About: A pet lover from the very beginning, I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals and have cared for them from the time I could walk. Having worked with the young and rowdy and the senior and meek, I am familiar with just about every age, personality, and temperament type. I am experienced with administering oral medication and watching for symptoms of illness or discomfort, and will keep owners updated on their pet. I am available most weekdays and every other weekend. I will be happy to provide my care to you and your four-legged family members. I work full time as a direct support professional, mostly weekends and overnight shifts. I am available most weekdays during the day, and every other weekend. During drop-ins and overnight stays, I will ensure that your pet has fresh water, a clean potty (whether that be a litter box or backyard), and is kept on schedule with meal times and medications. But it is not all work—also play! I will take your pet for walks and provide some entertainment while their usual play-partners are away.

About: There was never a time a lived without dogs, I grew up taking care of my beloved furry friends and l've taken care of pets for family and friends since I was little. I have experience taking care of elder dogs such as my Maisy and Bell, helping them in walking and eating towards the end of their lives, and I have also taken care of younger dogs like my dog hoss. My love and care for animals has only grown as I have. I am currently a student at UND so I do have classes weekdays but I have plenty of time to take care of your pets most days and weekends. My schedule is flexible. I know that you know your pet best and I can follow any instructions on how to keep your furry friends happy. I can make sure they have fresh water and good exercise along with the perfect amount of food based on their schedules. I will care for your four-legged friends with care and respect.

About: I have been walking dogs in my neighborhood since I was 9. My sister is a dog trainer, so growing up I was always around dogs and doing work walking and pet sitting. I have gained some experience with reactive dogs and some tips and tricks for training as well. I have a german shepherd, so I am certainly comfortable with larger and high energy dogs. I have done a few dog sports such as agility and flyball! My friends and neighbors consider me to be very reliable and trustworthy. I worry and care for other’s pets like they are my own. I also have two senior dogs as well! I am available from 8am-8pm. I am home from college for the summer and currently do not have a scheduled job, so I am really flexible and available! I have a fenced-in backyard and a field next to my house. I have two dogs, Shetland Sheepdogs, and they are off-leash trained and get along with other dogs very well.

About: I love dogs! I have owned dogs in the past, but currently do not! I will walk, feed, play with, pick up after and make sure your pups are cared for just as if it were you caring for them! I currently work full-time and have a school age child, so I am limited on morning care times, but am more flexible in the afternoons, evenings and weekends! Drop in visits and overnight stays for your dogs will have to be done at your home due to my 4 cats, and that they have not been around dogs!

Madison was amazing! She met the pups during a meet and greet, they instantly loved her. Her background in pet care really set our minds at ease. She followed all of our instructions to the letter, even picking up on our Staffy’s anxiety around the fireworks and providing her with meds. The pups were so happy and well taken care of when we got home. She was on time for every visit and extremely communicative. She provided wonderful photos of all the love the pups gave her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for pet care!

About: I grew up in Grand Forks with 2 German Shepherds and a Yorkie. I love every type of dog, big or small. I worked at the doggie daycare Petopia in town for a year and a half and only stopped in preparation for school. I loved every dog I met as much as my own and my camera roll is filled with pictures of them! I’m currently a class of 2030 UND Aviation student and I work part time dispatch at Ryan Hall but I’m pretty flexible. I love staying busy, playing tennis, flying, going to my lake, and going on walks, so I think this would be a great addition. I work part time for UND and I start school in August where I typically have class midday. I often get up early and go on nightly walks. I’d love dogs to be apart of my morning and nightly routine. I love to play with dogs when they’re in their high-energy state and I also love to just pet them if they want to lounge. Going on walks and staying healthy is very important to me and having a pup to accompany me would be awesome! Just like myself, I’d always make sure they have water.

About: I will give them much love and attention, and keep them healthy and excited! I use to teach my dogs how to sit and stay, well I think anyone can do that but it's all about having fun with it! I'm looking for a little exciment and it will be a great experience with dogs since all they want to do is have lots of fun! I'm available weekends and nights and morning I tutor a first grader twice a week but anything than that I'm available to have fun with your dog. I had up to 3 dogs at one point and they were very hyper and outgoing so I loved taking them on walks and playing fetch in the yard. I loved animals since I was young so your pet would be great to take care of. I work in the medical field and work 7-3:30. Would love to walk after work, I'm usually free on the weekends! I would love to gain more experience outside mt home I have a fenced in backyard and keep my dogs close when going on walks and taking breaks when needed. Safety is my main priority!

