Personalized care for your dog or cat - Walcott
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Walcott
“Lyudmila is amazing! She welcomed our teddy boy last minute and treated him like family. We loved the updates and pics—turns out our chunky guy is a big fan of hot dogs! It’s such a relief knowing he’s so well cared for. He’ll definitely be back next time we travel!”
“Kimberly and Tim are wonderful people and pet owners/sitters. They're the only sitters who have ever asked us to come do a meet and greet, first, so our girls were comfortable with them and where they would be staying. The sent pictures, communicated really well (and promptly), taught us ways to walk our younger dog so she doesn't pull. I even miscalculated when we would be back from our camping weekend and they were super understanding and agreed to add an extra night for us. We have them booked for all our upcoming trips through the end of the year!”
“Allison was beyond amazing! I could feel her kindness from the start. She was so good with our dog. This was our first time leaving him since he was very young and he had so much fun! 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.”
“Pamela was so sweet to our dog. He’s partially blind and takes medication, both of which she was able to navigate. Would definitely recommend, especially for senior dog care!”
“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!”
“Katrina did an excellent job of caring for Knox. He appeared to feel very comfortable and found a friend among the pups that were there. He had good social interaction and was a tired pup when we got home.”
“Yuki is a fantastic sitter! Wonderful communication, very kind, and I loved the frequent pictures so I could see what a wonderful time Ena was having! Will absolutely request her again!”
“Elizabeth was awesome. She is very down to earth, is knowledgeable with dogs, and she communicated very well. We would book with her again when the time comes and she is available!”
“Taylor's care was simply fantastic. Her own dogs are so gentle and welcoming; you can see that Taylor and her husband are dog lovers. My dog craves exercise, so I was a little hesitant about how she would adjust to staying in an apartment, but I should never have worried! Taylor made sure she had lots of safe, outside, running time at the park! She sent us pictures and updates, and although Sydney was glad to see me, she was also stress-free and obviously well cared for. I recommend Taylor 100%.”
“Renae was FANTASTIC!! Lucy had a blast and was sad to leave. We will definitely be rebooking!! Renae was very communicative and great with our high energy pup. The backyard and dog door were super nice!”
“Acacia really came through and helped me out! She took on a very sudden reservation from me and made sure my dog was very well taken care of. My puppy Kirby loves being there and I would gladly book her again! :)”
“We LOVE Sabrina and her family! Our pups get so excited to go and hang out with them! I stress soooo much less being away from our fur babies when they stay with this awesome family! We will continue to have our pups stay with Sabrina as long as she allows us to!!!!!❤️”
“If I could have read Francesco’s mind as we were cruising down the interstate, I believe he was reminiscing on what a great time he had. KayLee was awesome and very easy to work with on a short notice. We will definitely rebook with her when the need arises.”
“Ella is fantastic! I needed care for our three dogs on relatively last minute over Christmas break. She responded quickly to all communication. She was very welcoming and gave updates during our girl’s stay. I knew our girls were in great hands. I would recommend Ella to care for your fur baby. I will gladly bring our girls back when we need care in the future.”
“Both Annika and Nathan were great with our cat, Jeffrey. From the moment I dropped him off I knew he’d be safe with them and cared for. They were very communicative and responsive, sending multiple photos during his stay in their home. You can tell they truly care about the animals they care for. We highly recommend Annika and Nathan for any of your pet care needs.”

