“Patti takes such great care of our big guy Captain Nemo and also does an amazing job of caring for our house while we are away. We will have her back as often as we can go away!!!”
“Colleen and her boyfriend took wonderful care of our dog and cat while we were abroad. They left the house spotless, and Colleen even got our shy cat to come out of his shell! Highly recommend them for peace of mind while you're away.”
About: I care deeply about taking great care of your pets and will treat them like my own! I absolutely love dogs and will make sure that they are safe and happy throughout the whole experience I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule at the moment so don’t hesitate to reach out with any inquiries. Whether it’s a weekend dog/cat sit or weekly/daily walks, I am happy to help. I can drive pets to any walking location if necessary and can also do anything related to feeding or playing with pets. I am open to any requests!
About: My family always had a dog growing up and I have been taking care of other families pets for years. I love animals and understand their needs. Whether it’s a quick walk or boarding, I’m happy to help. I work fully remote! It’s really easy for me to allocate some time during the day and week to care for pets! Love being able to get outside for a quick walk during my work day. Very dog friendly home. I have a large yard at the end of a cul de sac. I am very respectful of a clients home, leaving it exactly how it was left if not better.
About: I have been in the caring business since my teenage years - babysitting my younger siblings, caring for my family dog, running a summer enrichment program for at risk youth, caring for horses at a dude ranch and a western suburbs farm, minding many friends' dogs, and wrangling my own two senior dogs - brother and sister, now 14 years old. (But, so rambunctious for their first 10+ years). I love dogs and will care for your dog just as you would. One of my dogs is now blind and the other requires daily subcutaneous fluids so I am willing and able to help out with any of your pet's special needs as well..... I know how stressful it can be to ensure a routine is kept. Pet first aid and CPR certified. I am currently on a full time job hunt in marketing analytics and very available (with notice) to care for your dogs most days and evenings as I can search and do freelance work remotely. Depending on your dog's needs I can usually provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours in between errands, etc. My calendar will be updated to show days I plan to be away. At this time, I can care for pets in my client's home. I do need to bring my dogs for the overnight portion of the stay but will keep them separate in a room/space of your choosing during the evening (and on bedroom floor at night). They are very dog friendly just very sleepy and do well snoozing someplace quiet.
“I only wish I could give Allegra six stars! Our dog Minka has always had an issue with boarding. She does not like the kennel and she gets very anxious boarding there. I’ve tried to find someone to board her with, but many people will not take shepherds because of insurance issues. I found Allegra on Rover and was impressed with her reviews. Minka does not do well when she first meets a new person and when Allegra came for an initial interview, Minka was not as friendly as she typically is with family and friends. Allegra was not phased in the least and said she was happy to come back and that she preferred working with big dogs. When Allegra came back to babysit for our four day trip once again, Minka greeted her with barking and suspicion. Again, Allegra was not phased in the least and by the time we got home from our short trip, Minka had been sleeping on the bed with Allegra and didn’t want her to leave. I was beginning to think Minka liked Allegra more than me! Allegra also left the house spotless! I was so relieved that Minka finally had a positive boarding experience that I already have already booked Allegra for two more trips. I would recommend Allegra highly and without reservation.”
“Catelyn was very conscientious. She admitted that she was new to sitting for cats, mostly has taken care of dogs, but my cats got on with her well. One is 20 and basically sleeps. Catelyn had her playing with a felt ball. The other is usually very shy and gets snarky with strangers, but Catelyn got her to play as well. She contacted me if she had concerns. She sent pictures frequently. She offered extra assistance if needed. The house was clean when we returned home. Overall a good experience and I would recommend her.”
“Chandler is amazing. This is my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Chandler was thoughtful and thorough, sending me pictures, asking questions and keeping me updated with everything going on . You can tell by the pics that both my puppy and Chandler really enjoyed each other. I will definitely recommend her to any and everyone. Thank you Chandler for having a fun weekend with my little puppy Luna. ?”
About: Hi! I'm Madison. I am offering dog walking, check-in's, and sitting currently. As well as loving care for both cats and dogs. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else's care, so I want to do everything possible to make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and reliable care. I'd love to meet you and your pets! My schedule tends to vary from week to week, but I typically have availability at least 2–3 weekdays each week, along with some weekend availability. I’m happy to coordinate schedules in advance and will do my best to accommodate your needs! Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and love incorporating into my daily routine! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I’m happy to pet sit in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their familiar environment. With advance notice, I can also accommodate pets in my home, which has plenty of great walking areas nearby and a huge park close by for walks and outdoor adventures. I’m also happy to care for cats, including feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving them lots of love and attention. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away!
“Kelly was awesome. From our initial meet and greet to her pupsitting at our home for a few days, the process couldn’t have been any better. Communication was 100%. From the fun photos Kelly sent daily, we could tell our pups were so happy. We have 3 pups and 2 have special needs and she nailed it! We felt totally comfortable and will use Kelly’s service again.”
