About: I've looked after dogs and cats for around 15 years, very comfortable with both. Getting to know a pet and learning their personality and preferences is important to me, I want us both to have a good time! I'm currently work part-time and I'm a student, taking most of my classes online so I can be flexible! Mondays and Wednesdays I'm pretty busy in the morning, but I'm usually free by 2-3pm. I have two cats that are very well-socialized with other cats and small to medium sized dogs. Sometimes I put up a gate and allow the cats to sun themselves on the deck, which they love! In other people's homes, I make sure to tread lightly and let the pets take the lead on getting comfortable with me being in their space.
About: I enjoy walking and being outside! I am currently a NICU nurse and only work 3 days a week so I like to find ways to be outside in my free time! I have experience with all sorts of breeds, ages and sizes. We just recently raised and sold a litter last fall! My dog went back home to be on the farm where she has more freedom! I am missing having a dog for sure! I enjoy using pets as a ways to get outside and exercise! I enjoy the happiness each dog brings me, and look forward to experiencing more! I am very good at following directions and pay attention to detail very carefully! I am very observant to each dogs needs and flexible to what they need!
About: I have helped in nearly every type of animal from avian to pets to livestock and more. I have in depth knowledge of behavior and training, nutrition, and even health and reproduction. I know how important animals are to their owners and do not take watching them lightly. It is a responsibility I love since I have an overwhelming passion for all living things🥰 I only have 2 in person classes a week and go to the gym. Everything else I usually do from home. My availability is near ideal for people who care about the level of attention their pets want/need😊 I have 2 friendly cats and have a large field outside my building. I have a large bed to share and room for kennels too. I live within walking distance of the river and nice trails so I can keep them active.
About: Able to give your dog long walks and play time. I’ve had a dog since I was born and have experience in both taking care of cats and dogs. I’m currently in school but have other family members at home willing to help take care of your pet. Will have regular eating times and lots of potty breaks. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I do have a neighborhood where we are able to go on long walks. Along with a big house for play time.
About: With a lifelong love of animals and several years of dog sitting experience, I provide reliable, loving care tailored to your pup's unique personality. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or prefers calm cuddles and quiet walks, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I offer: Daily walks and exercise Feeding and medication (if needed) Playtime and enrichment Regular photo/video updates Overnight stays or drop-in visits I treat every dog like my own and take pride in earning the trust of both pets and their people. I’m also comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to get to know you and your furry friend! 🐶 I have the summers off and will be starting work again the begging of August. I’m home majority of the time! I update my schedule once a week I live in an apartment I don’t have a fence in yard but there is a big area where your dogs can play at. I enjoy being outside!
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!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in West Fargo is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. On Rover, 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.

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 .
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 , 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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
