About: Hello! I have always had a love for animals especially dogs and cats. I had my own dog, Charlie, who had complex health issues and unfortunately is no longer with me. He made me comfortable with giving medications, insulin/allergy shots, and following instructions with dietary restrictions that I can also provide your pets with when needed. I currently work full time M-F, but my schedule is flexible during the week and most weekends. I have also been employed for over a year with a company in the F/M area providing pet care services in people's homes. I LOVE what I do and always looking for more opportunities to meet new furry friends. My schedule is flexible and I respond quickly to text/phone calls or email when reaching out looking for pet care. I'm able to do morning shifts before I head to my full time job M-F, lunch breaks, and after work. I can often move my schedule around if you need other times throughout the day too. Just ask! Weekends are more open when I am not out of town. I prefer going to the pets home to provide care where they are in a familiar environment. I can provide walks, bring your pet outside to play, clean litter boxes, feed and fill their water, administer medication etc. Boarding in my home can also be provided, as I have a pet and smoke free home and can work with your pets needs to make them feel safe and at home.
About: I’ve been an owner to Australian shepherds and Border Collies for over 15 years. I take my current dog running almost every day and for a couple walks each day. I’ve also had cats my entire life, with varying personalities 🙂. I can be a cuddly companion or keep my distance. I’ve always loved animals and am very patient. I’m a college professor looking for a side gig that involves something I already love doing! My schedule is very flexible and I have holidays and summers off. I just joined Rover so I don’t have much pet sitting experience, but I promise you won’t be disappointed. I have summers off, a month off over the holidays, and all holidays off. During these times I’m always available. During the school year I work from home on Tuesday and Thursday and have lots of availability. I work out of town on M,W,F during the school year and am unavailable from 8am-4pm on MWF. I am very responsible and trustworthy. I’m in my 40s, have an advanced degree, a good job, 2 awesome kids, and 3 awesome pets! I’ve had a lot of life experiences and am good at dealing with all situations. I love animals and their care and well-being is my top priority.
“Worked well with us and our fur friends. Claire was really accommodating and even sent daily reports to us which was so nice. Our fur babies were so happy and calm when we arrived home. Definitely would book Claire again!”
“Amanda’s great! She is so personable, kind and caring of our pets! Our dogs loved her! We loved seeing our pup’s photos every day while on our trip and we were always kept informed of any changes!”
About: I have both a cat and a dog. My dog is 14 years old and we adopted him as a puppy. My cat is 4 and I’ve had him since he was 4 months old. I’ve watched family and friends animals since I was 12. I also volunteer at the animal shelter in Fargo. I know how to handle a variety of different dogs and feel confident around them. I strive to give the best care I can to all animals I encounter! I am in high school and have a part time job so I need to be notified in advance for availability. I can come before school or to exercise or care for your animal. I care for my animals by walking my dog daily and he gets fed twice a day and brushed occasionally. My cat gets free fed and gets his wet food once a day. He doesn’t use the litter box often because he’s an indoor and outdoor cat but when it’s dirty I make sure to clean it thoroughly.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with both dogs and cats of various ages, breeds, and personalities. In addition to growing up with pets, I currently work at Fetchers, where I provide care for dogs in a professional setting. I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care so your pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work full-time at Fetchers, but my schedule still allows for plenty of availability for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the week. Because I work with animals professionally, caring for pets is already a big part of my daily routine. I’m happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their needs and can provide dependable care, exercise, potty breaks, feeding, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I will follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. I strive to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I also treat every home with respect by keeping spaces clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring your pet remains safe. You can expect regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have worked in the animal industry for a good bit while at an animal shelter and a doggy daycare as well. I have had animals my entire life and currently have 2 dogs of my own! I have experience training and medicating animals. I also have experience with reactive/anxious dogs. I do have a job I will be leaving soon as I am moving in 2 months so I can rearrange my schedule quite a bit to let any pups out or pop in and check on anyone’s babies. I am willing to clear time to make your baby a priority! I have a pretty lenient schedule so if your pet wants to spend some time cuddling or playing in the yard it’s no problem I will clear time for them! If your pup loves to go hiking or on long walks I have no problem enjoying nature with them!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fargo
Tennille was a great dog sitter from start to end! The communication was great and we could really tell she cared about our two small older dogs. We received lots of pics of our boys while we were out of town, which was amazing! I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again!
Kathryn accepted my booking with 24 hours and was super understanding when my apartment maintenance accidentally locked her out so she couldn't complete the booking like normal. She was so nice about the whole ordeal and will definitely use her again in the future (and plan better to account for maintenance locking the door, ugh).
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Fargo is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit. 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 237 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Fargo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.
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 .
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.
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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
