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 have worked at an animal shelter for a couple years. I went to school for Animal Science Major for a semester but then decided to groom dogs. I was a groomer for about 1 year. Now I work full-time at a vet clinic in Grand Forks, ND! I am currently also attending online school for my veterinary technician license! I’m currently working full-time on weekdays until 5pm. I am available later in the evenings on weekdays and also available on weekends anytime of the day! I have a ton of experience with different types of dogs and their behaviors. I am very loving but will be dominant if needed! Your pet will get so much love from me! I find joy in caring for animals and helping them live a full filling and loving life!
“Jaedyn was great with my dogs, Charlie and Lily! She was able to let them out while I was out of town for a few days. She sent so many cute pictures of them during her visit, which I loved! I will definitely be using Jaedyn again when I travel for work.”
About: I’ve spent time volunteering at a humane society in my hometown, where I worked closely with dogs and cats in need of care and attention. I’m comfortable walking and spending time with dogs of different personalities, and I always focus on keeping them safe, calm, and happy. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I'm currently a college student and for the summer, I have a lot of free time and would love to spend it caring for pets like they were my own! I will carefully follow client instructions, feed pets, provide fresh water, clean up as needed, give attention or exercise, ensure safety, and send photo updates during each visit or walk.
About: - Care for elderly dogs -Trained my puppy -Took in two pregnant cats and took care of their kittens -Current cat and dog owner - House sat and was responsible for taking care of both indoor and outdoor cats I am out for college for the summer so I am looking for something to do while I am not in school to earn a little extra money. I want to make sure that all animals live a healthy life and are taken care of even if the owner can’t. Therefore I can cater to the needs of the animal or the situation.
About: I’ve had pets (dogs and cats) for as long as I can remember. I love being around animals especially dogs and cats, but am willing to meet any new awesome pets that you may have. I’ve spent copious amounts of time with animals and am dedicated to keeping in touch with as many pets as possible! I’m currently unemployed and going to school at the University of North Dakota. I have a very open schedule and can work around pretty much anything. Any time frame that you may want me to be available can be worked out with good communication. I grew up training my pets to be obedient and welcoming. I did not have a fenced in yard so training my dogs and cats to stay in my yard was a top priority. I currently live in a pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for animals to play/live. I love to be active with pets, whether that be going for walks, playing with toys, or even sitting and petting with them. I’m very flexible to whatever your pet may want to do, if they need to go for a walk or just have company, either way I can provide for what they need.
“Madi did amazing with our pups! We had to book super last minute and she went above and beyond with them during our time away. She made us feel so at ease being such a long way away from home. ❤️”

Please feel free to reach out and get something scheduled! I am not able to bring client’s dogs to my house however i’m beyond willing to hangout with your pup in your home!

About: Dog owner for 15 years Loves taking dogs on long walks and adventures Dog sitting Feeding dogs Yard clean up Playing with dogs House sitting/dog sitting I’m currently finishing my junior year of high school. In the summer I play legion baseball and would love to care for your dogs between practices and games. I have a car and license and can easily drive to your house to feed, walk, and play so the your dog. I would clean up after your pet and give them lots of love and attention.
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.
“Alli was very flexible with my work schedule and finding a time to meet Peach & was OK with late-night visits. Super convenient to find a dog walker that lives in our building too! Thank you again! :)”

About: I have many years of pet experience as well as 3 dogs at my parents house. I grew up with dogs in my home my whole life. I absolutely adore dogs and am a very responsible and respectful person. I have taught my dogs tricks, and helped with potty training. I also enjoy long walks. I am allergic to cats but not dogs! I am 21 and currently a student. I have cared for all kinds of pets, dogs, bunnies, fish, hamsters I have class during the week but have breaks and am available most of the day. I am open to any schedules you may need! I prefer coming to your home, and am open to any living situation. I will take the dogs to the park, on walks, and hangout in the home. I provide safe and responsible care for your pets.
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: Been around dogs my entire life and absolutely love them. I owned a Jack Russell terrier, a dachshund, and an Australian shepherd. I have also owned a few reptiles including chameleons and bearded dragons. I understand different breeds and individuals have different needs. I would do everything in my ability to meet their needs and be the best sitter for you and your pet! I have many gaps throughout my daily life with my current job. I would be able to visit several times a day with no problem. I follow your pet’s routine, provide food, water, exercise, and attention, keep your home tidy, and send updates so you know they’re safe and happy
About: I grew up with cats and neighborhood dogs, and animals were always a part of my family. Now I have two dogs of my own: a 9-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer/Lab and a 1-year-old Basset Hound. I have experience with all ages, from puppies to grown-ups. I love dogs, but I'm also happy to do drop-ins for cats. I’m currently working part time where I schedule my own hours so I can be available whenever you need! Come fall, I will be back in my teaching position so my hours will be limited to evenings! When I care for your pets in your home, you can count on me to be reliable and accountable every single time. I'll make sure to be super attentive to your pet's needs and always follow their routines, as well as any specific procedures or rules you have in place. Your pet's comfort and your peace of mind are my top priorities.

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.

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 .

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.
