She has a deep understanding of dogs and is in tune with their needs. She sent updates and pics throughout the stay which was reassuring. Would recommend over and over.”

“This was our first sleepover(6 nights)with Elizabeth and longest we've left our 2. I was the irritating dog mom. But she was amazing(along with her patient husband and 2 felines).

Normally they are hyper and stressed from the kennel so we are extremely happy to have found her and her service. She's got us now!”

Cat caregivers near you - Fargo
“Maria was fantastic! Our 4 cats were happy and we'll taken my care of during our vacation. And Maria provided daily updates/pictures which was very appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!”
“Briea was fantastic!! She was so caring to our kitties and thorough with taking care of them!! I appreciated her update after each check in and love the pictures she provided! After her last visit she made sure our house was locked and secure. Definitely recommend her caring for your kitties!! Thank you, Briea!!”
“Elle gave us such peace of mind by providing feeding visits for our shy kitty, Layla. We had assured Elle that she would not see our kitty but she stayed around quietly and was finally able to lay eyes on her. We were so pleased with Elle’s care.”
“Isaac was so wonderful! Very attentive to the details and kept me updated during every visit. By the pictures, the cats seemed to love Isaac as well and were perfectly taken care of. I was able to leave town feeling confident my babies were taken care of so diligently. Thank you Isaac!!”
“Kathryn truly takes her job seriously and it shows. She paid special attention to my cats’ needs and went above and beyond to ensure they had ample play and snuggle time. I loved that she took photos on every visit and a little blurb about my cats’ demeanor and exploits. Highly recommend her services and will definitely be using her again on my next vacation!”
“Came home from a three week trip to two happy and healthy cats and an apartment exactly as I left it. Loved the daily pictures and updates. Will be rebooking for sure in the near future.”
“Tennille was awesome! Our three cats all have their own quirks about how/where to eat their soft food. Tennille gave them space or loves (depending on the cat) so they would be comfortable eating. She emptied the dehumidifier for us each day. She even volunteered to take our garbage down for pick-up since our neighbor was also out of town and couldn't do it. Tennille was fantastic with our cats! I will definitely check with her the next time we are out of town.”
“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.”
About: I used to work at the humane society back home before I moved for college, and now i'm taking care of 2 cats of my own. They're my everything, and I want to be able to give the same kind of care for other cats aswell! I also grew up taking care of cats.
“Zach and Alyssa are always the best! They have been dropping in to care for my senior cat, when needed, since I moved to Fargo in 2022. They are reliable, always send lovely photos and update, and take good care of my old man.”
About: I have lived with and cared for cats of all ages since I was a child. From a litter of kittens I had to raise, to some ornery seniors that fell in love with me. I love them all. I have always had a way with cats and have never met a cat that didn't like me. (take it from my grandma's cat who hated everyone except me). I also have experience in the veterinary field and can administer medications if needed.
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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Fargo
“So great! Very responsive and sent updates. My doggie wasn’t feeling great and it put me at ease knowing she was in good hands, while I was at work. 10/10 will book with Pamela again.”
“Awesome sitter! Was able to squeeze my girl in last minute on the Fourth of July so I could spend time with family instead of stressing over her barking (from separation anxiety) in the hotel. Erin is so sweet and invited us in right away to take a look at her house and the backyard. She made me feel very good about leaving my little angel in her care. When we went to pick her up Erin invited us in again and filled us in on everything they did together. Mocha was a very happy girl when we picked her up and I know they had fun together!”

