“Caroline stayed at my house with my cat, Buffy, while I went on vacation. She was great! Received many pictures and she even watered my plants! I would book her again and recommend her to friends. Thanks Caroline!”
“Sam took great care of our pups while we were out of town for five days! He sent lots of great pictures and updates to help us feel comfortable. He found ways to get our dogs exercise while also keeping them safe with the extremely hot weather. He was very reliable and we would definitely use him in the future!”
“Madison took great care of our boys while we were out of town for 5 days. She had great communication and sent lots of pictures. Boys were well taken care of, and we came home to a clean house. We will definitely reach out to her again for future needs. Thank you so much!”
“Mariah did an amazing job pet sitting for us while both my husband and I traveled on business. She was communicative and very kind to our pets. They instantly took a liking to her. I was very relieved to know they were in good care and not stuck in boarding facilities. She also left our home clean after the stay, even washing the sheets she slept on (which was not expected!) We truly appreciated her services and will utilize her in the future!”
“Elizabeth did a great job watching our two dogs during the weekend. She was very responsive and easy to work with. She provided updates and photos as well. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will look to rebook with her in the future.”
About: I've had big dogs and little dogs in my life and in my families for years!!! I love pets and genuinely care about their needs and love! I will give your precious family pet the love, care and all the snuggles they deserve while you are away! I work full-time M-F. 8:30-4:30. I am only 3 minutes away from my work and my job is flexible to come and go if needed! I am off on holidays and almost always around the area. I always come home for lunches and am able to let your pet out for a potty break and a quick walk and play time. I am also willing to come to your home and let your pet (s) out for a quick walk and little play time at your home if you are going to be gone longer than your pet is used to. I live in a large apartment with a big balcony that dogs can sit and watch outside or if they just want to be outside! It has 3 fenced run areas and right on a walking path. There is an elevator since I live on the 3rd floor for pups that can't make the stairs. There are lots of dogs in the building. I am also willing to come to your home, whatever is best for your pet! I will provide all the love, care and snuggles that your pet deserves and needs. Pets are free to sit on my furniture or sleep on the bed or whatever they prefer. I have a large basket of dog toys, bones and treats.
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!
“Lori took such great care of Frankie! I am so grateful to her for staying with him and taking such good care of him. I will definitely have Lori stay with him again. I am sure Frankie Lee misses her already??”
“Caroline stayed with my 3 cats, one of which is a handicapped cat. She also cared for 3 foster cats. She sent photos and let me know how they were doing while I was away. She was great at communication. Cats were well cared for and happy when I returned. I will definitely book Caroline again!”
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 10+ years of experience pet sitting for both cats and dogs. I have a 3.5 year old pit bull mix who is full of love and energy. We have completed 4 obedience classes and she even has a few AKC trick titles! I have also taken classes to train my own (future) service dog and worked with dog behaviorists. I am very familiar with reactive dogs (my pup is on her own reactive journey!) and am comfortable helping dogs work through that in walks and muzzling if needed. I also have experience with special needs dogs including blind and dogs with amputations. I am happy to make any accommodations your pup needs! All dogs are good dogs!!! I am happy to bath, brush, ear care, and teeth cleaning if wanted for an extra fee. Happy to provide references as well if requested! I hope to meet you and your pet soon! I am happy to come by for as many walks as needed during the day! I can be very flexible and am happy to set up a regular schedule if wanted! I own my own business from home so if I stay in your home, the pets are not left alone for more than a few hours at a time if I run errands or have an event. Because I own my business, I am also able to accept same day booking and help out in a pinch if needed! I am very flexible and willing to enforce any rules you might have for your pet. My dog sleeps in bed with me and your dog is more than welcome to do the same if they are allowed! I can take pups out for as many walks and potty breaks as needed and we will have lots of play time to build a relationship (I believe that is the most important part of caring for animals!)
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all types through daily routines, playtime, and consistent attention. I’m patient, observant, and adaptable, able to meet each pet’s unique needs. I’m comfortable administering basic medications, feeding on schedule, providing exercise, and giving gentle, loving care. My goal is always to create a safe, happy, and stress-free environment, so every pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. I provide loving, attentive pet care throughout most of the week, working around my classes, labs, and weekly commitments. Outside of my Tuesday and Thursday classes, Wednesday lab, and evening activities like Bible study, church, and sorority chapter, I have flexible time to walk, play with, and care for pets. I make sure every animal in my care gets consistent attention, exercise, and affection, so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and safe. I treat every pet like part of my family, whether in my home or yours. I follow their routines, provide fresh food and water, and keep their space clean and comfortable. I love giving pets attention, playtime, and cuddles, but I also respect their boundaries when they need space. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and happy environment so both pets and owners feel relaxed and confident in my care

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Grand Forks
Lizzy was an amazing rover to use when we needed someone last minute to watch our two dogs. Her communication, preparedness, and flexibility were incredible. Even when things got difficult, and one of our pups got sick, she handled it appropriately and went above and beyond to take care of the situation. It’s hard being away from your dogs, but Lizzy gave us peace of mind while we were away!
Kelly and her partner were the best! They took such great care of all of our animals and home while we were away and sent regular updates and photos. They stuck to our normal pet care routine to a T and left the house totally spotless for us to come home to. We will absolutely be using Kelly again for future pet sits!
Caroline stayed with my 3 cats, one of which is a handicapped cat. She also cared for 3 foster cats. She sent photos and let me know how they were doing while I was away. She was great at communication. Cats were well cared for and happy when I returned. I will definitely book Caroline again!
Jill was PHENOMENAL. She took such great care of my babies. I was provided with many pictures, videos, and updates daily. My dogs are no easy task and she did great with them. She spoiled them daily, so much so I don’t even think they missed me (which is rare because their separation anxiety is through the roof). One of my dogs is a medical nightmare at the moment and needs medicine daily plus being on restricted activity, she did great with him. I am usually very worried about leaving my dogs with anyone but I was relieved when I found her. This is the first time I’ve ever left my dogs and have not been worried sick. I will definitely be booking with Jill again in the future and I highly recommend you do too. I cannot rave enough about how amazing of a person she is and how amazing she is with dogs. If you are leaving town and need someone to watch over your babies, book with Jill!!

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 Grand Forks 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 Grand Forks 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 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!
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.
