“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.”
“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!”
“Kimmie was wonderful!!! A big storm came through on one of the nights Kimmie was watching our dogs and when the storm sirens went off in the middle of the night Kimmie made sure the dogs were safe in our (unfinished) basement. She went above and beyond to stay with them to keep them calm, so that was a big plus! She did a great job communicating with us when we were away and our dogs seemed to thrive with her. That’s even more notable considering our younger dog lost his sight a few weeks prior to the dates we used her, and she navigated that unexpected concern beautifully!”
“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!”
“Adam did an incredible job with our two girls! It was our first time ever leaving them home with someone other than family and we were very anxious about how they would do. He came over twice beforehand for brief meetings with the dogs to ensure they would warm up to him and it was very clear they liked him instantly. While we were away, he was so good about sending updates throughout the day and lots of photos. It really put my mind at ease so I could relax and enjoy our vacay knowing our dogs were being well taken care of and loved while we were away for the week! He also left our house very clean and tidy! We will definitely book Adam again for another home stay with our dogs! Thank you so much, Adam! ??”
“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!”
“Ana was AMAZING!! So quick to respond and was amazing with our dogs! Being flexible with our fussy babies. Can’t wait to reach out to her next time we need someone to watch our dogs.”
“First time using overnight care for my pups and couldn’t have gone better. She was very kind and very responsive to messages and questions! Very great experience and will be keeping her at the top of my list!”
“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: I have always been an animal person which showed from childhood until now! I was raised loving animals and would even save birds or mice my cats brought home. I now live in Fargo attending NDSU, living with one roommate and my new kitten! Growing up I was responsible for not only helping with my own dogs and when they had puppies, but neighbors’ and friends’ dogs as well. I have watched all shapes and sizes of dogs and never met a dog I have disliked. I also go on walks often and always make sure dogs under my care receive enough exercise. Besides dogs I love cats as well! I have had cats since I was born and have always formed strong connections with them. I also watched multiple neighbors cats growing up. In Fargo I have watched my sister’s cats and am trusted by her friends to check on their cats. I have also opened my apartment to my parents’ and sister’s dogs whenever needed to help out. I have taken care of all ages of pets from new born puppies to my dog on her last days. Besides watching pets I have volunteered at Homeward Animal Shelter and socialized cats there. This has taught me to stay patient and never push a pet past what they are comfortable with. I would love to meet any loved pet and treat them as if they were my own! I will be attending hair school in the fall, and I will be busy from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday. After school for the day, I will be working part-time while completing my degree at NDSU part-time. Even though my schedule seems busy, I will always make time for your furry friends! I do have a kitten at my apartment, so any pet staying at my home would have to be cat-friendly. That being said, if your dog does not love cats, I could still watch them and make quick stops at my apartment! As for a client's home, I can fit any schedule or habits a pet might have. My goal is to create a safe space for your pet in whatever way they respond best!
“Brigit was so great for our high anxiety Doodle Duke! :-) She was calm and reassuring for him to get to know her and he relaxed and was able to play. This was such a relief for us while we were away! Thanks”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life growing up. I have had my fur baby for 8 years now, she was a rescue dog. And I have loved every minute, watching her, grow into the loving pet that I knew that she could be, if given the chance ❤️ She came with some pretty heavy health issues, from UTIs to a torn ACL, both legs… I know how to take care of dogs that need that extra love and support. Let me help you by giving your pet, that extra love and support ❤️ I am currently a daycare teacher. I have been a teacher for five years now I make sure to take breaks throughout the day to take care of my dog But make sure to also take care of the kiddos within my center I have a BARK box subscription, that comes with multiple engaging toy activities for my dog. As well as lick mats and challenging, treat puzzles to keep their mind sharp.
About: Growing up, I've always had pets, and my affection for them has only grown stronger as I've gotten older. I'm fascinated by creatures of all kinds and enjoy learning about them. My pet-care experience stems from having my own pets as well as caring for family, friends, and volunteers over the years. I’m excited to get to know you and your pet and provide that unconditional safety and love. Ideally weekends work best but weekdays in the morning are just fine as well. I have a mixed schedule so contact me for any questions. I can always assure my clients that i will take the finest possible care of their dog or cat. I do recognize that leaving a pet at home can be stressful but I make note of all relevant information, such as emergency contacts, veterinarian details, food recommendations, medication information, alarm codes, etc. Never forgetting to lock the doors, and never leave the building without a key. You can be sure that your pet is in good hands.
About: I have had cats or dogs my whole life. Have loved animals as long as I can remember. I like animals more then most people. I have had 2 dogs in my life and both have passed away so I'm ready to love on other dogs without the responsibility of ownership I currently work full time but am free most weekends. I'm willing to feed, water and scoop litter. Can let dogs out before and after work some days. Animals seem to like me and I love to give pets and cuddles. I am experienced in health care so could give meds if needed

FAQs for House Sitting - Pinkham
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 118 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pinkham. 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 Pinkham 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 Pinkham 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 Pinkham 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 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.
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.
