“This will as the first time leaving my puppies with a sitter. Seena did an amazing job putting our minds at ease. Her passion for taking care of pets is obvious and her updates we amazing. I'm not even sure our puppy with separation anxiety even notice we were gone! If you ever need a sitter you can be confident in leaving them with her! They will be safe, loved, and spoiled!”
“This was such a great experience for our first time! Although Huckleberry was nervous at first he calmed down and, judging by the pictures that Amber sent me regularly, he was thoroughly content. She was pleasant to deal with and very quick to respond to my messages. We'll definitely use her again if needed.”
“WOW! I am absolutely thrilled with the level of care Charlene provided. The communication and pictures were so wonderful while I was away. I will certainly utilize Charlene in the future as it really put my mind at ease to know Mazy was loved and taken care of! Thank you!!!”
“Meranda did such a wonderful job with our Tippy! She gave regular updates, was able to administer his medication, and I picked up a happy dog at the end of a long weekend. I would absolutely recommend her and her family as a sitter!”
“Angelica did a great job with my dog while we were away. She was very happy when we came to pick her up and it was nice to get photos of her while we were out of town. Angelica was very responsive to messages and easy to communicate with. It's very clear how much she enjoys and cares for pets and we will likely be using her services again in the future”
“We came to town for an overnight trip and didn’t want our pup cooped up in a hotel room the whole time. Dae & Madison took great care of him and the next day I picked up a happy, played-out pup. It brought me a lot of comfort after talking with them knowing they had a lot of experience not only watching dogs through this platform but also with high energy dogs and dog behavior overall. I would definitely book again the next time we have an overnight trip in Grand Forks!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a teen. I have experience with large and small dog breeds, as well as puppies from birth onward. I have two dogs of my own, who are members of the family. We have a secure fenced in backyard to ensure the safety of your baby as well! Please note: I have two children, ages 2 years and 3 months old. For their safety, please let me know the extent of your pet’s exposure and comfort level with children. Thank you! I am a stay at home mom, so I am available 24/7 most days. For dog walking: Typically, when we take our dogs for walks, depending on the time of day my kids will accompany us in the stroller. We are in a very nice, quiet neighborhood. I have two small dogs who absolutely love other animals and would love to keep yours company. We also have a fenced in backyard for dogs.
“Deann was a great dog sitter! Very communicative throughout the stay and thoughtful prior to accepting the booking. Photos and videos everyday! I will definitely look to see if she is available in the future.”
“Nikie and her family were awesome with our 2 dogs. Ella got her exercise out in the fenced yard and Tillie got to rest inside just how they prefer! We received pictures throughout their visit, which we appreciated so much. Would recommend Nikie and wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again! Thank you so much Nikie, and your husband too, for taking such good care of our pups!”
About: We have been watching dogs in our home for friends for the past couple of years. We have two teenagers who love dogs as much as we do. We have two well trained dogs of our own who love to have new friends over. Our dogs are always up to date on shots. We have a large kennel we can use if needed and a large fenced in backyard. There is lots of love to go around in our house! We both work full time. In the summer our kids are home. During the school year we do have the ability to come home at lunch and let out the dogs. We have a large fenced in backyard and 2 dogs that love new friends. We have a kennel to use if needed. We go on daily walks with our own pups and will take yours with too!
About: I became a licensed Veterinary Technician in 2014 and have 10 years experience working in general practice. I have been dog sitting since high school. I currently work Monday-Thursday 8am to 5pm and come home for lunch noon-1pm to care for my own small senior dog as well as 2 senior cats. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly 12 year old dog named Penny. Penny and guest dog will be separated if I am not home but I will have a camera I can view the guest dog as needed if I'm at work. The resident cats will not have access to the guest dog while I am away. My pets eat 4 meals a day and Penny is let outside 4-7 times a day.
“Perfect dog sitter, I boarded with her last minute and my dog had a great time playing in her back yard with the other pups, flight got delayed and it wasn’t an issue, would highly recommend to anyone. Came back home and picked up a very happy and tired pup”
“Amy is a very nice caring person. She communicates well. Took our dog for lots of walks. My dog had a good stay that would have been better is she had a secured backyard. On the other hand I did not investigate this but again she made up for this by taking him for walks. . She also gave him a nice bath.”
“Kairouan is excellent! Quick responses to questions and schedule changes on my part. Huge variety of toys and a wonderful back yard. Picture posts reassured me that my dog was doing well. We will be booking again when our travel takes us to Grand Forks or Fargo for the weekend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Grand Forks
Our pooch can be a little anxious when he isn’t with us. He thrived in Angelica’s home for the 4 days he was with her. He was loved and snuggled bunches. Wonderful communicator and flexible with the times and situations. She gave daily updates and photos. We will certainly book with her again.
Our dog Flora loved her stay her stay with Jaedyn and her son. Flora is usually a little shy and timid when she first meets hosts but immediately warmed up to the two of them. Jaedyn was a great communicator over the 8 days that Flora boarded with her. It looked like they had a great time together. Would highly recommend!
Nyree seemed to enjoy her stay with Kayla and Gabriel and their adorable dog. They seemed to take such great care of Nyree, and shared regular updates and photos. I would 100% book with them again for the peace of mind knowing Nyree is in good hands (and with a dog friend). Thank you!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Grand Forks home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Grand Forks.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Grand Forks sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in ND ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
