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 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!
“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.”
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 dogs my whole life and I am very comfortable around them! I love to go on walks and play with pups as much as I can! I work from home during the week and leave for meetings or errands occasionally but will be home to keep your pet company! Home most summer weekends and I love to be outside and go on lots of walks. I live in a pet friendly apartment and have a balcony that allows for sunbathing and relaxing! I also have a friendly dog of my own who is a little shy at first but loves to play.
“Amanda is such a great cat sitter and took wonderful care of my 4 kitties. She dispenses my one cat’s ear med twice a day for hyperthyroidism. Highly recommend Amanda to care for your cats when out of town!”
About: I have had cats or dogs my whole life. Have loved animals as long as I can remember. I like animals more then most people. I have had 2 dogs in my life and both have passed away so I'm ready to love on other dogs without the responsibility of ownership I currently work full time but am free most weekends. I'm willing to feed, water and scoop litter. Can let dogs out before and after work some days. Animals seem to like me and I love to give pets and cuddles. I am experienced in health care so could give meds if needed
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 am a Veterinary Technology student at NDSU with a passion for helping all kinds of animals. I have professional pet care experience working at a pig barn, vet clinic, impound, and pet store. This has given me a vast experience with animals of all species and care levels. I am well versed in providing medications and have even raised a litter of kittens. I also love animals of the feathered and scaled variety and would be happy to provide them with care. I am a college student with plenty of spare time to take care of your furry companions. I can easily visit 3 times a day and could make accommodations for more visits if necessary. I am willing to care for your babies at your home or even at mine. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats so there will be lots of play time if you wish. I also have separate spaces if needed such as an extra room and fenced in back yard. I am able and willing to do nail trims and bathing if necessary as well as make sure they take any necessary medications. With me they will have lots of time outside and lots of time to play.
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life and love doing so. I have 2 Shih Tzu’s currently and both need prescribed medication. I have been able to comfortably give them the medicine they need for 6 years now. I have also taken care of my friend’s Golden Lab that required on time medication and food to be given in certain intervals and specific orders. I have taken care of many family friends dogs and was looking into what I could do to look after more. I am confident in giving medicine and comfortable spending the night to watch your dogs while also checking on them throughout the day. As of right now I work on weekdays so I could only do Friday afternoon-Sunday night. I can spend the night on days that are mentioned if needed and would also check on the dogs throughout the day. If it is specified by the owner to play with or take the dogs for a walk I am more then willing to do so. I spend a lot of time either sitting or playing with them. My dogs let me know kind of when they are done playing and just sit with them for as long as I am available. I give my dogs medicine mostly at night once a day but I have done medicine twice a day in the morning and night previously. I take my dogs for walks that vary in length from .75 miles to 2 miles but I’m comfortable with doing more or less depending on the dog. I have slept with dogs laying around me and I am comfortable with doing so.
“Mallory was amazing with our cats! Usually mine are shy but they really enjoyed her company. She was super flexible even with our very last minute booking. She is so sweet and kind! We will definitely be using her in the future!”
About: Hi! my name is Ava. I’m originally from Sheboygan, WI but I moved to Fargo to pursue my PhD in molecular biology at ndsu! I also bartend at Drekker/Brewhalla! Being a PhD student, I do have a kind of weird schedule that could be different depending on the week! I’m more than willing to come play with/let your dog out in between classes! Unfortunately, I live in an apartment complex that doesn’t allow dogs so if it’s okay with you, I will come over to your place to sit!
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!
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.
“Mackenzie was absolutely wonderful. We went on a wel long trip and two days prior we had a meet and greet and the kitties immediately fell in love with her. We got daily photos of the cats and status updates. Although our cats are petty low maintenance, they enjoy the love from the people they allow to live with them. it was so great to know they were in such good hands while we were away. Couldn’t be more pleased.”
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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.
