“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!”
About: I have cared for animals my whole life. Beginning when I was about 6, I was put in charge of feeding my family’s dogs morning and evening. In middle school and beginning of high school, I cared for over 75 chickens daily. In high school, I animal sat for all types of animal from dogs to horses and beyond. I used this animal sitting as my supervised agricultural experience for the Future Famers of America club and received a gold in the state competition. Being a college student away from my dogs makes me want to spend even more time with yours! I’m a student at UND and am able to give your pup the attention they need. I am free most evening and weekends. My schedule is highly flexible and is able to be changed quickly with developing doggy needs. I follow owners’ instructions exactly because I care for the dogs’ wellbeing and the owners know their best friends the best. I can take them on walks no matter the temperature, keep their water fresh and full, and keep their stomachs happy with the proper amount of food at the right times. I provide companionship when the owners are gone, knowing most dogs will miss their owners greatly.
“Blaize was absolutely amazing! She stayed at our home and took incredible care of our French Bulldog, Zeus. He loves attention, and she gave him all the love, care, and affection he needed, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was also very respectful of our home, keeping everything clean and well looked after. One of the things we appreciated most was the daily updates. Blaize sent us photos and messages every day, so we always knew Zeus was happy, healthy, and in great hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better house and pet sitter. I would highly recommend Blaize to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable for their house-sitting or pet-sitting needs. We will definitely be asking her to watch Zeus again!”
“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??”
“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: 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.
“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!”
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!
About: I have been watching dogs and cats for people for the last many years and have loved everyone of them. I love when they ask me again to watch the same dogs. we get such a bond and I get very excited when I can go back to watch them again. I also have had many dogs and cats when I was younger. I am not working and have a pretty open schedule. I always have time to love them like they are mine. I am such a animal lover I have 4 cats and 1 dog that get along great with other animals. I will care for them and love them as they are mine.
“I am thrilled to have met Victoria and have her spend a week with my dog, Penny. I have more trips coming up and finding someone to stay with my slightly reactive rescue girl has always made me anxious. Penny loved her time with Victoria and I was so comfortable knowing she was in good care when I was on spring break with my family. I left detailed instructions for Penny's care and Victoria asked very specific questions to clarify what my expectations were to meet Pennys needs and schedule.I received regular photos and reports that really put me at ease. So happy to have met someone so capable and nurturing.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Grand Forks
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!!
Fern and Nimbus were taken great care of! Elizabeth worked with my schedule and took time to meet my critters before I left, Fern was nervous and wasn’t eating but Elizabeth whipped up some food that Fern enjoyed! Highly recommend, she made my animals feel at home, even when I was away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Grand Forks on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 46 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Grand Forks. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
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.
