“Isaac was very prompt, communicative, kind & patient when watching our dog Riley. This was our first time using Rover, and Isaac asked & answered so many questions. Our dog is very fearful of other people, and Isaac did what he could with such kindness & grace to respect that fear without making it worse. I highly recommend Isaac to anyone looking for a very present & communicative pet sitter!”
“Alyssa and Zachary have been my sitters for about a year now. They have loved my kitty like their own. Unfortunately I am moving out of the area so I won’t be able to use them anymore. I truly do not know how I am going to replace them- they are the only sitters I have ever trusted to take care of Delilah. You will feel comfortable leaving your pets in their care and can trust that they are in the best hands!”
“Patty was great while checking in on my two cats! She sent me photos from each visit and sent a note each time she came over! I will be using her next time I need a sitter!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we’ve had such a great experience! Tennille was awesome to work with— she was communicative and clearly caring about our pets’ well-being. :) Would love to have her again!”
“Our 2 Frenchies were well taken care of!This was our first experience with Rover and Maria was very helpful with any questions I had. I would book her again in the future!”
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.
“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.”
About: I grew up on a small ranch in Texas surrounded by all kinds of animals, from dogs & cats to horses & cattle. Over the past few years, my family has bred and raised several litters of golden retriever puppies. This gave me even more experience with raising & training dogs, and led to the adoption of my own dog Sam. I also have experience babysitting dogs for friends and family! I'm currently a stay-at-home wife, so I have a lot of flexibility during the week. Pet care is ideal as it allows me to work around my husbands work & class schedule, while caring for our own dog & home. I will offer consistent, kind care to your dog or cat! I love going on walks with my own dog, playing fetch, and offering lots of cuddles. I am happy to interact with your animal according to your personal comfort level, knowning that some dogs & cats may prefer more alone time than others. I will respect your animal's personal space & interact with them as a fun, dependable friend.
About: Hello! I’m Sophia, and I am currently a student at Concordia College studying Voice Performance and German! Outside of music I have a passion for plants and pets! Over the years I have taken care of the animals of my community as well as some of my own. Species include cats, dogs, birds, fish, guinea pigs, gerbils, domesticated rats, and even small children 😂. Additionally I am a seasoned houseplant parent with employment experience at a local garden center. On top of pet care I am happy to water, fertilize, diagnose, and pest treat your plants for a flexible fee! As a pet/plant sitter I am reliable, organized, punctual, communicative and adaptable. Together let’s keep your flora and fauna happy and healthy! As a student and part-time garden center employee my schedule varies quite a bit. Generally my Tuesday and Thursday mornings are free as well as weekends. I’m a great communicator and happy to find a time that works for you! I do not offer boarding for cats and dogs, but for small animals such as birds and rodents they have a home away from home with me! I live in a house with plenty of space for a habitat and can adjust lighting, temperature and ambient volume to your pet’s needs!
“Lydia us a great sitter. She helped my puppy at the last minute. She filled his water(even though i forgot to tell her about it). She even brought him to my work for me to say hi to him. He had a good time playing soccer and running around with her.”
About: Hello! I go by AL and I use he/him pronouns 😊 I grew up with a dog and a cat. I have shelter experience, doggy daycare experience, and I have 2 cats of my own now! I have a passionate love for animals and I can't wait to meet yours :) Outside of work, pet care will be my top priority. Walks, play time, nap time, food time, etc. will be routine if you book with me. I'll make it my mission to give your pet the most love and care that i'm physically able to! :) Your pet will be safe and sound in my care. I have many years of experience with pets and I only offer the best service!
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 had experience taking care of dogs pretty much my whole life, so I’m really comfortable around all kinds of personalities and needs. I’ve also spent a lot of time staying overnight with dogs and watching them for different lengths of time, whether it’s just a day or longer trips. I’m used to handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m a teacher during the school year, so my weekdays are a bit more structured since I’m working from about 8–4. In the summer, I switch things up and work as a nanny three days a week. I’m still available on weekends year-round, and during the school year I can be available outside of my work hours on weekdays as well. I really strive to be a safe, calm place for dogs, no matter their personality or needs. I’m comfortable around all types—whether they’re super energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience. I’m also very good at following whatever routine or plan you already have set up for your pet, so they can stay comfortable and stick to what they’re used to while you’re away.
About: I had my first dog when I was 8 and ever since then I have always loved dogs and have never been without a dog until this year. All dogs make me extremely happy and I love to play with them. I’m very energetic and love to go for runs or do different activities with dogs. I also don’t have a problem with any other animals but I am just used to dealing with dogs. I have had a miniature schnauzer, pit bull, and a lab. My hours are pretty flexible but I do prefer the morning because I am a early bird. The only times I won’t be available are after 8 Expect for Wednesdays unless I’m house sitting depending on how long that will be. If you would like any more information please message me
About: I've looked after dogs and cats for around 15 years, very comfortable with both. Getting to know a pet and learning their personality and preferences is important to me, I want us both to have a good time! I'm currently work part-time and I'm a student, taking most of my classes online so I can be flexible! Mondays and Wednesdays I'm pretty busy in the morning, but I'm usually free by 2-3pm. I have two cats that are very well-socialized with other cats and small to medium sized dogs. Sometimes I put up a gate and allow the cats to sun themselves on the deck, which they love! In other people's homes, I make sure to tread lightly and let the pets take the lead on getting comfortable with me being in their space.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Fargo is $20

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!
Amazing sitter. My cat is very needy and often emotional when I'm gone. He seemed to be in good spirits when I came home, which is really impressive for him only meeting her once. He's pretty big on vibes and clearly likes Vanessa and felt comfortable with her. I highly recommend her for cat sitting and will definitely be rebooking :3
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet 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 243 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fargo. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