“Mindy was absolutely amazing with our dog Brodie! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt confident that he was in great hands. She kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Brodie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Excellent care for our beloved family member! We can’t recommend Yuki highly enough. We plan on booking her warm and loving care for our older dog many times in the future.”
About: I have a lot of dog experience plus dogs myself. I’ve taken classes trained and also done boarding before. I also know how to do cpr and tend to special dogs I love spending time with my dogs. Your dogs will get the same amount of attention and loving as my dogs do. Nothing better than spending my free time with my dogs. I have a fenced in yard. I have 2 dogs that can and will keep them company. Super friendly dogs that will play all day if they could.
“Ana did a great job watching our pup while we were visiting from out of town. She was understanding and responsive to our dog who was upset and needy due travel and changing environments. We hope to be back soon!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I’ve trained my own dogs through three levels of obedience and raised five of them from the time they were 8 weeks old and took care of them through their elderly years including in pup wheel chairs. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to independent cats and senior pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work school hours during the week and have Thursdays at home, which gives me extra flexibility for pet care. I’m available for walks and drop-ins after 4 p.m. on weekdays, and for boarding or extended visits on weekends. Your pets will always get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I love spending time brushing and walking all of my furry friends. I don’t have a fenced yard at this time, but I spend lots of time outside with pets in our spacious back yard and make sure they’re always safely supervised. I’m comfortable using leashes, harnesses, and long leads to give dogs room to explore while keeping them secure. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, caring environment where every pet feels safe and loved.
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
“Bailey has always been so nice and very accommodating. Our dogs also get along great! She sends updates and pictures every time our dog is with her. She has walked him, boarded him and also done daycare for us. I would 100% recommend her for your doggy needs!”
About: I went to school to be a vet tech. I can administer any medications you may need. I specialize in the care of elderly pets and their unique needs. Animals are better than people. My schedule is open for weekdays or weekends, night or day. Your babies can come stay with me or I can stay with them (sometimes home is just less scary) Whether at my home or yours if there’s a yard we’ll be playing for hours, if there isn’t we’ll be taking some fun walks at the park. I always check the air temperature to decipher concrete temps because nobody wants hot paws! I also always carry water so we can all stay happy and hydrated.
“Mikasa was very accommodating and has great communication. She sent me pictures threw out the day and stayed in contact and was on time. I never worried about my puppy Raven for a second.... she also had her Yorkie for playmate. I will be using Mikala anytime I need a sitter for Raven. :)”
“My partner and I were driving across the country with our 50lb Samoyed, Jack, to relocate to our new home. On our trip, we decided to stop through Fargo where my family is from and take in NDSU football game — Go Bisons! We needed someone to watch Jack for the few hours we were at the game, and Taylor readily accepted our last minute (day before) request. Jack is a calm, friendly dog who seems to have been experiencing some anxiety on the long drive and is not consistently eating or pooping. We were a little nervous leaving him with new people in a new place when he was already on edge. However, Taylor and her family seemed to put him at ease immediately. Taylor kept us updated with pictures and milestones, and when we picked him up he had eaten all of his food, pooped, and played a bunch outside. He seemed happy, calm, and well cared for. If you have any dog sitting needs, we definitely recommend Taylor!”
“KayLee was great and took such great care of our Saige. Love that she took the time to do a meet and greet with her pups when we dropped off to let them get acquainted before I left. The detailed update when we picked her up was great as we very much appreciated knowing how Saige did and that her nightly routine went smoothly! She was so tuckered out she fell asleep on the short ride home. Thanks again!”

