“Jeff was a very good choice for us to leave Sammy in his care. He communicated with us on a regular basis and sent lots of pictures, which allowed us to enjoy our time away, knowing Sammy was comfortable. We were surprised at how quickly Sammy responded to Jeff. He is usually pretty shy. We will definitely rebook him.”
About: I have grown up with dogs, all my life, since I was 3. I love spending time with and caring for my 5 grand dogs and many of my friends have dogs that have taken to me right away. I am good at giving precious attention and love to all animals, especially dogs and given meds to them. I am retire and live in my place by myself, I walk with a friend most mornings. Then if i don’t have errands I am home. I do go to my daughters’ one in Minot and one in MN. I want to walk dogs, so I wouldn’t have them in my home. I also usually wouldn’t be spending time with them in their homes. I would walk them like they were mine, very careful that nothing happens.
“We've now have had Bailee her our pets twice, and we couldn't be happier. She stayed in our home for four days while we were in the hospital with our child. It was such a stressful time, and having someone we completely trusted caring for our pets and home gave us incredible peace of mind. She kept us updated with messages and photos, took wonderful care of our pets, and left our home just as we left it. It was clear our pets were happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away. We are so thankful for her kindness, reliability, and professionalism. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter!”
About: Does your pet shed? It's okay, me too! I've been pet-setting for all kinds of critters. I'm good with small dogs (I'm a chihuahua-whisperer), big dogs, medium and mutt dogs. I can care for elderly animals and multi-pet homes. Like a postal worker, I'm not deterred by "snow, rain, heat, or gloom of night." Unlike a postal worker, I've never been bit or chased (I will encourage zoomies). If Fido loves to play tug-of-war or your pup is more of a doze-in-the-sun type, I'll match their energy. Whatever your medication and meal-time routine looks like, or kinda-silly bed-time ritual is, I'll do my best to reduce any disruption or distress while you're away. I'm currently working in a freelance capacity, so my schedule is fairly flexible. Whether that means you need someone to pop in quickly for some play-time and a bowl re-fill, or arranging an extended/overnight stay, I can arrange my availability. Planning is important! Providing ample time for me to mark off time in my calendar is preferable. I'm a big believer in taking notes and paying attention to details! I'll follow your routine for any medication, feeding, exercise, playtime, and pet-specific preferences to the best of my ability. I'm no green-thumb, but for extended stays, I can also assist with minor plant-care, mail collecting, yard maintenance (sidewalk shoveling, poo pick-up) if needed and the right tools are provided. If you like text/email pupdates or photos, I can be sure to keep you in the loop.
About: I've always had a special bond with animals and I've taken care of dogs and cats of every kind for over 11 years. Neighbors, friends and family have trusted me to treat their furry family member with the best of care when they can't be there. Pets love me too! I'm currently working part-time at home, so I'll have plenty of time to play and care for your pets! I'm available during the week after 2pm with special accommodations for those traveling during the week with advance notice and also on the weekends. My home is safe, secure, quiet and peaceful so your pets can enjoy the tranquility while you're away! There will be plenty of playtime, outside time and rest.
“Ariel was great! Took Fantastic care of our hoard of animals and made sure that our home was perfectly intact when we got back from our Christmas vacation. We appreciated all the photos and updates she sent every day!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 38 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mandan. 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 Mandan 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 Mandan 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 Mandan 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.
