“First time leaving my puppy, Ollie, with a sitter. Adam was the perfect sitter for my little, timid pup. He knew how to make Ollie comfortable with him, was knowledgeable of dog training techniques, responsive to any questions I had, and left pics and comments. Ollie was well taken care of and my vacation was worry free.”
About: I have always been an animal person which showed from childhood until now! I was raised loving animals and would even save birds or mice my cats brought home. I now live in Fargo attending NDSU, living with one roommate and my new kitten! Growing up I was responsible for not only helping with my own dogs and when they had puppies, but neighbors’ and friends’ dogs as well. I have watched all shapes and sizes of dogs and never met a dog I have disliked. I also go on walks often and always make sure dogs under my care receive enough exercise. Besides dogs I love cats as well! I have had cats since I was born and have always formed strong connections with them. I also watched multiple neighbors cats growing up. In Fargo I have watched my sister’s cats and am trusted by her friends to check on their cats. I have also opened my apartment to my parents’ and sister’s dogs whenever needed to help out. I have taken care of all ages of pets from new born puppies to my dog on her last days. Besides watching pets I have volunteered at Homeward Animal Shelter and socialized cats there. This has taught me to stay patient and never push a pet past what they are comfortable with. I would love to meet any loved pet and treat them as if they were my own! I will be attending hair school in the fall, and I will be busy from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday. After school for the day, I will be working part-time while completing my degree at NDSU part-time. Even though my schedule seems busy, I will always make time for your furry friends! I do have a kitten at my apartment, so any pet staying at my home would have to be cat-friendly. That being said, if your dog does not love cats, I could still watch them and make quick stops at my apartment! As for a client's home, I can fit any schedule or habits a pet might have. My goal is to create a safe space for your pet in whatever way they respond best!
“Marissa is so dependable and mature beyond her years. She is great with animals and truly is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the wellbeing of the furbabies. She went well above and beyond and did so in such a kind way. I highly recommend Marissa to care for your pets.”
“Wow! Julia did a wonderful job stopping in to check on Gizmo for multiple visits. He was treated like a king! The pictures Julia sent were so sweet, it was great to see Gizmo on each of her visits.”
About: I have been around animals my whole life and always enjoy caring for them! I have owned a puppy so I am skilled in puppy needs, and I am ready for any challenges I may be faced with! I have also stayed overnight caring for my families pets many times and I really enjoy it! I will be working part-time as a life guard in the summer, so I will definitely have plenty of time to care for your pets! The only other activity I have going on is bringing kids to gymnastics on mondays, wednesdays, and thursdays at 8:30 am, and then camping with my families some weekends! At my house I have a fenced in yard, while at other homes I am very attentive to detail and instructions when caring. I always keep a careful eye to make sure of pet safety.
“Lauren is great! She’s been my go to for my dogs since I moved to Dilworth. She honors her commitments, treats my pups as her own and always sends the cutest photos to me while I’m not home. Thank you, Lauren! Me and my kiddos appreciate you!”
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
About: I've grown up with vastly different dogs; my first was a grumpy senior cocker spaniel and my last was the sweetest, smartest Australian Shepard/blue heeler. I've also taken care of friends' and family's pets like my aunt's deaf pitbull and my cousin's St. Bernard. Needless to say, I have a wide range of pet experience. I'm currently an online graduate student, which means I have flexibility to work around yours and your pet's schedule. I'm available most days with available times from early morning to late evening. It's important for a pet to feel safe in their home. It's important to follow a pet's boundaries, I try to cater to their needs and their routine.
About: I am an experienced pet care taker. I had a dog of my own for 7 years before she passed away of a heart condition. I now have the best Rottie in the earth. Before that my family had dogs and cats growing up. I also consistently foster animals through one of the organizations in town. All dogs on my profile are dogs I either owned, fostered, or babysat. I love to spend as much time with the dogs I am sitting! If it’s the weekend only this is easy to do - If your dog would like a friend my Rottie would like to come with! If not no worries at all! For weekdays: I work from home and can make moving to your home work but will need a desk space or active table space with the ability to plug in - and preferably the ability to bring my 4 year old friendly Rottie with me. If I am unable to bring her what I have done in the past is work from my home and then spend the evening/night with your dog. I always make a lunch break work for this plan. This often mimics similar to a 8-5 schedule. We can definitely discuss details on this! She is part of a team that helps a rescue in town dog test new dogs on their reaction to others! I look forward to hearing from you.- I try to be flexible as possible for your dogs needs. If these schedules don’t work for you - please still reach out if you want to discuss options! I am comfortable continuing what you have done with your dog in your home. Normal walks? You got it. Fenced yard and fetch? Terrific. I love to keep dogs into the regular routine as it’s already stressful for their human to be gone. I do request if you have scent plugs in your home that they are unplugged during any extended stay you schedule with me - thanks!
