“Saiqa did an amazing job watching our dogs. It was obvious from our meet and greet how much she loves animals. We felt comfortable leaving her with our dogs while out of town for several days. We received pictures several times a day, which I really appreciated. I asked her if she could water my garden and outside flowers and she did without hesitation. If you are looking for a dog sitter I would highly recommend Saiqa!”
About: I have lifelong dog experience, previously worked at an Ohio dog kennel, and enjoy walking friends’ dogs. I provide dependable, patient, loving care for every pet. I plan my schedule carefully to provide reliable walks and visits, giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and consistent care throughout the week and weekend. I follow each pet’s routine, provide fresh water, walks, feeding, playtime, affection, and careful supervision while respecting owners’ instructions and keeping pets safe and comfortable.
“She was amazing! Jessica came over twice before the appointment to meet the dogs and get there schedules down and was amazing while watching them. I don't ask people to walk out dogs while we are away because they are strong and might pull. She called up and asked if it was ok and she would take them out one at a time if need be! Love her and her son, if you are looking for a sitter and she is available please book her!”
About: I love dogs and cats alike, so pet sitting isn't a chore to me. I've grown up having cats and dogs, so you could say I have 20+ years of experience with cats and dogs. I look forward to meeting your fluffy friend soon! I work full-time and pet sit in my free time, so I only book on days when my schedule permits me giving my full attention to your pet and his/her needs. I live just outside of the Air Force base on a 12 acre farm with no animals and plenty of space for your furry friend to stretch his/her legs!
“As always fantastic! I had a last minute work trip and luckily Vanessa was available. I love her updates and always impressed that our kitty comes out and hangs out (has never happened with any sitter before). Forever grateful!!!”
About: I need animals in my life to be happy. I enjoy dogs, cats and birds. Currently there is one dachshund, and two rescue dogs that call my home, their home. Your pet’s schedule will be my schedule for the day. If I am sitting for your pet, that will be my priority. Your pet’s safety is important. All instructions and schedules will be closely followed to give your pet a normal routine and help them be as comfortable as possible while you are away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Minot
Kylee is wonderful with our dogs. She also goes the extra mile by watering my garden and tidying up our house while we are gone. I know that while we are away our dogs and home are in great hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter!!
I genuinely can’t even find the words to describe Amber. She went SO above and beyond, and treated our puppy Peaches completely like her own. She helped so much with her training without us even asking her to, gave Peaches pup cups and took her over to her house to play in her nice backyard with her very friendly dogs. I couldn’t recommend anyone more, nor do I think anyone could ever meet this level of amazingness, so I hope so much that she’s available the next time we go out of town!
Saiqa is amazing at what she does! She kept us updated daily with plenty of photos, and our dogs were happily exhausted when we came home from all the playing and outside time they got to have with her over the weekend. We had no worries leaving our fur babies in such great hands. 10/10, Saiqa is the best!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Minot is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $47 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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