“Kathryn is absolutely wonderful with my two pups. She realized right away little Dukie does better with his “momma” on their walks so she takes both the pups together. Kathryn is extremely kind, trustworthy, and very good at communicating. It takes so much off my plate knowing I have a dependable dog walker/sitter for when my baby gets here, absolute Godsend!”
“This was my first ever experience with hiring someone to walk my precious fur baby. He was very professional and kind. My dog came back happy and tired, which is huge! Definitely will be booking again for services!”
“Always on time down to the minute. Medical training and previous veterinarian. I feel my puppy is in good hands, and never i have to worry about my puppy's safety. She's beyond just a person who walks my dog. Kish has built a relationship with my dog. My dog is always happy to know she's going on a walk with her. To my dog she's just another family member at this point. Would have anybody body else walk my dog at this point.”
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.
About: I have had a dog as long as I can remember. I have dog sat for multiple family friends with different breeds. I am good at taking dogs on walks, playing with them, feeding them, and more. I can adapt to different temperaments. I have also taken care of a 14 year old dog that had a very specific schedule and needed constant supervision to help keep away from potty accidents and very specific feeding instructions. I work full time but don't start until evening. I am able to sit with your pups more most of the day. I already love to sit around with my old lady dog. I can tell when she's in a mood to play so we play until she is done and ready to go take some more naps. I would love to play with your dogs as well! I will only watch your dogs in your own homes. I can follow any instructions you want. I can bring a ball with me but you will need to provide other toys if desired. I like to be in the same room so I can see them to make sure they aren't doing something they shouldn't be.
“Adam did an awesome job with our dogs! Scarlett doesn’t always have the best social skills with new people, but he handled her like a pro and she warmed up fast. Luka had a rough start not feeling the best, but Adam took it all in stride and kept both dogs safe and happy. This walk was a prep for upcoming house sitting, and it gave us a lot of confidence knowing he communicates well, goes above and beyond, and really cares. Highly recommend!”
About: I have helped friends and family care for their pets when they are gone. I even helped a neighbor friend when I was in middle school take care of his dogs when his family was out of town. I enjoy spending time with animals especially dogs. I get summers off from my full time job. I will have a part time job which is scheduled on my terms. Therefore I have availability in my schedule to have several "clients" and fulfill required tasks. I have a fenced yard. Also take my dog on several walks especially in the summer. He enjoys playing tug of war in the house with his toys. He also gets exercise running up to the front window to bark at cars going by. :)
About: I've grown up with vastly different dogs; my first was a grumpy senior cocker spaniel and my last was the sweetest, smartest Australian Shepard/blue heeler. I've also taken care of friends' and family's pets like my aunt's deaf pitbull and my cousin's St. Bernard. Needless to say, I have a wide range of pet experience. I'm currently an online graduate student, which means I have flexibility to work around yours and your pet's schedule. I'm available most days with available times from early morning to late evening. It's important for a pet to feel safe in their home. It's important to follow a pet's boundaries, I try to cater to their needs and their routine.
About: I have had pets my whole life, currently owning my own kitty and co-parenting my boyfriends Great Pyrenees. I am now a graduate of NDSU, I have a bachelors degree in veterinary technology. Which means I have thorough and professional experience caring for, medicating, walking, enriching, and housing animals. I am excited to meet you and your pet and care for them exactly how you would. I am currently between jobs so my only commitments outside of your pets are mine. I return to my own home for a few hours every day during a sitting to care for my own pets. I am committed to caring for your pet the same way that you would. I believe in following instructions to the best of my abilities in order to ensure your pet receives the care they deserve.
“Vanessa came over to walk 1 of my dogs (puppy!) during lunchtime. She also let my other 2 dogs outside so the 3 of them could play together. She brought the puppy on a 1-2 mile walk every day and tried to get his energy out. She was prompt and provided daily feedback with pictures. Will definitely book again!”
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: My daughter and I have found a passion for helping care for mainly smaller dogs, starting out with helping friends and coworkers watch their tiny dogs while they took vacations all year long 🙂 well word got around, and now I’ve been with Rover almost a year and we love it! It’s so exciting to meet new animals and learn new skills on how to help train or give specialized care. 🐕 Have experience with small-medium dogs, cats, hamsters, chickens, you name it! 🦔 not available for anything in my own home, but am glad to travel to do walks, drop ins or house sitting. Located in Fargo near the mall area. Know that we treat pets like family! We love to go to the dog park near our house, take them to the lakes, and be active outside whenever we can! I do Instacart as well, so prefer pups that can handle car 🚗 rides; but definitely not a necessity. Long term stay prices are negotiable! Excited to meet new families and work with new pets! ❤️ Flexible scheduling! Small-medium dogs only for overnight stays. Can pop in throughout the day multiple times during the week or day! Like to Instacart in my free time, happy to bring your pupper with! I am willing to do whatever works best for you! I do have 3 cats and live in an apartment, so I’m only willing to do care in your home. I’m willing to walk and stop in to take care of your bigger dog, depending on size and training, but will not do house sitting or overnights with them.
About: I’ve pet sat for friends and family over a period of time, and also have a dog of my own. I’m able to help out with any kind of care you need, and dogs typically warm up to me easily. I work very sparingly, so I have plenty of time and attention to give your fur babies! I’m around my dog all day every day, and I take her everywhere with me as much as I can. I have a very friendly and high energy border collie, so your dogs will always have a play mate. I’m willing to crate your dogs if need be, and any other cars you’re in need of.

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.
