“Emmalee was very responsive and was great about sending daily updates and pictures of Indy. We're so thankful to have found such a kind, trustworthy dogsitter and we look forward to having Emmalee dogsit again!”
“Alyssa and Zach came to stay with my dog and cat while I was out of town. I knew that I could trust them to take care of my dog Lola. I had recently adopted her and wanted someone I trust to stay with her as she was still adjusting to new routines and places. They were so fantastic!”
About: Hi! I’m Paige, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have 10+ years of hands-on animal experience, from raising rabbits and sheep to caring for animals with very different personalities, routines, and needs. What sets me apart from a typical pet sitter is that my experience goes far beyond dogs and cats. I’m comfortable around farm animals and have experience with daily animal care, feeding, handling, grooming, and keeping a close eye on behavior and health. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their individual routine, personality, and quirks. Whether your pet needs an energetic play session, a calm companion, or someone experienced with animals who need a little extra care, I’m happy to help! I can fit pet care in on weekdays or weekends! As a college student, my schedule is very flexible and allows me to spend time needed with your pets! When caring for pets in their home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable in their own environment. I follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets have a clean, safe space while they’re in my care. There will NEVER be any guests. I also understand that every pet is different. I take the time to learn their individual habits, preferences, feeding routine, and any special instructions so they receive care that feels familiar and stress-free.
About: I love animals! I have been with dogs and cats my whole life, ranging from different breeds and sizes. I Have had yorkie, cocker spaniel and a Newfoundland as well. Experience with puppies and elderly dogs. No issues handling big dogs or small. Any age as well! Need some love while I’m in college without my dog. Let me know if you have any questions! I am a college baseball player for NDSU. My class schedule is almost all online so I am only gone for a max of 2 hours at a time. I can assure you I will have the time and dedication needed to make your furry friends feel at home. I am in a one bedroom apartment alone that is extremely quiet and secure. It is a high end apartment that is strict about no smoking, the security and environment suitable for pets.
About: I have a well trained puppy and have been working with my roommates dogs and cats for the last four years. I love to care for the fur babies. I work part-time at CCRI on weekdays so i can make ample time for your pet's routine. I can stop by as much as needed. I have a fenced backyard, a super friendly puppy and can have extra kennel if you need your dog to sleep in a crate/ kennel
“Nelson did a great job watching our four animals. Communication was clear, everything was handled responsibly, and we came home to happy pets and a well-kept house. Would absolutely book again.”
About: I have 2 dogs at home and I watch them a lot if my parents go out of town. I love any and all dogs! I am a preschool teacher in Moorhead, MN. I love dogs (and other animals) and I love playing with my two dogs I have at home when I visit. I am very responsible and I wouldn’t hurt any animal or human! I work 9-5:30 Monday-Friday but have availability before and after work. I feed my two dogs at night when I am home. We go on family walks almost every night when I am visiting and I always walk one of the dogs. I love to give belly rubs and ear scratches! I make sure that each dog is comfortable and happy!
About: I have had cats or dogs my whole life. Have loved animals as long as I can remember. I like animals more then most people. I have had 2 dogs in my life and both have passed away so I'm ready to love on other dogs without the responsibility of ownership I currently work full time but am free most weekends. I'm willing to feed, water and scoop litter. Can let dogs out before and after work some days. Animals seem to like me and I love to give pets and cuddles. I am experienced in health care so could give meds if needed
“Olivia messaged daily updates to let us know how our pup was doing, along with photos and videos as well, which was so reassuring for us as our first time using rover. We are very satisfied and would definitely book with Olivia again.”
About: I have had experience dog sitting since I was 10 years old. I grew up taking care of dogs in my neighborhood and my family, and I have experience sitting for dogs big and small! I am currently working a part time job and will have afternoons available to play with your pups! I also am available on weekends the full day to assist as needed. I know every pet is different, so I'll take the time to learn their routine and make sure they feel comfortable while you're away. I'll follow all of your instructions carefully, keep your home clean and secure, and give your pet lots of attention, playtime, and affection. I'll also send updates and photos so you always know how they're doing.
About: When people ask if I have any kids, my response is that I have dogs. My dogs are my family and yes I do celebrate their birthdays. I have had a dog in my house since I was 3yrs old. I have taken care of neighbors pets. I recently rescued a puppy from a farm and organized and found a fur-ever loving home for her. I am still in communication with her owner and get updated pictures. My dream growing up was to have as many dogs like in the movie "101 dalmations". I have taken care of puppies, kittens, bunnies, ferrets, goats, chickens, and ducklings. I am able to stay the whole weekend at owners home. I am able to walk dogs during the week and weekend. The latest drop-in visit I can do is 10pm. I give my full attention to the pets I am caring for. I keep them busy with play or just someone to sit by. I understand it is stressful not only to your pet but also to you as well having to leave them with someone or at a kennel, I feel the same way! I keep meals on schedule and I'm able to administer medications (orally- some need special ways to sneak in 😃). I send picture updates throughout my stay.
About: I have one 7 year old pup high energy and takes one pill per day so experienced in pulling on leash as well as giving out meds I would love to watch your pets I like going on walks and playing as much as we can through out the day ! ! I allow pets on furniture and can make sure they are taken care of. Can give medication to pets and am experienced in high energy pets

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dilworth
Julia did so good taking care of our dog while we were away. She gave us updates and the cutest pictures. Her communication is great and it was very easy to talk with her. We truly felt so comfortable and happy to have her taking care of our girl. We will definitely be rebooking again!
Megan was great with our 2 dogs! She kept in contact with updates and pictures and even went out of her way to give our injured dog the extra care and TLC he needed. When we got home our house was spotless, the dogs were happy and well taken care of and thats exactly what we were hoping for! We will 100% have her watch them again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Dilworth is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $61 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 120 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dilworth. 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 Dilworth 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 Dilworth 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 Dilworth 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
