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’ve had experience taking care of dogs pretty much my whole life, so I’m really comfortable around all kinds of personalities and needs. I’ve also spent a lot of time staying overnight with dogs and watching them for different lengths of time, whether it’s just a day or longer trips. I’m used to handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m a teacher during the school year, so my weekdays are a bit more structured since I’m working from about 8–4. In the summer, I switch things up and work as a nanny three days a week. I’m still available on weekends year-round, and during the school year I can be available outside of my work hours on weekdays as well. I really strive to be a safe, calm place for dogs, no matter their personality or needs. I’m comfortable around all types—whether they’re super energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience. I’m also very good at following whatever routine or plan you already have set up for your pet, so they can stay comfortable and stick to what they’re used to while you’re away.

About: I grew up on a small ranch in Texas surrounded by all kinds of animals, from dogs & cats to horses & cattle. Over the past few years, my family has bred and raised several litters of golden retriever puppies. This gave me even more experience with raising & training dogs, and led to the adoption of my own dog Sam. I also have experience babysitting dogs for friends and family! I'm currently a stay-at-home wife, so I have a lot of flexibility during the week. Pet care is ideal as it allows me to work around my husbands work & class schedule, while caring for our own dog & home. I will offer consistent, kind care to your dog or cat! I love going on walks with my own dog, playing fetch, and offering lots of cuddles. I am happy to interact with your animal according to your personal comfort level, knowning that some dogs & cats may prefer more alone time than others. I will respect your animal's personal space & interact with them as a fun, dependable friend.

About: I have had a dog almost my whole life. I’ve also watched my family and friends pets while they have been away a lot through out the past 7 years! I know a lot about the different dog breeds as well, since I am considering owning a dog boarding place one day! As I am preparing for college I am very flexible. I don’t have a set schedule for any day, so I can make sure your pet is taken care of. I make each pet’s care fit their individual needs while keeping them comfortable and safe. I provide plenty of exercise through walks and playtime, but during the summer heat I schedule walks for the early morning or evening when it’s cooler. If it’s too hot outside, I focus on indoor activities and enrichment to keep pets active. I also make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a calm, caring environment throughout my visit or stay.

About: I have been around animals my whole life and always enjoy caring for them! I have owned a puppy so I am skilled in puppy needs, and I am ready for any challenges I may be faced with! I have also stayed overnight caring for my families pets many times and I really enjoy it! I will be working part-time as a life guard in the summer, so I will definitely have plenty of time to care for your pets! The only other activity I have going on is bringing kids to gymnastics on mondays, wednesdays, and thursdays at 8:30 am, and then camping with my families some weekends! At my house I have a fenced in yard, while at other homes I am very attentive to detail and instructions when caring. I always keep a careful eye to make sure of pet safety.

“Abigail was a fantastic cat sitter! She took care of my little lady just like I asked. She communicated very well and sent multiple photos of Loey everyday while I was gone. She even took in some packages I had delivered which I had asked her to do. Loey and Abigail were the best of friends while I was gone and I highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up around 3 small dogs and have 2 large dogs of my own. Depending what your dog likes to do (go for walks, get attention, play with their toys) I'll do it. They deserve all the attention while you're away! I administer meds for my lab daily. My son loves to come with to help but will stay home if your pet is nervous around kids. I can let your dog out before work, lunch, after work and before bed. Any other specific times, just ask! My job is flexible so you tell me the time(s) that work for you and I'll make it work. I can't spend the night on the overnight stays but will spend lots of time with them! If I am not comfortable or you're not comfortable after we meet, you are welcome to cancel. I request we meet before booking. I use Rover when I am away and have had a good experience but try to provide a great experience to my clients.

About: I’ve cared for friends and family members pets throughout the years, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I work full-time during the week, but I have plenty of availability for pet care! I’m available on weekdays after 5pm and have flexibility throughout the weekends. I’m happy to work around your schedule and make sure your pets get the attention and care they need. I live in a comfortable apartment with a nice grassy area nearby that’s perfect for taking dogs outside for walks and playtime. I live with my husband, and we don’t have any pets of our own yet, so we’re excited to give your pets plenty of love, attention, and care!

About: I have been a proud Golden Retriever owner for over five years and truly enjoy caring for dogs. I love taking my dog on walks, playing fetch and hide-and-seek, and teaching obedience commands with patience, consistency, and lots of love. I understand the importance of providing dogs with exercise, attention, structure, and affection, and I will care for your pet as if they were my own. Pet care is my side kick passion, I'm looking to do pet sitting full time over the weekends. As a responsible professional and dedicated pet owner, I understand the importance of reliability, trust, and providing attentive care. I am available primarily available on weekends, from Friday evening through Sunday evening, for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and companionship. I am also happy to care for your pet in the comfort of your own home if that is your preference. If you need assistance during the week, such as evening walks, feeding visits, or check-ins, I am willing to work with you to accommodate your pet's needs whenever possible. My goal is to provide safe, loving, and dependable care so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Although my property does not have a fenced yard, we have a large outdoor space where your furry friend can safely enjoy time outside under my close supervision. I prioritize safety and never leave pets unattended outdoors. Inside our home, pets are treated like family. We allow our own dog on the furniture, so your pet is welcome to relax and make themselves comfortable. They will have the freedom to roam the house in a safe, loving environment rather than being confined. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines. If your preference is for your pet to be crated at certain times, I am happy to follow your instructions and maintain the schedule they are accustomed to. My goal is to provide care that aligns with your preferences and helps your pet feel secure, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

About: We have always been dog lovers our whole life and was finally able to adopt one of our own three years ago. Mae is our sweet loving girl and we couldn’t imagine life without her. Dogs and animals hold a special place in our hearts! I am a teacher and my husband is a nurse. Over the weekends we find any way possible to hang out with Mae, take her for walks, to the dog park, and of course to get sweet treats. During the week we always find plenty of time for walks and lots of love and belly scratches on the couch! Mae and other dogs roam free in our house! We have a fenced in backyard to allow for lots of play time, and inside they are more than welcome on any bed or couch!

I’m so thankful she was able to take Buddy at the last minute! She even took the time to meet with us first thing in the morning before I left for my trip, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was absolutely wonderful with Buddy—taking him on walks, giving him his treats, making sure he got his medications, and giving him lots of love and attention. I especially loved getting all the sweet pictures while I was away. It was so reassuring to see Buddy happy and well cared for. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my Buddy! I truly appreciate you and would absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur baby. ❤️🐾

FAQs for Dog Sitting - West Fargo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in West Fargo on Rover is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 239 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across West Fargo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 West Fargo 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!

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 .

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.

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 Meet & Greet .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in West Fargo with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
