“This was our first time using this service and we loved it! Crystal was awesome! She was very flexible and took very good care of our pups while we were away. I would 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
“Kathryn did a great job with Pookie and Pumpkin. She shared updates and pictures. I feel she is very trustworthy. She took extensive notes during our meet and greet visit. She followed all of my instructions.”
“Isaac was wonderful with omy shy cat. He accepted a booking on relatively short notice, and he met with me before hand to understand the services required. He made sure our cat had food, water and a clean littlerbox on his daily visits. I would definitely hire again. Thanks, Isaac!”
About: I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was 15. I’ve watched puppies-senior age dogs and adult cats. I believe in positive reinforcement for behavior! I am working part time and have plenty of time in the morning and early afternoon to let your pup out, or get some energy out! I sometimes have availability later in the day too. I will work with whatever is best for your dog in your home! I prioritize positive reinforcement for behaviors and understand that every dog is different so they will have to learn to trust me as I learn to trust them!
“I’ll definitely hire Maria again! I’d never gotten a sitter for my kitty before and was a little nervous but she eased my mind and took excellent care of her while I was gone. Thank you for being so kind and trustworthy!! :)”
“Lauren is great! She’s been my go to for my dogs since I moved to Dilworth. She honors her commitments, treats my pups as her own and always sends the cutest photos to me while I’m not home. Thank you, Lauren! Me and my kiddos appreciate you!”
About: I’ve got quite a bit of experience with all sorts of animals! I grew up with two dogs, one of which had diabetes and required me to give them insulin occasionally, so I’m comfortable being around dogs of all shapes and sizes. I currently have four cats of my own, each with their own personality and temperament, so taking care of cats should be no problem. I love spending time with animals—I will give them all the scratchies and probably send too many pictures, but they will be adored and taken care of while you’re away! I currently work part-time for the City of Fargo and am looking to fill in some free time by hanging out with some animals around the city of Fargo. My shifts are usually short, so I’m able to check on your pets before work, after work, and some times in the middle of the day. I am trustworthy and reliable! While visiting pets in your home, I’ll spend time giving them all the attention and all the pets. And after my visit, I’ll take care to ensure that your house is locked and left with the same care I found it.
“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.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we’ve had such a great experience! Tennille was awesome to work with— she was communicative and clearly caring about our pets’ well-being. :) Would love to have her again!”
“Alyssa and Zachary have been my sitters for about a year now. They have loved my kitty like their own. Unfortunately I am moving out of the area so I won’t be able to use them anymore. I truly do not know how I am going to replace them- they are the only sitters I have ever trusted to take care of Delilah. You will feel comfortable leaving your pets in their care and can trust that they are in the best hands!”
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.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Moorhead is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Moorhead
Isaac was very knowledgeable, interested in the care for our boys, took them on walks which is not the most calm of walks with huskies. We came home to well rested, happy dogs. No issues! He is wonderful and we would recommend him and absolutely will request to rebook!
Crystal is so attentive and once again won over a skittish new kitty who needs meds. He’s scared of most new people so I was thinking he’d have to miss his meds at least the first night because I didn’t think he’d come out for her. But Crystal was patient and took the time to earn his trust and was able to get him to take his meds on the first visit! She really has a way with cats!
Vanessa was wonderful!! She took lots of pictures and left very detailed notes. She was really quick to respond to any messages we left for her and our cats loved her!! She was very flexible and accommodating to the last-minute changes we had in our plans. She is definitely our go-to person!!
Taylor was fantastic—this was my first time using Rover and my request was fairly short notice, I was a bit apprehensive but in a bind. She made the entire experience seamless and put me at ease! She was responsive, communicative, and took the time to answer all my questions. She handled everything flawlessly, from administering medication to feeding everyone and keeping my fur babies entertained. I threw a lot of information at her and she nailed it! I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again.
Tennille provided excellent care for our Senior cat. She spent extra time with him and made sure he got some play time in. I also asked for plenty of photos and she sent us a ton! It was really reassuring to have a whole sequence of photos showing him get settled into his spot on the couch then falling asleep. You could tell he was happy! Thank you very much!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
