“We booked Isaac only a few days before our trip..he quickly responded and we even got in a meet and greet! Our pup loved Isaac as soon as he walked in the door. Loki was happy and content when we came home from our trip...which is a good sign that he was well taken care of! Isaac also started teaching Loki some new tricks while we were away...which is a bonus! We do recommend him for all your dog sitting needs.”
“Alyssa and Zachary were so amazing with our animals. They provided plenty of updates with photos and took the time to make sure each of our pets’ needs were met. I felt very at ease knowing that my pup and kitties were in their care :) Would happily recommend these two, and will definitely be using their services again.”
About: I love animals! I have been with dogs and cats my whole life, ranging from different breeds and sizes. I Have had yorkie, cocker spaniel and a Newfoundland as well. Experience with puppies and elderly dogs. No issues handling big dogs or small. Any age as well! Need some love while I’m in college without my dog. Let me know if you have any questions! I am a college baseball player for NDSU. My class schedule is almost all online so I am only gone for a max of 2 hours at a time. I can assure you I will have the time and dedication needed to make your furry friends feel at home. I am in a one bedroom apartment alone that is extremely quiet and secure. It is a high end apartment that is strict about no smoking, the security and environment suitable for pets.
“Callan watched our corgi for just over a week in our home. She was amazing. She sent photos nearly everyday and texted about their time together. She was extremely considerate and left our home better than we left it. In addition to watching our little guy, she brought in packages and watered our flowers. I highly recommend and plan on asking her to watch our dog and home again!”
“Wyneta was the best! I had to leave town for the holidays and left my two cats behind. I was nervous to ask someone to help me on Christmas, but luckily for my fur babies and I, she was available. She was very thorough and kept me updated constantly. She even made them some salmon to add to their meals :) I highly recommend her for dog or cat needs”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of various sizes from a young age. I have grown up with very large dogs. I have experience boarding and training dogs in Minnesota with the organization Pack Evolution MN. I work a hybrid job and spend lots of time at home throughout the week. My partner and I both stop at home several times in a work day to let our own Labrador out. Whether your dog is very active or very laid back, I can match their energy! I love to take dogs for longer walks if they are able to, as it gives them something to look forward to in their day! I have several enrichment toys in the house as well.
About: Able to give your dog long walks and play time. I’ve had a dog since I was born and have experience in both taking care of cats and dogs. I’m currently in school but have other family members at home willing to help take care of your pet. Will have regular eating times and lots of potty breaks. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I do have a neighborhood where we are able to go on long walks. Along with a big house for play time.
About: Currently a registered nurse. Worked in a vet clinic and went to vet tech school. Has worked with many different dog breeds and temperaments. Has worked with reactive dogs. I work full time in Jamestown so I would be able to assist with Jamestown pets during the week. Then I’m home on weekends so I could board during weekends. I have a fenced yard. I have three cats but if your dog is not cat friendly I would keep the dog in a separate room where they would still receive lots of attention.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Moorhead
So amazing! Zachary stayed with our two dogs for 9 days! They loved him and we came home to happy, healthy pups. Zachary was also very thoughtful about our home while he stayed, cleaning up, getting mail etc. If we need any other services we will always rebook with him. Communication was always timely and clear and we got tons of pictures! We have never left our dogs this long before and are so happy we found such a great person to care for them. I'm sure they will miss him after spending so much time with him too.
Ivy was absolutely wonderful with Bear and Bella! She even took the time to come over and meet them beforehand, which we really appreciated! She stayed at our house while we were gone and took great care of both pups. It was such a relief knowing they were comfortable in their own home and being well taken care of. We really appreciated her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies! We would absolutely have her watch Bear and Bella again! ❤️🐾
Brooke has a 5 star rating for a good reason, she is simply the best sitter in the area. Brooke not only took excellent care of our two dogs but also are home. She even went above and beyond giving our dogs an extra potty break the day we returned from our trip.
I cant say enough GREAT things about Nicholas! This is the first time we utilized this service and the longest we have been away from our fur babies. We met, he asked alot of questions ( which I loved) took notes. Then he sent us pictures and updates throughout our trip. Please don't hesitate to reach if you need a trustworthy, dependable person to take care of your family members!!
Megan was fantastic in all the ways!! She communicated clearly and often. Her warm and friendly personality made our dogs feel like she was one of the gang, and we are thankful they could be so well cared for in their own home. We received several pictures as well. Thank you, Megan! We highly recommend her as a dog sitter!
Julia did so good taking care of our dog while we were away. She gave us updates and the cutest pictures. Her communication is great and it was very easy to talk with her. We truly felt so comfortable and happy to have her taking care of our girl. We will definitely be rebooking again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Moorhead is $41 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $56 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.
As of October 2026, there are 119 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Moorhead. 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 Moorhead 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 Moorhead 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 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!
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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
