“Jennifer was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Rocky! She was always on time, professional, and kept in great communication with us throughout each visit. We loved receiving regular updates, complete with videos and pictures of their walks and training sessions. She took extra time to work on things Rocky needed help with, like improving his leash manners during their long walks. At first, Rocky was nervous and barked a lot after our meet-and-greet, but Jennifer had such a calm and patient way with him that he quickly warmed up and felt comfortable. We could really see the progress and care she put into every visit. Jennifer went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
About: Hi! I have experience caring for all kinds of animals, including administering meds and injections. We have two young cats and a small senior dog that get along with everyone. Plenty of space here for your pets to make friends or keep to themselves. Large fenced yard to explore! I'm available days or evenings to check on your animals. Or bring them here for a few hours or days, nights, or weekends for a pet vacation! I have a large fenced yard and plenty of indoor space for your pets to explore or simply lounge around. I'm also happy to come to you!
About: I have had a dog almost my whole life. I’ve also watched my family and friends pets while they have been away a lot through out the past 7 years! I know a lot about the different dog breeds as well, since I am considering owning a dog boarding place one day! As I am preparing for college I am very flexible. I don’t have a set schedule for any day, so I can make sure your pet is taken care of. I make each pet’s care fit their individual needs while keeping them comfortable and safe. I provide plenty of exercise through walks and playtime, but during the summer heat I schedule walks for the early morning or evening when it’s cooler. If it’s too hot outside, I focus on indoor activities and enrichment to keep pets active. I also make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a calm, caring environment throughout my visit or stay.
About: I have worked in the animal industry for a good bit while at an animal shelter and a doggy daycare as well. I have had animals my entire life and currently have 2 dogs of my own! I have experience training and medicating animals. I also have experience with reactive/anxious dogs. I do have a job I will be leaving soon as I am moving in 2 months so I can rearrange my schedule quite a bit to let any pups out or pop in and check on anyone’s babies. I am willing to clear time to make your baby a priority! I have a pretty lenient schedule so if your pet wants to spend some time cuddling or playing in the yard it’s no problem I will clear time for them! If your pup loves to go hiking or on long walks I have no problem enjoying nature with them!
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: I have had dogs my whole life and I am very comfortable around them! I love to go on walks and play with pups as much as I can! I work from home during the week and leave for meetings or errands occasionally but will be home to keep your pet company! Home most summer weekends and I love to be outside and go on lots of walks. I live in a pet friendly apartment and have a balcony that allows for sunbathing and relaxing! I also have a friendly dog of my own who is a little shy at first but loves to play.
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
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.
“Mackenzie was absolutely wonderful. We went on a wel long trip and two days prior we had a meet and greet and the kitties immediately fell in love with her. We got daily photos of the cats and status updates. Although our cats are petty low maintenance, they enjoy the love from the people they allow to live with them. it was so great to know they were in such good hands while we were away. Couldn’t be more pleased.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for dogs, cats, parrots and other birds, reptiles, farm animals, and a variety of other species. I’ve worked in the veterinary field since 2013 and have been a licensed veterinary technician for the past 5 years. My medical background allows me to recognize signs of illness or distress, provide attentive care, and feel comfortable caring for pets with medical or special needs. I also spent 3 years working as a zookeeper, which gave me even more experience with exotic animals and strengthened my love for working with all kinds of species—not just dogs and cats! Whether your pet needs someone to keep them company, follow a specific routine, provide extra attention, or simply make sure they’re safe and comfortable while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and compassion I would give my own. Animals have been the center of my career and my life for many years. If there’s a way I can help an animal—or give their owner some peace of mind—I’m happy to be there. 🐾 I currently work from home doing pet insurance so I make up my own schedule Monday through Friday. I do also take care of my disabled mother so there are some circumstances where I will have to deny a booking if I feel it won't work out for our situation. I also work with a veterinary dermatologist once or twice a month and I cannot do any boardings those days, but I can still do drop-in visits. **Dogs boarding must be good with cats** I treat every pet as an individual and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether they need walks, playtime, cuddles, medications, or just some extra patience, I adjust to what makes them most comfortable. With my veterinary and zookeeper experience, I’m also comfortable with medical needs and a wide variety of animals. 🐾 ** I do require your pet have prior experience with cats, especially if they are med-xl dogs **
