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’ve known animals for as long as I’ve known to breathe. From the time I could walk, I was playing and interacting with my family pets. From loving on our family black labs and cats growing up, volunteering at my hometowns local shelter, to tending to family and friends’ cats and dogs, animals have always been a passion of mine! I am available before 7:15 am, and after 3:30 pm. My work does not provide flexible scheduling so I do not have an extended lunch hour. I would only be able to check in on your fur baby twice a day. Weekends I am free all day, and could check in 3 times if needed I will care for animals in your home by being gentle, patient, engaging, nurturing , and playful. I will make sure they get lots of play and stimulation, love, and treats. 😋

“First time leaving my puppy, Ollie, with a sitter. Adam was the perfect sitter for my little, timid pup. He knew how to make Ollie comfortable with him, was knowledgeable of dog training techniques, responsive to any questions I had, and left pics and comments. Ollie was well taken care of and my vacation was worry free.”

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.

About: I have always been an animal lover! I grew up around dogs, cats, and cattle/farm life animals. Every animal that I encounter, I love it like it’s my own! I currently have a very flexible schedule. I am looking for a new opportunity to be around animals this summer and get outdoors whether it’s walking pets or playing outside with pets. I have had 3 big dogs growing up and currently have 2 cats of my own that I adopted from homeward animal shelter. I always ensure that any animal in my care gets all the love that they can and that they have all the needed supplies, toys, and treats.

About: Ive grown up around dogs, but now they grow up around me! The last few years have been spent helping my family foster, adopting a dog of my very own, and working as a kennel tech at a local boarding facility where i take care of all sorts of pups daily. I am a full time college student, but I do make time for any animals that need my help! I will have more availability in the summer months. My dogs and kittens are very well loved! My family has taught all the dogs to ring bells placed on the back doorknob when they have to go outside, so they go in and out as they please. I enjoy sitting in the sun with senior dogs, as they prefer that to running around in the yard like the puppies tend to do (although i’ll do both!)

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: The currently puppy dog I have is Tik tok famous! (35k+ followers). In order to have accomplished this, I have had to dedicate a lot of resources into making it happen. With what I've learned to train my dog, I am confident in caring for yours! I will be able to be your dogsitter full time. I am what you call a stay at home dog mom! Your dog will have 24/7 attention when you're with me! I live in an townhome setting, but there is plenty of space for dog love to go around! I do have a female dog so there's always room for a play date.

About: I have 2+ years of experience from working at a pet lodging company where I would walk dogs, do playtimes with dog, cats, birds, and pigs. I would also clean suites and give medication to animals as well! I have experience working with puppies to senior dogs of all sizes. I’m a college student needing some extra side gig money on the side while I also work my full time job and I love animals very much so afternoons and evenings during the week would be preferred as well as afternoons and evenings on the weekends. I can care for your pet(s) by taking them on walks, checking in on them during the day, feeding, playing with them, giving them some cuddles and pets while you’re away, and making sure they go to the bathroom.

About: I have grown up with animals and pets my whole life, so I know how much care they need and how big of a responsibility they are. But as a human, I know how fast and hectic our lives can be, so I’m here to help you check a spot off you to- do list by helping you and your furry friends out! I am a current student at NDSU so as busy as my schedule is, I have plenty of free time on my hands. Over the summers I have a part time job but those are also very flexible hours as well. Since I have pets of my own at my house and live in an apartment during the school year. I personally do not take customers pets back to my place. I also know how new environment can make pets uncomfortable and anxious, which I would never want to put an animal through. But I am willing to stay/come to your home and help out where it is needed!

“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: 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!

Jennifer is truly an exceptional sitter, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. She cared for our two pets for an entire week, visiting twice a day, and consistently went above and beyond in every possible way. She sent us tons of wonderful photos, even made a sweet video of Zeta, and her updates were thoughtful, detailed, and reassuring. What really impressed us was her reliability and professionalism. Even when she ran into a couple of unexpected issues, she still showed up, communicated clearly, and made sure Charlie and Zeta were fully cared for. That level of dedication is rare and meant the world to us. She brought in our mail, changed Zeta’s pee pad, kept everything tidy, and treated our pets with genuine love and attention. We came home to happy animals and a peaceful home, and we never once had to worry while we were away. Jennifer is the kind of sitter you hope to find but rarely do. We can’t recommend her highly enough and will absolutely be booking with her again.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - West Fargo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in West Fargo on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 241 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across West Fargo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a West Fargo stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 with handling special pet needs in West Fargo. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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 calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
