“Marissa is the absolute best with dogs! Luna has been with going to her for two weeks now and has loved every minute of it. She is now completely comfortable staying with Marissa. She loves playing with Amelia and all the new friends she has met there! Marissa consistently sends updates about how Luna is doing throughout the day and takes the cutest photos! I hands down recommend her doggy services!! I am confident she will take great care of your pup!”
“Julie is so amazing with our pug. She is so warm and welcoming when he comes in the door. She updates us with pictures throughout his stay. She takes great care of him. We know he enjoys it because he gets excited when we pull up to the house. I would recommend Julie 100%.”
About: Six years of life with a large dog will teach you things no certification can. I know what it means to be fully committed to an animal — the routines, the quirks, the way a big dog takes over your couch, your schedule, and your heart. That hands-on experience is what I bring to every sit. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my day — it’s built into it. I work from home full-time, which means no long stretches alone for your dog and flexible walk times that adapt to their needs rather than a rigid schedule. We also have a fully fenced yard with open-door access throughout the day, so dogs can move in and out freely and get fresh air and exercise whenever they want — no waiting, no scheduling. Your dog stays in a real home environment — not a crate, not a kennel. With a fenced yard, open outdoor access throughout the day, and someone home full-time, they’ll have space to roam, play, and relax on their own schedule. I follow your feeding, medication, and routine instructions closely and send regular updates so you’re never left wondering how they’re doing.
“Shrylle is absolutely amazing! Our pup is only 10 weeks old and felt right at home immediately. She sent pics and info during his stay. She was so kind and generous. I will totally be using her sitting services again. I would recommend her with highest regard to take care of your special pet.”
About: For the past 8 years, I’ve been caring for pets with the same love and attention I give my own. My experience includes everything from daily walks and playtime to feeding routines, medication reminders, and keeping pets calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and activity levels—shy pets who need patience, energetic pups who crave interaction, and seniors who need a gentle, steady hand. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs and always prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. Whether it’s sticking to a detailed routine, offering extra cuddles, or providing plenty of exercise, I make sure every pet feels secure and cared for. Pet parents can count on me for reliable updates, thoughtful attention to detail, and a warm, trustworthy presence. Pet sitting is my full-time job, so I’m able to give your pets plenty of time and attention throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I’m flexible with scheduling to match your pet’s normal routine. Since I don’t have pets of my own right now, I happily get all my cuddles, playtime, and companionship from the pets I care for. Your fur babies get my full focus—and lots of love—every visit. Most of my pet care takes place in the pet owner’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and can stick to their normal routine. I’m also open to boarding for pets who do well in a calm, indoor environment. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I make sure all outdoor time is safe, supervised, and on-leash. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first.
About: I have been raised with dogs my entire life! Through my parents, I was taught that animals deserve unconditional love and plenty of patience. I have one furbaby myself, a labradoodle named willow! I frequently booked clients through Rover in the past and really enjoyed all experiences! While my living arrangement and life circumstance has changed in the past three years, my willingness to help doggo parents feel that they have a safe sitter to turn to remains the same! :) I am currently on summer break from my doctoral program, but I am a full-time mom to my infant. I will be able to provide services such as check ins with ease! I have provided check in services for several families! I am used to following the routine that they lay out for me, and follow through with whatever they need done for their fur baby while they are away!
“KayLee was great and took such great care of our Saige. Love that she took the time to do a meet and greet with her pups when we dropped off to let them get acquainted before I left. The detailed update when we picked her up was great as we very much appreciated knowing how Saige did and that her nightly routine went smoothly! She was so tuckered out she fell asleep on the short ride home. Thanks again!”
“Jakob took amazing care of Tig! I was in town for work and needed Tig to be entertained while I sat in meetings. I got lots of pictures and updates and Tig came home happy and tired each day. Will def book again when I’m back in town!”
“My dogs have some separation anxiety and were so comfortable with Bradyn. They didn't seem at all stressed when I picked them up, which tells me a lot of good things about Bradyn. I will definitely board with Bradyn again in the future if I'm in need in the area!”
About: My name is Mikayla! I am a nurse here in Bismarck looking to share some time on my days off with some furry friends. I grew up on a farm and have taken care of every kind of animal imaginable. My husband and I live in a house with a fenced back yard and our own little labradoodle, Coulee. Please feel free to contact me with any inquiries or to schedule a booking. Thanks! :) I am available to dog-sit/walk/board on my days off, and walk evenings I do work. My schedule rotates, so we can communicate a schedule that works for both of us! I have a a labradoodle of my own to keep your pup company and a fenced backyard with plenty of room for your pup to run and play!
About: We always had a dog in the home while growing up. I got Sophie when I first moved out. I work from home so I’m home daily! Our routine schedule includes lots of outside time as well as inside when it’s too hot outside! I’m an animal lover and would love to take care of your dog. I have a fully fenced in large back yard for our dogs to run and play together ! I can crate your dog if you prefer, otherwise he/she is free to roam the house inside and outside! I work from Monday through Friday so I am at home all day to give your pet the time and attention they may need while you are away. I have a nice fenced in yard with a friendly dog who love to run and play. I can kennel your dog during the day or at night if you prefer.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Lincoln commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. Many sitters can respond to messages in under an hour.
To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
