“Michael was such a life saver and treated our puppy with quality care and love! We needed a pet sitter last minute, and on New Years Eve no less, and Michael delivered! His response rate was fast and efficient. He even offered a meet and greet so he could know our dogs needs beforehand. Michael provided updates on our puppy throughout the night and kept Luigi calm and relaxed on arguably one of the most nerve-wracking nights for pets due to fireworks. Cannot recommend Michael enough! Will definitely be booking with him again soon”
“If I could give Richard more than five stars, I would. Leaving our beloved Oliver and Stella for a week while we traveled to Colorado was much easier because of Richard. He was incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful, but what really stood out was his communication. He kept us updated on everything, from eating habits and supplements to potty breaks and sleeping arrangements. We never had to wonder how they were doing because Richard always let us know. He paid attention to details that mattered and genuinely cared about their safety. When the weather was extremely hot, he adjusted their routine accordingly and made sure they stayed comfortable rather than risking walks in unsafe temperatures. It was also clear that Oliver and Stella adored him. They cuddled with him, sat on his lap, and settled in beautifully. Those little updates meant the world to us and showed just how much love and attention they were receiving. Richard is exactly the kind of person you hope to find when trusting someone with your pets: caring, responsible, attentive, and genuinely invested in their happiness. We would absolutely book with him again and honestly hope he becomes our permanent sitter whenever we're away. Oliver and Stella give him two paws way up!”
“Miles took amazing care of our dog Baxter. He was very communicative and we felt so comfortable knowing Baxter and our home were in his care while we were away. We could not be happier with the house sitting services he provided. Would definitely recommend!”
“Kristen did a wonderful job taking care of my two standards poodles and housesitting. She arrived on time and communicated daily with pictures and notes. The house was in good order when I got home. I highly recommend her!”
“C was the BEST! He came for a meet and greet and we immediately felt comfortable that our pets would be in good hands. He was extremely communicative beforehand and then each day he sent photos and updates, but did not spam us while we were on vacation. He was also extremely detail oriented- when the written instructions I left different from what was noted on a medication bottle, he checked before following one or the other. He was also extremely clean and tidy- he left the house in better shape than he found it and even remade the bed with fresh sheets so it would be one less thing when we got back!”

“Lilly was so great to our boys. She took excellent care of them, she stuck to our instructions and asked questions when they came up, and she kept me posted while we were away. She was quick to respond to messages from me, and she gave me a full status on everything before she left the house for the last time. Will 100% use her again and I highly recommend her to others. Thanks Lilly!”
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience, I bring not just a love for dogs, but a deep understanding of their needs at every stage of life. I’ve cared for energetic puppies who need play, structure, and basic training, as well as senior dogs who require patience, medication, and gentle handling. I’m calm, responsible, and detail-oriented, always making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I also pay close attention to each pup’s unique personality and routine, so your dog feels right at home—even when you’re away. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I structure my day to prioritize walks, feeding times, play sessions, and any special care each dog might need. Whether I’m doing drop-in visits or overnight stays, I make sure every pet gets consistent attention, love, and activity throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to be fully present and responsive to each dog’s needs, making sure they stay happy, healthy, and well-cared for at all times. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always treat their space with respect and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, medications, or favorite toys and routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, play, and love while keeping their space clean and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away, knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Alina was absolutely amazing with our dog, Nala! Nala is an anxious dog, so it was very important to us that she wasn't left alone. Alina spent all of her time with Nala and didn't leave her alone during the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. She also took Nala on lots of walks, and it was obvious how happy and well cared for she was. We received so many beautiful photos and regular updates, so we always knew exactly how Nala was doing When we came home, the house was absolutely spotless. Honestly, it looked like no one had even stayed there. Everything was perfect. Alina, thank you so much! 💛Everything was absolutely perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would trust you with Nala again in a heartbeat”
About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, haven’t yet met an animal that didn’t like me. I have experience with difficult dogs, nervous and overly excitable fur missiles. I’m willing to work with them as long as I feel safe to do so but im not a trainer, I don’t know how to make them unlearn bad behaviors and learn good ones. Right now I don’t have a regular full time job, I have been searching and applying but no offers as of yet. I have no kids or pets of my own so I’m available at nearly any time, from drop-in visits to overnight sitting. I understand letting a stranger into your home is unsettling, I don’t take it for granted and I’ll do my best to respect your home and pets. I don’t currently have my own home, I live with others so I’m unable to board pets. It tends to be less stress anyways for the pet to stay home where they are in a familiar environment. Unless they have a rigid routine involving sleeping in your bed with you, and won’t go to bed otherwise, I tend to stay on the couch.
“Katie is awesome with our rottie, Ziek. She puts our mind at ease knowing he’s in her care. She is extremely flexible with her schedule and responds very quick. I’d highly recommended her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”
“We had a great experience with Madison. She took Luna on 2 nice long walks a day and respected our home. The house was very tidy when we returned from our trip. It was very nice to return to our home after a week away and feel like it was just the way we left it. Madison sent photos and gave me updates on Luna. We will use her again in the future. She is a super sweet young lady.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Red River is $50

Kayla was absolutely amazing with Ninja! She always made sure he received the best care and regularly sent me updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Ninja felt comfortable, safe, and loved with her. She is truly the best, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dependable pet sitter!
Grace was amazing! Our chiweenie Emily hurt her leg while we were away and Grace kept us up to date on how she was doing and she did everything she could to make Emily comfortable. The house looked great, the plants were well taken care of and the mail was picked up. I would definitely recommend Grace and will certainly use her again. Emily is doing fine!

Absolutely fantastic. Needed an emergency last minute sit and Alexis was so accommodating. Alexis took amazing care of my 3 difficult puppers, providing great communication the whole time and even making sure some of my dogs idiosyncrasies were normal (they were but so wonderful to have that level of detail in their care).

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 Red River 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 Red River 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 Red River 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.

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.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
