“Alyssa and Zach came to stay with my dog and cat while I was out of town. I knew that I could trust them to take care of my dog Lola. I had recently adopted her and wanted someone I trust to stay with her as she was still adjusting to new routines and places. They were so fantastic!”
“Dorothy was wonderful! Super communicative, sent pictures while I was away, and took care of Taco very well. I will definitely ask her to sit for Taco again in the future.”
“Vanessa was fantastic! We were able to relax and enjoy our time away because we knew that our cats were being taken care of by someone who is attentive and caring. We are very grateful for Vanessa and will continue booking with her!”
“Madeleine was so awesome! She kept me updated throughout her stay and gave my dogs the love and attention they needed. She’s super personable and just the best! Super thorough and very detailed! Highly recommend and I’ll definitely rebook with her if she’s free! Thank you!!”
“Tanna was amazing with our dogs & cat. She gave special attention to each one including playtime. Her compassion for animals is unmatched. She was gracious in our home & beyond trustworthy. Anyone lucky enough to hire Tanna should do so without any worries. We hope we'll be able to book her again another time!”
“Lauren was very attentive to my two dogs and their needs. Both on meds which she gave them, and plenty of potty breaks. The dogs loved her. Wouldn't hesitate to use her again!”
“Isaac has walked my pups several times and house/dog sat them twice now. He’s always very responsive and I feel confident that he is taking good care of them. Will definitely continue to use his services!”
“Marissa was outstanding! Perfect communication and pictures were sent daily, which we loved and greatly appreciated! Our flight got delayed which caused us to miss our connecting flight and we had to stay an extra day. Marissa was very accommodating and understanding of that and took care of our dogs perfectly! We love her and will definitely be scheduling any sitting needs in the future.”
“Kimmie was so professional and reliable, house and pet sitting. She took great care to follow my dog’s special feeding needs. She sent regular updates and pictures, so I was confident my fur baby and home were well taken care of!”
“Nelson did a great job watching our four animals. Communication was clear, everything was handled responsibly, and we came home to happy pets and a well-kept house. Would absolutely book again.”
About: Hi! I’m Paige, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have 10+ years of hands-on animal experience, from raising rabbits and sheep to caring for animals with very different personalities, routines, and needs. What sets me apart from a typical pet sitter is that my experience goes far beyond dogs and cats. I’m comfortable around farm animals and have experience with daily animal care, feeding, handling, grooming, and keeping a close eye on behavior and health. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their individual routine, personality, and quirks. Whether your pet needs an energetic play session, a calm companion, or someone experienced with animals who need a little extra care, I’m happy to help! I can fit pet care in on weekdays or weekends! As a college student, my schedule is very flexible and allows me to spend time needed with your pets! When caring for pets in their home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable in their own environment. I follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets have a clean, safe space while they’re in my care. There will NEVER be any guests. I also understand that every pet is different. I take the time to learn their individual habits, preferences, feeding routine, and any special instructions so they receive care that feels familiar and stress-free.
About: I have been a proud Golden Retriever owner for over five years and truly enjoy caring for dogs. I love taking my dog on walks, playing fetch and hide-and-seek, and teaching obedience commands with patience, consistency, and lots of love. I understand the importance of providing dogs with exercise, attention, structure, and affection, and I will care for your pet as if they were my own. Pet care is my side kick passion, I'm looking to do pet sitting full time over the weekends. As a responsible professional and dedicated pet owner, I understand the importance of reliability, trust, and providing attentive care. I am available primarily available on weekends, from Friday evening through Sunday evening, for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and companionship. I am also happy to care for your pet in the comfort of your own home if that is your preference. If you need assistance during the week, such as evening walks, feeding visits, or check-ins, I am willing to work with you to accommodate your pet's needs whenever possible. My goal is to provide safe, loving, and dependable care so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Although my property does not have a fenced yard, we have a large outdoor space where your furry friend can safely enjoy time outside under my close supervision. I prioritize safety and never leave pets unattended outdoors. Inside our home, pets are treated like family. We allow our own dog on the furniture, so your pet is welcome to relax and make themselves comfortable. They will have the freedom to roam the house in a safe, loving environment rather than being confined. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines. If your preference is for your pet to be crated at certain times, I am happy to follow your instructions and maintain the schedule they are accustomed to. My goal is to provide care that aligns with your preferences and helps your pet feel secure, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
“Melissa was great! We have a timid but loving dog and he warmed up to her right away. Everything was just as we left it when we returned home and Melissa will be our first choice in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Moorhead
Zachary went above and beyond when taking care of our pets and house sitting! His communication and professionalism was top notch and I have nothing but great things to say. He always sent recaps of the day and plenty of photos, and he was so respectful of our home during his stay. We HIGHLY recommend his care!
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!
Brooke stayed with our two dogs for a week and took such great care of them. She followed their routine, kept in touch while we were away, and left everything clean and ready for my parents when they arrived. We really appreciated her help and will definitely have her back again!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
