra love! I work from 7am to 4pm Monday through Friday, but I take an hour lunch and would have time to pop in and check on your pets throughout the day! I have a fenced in yard so she can roam around wherever. She gets fed once in the morning and once at night, but she has a chicken allergy so I’m picky with her food.

Thanks for doing such a great job! Oh, and he sends pics and vids which i looooooooved!! c ya next time , Jeff!!
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!

Sara is great. She took the time to stop in for a pre-trip meeting just to make sure we went over everything. That made me feel so much better about leaving my little buddies for a few days. Sara's check in reports are very detailed. This is a huge help. I know how they are doing, I can address something early, if i have to, and I know what to expect when I get home. She takes extra care with my cats and makes sure that they are not just fed but that they get attention and affection. They love her! I have a very energetic kitty and she handles him so well. He is a handful on the best days and she makes sure he's got the attention and exercise he needs. Just a great person and a great sitter. :)

Raeann was an awesome sitter! My cats absolutely loved her and she returned the love. Raeann provided lots of updates and photos, and kept me in the loop with everything. She even left my place cleaner than I left it before I went out of town! I would highly recommend Raeann for your pet sitting needs!

Karen has been great! I've had her care for my cats multiple times. She's been very flexible and willing with her schedule when I've asked last minute and when something came up and I needed to cancel some visits and return home earlier than expected. She takes good care of my boys and I will definitely ask her 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.

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! 🐾🎄

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .

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.
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.
