“Linda is fantastic! She is such a joy to work with, very thorough and kind. She took the extra time to meet our pets and make them feel comfortable with her before we were going to be out of town. Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thank you so much Linda!”
About: My dog is the love of my life so I'll take care of yours the same way. I've taken care of dogs my entire life and I have a rescue of my own. I've also cared for cats for about a year. I love dogs and cats and I will make sure your pet is taken care of exceptionally well. I work full time but I'm happy to walk your pet before or after work and pop by over lunch to let them out, stay with them on the weekends, or keep an eye on your home and pet while you're gone. I'm used to working with dogs that are very strong and/or pull when on leash. I'm capable of walking dogs that are reactive to other dogs safely. I'm able to crate your dog safely if need be. I'll make sure to keep your home safe for your pet if I'm visiting your home.
About: Hi! I’m Eva, I'm a professional dog trainer and owner of Crockett K9 Services here in Fergus Falls. Boarding happens in my home environment, and each dog's day is scheduled around their individual needs for exercise, rest, meals, and routine. I take dogs of any breed, size, age, or behavioral concern, and I have experience administering medication and caring for dogs with health concerns. I pay close attention to detail, so feeding instructions, meds, and house rules are followed exactly. You'll get regular photo updates so you always know how your dog is doing! I'm home all day, so your pet is never left alone for long stretches. My days run on a routine built around the animals: training sessions, play time, exercise, meals, and scheduled downtime. Your dog or cat's day gets structured around their needs, not squeezed into mine! Dogs sleep in kennels at night and get scheduled kennel downtime during the day! If your dog does not go good in a kennel, please let me know and we can arrange care to your pet’s needs. I do day trips to parks on request, plus regular walks. There are plenty of toys and enrichment for both dogs and cats during their stay. If your pet does better solo, I can keep animals separated.
“Marianne jumped in and helped me out at the last minute. One of my pups has gotten stress-induced sickness which has not happened in years but of course, it happened in the first few days of her watching them. Marianne kept me informed and sent me updates daily along with photos. I arrived home to two very happy and relaxed boys.”
About: Hi there! I'm Crystal — a lifelong animal lover with a calm, grounded energy that pets naturally connect with.

I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious or shy pups. I’m patient, observant, and take safety seriously. You can count on me to keep you updated with messages and photos every visit so you always know how your pet is doing. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, I’ve got you covered. I’d love to help make your time away stress-free for both you and your pet.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fergus Falls
Having Linda care for my two pups gave me the peace of mind I needed when I had to be away from them. From our initial “meet n greet” to when she cared for them, I fully trusted that she would be a wonderful pup sitter! She sent me photos and played with them and followed all my requests. Definitely will use her when I need to in the future, thank you Linda!
Linda is fantastic! She is such a joy to work with, very thorough and kind. She took the extra time to meet our pets and make them feel comfortable with her before we were going to be out of town. Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thank you so much Linda!

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 Fergus Falls 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 Fergus Falls 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Fergus Falls 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.
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.
