“First time leaving my puppy, Ollie, with a sitter. Adam was the perfect sitter for my little, timid pup. He knew how to make Ollie comfortable with him, was knowledgeable of dog training techniques, responsive to any questions I had, and left pics and comments. Ollie was well taken care of and my vacation was worry free.”
“Julia is very thorough and responsible. She did a great job handling our rescues (who get very nervous). We wanted someone who was a dog lover and could handle their quirks, and that’s what we got!”
“Marissa is so dependable and mature beyond her years. She is great with animals and truly is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the wellbeing of the furbabies. She went well above and beyond and did so in such a kind way. I highly recommend Marissa to care for your pets.”
About: I’ve cared for friends and family members pets throughout the years, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I work full-time during the week, but I have plenty of availability for pet care! I’m available on weekdays after 5pm and have flexibility throughout the weekends. I’m happy to work around your schedule and make sure your pets get the attention and care they need. I live in a comfortable apartment with a nice grassy area nearby that’s perfect for taking dogs outside for walks and playtime. I live with my husband, and we don’t have any pets of our own yet, so we’re excited to give your pets plenty of love, attention, and care!
About: From 8 weeks old to senior pups, I’ve seen it all! Whether it’s basic canine knowledge, walking, bathing, medication administration, or pet snuggles, I’ve got you covered! I work full time M,W,Th,F (every Tuesday off) from 8:00am-5:00pm. With 2 dogs of my own (cavalier/shih tzu/bichon (17lb) and golden retriever (60+ pounds), we have a timely feeding and walking routine. Your pup will fit right in! With a two story house, patio, and open yard with a walking path nearby, the opportunities are endless for your pups needs to be met! Your pet can snuggle up on the furniture and/or bed or be crated if that is your preference.
About: I've grown up with vastly different dogs; my first was a grumpy senior cocker spaniel and my last was the sweetest, smartest Australian Shepard/blue heeler. I've also taken care of friends' and family's pets like my aunt's deaf pitbull and my cousin's St. Bernard. Needless to say, I have a wide range of pet experience. I'm currently an online graduate student, which means I have flexibility to work around yours and your pet's schedule. I'm available most days with available times from early morning to late evening. It's important for a pet to feel safe in their home. It's important to follow a pet's boundaries, I try to cater to their needs and their routine.
“Karissa is absolutely wonderful! We have had her watch our 4 kids (2 dogs and 2 cats) multiple times while we were on vacation. They are always excited to see her. When she stays at our house she left everything clean and picked up. I highly recommend her”
About: I have a well trained puppy and have been working with my roommates dogs and cats for the last four years. I love to care for the fur babies. I work part-time at CCRI on weekdays so i can make ample time for your pet's routine. I can stop by as much as needed. I have a fenced backyard, a super friendly puppy and can have extra kennel if you need your dog to sleep in a crate/ kennel
“Julia did a fantastic job! She got some sweet pictures of our kittens and was very responsive with minor requests. We were thankful she was able to help. We would definitely book her again.”
About: Having grown up with dogs, I understand how important they are as family members. As a graduate student living away from home, I especially miss spending time with my family's dogs. I’ve also cared for my friends’ dogs, so I know every pet has their own personality and routine. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll make sure they get all the walks, playtime, cuddles, love, and attention they need while following their regular routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and happy! As a graduate student, I have class Tuesday and Thursday during the middle of the day and Monday evenings, so I am unavailable during those times. Outside of class, my weekday schedule is flexible. I have the most availability on weekends, and my evenings are almost always free for walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care. I care for every pet as if they were my own, whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in yours. I live in a cozy apartment, but I’m surrounded by many dog-friendly areas and parks, which makes it easy to provide plenty of walks, exercise, and outdoor time. I always make sure pets receive the love, attention, playtime, and cuddles they need while following their normal routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. I also love sending updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away!
