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.
“Once again, Marissa knocked it out of the park! My house looked great, my dog was happy and she sent pictures throughout the weekend. Looking forward to having her help us out again in the future!”
About: I have over two years of experience caring for dogs and cats in a daycare and boarding setting, along with additional experience caring for pets for friends and family! I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from playful puppies and kittens to laid-back seniors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, and administering medications. I’m also trained in dog and cat CPR and first aid, so you can feel confident knowing your pets are in safe, caring hands while you’re away. I’m currently a Veterinary Technology student at NDSU, and I love being able to combine my education and hands-on experience to provide the best care possible for every pet! I’m currently a college student looking to share some extra love and snuggles with your pets! While I do have classes to work around, my schedule is fairly flexible. I’m available most weekends and select weekdays, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and give them plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine to help them feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away! For walks, I provide safe, enjoyable exercise and time to explore. During drop-in visits, I take care of feeding, potty breaks, litter boxes, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. For overnight stays, I maintain their normal routines and make sure they feel safe and cared for. With over two years of professional experience and as a current Veterinary Technology student at NDSU, I’m committed to providing safe, loving, and reliable care for every pet!
About: I have always loved animals and animals have always loved me! I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I helped raise pitbull and mini poodle puppies and I've also helped raise kittens. I'm open to seeing more animals like birds and reptiles! I currently have an open schedule. This may change in a few days but as of right now, i can do anytime. As long as it's at the customer's house. I follow strict rules and procedures put in place for me in your home. I'll bathe your pets, feed them of course, give them love and affection and make sure they go to the potty. If it's a cat I'll make sure to scoop the litter boxes twice a day. I'll even clean your house if you want me to. I'll also make sure your pet stays hydrated and attend to any special needs they may have.
“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: Growing up on a rural farm, I have lots of experience with dogs, cats, and all sorts of animals. Since I have this experience, I do particularly well with multiple animals in the home. I can't wait to help your pet feel happy and comfortable while you're away! I only accept pet-sitting offers when I'm able to give the pets my full attention. Due to this I can be as present as the pet parent needs me to be. I will always be happy to communicate how frequently you need me to be present. I try to mimic the pet's typical schedule as much as possible. If they are used to a routine filled with regular walks, a lot of indoor time, a specific eating period, etc., I'll try to match that routine to offset the missing pet parent. So long as I know what their normal schedule is, I'll try to match it to the best of my ability.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for a large majority of my life! It all started with my grandma who has been doing it for as long as I can remember. I would always watch and sit with her while she was dog and cat sitting for many years. I can do anything from walking, feeding, playing, cleaning up after, and overall making sure your pet is happy and healthy while you are away! I’m currently working on with kids Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 2-6 so part time, which I love! I also have classes at NDSU Monday, Wednesday, and Friday but only from 10-11:50 so pet sitting can easily fit into my schedule! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to create a safe, comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s needs. This includes feeding them on schedule, providing plenty of fresh water, giving lots of attention and playtime, and following any special instructions from the owner. I also keep their space clean and watch for any signs of health issues, so I can respond quickly if needed. Whether at my place or theirs, the goal is to keep pets happy, calm, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I have had experience dog sitting since I was 10 years old. I grew up taking care of dogs in my neighborhood and my family, and I have experience sitting for dogs big and small! I am currently working a part time job and will have afternoons available to play with your pups! I also am available on weekends the full day to assist as needed. I know every pet is different, so I'll take the time to learn their routine and make sure they feel comfortable while you're away. I'll follow all of your instructions carefully, keep your home clean and secure, and give your pet lots of attention, playtime, and affection. I'll also send updates and photos so you always know how they're doing.
About: Hello, My name is Taylor and I love dogs and have grown up with them my entire life. I am comfortable caring for them in your home. I enjoy walking and helping with training while dog sitting. I am comfortable with small and larger dogs breeds as I grew up with cocker spaniels and labs. I have two of my own dog's, they are Australian shepherds. They are 6 and 7 years old but still act like puppies. I would love to share my love for dogs with your pet. I have volunteered at a local dog shelter in the past and have lots of experience working with many different breeds, ages and types of dogs. If you have any questions or are interested in working with me please feel free to message me. My schedule is pretty flexible in December and I am open to working around your schedule as well.
About: I enjoy walking and being outside! I am currently a NICU nurse and only work 3 days a week so I like to find ways to be outside in my free time! I have experience with all sorts of breeds, ages and sizes. We just recently raised and sold a litter last fall! My dog went back home to be on the farm where she has more freedom! I am missing having a dog for sure! I enjoy using pets as a ways to get outside and exercise! I enjoy the happiness each dog brings me, and look forward to experiencing more! I am very good at following directions and pay attention to detail very carefully! I am very observant to each dogs needs and flexible to what they need!
About: When people ask if I have any kids, my response is that I have dogs. My dogs are my family and yes I do celebrate their birthdays. I have had a dog in my house since I was 3yrs old. I have taken care of neighbors pets. I recently rescued a puppy from a farm and organized and found a fur-ever loving home for her. I am still in communication with her owner and get updated pictures. My dream growing up was to have as many dogs like in the movie "101 dalmations". I have taken care of puppies, kittens, bunnies, ferrets, goats, chickens, and ducklings. I am able to stay the whole weekend at owners home. I am able to walk dogs during the week and weekend. The latest drop-in visit I can do is 10pm. I give my full attention to the pets I am caring for. I keep them busy with play or just someone to sit by. I understand it is stressful not only to your pet but also to you as well having to leave them with someone or at a kennel, I feel the same way! I keep meals on schedule and I'm able to administer medications (orally- some need special ways to sneak in 😃). I send picture updates throughout my stay.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 years old, and I’ve worked over two years in doggy daycares. I am able to help train puppies, taking care of senior pups, and I also have basic grooming skills so if they need to get cleaned up I’m the one! I am available from Monday- Sunday and all times of day. I am available for walking, dog sitting, and can help out with basic training and grooming! I make sure dogs get to go outside often, having them get enough physical and mental stimulations , and making sure they get proper nutrition. I also make sure they get a bunch of love and the rest needed
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
Tanna was Amazing! We met with her for a little bit before our trip, our dogs took to her really quick, Barley our newest member sat beside her and looked at her adoringly from the first 5 minutes of her interaction with our dongs. From the first picture she sent to me I knew my dogs felt safe and secure with her watching them. She sent up pictures each day and asked questions if she needed to. I left a list of things such as each dogs bathroom schedule habits, eating habits ect along with going over things in person, she didn't have many questions and my dogs looked happy. There was even a slight hiccup after we booked her, our neighbor said they were going to put up a fence, we purchased a temporary fence for her to feel more confident in watching out dogs and she took everything in stride. Turns out the fence still isn't up, but she was great about things not in her control. My dogs looked relaxed in pictures. I would ask her to watch my dogs again in a heartbeat!
Zachary was awesome. We felt very comfortable having him care for Loki! House looked great as well. And given that the day we left we had some significant plumbing issues with workmen coming and going Zach was flexible and rolled with the inconvenience and did a great job!
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!
Layne was awesome! She was super accommodating for our arrival and departure times. She took our dogs on multiple walks throughout the day, provided constant updates with pictures throughout the entire stay. She additionally left our kitchen and guest room spotless! We did a meet and greet with our pups so she could inquire to their day to day needs. 11/10 service and will be booking with her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Moorhead is $40 per night as of November 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 November 2026, there are 123 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 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 Moorhead. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