“I’m so grateful for Hannah spending time with my cat while I was on vacation. She gave me peace of mind and kept me updated. She was great with my shy cat, getting him to warm up to her quickly. I’ll be looking to book with her again for sure!”
About: While I may not have a dog of my own just yet, I’m a devoted cat mom and lifelong dog lover! I’ve grown up around dogs and have plenty of experience caring for the pups of friends and family, whether that means going on walks, keeping them company, or making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their humans are away. I decided to turn my love for animals into something meaningful by connecting with pet parents in my community and lending a helping hand! I understand that your pets are family, and I’ll treat your pup with the same love, patience, and care I give my own cat. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply some extra company and cuddles, I’d love to be there for them! My schedule is pretty flexible! I work part-time at Starbucks just three days a week, and spend most of my remaining time at home balancing schoolwork and fitness. This gives me plenty of availability for last minute dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. Don’t hesitate to reach out with the dates and times you need, and I’ll get back to you asap! Every home and pet has its own routines, and I’m happy to work with yours! Just let me know your house rules, your pet’s needs, and any specific instructions you’d like me to follow beforehand
About: I’ve been a dog owner for the last nine years. For the last few years, my fiancé and I have had four dogs: A puggle mix, a pug, a Shih-poo, and a beagle. Our pug and beagle passed in 2024-2025. 🌈 I have experience with senior dogs, administering medication, and some puppy training. I also have experience bathing animals. I’m generous with the treats and even more generous with the snuggles! I work from 9-5 M-F but am remote on Mondays, Fridays and alternating Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I can do drop in visits for walks any time during weekends and in the evenings and occasional afternoons during the week. We have a fenced in yard at our home, but our babies also get walks. With me, your pet will come first and always be treated like one of my own.
About: I have taken care of dogs for 6+ years. I have walked, fed, and bathed dogs before. I am an animal lover and my hope is that the care I provide puts a smile on the pet and owners faces Work from home and available to house sit/walk/take care of animals. I am also available on the weekends. Can be flexible depending on your needs. I base pet care on the owners preferences, needs, and wants. Please let me know anything your pet needs, schedule, routine, enjoyed activities of your pet etc
“Natalie has stayed at my house and cared for my 50lbs retriever pit mix twice now and she is fantastic. Responsive, responsible, affectionate and loving with my dog! I will continue to hire her and recommend highly!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Natalie. She took care of my 3 cats including a senior who has some special accommodations and medications. She was very kind, thorough, and respectful of my home. My cats can be a bit skittish but they gained comfort with her very quickly. I’ll do my best to rebook with Natalie next time i need a sitter. She made being away from home far less stressful.”
“I'm so glad that Majdoline was able to watch my dog and house-sit over the weekend. She was very quick to respond to any messages and gave several updates throughout the day with a ton of pictures, I never had to worry about a thing. She spent lots of time both giving my dog attention and letting her run around and play in the yard. She left everything in the house very neat and clean as well. I would absolutely ask her to pet-sit for me again!”
“Lindsay was very thoughtfully and an exceptional communicator while taking care of my dog! I came home to a happy pup and well cared for home and I’m so grateful!”
About: I have experience working with dogs and cats through pet sitting and hospital experience. I have owned dogs for the past 16 years, chinchillas for the past 5 years, and hedgehogs for the past 7 years. I am able to detect symptoms and abnormalities that may require medical attention. I enjoy bringing my pets to a variety of places such as state parks, pet stores and public pet events. I am available most weekdays and weekends. I do not mind staying over for overnight care. My time is pretty flexible for now and I am able to drive to locations within an hour radius using my own car. I have a finished basement that would be used for the pets I care for. It has a bathroom with a hand held shower for easy bathing. I have a crate available for use for dogs under 30 pounds. The basement also has direct access to the back yard for easier potty times. The temperature in the basement is cool during the summer. In the winter the temperature would be adjusted using an electric fire place. Dogs would get enrichment through daily walks, puzzle toys and trick training. Cats would have access to the whole basement to free roam but will not have access to outdoors.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Minot
Patricia did a great job caring for our kitties. One gets a bunch of medications, and the other gets stressed without human company, so it’s not easy leaving them. She was so communicative, flexible and thoughtful. The cats were happy to see us when we got home, which is their way of saying they had a good time.
Patty was so lovely. She took very good care of my cat Sebby and he was a happy guy when I arrived home. She sent photos and updates, and left my home spotless-she even washed the sheets in the guest room where she stayed. I’ve already asked her to stay with Sebby again:)
Jennifer and Matt were amazing with our dog, Kenzo. We were out of town for a week, and they house sat while we were gone. They spent a ton of time at our house with Kenzo, and we got a ton of pictures. Kenzo was very happy when we got back. Would definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Minot is $89 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $89 and $89 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Minot 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 Minot 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 Minot 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 with handling special pet needs in Minot. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
