“Lauren is great! I’ve used her a few times and my dogs really enjoy her. I don’t have to worry at all about them while she’s sitting for me and it’s such a relief to be able to take a trip and know my kids are safe and well cared for. She goes above and beyond for them.”
“Emmalee did a fantastic job taking care of my senior dog for 12 days while I was out of the country. I received updates often and was so great to see my dog while traveling. Emmalee cared for my dog and house like it was her’s and I will book with Emmalee again when the need arises.”
“Madeleine was so awesome! She kept me updated throughout her stay and gave my dogs the love and attention they needed. She’s super personable and just the best! Super thorough and very detailed! Highly recommend and I’ll definitely rebook with her if she’s free! Thank you!!”
About: I have always loved animals and animals have always loved me! I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I helped raise pitbull and mini poodle puppies and I've also helped raise kittens. I'm open to seeing more animals like birds and reptiles! I currently have an open schedule. This may change in a few days but as of right now, i can do anytime. As long as it's at the customer's house. I follow strict rules and procedures put in place for me in your home. I'll bathe your pets, feed them of course, give them love and affection and make sure they go to the potty. If it's a cat I'll make sure to scoop the litter boxes twice a day. I'll even clean your house if you want me to. I'll also make sure your pet stays hydrated and attend to any special needs they may have.
“Marissa was fantastic, and I was so appreciative of her availability on short notice. She sent great updates and pictures, too! I will definitely look to book Marissa again!”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was 5 years old! Which gives me lots of experience I have been around dogs my whole life and just love them. Training dogs to sit, listen and be potty trained and things I have done with all 3 of my dogs. I have watched my family’s and friend’s dogs. I love being active with dogs such as playing fetch going on runs and walks with them but won’t turn down cuddle either. I recently moved to the Fargo/Moorhead area and started Physical Therapy graduate school. I will be available to take care of dogs before, in between, after classes and on the weekends. My parents have 3 dogs who I took care of while I was home. I will take care of your dogs just as they were my own as well as be respectful of your house and rules for your dogs.
“First time using overnight care for my pups and couldn’t have gone better. She was very kind and very responsive to messages and questions! Very great experience and will be keeping her at the top of my list!”
“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: Since I was 12 I have non-stop taken care of dogs at any chance I got. I grew up wanting to be a veterinarian so that I could help dogs and animals. In my home town I would constantly watch dogs for family, my neighbors, and friends. From taking their dogs on walks to bathing them, I enjoy every minute of it. I’m a sophomore in college who absolutely loves all animals, dogs in particular. I do school online so I am very available every single day of the week. I do live in an apartment so not necessarily the ideal situation for a dog but I am more than willing to take them places for exercise. I do not have any pets at this time.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for a large majority of my life! It all started with my grandma who has been doing it for as long as I can remember. I would always watch and sit with her while she was dog and cat sitting for many years. I can do anything from walking, feeding, playing, cleaning up after, and overall making sure your pet is happy and healthy while you are away! I’m currently working on with kids Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 2-6 so part time, which I love! I also have classes at NDSU Monday, Wednesday, and Friday but only from 10-11:50 so pet sitting can easily fit into my schedule! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to create a safe, comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s needs. This includes feeding them on schedule, providing plenty of fresh water, giving lots of attention and playtime, and following any special instructions from the owner. I also keep their space clean and watch for any signs of health issues, so I can respond quickly if needed. Whether at my place or theirs, the goal is to keep pets happy, calm, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 years old, and I’ve worked over two years in doggy daycares. I am able to help train puppies, taking care of senior pups, and I also have basic grooming skills so if they need to get cleaned up I’m the one! I am available from Monday- Sunday and all times of day. I am available for walking, dog sitting, and can help out with basic training and grooming! I make sure dogs get to go outside often, having them get enough physical and mental stimulations , and making sure they get proper nutrition. I also make sure they get a bunch of love and the rest needed
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
About: I enjoy walking and being outside! I am currently a NICU nurse and only work 3 days a week so I like to find ways to be outside in my free time! I have experience with all sorts of breeds, ages and sizes. We just recently raised and sold a litter last fall! My dog went back home to be on the farm where she has more freedom! I am missing having a dog for sure! I enjoy using pets as a ways to get outside and exercise! I enjoy the happiness each dog brings me, and look forward to experiencing more! I am very good at following directions and pay attention to detail very carefully! I am very observant to each dogs needs and flexible to what they need!
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. My family had many hunting dogs when I was growing up and after graduating from college I ended up adopting five of my own dogs. I love and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. My dogs are all different breeds and sizes and vary in ages. I’ve worked as a groomer, a dog handler and trainer at a boarding facility, and have worked with various pet parents on nutrition and behavior training for their dogs. I am currently finishing my undergraduate degree in Animal Science and am then as well as a new certification in hospice and palliative care for senior and terminally ill dogs. I also recently received my certification from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. I eventually would to work with pet parents to help them with making sure their pets live a happy and healthy life. I recently graduated and am going to staying in Fargo until fall of 2026 due to an internship that is all mostly done online so I am pretty open during the week and weekend for whatever you and your pup may need. My dogs all have their own kennel as well as their own dogs beds, although they get to sleep wherever and usually chose to sleep on the couch or my bed with me. I have a dog door for them that goes out to the deck with a large fully fenced in back yard. For food and water I have a dog water dispenser upstairs and downstairs and have a separate space from my dogs with dog beds, a tv, couch, and many toys for dogs staying with me to eat and have a space away from my dogs if they need it. I am willing to do whatever you may need to make things as stress free as possible for both you and your pups.
About: Currently a registered nurse. Worked in a vet clinic and went to vet tech school. Has worked with many different dog breeds and temperaments. Has worked with reactive dogs. I work full time in Jamestown so I would be able to assist with Jamestown pets during the week. Then I’m home on weekends so I could board during weekends. I have a fenced yard. I have three cats but if your dog is not cat friendly I would keep the dog in a separate room where they would still receive lots of attention.

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 November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 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.

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 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.