About: Dogs and cats have always been apart of my life. I grew up with boxers, pitbulls, dobermans, labs and other breeds. I have a beagle name Chairle that I got as a puppy 5 years ago. Charlie has had quite the adventures in 5 years. She has been backpacking in 8 Minnesota state parks, and been on a road trip to 14 states. When at home, we go for 2 to 3, 30 minutes walks a day and play fetch and tug alot. I also have a Shepard mix named Jimmy Dean that I adopted. Jimmy is more of a couch potatoe but he joins the adventure when he has the chance. We would love to watch your pet and have an adventure together. I work a flexible job so I can let your pet out multiple time a day. We will spend the afternoons going for a walk then relaxing. If it is nice out we will be outside most of the afternoon unless your pet is a house cat then they will have lots of windows to look out and pets to be had. I have a nice neighborhood to walk around and beagle, and a shepard mix for your pet to play with. My beagle and shepard have grown up around cats and dogs. We love being outside so we will try to be outside as much as possible. When not outside the pets will be allowed to be up on furniture and sleep in my bed with me.

About: Pets have always been part of my life, from a yellow lab and a guinea pig in my early years to the toy havapoo and fish I have today. I've been a cat volunteer with Paws and Claws Humane Society since June, 2024 and I really enjoy spending time with the cats there. I also have some experience dog sitting for family and friends. I'm currently working part-time and my schedule varies by week. I work 4-7 hours a day and around 20 a week so I'll have time to take care of your pets! I care for pets in my client’s home by following their normal routine as closely as possible, keeping their space clean and secure, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. I provide fresh water, meals, walks or litter box care, playtime, medication if needed, and regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I also respect your home by cleaning up after myself and leaving everything as I found it, or better.

About: I’ve always loved animals. I had a lot of pets growing up. I’d often dog and cat sit for my neighbors as a teenager and now I dog and cat sit for friends when possible. I used to have a chihuahua who passed away a few years ago at the age of 16. He was my baby and I miss him so much. Unfortunately I’m too busy to have a pet of my own, but I’d love to walk or watch your dog or cat when possible! I currently work from 8-430 Monday-Friday. I would be able to walk or hang out with your pet when I’m done with work. I’d also be willing to take your pet overnight as long as they’re picked up in the morning. I will be available some weekends and on the weekends I’d be willing to take your pet all day and possibly overnight. I always make sure that my clients pet has fresh water and is fed on time. I also provide potty breaks at least every 2 hours in the day time or as needed. I do not have a fenced yard so if I were to watch your dog at my place I would take him outside on a leash.

About: Since 2011, I’ve had amazing pet experiences with dogs, from loyal companionship to joyful adventures, shaping my life with love and trust. With that being said I’d love to be given the opportunities on this platform to help others! Weekends are completely open for me, making them an ideal time for drop-in visits and dog walks. I naturally start my mornings early with outdoor activity, so fitting in a walk or check-in visit is a seamless part of my routine rather than an afterthought. Throughout the day I'm out and about running errands, which means I'm already on the move and happy to swing by for a midday visit. While I do have social plans some evenings, mornings and afternoons are consistently available and I'm always happy to work around your pet's schedule. Dogs have been a central part of my life from day one — I grew up surrounded by them and currently share my home with two dogs of my own. This lifelong experience means I genuinely understand canine behavior, body language, and what it takes to keep a pup happy, comfortable, and safe. As a drop-in visit and dog walking provider, my focus is entirely on your dog in their own familiar environment — the place they feel most secure. Every visit is attentive and personalized, ensuring your pet receives dedicated one-on-one care, a reliable routine, and plenty of love while you're away. You can trust that your dog is in experienced, caring hands. I treat every client's pet with the same commitment and affection I show my own — because to me, it's never just a job.

Rayna was excellent! She left great detailed notes and multiple pictures after each of her drop- ins. She took great care of our senior dog’s needs and also went above and beyond with spending extra time just keeping him company. We will definitely request Rayna as a sitter for our dog again.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Grand Forks

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Grand Forks on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 87 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Grand Forks. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Grand Forks 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 Grand Forks 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 .

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.

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 Grand Forks with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.

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.