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life and love doing so. I have 2 Shih Tzu’s currently and both need prescribed medication. I have been able to comfortably give them the medicine they need for 6 years now. I have also taken care of my friend’s Golden Lab that required on time medication and food to be given in certain intervals and specific orders. I have taken care of many family friends dogs and was looking into what I could do to look after more. I am confident in giving medicine and comfortable spending the night to watch your dogs while also checking on them throughout the day. As of right now I work on weekdays so I could only do Friday afternoon-Sunday night. I can spend the night on days that are mentioned if needed and would also check on the dogs throughout the day. If it is specified by the owner to play with or take the dogs for a walk I am more then willing to do so. I spend a lot of time either sitting or playing with them. My dogs let me know kind of when they are done playing and just sit with them for as long as I am available. I give my dogs medicine mostly at night once a day but I have done medicine twice a day in the morning and night previously. I take my dogs for walks that vary in length from .75 miles to 2 miles but I’m comfortable with doing more or less depending on the dog. I have slept with dogs laying around me and I am comfortable with doing so.
About: I have been around animals my whole life and always enjoy caring for them! I have owned a puppy so I am skilled in puppy needs, and I am ready for any challenges I may be faced with! I have also stayed overnight caring for my families pets many times and I really enjoy it! I will be working part-time as a life guard in the summer, so I will definitely have plenty of time to care for your pets! The only other activity I have going on is bringing kids to gymnastics on mondays, wednesdays, and thursdays at 8:30 am, and then camping with my families some weekends! At my house I have a fenced in yard, while at other homes I am very attentive to detail and instructions when caring. I always keep a careful eye to make sure of pet safety.
“Arica is such an amazing pet sitter!! I appreciate the thorough details of her visits and she's so sweet with my boys! I come home to happy and healthy pets, and even my timid boy is even getting more comfortable with her. She understands their body language and keeps them as comfortable as possible with their mom being away. She's now my go to sitter when I need one!”
“Abigail was a fantastic cat sitter! She took care of my little lady just like I asked. She communicated very well and sent multiple photos of Loey everyday while I was gone. She even took in some packages I had delivered which I had asked her to do. Loey and Abigail were the best of friends while I was gone and I highly recommend her!”
About: I am a Veterinary Technology student at NDSU with a passion for helping all kinds of animals. I have professional pet care experience working at a pig barn, vet clinic, impound, and pet store. This has given me a vast experience with animals of all species and care levels. I am well versed in providing medications and have even raised a litter of kittens. I also love animals of the feathered and scaled variety and would be happy to provide them with care. I am a college student with plenty of spare time to take care of your furry companions. I can easily visit 3 times a day and could make accommodations for more visits if necessary. I am willing to care for your babies at your home or even at mine. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats so there will be lots of play time if you wish. I also have separate spaces if needed such as an extra room and fenced in back yard. I am able and willing to do nail trims and bathing if necessary as well as make sure they take any necessary medications. With me they will have lots of time outside and lots of time to play.
About: Hello! I am a current student at North Dakota State University studying animal science on a pre-veterinary track. I am very passionate about pet care and taking care of animals. I have previously worked in pet boarding working with dogs, cats, rodents and even birds. I love animals of all kinds and would love to help you out with your pets! I have a pretty flexible schedule considering I am in college. This being said, it is not optimal for me to need to be with a pet 24/7. I do prioritize class and extracurriculars, but would love to spend all my free time caring for animals! I currently have two cats and a dog at home. Along with my extensive knowledge since working at a boarding facility (which is connected to a vet clinic as well) I am very confident in my pet safely skills.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 8 years old. I was always responsible for my dogs growing up which including: feeding them on time, walking them at least once a day, and giving them a bath at home at least once a month. I made sure they were played with and worn out so they will get a good night sleep. I am a college student but during the summer I don’t have job, because I can only work a month. I am available mostly everyday though so I’m able to take care of your pets at any given moment! I have a fenced half an acre yard at home with a puppy who loves to play, and a shy dog who won’t bit, but will try to avoid yours as much as possible.
About: We have always been dog lovers our whole life and was finally able to adopt one of our own three years ago. Mae is our sweet loving girl and we couldn’t imagine life without her. Dogs and animals hold a special place in our hearts! I am a teacher and my husband is a nurse. Over the weekends we find any way possible to hang out with Mae, take her for walks, to the dog park, and of course to get sweet treats. During the week we always find plenty of time for walks and lots of love and belly scratches on the couch! Mae and other dogs roam free in our house! We have a fenced in backyard to allow for lots of play time, and inside they are more than welcome on any bed or couch!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Moorhead stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Moorhead 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!
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.

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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