“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: Hello! I have always had a love for animals especially dogs and cats. I had my own dog, Charlie, who had complex health issues and unfortunately is no longer with me. He made me comfortable with giving medications, insulin/allergy shots, and following instructions with dietary restrictions that I can also provide your pets with when needed. I currently work full time M-F, but my schedule is flexible during the week and most weekends. I have also been employed for over a year with a company in the F/M area providing pet care services in people's homes. I LOVE what I do and always looking for more opportunities to meet new furry friends. My schedule is flexible and I respond quickly to text/phone calls or email when reaching out looking for pet care. I'm able to do morning shifts before I head to my full time job M-F, lunch breaks, and after work. I can often move my schedule around if you need other times throughout the day too. Just ask! Weekends are more open when I am not out of town. I prefer going to the pets home to provide care where they are in a familiar environment. I can provide walks, bring your pet outside to play, clean litter boxes, feed and fill their water, administer medication etc. Boarding in my home can also be provided, as I have a pet and smoke free home and can work with your pets needs to make them feel safe and at home.
About: I've looked after dogs and cats for around 15 years, very comfortable with both. Getting to know a pet and learning their personality and preferences is important to me, I want us both to have a good time! I'm currently work part-time and I'm a student, taking most of my classes online so I can be flexible! Mondays and Wednesdays I'm pretty busy in the morning, but I'm usually free by 2-3pm. I have two cats that are very well-socialized with other cats and small to medium sized dogs. Sometimes I put up a gate and allow the cats to sun themselves on the deck, which they love! In other people's homes, I make sure to tread lightly and let the pets take the lead on getting comfortable with me being in their space.
“Kimmie is great! I was so anxious about how this would all work out but it’s has made my life so much less stressful knowing my dogs are with someone who is kind and considerate. Love having Kimmie involved in our routine and appreciate her more than she knows!”
About: I have dog of my own I know how hard it is to find one last min… I have special training that if a dog has anxiety, I am able to work with it and do what I need to do to make your dog happy but also make the parent happy to but just being there is what’s more important to the dog……. ……………. ……… ……….. ……… ……… …….. …… …… I am currently working part-time at a dollar store here in town. On my spare time, I like watching the neighbors dogs in our neighborhood but also getting to know new families and meeting new people and meeting new friends and pets. In my home, I have a dog that has anxiety so I know what it’s like to have a dog and go out of town and not know how your dog is doing or is that dog even well trust me my services will help the community. My goal is at the end of this year, not just help other families, but also raise money for the animal shelters here in Fargo… ……………………………………………….. …. ……… ……… ……. ……. ……. ….. ……. …….. ……. … ………………… …
About: I grew up with cats and neighborhood dogs, and animals were always a part of my family. Now I have two dogs of my own: a 9-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer/Lab and a 1-year-old Basset Hound. I have experience with all ages, from puppies to grown-ups. I love dogs, but I'm also happy to do drop-ins for cats. I’m currently working part time where I schedule my own hours so I can be available whenever you need! Come fall, I will be back in my teaching position so my hours will be limited to evenings! When I care for your pets in your home, you can count on me to be reliable and accountable every single time. I'll make sure to be super attentive to your pet's needs and always follow their routines, as well as any specific procedures or rules you have in place. Your pet's comfort and your peace of mind are my top priorities.
About: I love animals of all types! I have 2 cats (ages 2 and 11) and a dog (age 13). I previously had a diabetic kitty who has crossed the rainbow bridge. I know how to give meds and can do anything you need! I would love the opportunity to care for your animals!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
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.
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.