About: We have always been dog lovers our whole life and was finally able to adopt one of our own three years ago. Mae is our sweet loving girl and we couldn’t imagine life without her. Dogs and animals hold a special place in our hearts! I am a teacher and my husband is a nurse. Over the weekends we find any way possible to hang out with Mae, take her for walks, to the dog park, and of course to get sweet treats. During the week we always find plenty of time for walks and lots of love and belly scratches on the couch! Mae and other dogs roam free in our house! We have a fenced in backyard to allow for lots of play time, and inside they are more than welcome on any bed or couch!
“Kimmie is great! I was so anxious about how this would all work out but it’s has made my life so much less stressful knowing my dogs are with someone who is kind and considerate. Love having Kimmie involved in our routine and appreciate her more than she knows!”
About: I have 2+ years of experience from working at a pet lodging company where I would walk dogs, do playtimes with dog, cats, birds, and pigs. I would also clean suites and give medication to animals as well! I have experience working with puppies to senior dogs of all sizes. I’m a college student needing some extra side gig money on the side while I also work my full time job and I love animals very much so afternoons and evenings during the week would be preferred as well as afternoons and evenings on the weekends. I can care for your pet(s) by taking them on walks, checking in on them during the day, feeding, playing with them, giving them some cuddles and pets while you’re away, and making sure they go to the bathroom.
About: I love animals and have had pets my entire life. We all need help with pet care sometimes and I’m happy to be of assistance! I’m currently working part-time for the summer and looking for some extra hours to fill my time. I’m available most weekdays and have limited availability on weekends. I will treat your pets and environment with the same respect and kindness I would in my own home. I’m happy to provide walks/exercise, and mental stimulation. I’m comfortable with feeding and basic medication administration.
About: I have had pets my whole life, currently owning my own kitty and co-parenting my boyfriends Great Pyrenees. I am now a graduate of NDSU, I have a bachelors degree in veterinary technology. Which means I have thorough and professional experience caring for, medicating, walking, enriching, and housing animals. I am excited to meet you and your pet and care for them exactly how you would. I am currently between jobs so my only commitments outside of your pets are mine. I return to my own home for a few hours every day during a sitting to care for my own pets. I am committed to caring for your pet the same way that you would. I believe in following instructions to the best of my abilities in order to ensure your pet receives the care they deserve.
“Pamela has watched my cat twice now. She always takes great photos, and leaves thorough descriptions. My cat also loves Pamela, which makes me feel happy and rest easy while I’m gone. I will definitely book Pamela again in the future.”

Isaac was very knowledgeable, interested in the care for our boys, took them on walks which is not the most calm of walks with huskies. We came home to well rested, happy dogs. No issues! He is wonderful and we would recommend him and absolutely will request to rebook!
Cairn is absolutely amazing with Duke he loves it when she comes over to see him I couldn’t be happier with her service she has been a true blessing for Duke I am very picky about who I let babysit Duke but Cairn has been awesome to work with and Duke responds to her very well
This was my first time using Rover, and I was initially hesitant to leave my PooBear with a stranger. However, I decided to take a chance last minute. I met Nicole, who was incredibly friendly and accommodating to my schedule request. She made the arrangement mutually beneficial and kept me updated on my PooBear’s wellbeing. We even met up the day before for her to meet Chewbacca. Everything went smoothly. If I ever need someone to watch Chewbacca again and she’s available, I’ll definitely go to her. Thanks again, Nicole!

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 Fargo 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.
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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Fargo with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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.

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.
