“Jessica did such an amazing job with my senior cat! He has very unique needs and she met every one of them. After her first day with him, I felt very comfortable that he was in the best of hands! She gave him his oral medication without him even knowing! I would recommend her to anyone looking to know your pet is in good hands!”
“Pattie was great with our pups! We were so thankful she was available to help us with pretty short notice. We have two big, high-energy dogs and she was great with them!”
“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!”
“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!”
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.
“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: 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.
“Debbie was great with my shih tzu. I loved the pictures and updates I got of him while I was away at work. I was happy to know he was in good hands. I’ll definitely be using her services again.”
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 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 6 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: As a dedicated owner of both dogs and cats, I bring practical, real-world experience to pet sitting. I understand firsthand the daily dedication it takes to care for both species. My personal pet experience includes successful behavior training—like housebreaking and sidewalk manners for walks—as well as managing daily health routines, including administering medications twice a day using pill pockets. I treat my clients' pets with the exact same standard of care, whether that means keeping your dog on their bathroom routine, ensuring safe walks, or handling your cat’s unique daily needs and medications. Because I run my own business from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible. This allows me to easily structure my days around your cat’s specific routine. Whether they need a midday check-in, precisely timed medication, or just some extra companionship and playtime during the day, my flexible work-from-home lifestyle means I can be there exactly when they need me most. When caring for your cat in your home, my top priorities are safety, consistency, and respect for your space. During each visit, I ensure all basic needs are met—fresh food, clean water, and a meticulously scooped litter box. I also love accommodating their unique quirks, whether that means engaging in their favorite playtime routine or turning on the kitchen sink for a fresh drink! I am highly observant and strictly follow all household rules to ensure your home stays secure and your cat stays happy
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!
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Bismarck is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bismarck
Lexi was awesome! My cats absolutely loved her, and she was great with them. Lexi was very communicative, gave the boys lots of attention, and left my place cleaner than it was before she arrived! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for an awesome pet sitter!
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!
Sara was wonderful with my cats. I have a new addition to the crew and she was awesome about helping him do well during the first time I was away from him. They have a complicated feeding routine, and Sara took notes and then took great care of them. She sat with them and kept them company which they loved.
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! 🐾🎄
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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
