“This was the first time leaving Millie with someone other than family. Bailey was so kind and gentle with Millie. We never felt that we made the wrong choice in leaving her. Bailey let us know that Millie settled in well, and became her little shadow. Will definitely use Bailey again.”
“Rom seemed very comfortable with Megan and I felt at peace knowing my pup is in good hands. Megan was also very accommodating and came in earlier than I had initially scheduled, thank you!”
“Caitlin was amazing! She responded quickly to my request and came over to meet our Gus and come up with a plan. She was infinitely patient with our skittish boy. We decided to do in home visits and she sent daily updates while we were gone. She even went above and beyond, shoveling our snow and getting the mail. She is definitely our number one choice for next time!”
About: Hello, I'm Carly! I have had dogs my entire life and I have extensive experience working at kennels, pet boarding facilities, and pet supply retail. I have an unconditional love for all animals and would do whatever it takes to make a dog or pup happy! I am a dog sitter, groomer, and a gaming streamer/content creator. Currently, I make my own schedule. I have open availability on weekends and can discuss weekly availability! I have 3 dogs that are all nearing their elder years but they are all still pups to me! They get vitamins and supplements every morning and evening with their all natural dog food. We go on walks everyday to maintain flexibility and hip/joint health. My dogs and my cat are everything to me and are a huge part of my daily routine. Nobody understands better than I do wanting your pet to feel cared and loved for during the day when you can’t be present. I have 5 acres of unfenced, wooded property. My pets, as well as any furry guests, are of top priority in my household! They are treated like family and I am always aware of where they’re at when exploring the property
About: I’ve been around and have always loved all animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, ferrets, and fish. Open to helping with any pets. I work full time Monday-Thursday but I’m completely open to care for your pets Friday-Sunday. I like being active and getting outside so your pets will get all the walks and activity. At home my cats and dogs are free to roam the home. The yard is not fenced so we do use a cable in the backyard or go for walks on the leash for potty breaks.
About: Just here to be a friend to your family! I know it's hard to leave them but think about how good it will feel to know your favorite furry friend is in good hands! This is hopefully going to be my job time gig! This is something I really do love to do! And I can't wait to meet your pet! So a good thing about me is I am certified in pet CPR. Your pet's safety and over all well being is my first a top priority
About: I’m excited to care for your pet! I love all animals and even wanted to become a veterinarian! I have a two Siamese cats who are good with dogs. I also have a two year old poodle named Tony. he LOVES to play with other dogs. We go to the Fort Gratiot dog park often! My family growing up raised golden retriever puppies, so I am comfortable with all energy levels! Personally, I am also trying to exercise more so I would love to take your dog for a short or long walk! Any other questions you have, feel free to ask! My pets keep me busy! I also have 9 chickens. I am happy to visit your fur baby anytime of the day! I’m happy to visit holidays and weekends too :). In my home, pets are allowed on furniture and on the bed. Food is given at scheduled times of the day - no free feeding so you would not have to worry about your pet eating other food. I am happy to house puppies and senior dogs. I can take them outside on a leash as I don’t have a fenced in yard. I have two acres on a dirt road in for gratiot.
About: I am trusted by my neighbors to watch their animals when they’re not available. While I am also trusted by two family friends to give their dogs walks and endless pets when they’re away from their babies. I currently work part-time during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m happy to accommodate dog sitting, drop-ins, and walks throughout the week and on weekends. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, so I always make time in my schedule to ensure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I can give your dog as many walks as they need throughout the time I watch them, and I am always willing to go outside and play with them for a while!
“Molly watched our human society rescue dog and her six newborn puppies. She did a great job and treated Lola and her pups like they were her own dogs. Molly has such a calming disposition and was so kind we knew the dogs were in the perfect hands for the day. She sent pics and updates during our time away. We would definitely use her again!!”
“Gabby was absolutely fabulous with our two dogs josie and chloe :) Gabby stayed a week at our house to watch our doggies and took such great care of them. she gave daily updates and sent lots of pictures. I can't recommend her enough and would love to use her again in the future!!!”
About: I have taken care of family members', family friends', neighbors', houses, pets, and children since I have been in high school and I am now a 2023 graduate from Central Michigan University. I have taken care of senior pets, both cats and dogs, for several days at a time. I am comfortable with giving medication and tending to any other special needs your fur baby may have. I am also comfortable with taking care of several pets at once, as I regularly stay at a household with 6 pets in the home (4 dogs and 2 cats). I have a dog of my own and I strive to care for others' pets as they are my own. I am currently a nursing student at Oakland University. I am in the accelerated program and my schedule changes every 6-7 weeks. Until 4/16, I have 12 hour clinical days at Troy Corewell on Thursdays and Sundays and class 3 days a week ending at 2 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays, then 10:30 AM on Tuesdays in the Auburn Hills area. I am also available in the Macomb and St. Clair areas. I am completely comfortable with staying in the home with pets to keep them on their routines in a familar environment. I have stayed one night up to 2 weeks, so I am flexible with whatever you or your pets may need. My dog loves to play with other dogs, so I can introduce them if requested.
About: Growing up i’ve always been around animals! I would love to be the one to take care of you furry friend(s)!! I do drop in’s (dogs or cats) and dog walking, I would love to do a meet and greet before hand to get to know you and your pet, I do like sending pictures often to just keep you guys updated and less anxious, and i will do anything to keep your pets safe/comfortable while in my care! I do have a part time job right now, but during the weekdays im typically only there for 2-3 hours, I would love to (if possible) accommodate to fit sitting into my schedule! I would follow any rules in client’s house that are needed to ensure safety with pets! Making sure there isn’t anything for pets to get into, making sure gates are closed when letting pets out, engaging with the pets (providing exercise and attention), exercising pets as needed, etc.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fargo on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 133 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fargo. 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 Fargo 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 Fargo 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 Fargo 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.
