“Julia was fantastic! This was my first full experience with Rover, and Julia could not have done anything better. Great communication, lots of pictures, she even saw a potential concern with one of my cats that I already knew about but pointed it out to me. She was terrific and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Nicole has been great to work with! She is prompt in responding and addressing all your concerns and needs. I've can even notice my dog is better for me on walks because of the structured care and training that Nicole brings to her work.”
“Kierstin was fantastic with our two kittens! First time we've used an in-home pet service and I'm very pleased! Our meet and greet went great and I felt very comfortable leaving our kittens (and our home) in Kierstin's care. She sent pictures and updates each day. You won't be disappointed, book with Kierstin!”
About: I graduated from NDSU and competed the Women's soccer team as well. I'm an Omaha, NE native. I have experience with a variety of breeds, senior dogs, puppies and more than one dog at a time. I recently relocated to Fargo from Grand Forks. While in Grand Forks, I regularly volunteered with Journey Home Animal Rescue and adopted my pup, Willow, from them in July 2024. I have always loved dogs and I will make sure your pup has a great experience while you're away! Being a former college athlete, I'm up for walks or jogs, fetch or almost any activity with your pup! I have flexible hours on the weekends for house sitting while you're out of town or out and about for the evening. If you're looking for longer than a weekend house sitting, please reach out, occasionally I can accommodate that. I'm looking forward to connecting with families now that I'm back in Fargo! I have a very flexible schedule right now. I'm available for drop in visit or regularly schedule walks. If you pup is friendly with other dogs, I'd love to walk them with my pup, Willow so she can continue to build her K9 social skills. I will follow any specific instructions or request that you have while I care for your dog. I have experience with a variety of breeds and needs.
“Michelle is great. She was able to check in on Paisley several times when we needed her in a pinch. She was very punctual and Paisley loved making a new friend. We will definitely contact Michelle again to check in on Paisley.”
About: I am a certified fear free professional dog trainer. Prior to opening my business I worked as a Licensed Veterinary Technician for 6 years in 2 fargo/moorhead Veterinary Clinics. Prior to that I worked at a boarding facility. I enjoy working with dogs and cats of all ages. I have had 2 diabetic Cats in my life and I am comfortable with administering medications/injections to dogs and cats.I am also comfortable walking dog who can be over reactive to dogs and people. During the weekdays I have flexibility in my mornings and afternoons. I enjoy being active and offering care for companion animals. I am looking forward to caring for/walking companions animals during that time. I am a certified fear a force free professional dog trainer. I am commented to working with and caring for animals with patience, compassion and respect.
About: I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember and I wouldn't have it any other way. My love for dogs is what led me to join my county's 4H dog project in which I had to train my dog in obedience, agility, showmanship, among other things. I was in the dog project from 3rd grade until my senior year and plan on completing the training through Rover as well! I am currently in school and will be completing an internship now until June 12th so my schedule will be all over the place for a bit. However, after June I should be fairly available during the week! My caring for your pet would have to take place in your home, as I currently live in an apartment with my roommate and her dog. I am more than willing to make trips to do what you need me to if I am available!
“Kathryn did a great job with Pookie and Pumpkin. She shared updates and pictures. I feel she is very trustworthy. She took extensive notes during our meet and greet visit. She followed all of my instructions.”
“Tara does such an amazing job checking in on my two cats! She always gives them lots of love and playtime. I’ve booked with her multiple times and look forward to going so in the future!”
“As always Crystal was a dream! She goes above and beyond, sends detailed updates and I can tell she truly cares for my kitties. She has totally won over my skittish cat that needs meds, without the aid of treats, which we avoid due to allergies. If my cats trust her (without even being bribed), then I know I can! I am so impressed with her attentiveness to all my crazy, detailed instructions. She is a saint for putting up with my neuroses! 100 stars!”
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 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.

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 249 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