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! I currently work as a nurse at a clinic Monday through Thursday so I am available all day, Friday through Sunday only. I could also do Thursday evening if needed! I will help with whatever your pet's routine is! My goal is to make them feel comfortable and safe while you are away. I love to play with animals or do anything that makes them feel loved!
About: I have grown up with cats all my life, as my grandparents lived on a farm and had many indoor and outdoor cats. I am employed with an agency in the F/M area and have done many cat visits that have involved cleaning litter, feeding, giving medication, playing, and of course giving lots of pets and love.
“Abigail and my little Loey have a special relationship that I can see from the wonderful photos Abigail sends me. I can tell Lo is a happy kitty when Abigail is with her! It makes me happy to know that Lo is being taken care of with love while I’m gone. She’s the best!”
About: I've been around cats my whole life and I'm very comfortable with them and respect their space. I have two of my own, currently, and I don't mind administering medication or doing special routines to keep the cat comfortable and happy!
About: I have taken care of a whole bunch of cats over the years and be honest with you. They are their own creature. I love how the attitude always comes out even when you don’t expect it. My experience of taking care of cats is fun, energetic, and they can use a whole bunch of love. I know how to administer medication in keeping those litter boxes, clean and healthy is what’s more important to a cat and to a human. I don’t have a cat, but it’s the experience is what I cherish the most.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Walcott
“Yuki was great. She listened to want I had to say and she took copious notes when we met go a meet up. The following day I drop Cadence off for a day care and when I picked her up I could tell she was not stressed like she had been at other facilities. My wife loved the pictures Yuki provided and said Cadence was smiling in all her pictures with her new friends. We plan on boarding Cadence in a few days. I highly recommend Yuki!”
“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!”
“This was our 1st Rover booking. Kim is a wonderful sitter. The dogs took to her immediately & were in great moods when we picked them up. We are on vacation & just needed a place for the afternoon while we went to a museum. She sent us 2 photos showing our girls were hanging out & relaxing. This was the perfect solution! We highly recommend Kim!”
“We had a great experience. Ty was friendly, responsive and flexible when our times needed adjusting. The fenced yard is great and the dogs loved exploring all of the dog toys. Happy dogs. Happy dog parents. We’ll definitely use Ty again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I’ve trained dogs through three levels of obedience and raised five of them myself 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 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.
“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!”
“We have left our pup, Clutch, with Pamela many times and he absolutely loves it. She keeps me updated with pictures and I can tell he’s so happy. I also appreciate her flexibility taking Clutch on last minute, when possible. We’re so happy we found Pamela and I recommend her 100%.”
“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!”
“Rachel and her family have been a life saver for us. We have a lovely little pup that adores kids and other puppies...and Rachel has just that. Eva loves to go to Rachel's. A sleepy pup is a wonderful pup❤️”
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.
About: I previously worked part time at a dog daycare as a dog handler. As a dog handler I’ve gained experience with all types of dogs and puppies such as treatments, feedings, and bathing. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter where I got to spend time caring and loving for dogs and even cats. Many of my duties contained walking, cuddling & playing! I have two dogs of my own that I care for full-time named Bucky and Shadow— they love making new fur friends but don't have to tag along on visits. I really love what I do and would love to expand my experience by helping others (hopefully you!) with their furry companions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out as I would love to meet you and your pet. Hope to talk soon! I’m currently enrolled in school, but I still have lots of time to play with your pups! My weekdays are usually pretty flexible and my weekends can be as well. I prefer caring for pets in the clients home as I live in an apartment, but that’s not saying I haven’t cared for a dog with me! It’s no problem as long as the client agrees and I have an allotted time to make the temporary arrangements. I am good with directions and punctuality so rest assured your pet would be in great hands!
“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!”

About: Your Dog’s Home Away From Home 🐾 Dogs have been part of my life for more than 31 years, and I’ve always had a soft spot for Yorkies. I’ve also had a German Shepherd and Border Collies, so I’m comfortable with everything from tiny personalities to high-energy working breeds. In addition to my pre-teen and teenager, my current pack keeps me on my toes: 🐶 13-year-old Yorkshire Terrier 🐶 10-year-old Australian Shepherd 🐶 1.5-year-old Golden Retriever I’m very comfortable managing different ages, energy levels, exercise needs, personalities, and the occasional doggy quirk. I work primarily from home, so your pup won’t be sitting alone all day. I’m around for potty breaks, playtime, walks, supervision, and plenty of company. My backyard is fully fenced, giving dogs a safe place to stretch their legs and enjoy some off-leash time. Most importantly, I know how much trust goes into leaving your dog with someone else. I’ll treat your pup like a member of the family while they’re here. ❤️🐾 And yes, I’m happy to care for cats, too! I grew up with a cat for 10 years and am comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and keeping your kitty company. I’m happy to stop by for visits and make sure they’re cared for and getting some attention. I am a realtor and primarily work from home. I have plenty of flexibility to let dogs out during the day. When my kids get home from school, the dogs get extra love! The dogs love to play in the backyard. After plenty of playtime and dinner, we like to relax and cuddle with the dogs on the couch while watching TV to wind down before bed. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I feed dogs in the morning and at night. I let them out multiple times a day - the Golden loves to play and the Yorkie has a small bladder. I have a large crate if ever necessary.
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-large dogs (as long as they aren’t aggressive), cats, hamsters, chickens, you name it! 🦔 can do doggy daycare but but am glad to travel to do . 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! 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 for a doggy daycare day we would mainly be out of the house staying busy. I’m willing to walk and stop in to take care of your bigger dog, depending on size and training!

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.
