About: A lifelong dog person, I've hosted friends' dogs, from puppies to seniors, in my home for over 20 years. My husband, our dogs, and I love to spoil dogs when their family is away, knowing that the love and care we pour into dogs make their humans feel less anxious to leave town without them. Your pup can expect lots of walks, access to a doggy door, and a fenced-in backyard that is free from weed killers and other fertilizers. I have petsitting coverage through Pet Sitters Association. Having a part-time job means that I have plenty of time to provide your pet attention and affection. We'll get lots of quality time together! Walking dogs is an important part of my fitness routine, so your best friend will get lots of enrichment while you're away. Because we are such avid dog lovers, my husband and I set aside an entire room in our house for dogs to hang out when they need a safe place to hang out when we're away from home. This room has access to a doggy door, a fenced-in backyard with a locked gate, and grass that is free from fertilizer and weedkiller. Outside of this room, your dog will be free to hang out in our living room, snuggle up in a cozy dog bed in the office, or find some quiet in the kitchen or entryway. I honor your pet's sleeping preferences by allowing access to our bedroom if that is what they need to feel secure. Your dog will be loved and accepted, canine quirks and all!


“We met James for the first time and scheduled a 4 hour time to see how Bailey does at his house before booking an overnight with him. I am a very overprotective dog mom and I've never given a rating of 5 stars before but James deserves 5 stars. He did everything right to make me feel comfortable leaving Bailey with him. Although he was just there a few hours, he sent me some pictures and a video of Bailey playing with his dog and I so appreciate that. I always ask for pictures when leaving Bailey with someone but often times don't get any and I didn't even ask James for pictures! Bailey seemed to have a wonderful time there and I can always tell when he's had fun because he came home and slept for hours afterward. James is incredibly professional and if you need a good dog sitter, please try him out. I will for sure be using him again in the future.”


“Kelsi was amazing! She sent us regular updates which we appreciated. We were a little worried about one of our dogs warming up to her, but Lacey warmed right up to Kelsi which says alot! We would highly recommend her to those looking for pet care services.”


“This was my first time using Rover and I had the best experience. Gretchen and Eric were so great with Piper. She is an older anxious dog and they gave her tons of love and attention. I loved getting the updates and pictures. I will definitely have Piper stay with them again! Thank you so much for caring for my dog!”



“This was Sjobis second stay with Elizabeth and it was great. She worked so well with us on flexibility for times and she takes her on walks and sends photo updates! Definitely recommend having your pet stay with Elizabeth!”


“Yuki is absolutely amazing with pups! Her love for dogs radiates off of her the second you meet her (and her family). She would always do everything she could to make Oakley feel at home. I would never consider using a different doggie daycare after using Yuki.”

“Jennifer and her family took care of my timid and anxious 8 year old sheltie and my very hyper golden puppy! Jennifer is such a stellar person. She loved and looked after my boys like they were her own pets. She was patient with my older pup and earned his trust.. He never lets anyone close to him, and he let jennifer and her family close! I am so incredibly grateful to have found her on Rover. Hands down i will use her again and i recommend her 10/10 to anyone looking to board their precious pups!”


“Selah was great with our dog. He went for his walks, got his cuddle time and enjoyed playing with her pup. She is genuinely an animal lover and gets what they need. Our dog typically eats less when he is boarded, but he felt right at home with Selah and ate well. Selah also offers exit services like bathing and nail trims. I world definitely recommend Selah for your pup!”


About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life. I’ve grown up with shih-tzus, but I love all animals, big or small! I currently have 2 pups that are the loves of my life: Sophie is our shy but feisty bichon shih-tzu and Wells is our newly adopted pup who is just the sweetest boy. While I cannot do overnight house sitting due to having 2 dogs of my own, I would love nothing more than to stop by to take your pet for walks or have them stay overnight in our home, providing you with peace of mind knowing your animal is in good hands! I work full time as a nurse Monday through Friday, but I would be available most evenings after 6pm. I am also available some weekends! I currently live in a house with a fenced yard. I provide my dogs with 1-2 walks per day and would love to do the same for your pets!

“She was so wonderful! Lots of updates, pictures and great communication. She was also super flexible and patient when dealing with our 7 month old puppy and her set up is perfect. She has a walk out and was there 24/7. Highly recommend!”


“Rachel was fantastic! Rachel watched my pups for the first time over the holidays and they came back happy and tired. She was great in sending photos/updates throughout the day, listening to the instructions I left her with administering my husky’s oral medication, and overall it seemed like my pups had a great time. Thank you for giving my pups your love and attention. I would definitely recommend Rachel and rebook if we’re back in the Fargo area!”


“Matt really helped us out by watching Navi for a few days when we had to leave town with pretty short notice. Being new to town, we were really in a bind! Matt really tuned in to our special dog and helped alleviate our concerns. After just a couple of days, Navi and Gunner were quite comfortable with each other. (It may have even been sooner!) We will definitely use Matt to watch our dog again whenever we leave town. Highly recommended!!”


“My pups loved the stay ! I was nervous that they were going to have an issue with the cats but nope! They were fine . She sent pictures so I had the reassurance . Will definitely rebook .”


“Kelsey was, by far, the best dog sitter we have ever had. She sent SO many photos and updates of our pup, which is something we never expected but it was so appreciated! Our pup became best friends with hers and we really hope to have Kelsey watch her again 🥰”
