“Jennifer took care of our dogs for the second time and did an excellent job again! She was great at communicating when one of our dogs had a poor appetite for the duration of the weekend, and she offered to take extra steps to make sure they were comfortable during a bad storm. I feel very comfortable with her care of our dogs, and I’m sure I’ll be hiring her again.”
“Marissa is so dependable and mature beyond her years. She is great with animals and truly is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the wellbeing of the furbabies. She went well above and beyond and did so in such a kind way. I highly recommend Marissa to care for your pets.”
“Kathryn was an 11/10 sitter. Such a sweetie and it seems like my girls loved being under her care. I would recommend to anyone!!! She followed instructions and communicated so great.”
“Elle gave us such peace of mind by providing feeding visits for our shy kitty, Layla. We had assured Elle that she would not see our kitty but she stayed around quietly and was finally able to lay eyes on her. We were so pleased with Elle’s care.”
“Amanda was great with our cats! She is so communicative and easy to work with! We were so thankful to have her! It made a huge difference having that peace of mind while on vacation! We could not recommend her more!”
About: I grew up with all sorts of dogs, big to small. I currently have a 2.5 year old husky, so I’m not afraid of hair, energy, or being out in the cold! I truly love pets of all kinds and would be honored to help make your babies happier and healthier, one visit at a time. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom! I have pretty much open availability throughout the day and week. My calendar is free for your babies! Rain or shine, snow or ice, I’ll be outside. My husky is a great motivator to enjoy the soon approaching winter weather, and I would love to help get your pet some exercise even when you may not want to! If your pup is more of an introvert when it comes to other dogs, that’s perfectly okay too: I would love to have some extra time with my audiobooks! I have my boys on a pretty strict routine, and completely understand what it takes to run a house with pets. Whether that’s meal time, walk schedules, bath time, or even enrichment time, I would be honored to help make yours and your pets life a little smoother
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 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: Hi! I have experience caring for all kinds of animals, including administering meds and injections. We have two young cats and a small senior dog that get along with everyone. Plenty of space here for your pets to make friends or keep to themselves. Large fenced yard to explore! I'm available days or evenings to check on your animals. Or bring them here for a few hours or days, nights, or weekends for a pet vacation! I have a large fenced yard and plenty of indoor space for your pets to explore or simply lounge around. I'm also happy to come to you!
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 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 had experience dog sitting since I was 10 years old. I grew up taking care of dogs in my neighborhood and my family, and I have experience sitting for dogs big and small! I am currently working a part time job and will have afternoons available to play with your pups! I also am available on weekends the full day to assist as needed. I know every pet is different, so I'll take the time to learn their routine and make sure they feel comfortable while you're away. I'll follow all of your instructions carefully, keep your home clean and secure, and give your pet lots of attention, playtime, and affection. I'll also send updates and photos so you always know how they're doing.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and had my own cat for over 15 years. I’ve lived with many dogs over the years anywhere from Siberian Husky to a happy go lucky golden retriever. Your furry family members deserve all the love and I hope to show it to them! I’m a full time land surveyor, but I have a pretty flexible schedule. I can usually pop in for drop in visits and you’re welcome to message last minute and I’ll see what I can do! My weekends are also mostly available as well for any drop ins or potential boarding as well. I’m easy going and can work with you the best I can. I have a home that was home to an amazing cat for over 15 years. It is still set up for yours to be very comfortable. I can kennel your dogs if that is a request you desire.
About: Hi! I’m Jessica, a dedicated dog lover and proud dog mom to my golden doodle, Lennie. Spending time with dogs is truly one of my favorite things, and I treat every pup I care for like they’re part of my own family. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to give your dog the attention, playtime, and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or just keeping them company, I’m able to be present and attentive. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’m currently working from home, so I am available throughout the day to care for your pet! Any specific requests for them? Let me know! I allow them on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to. I always keep the water bowl full and pets happy and healthy. I’ll even give them a bath if you want! Just bring their shampoo if they have sensitive skin! I will love on your pet with everything I have. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy!
About: I have had pets of my own most of my life and as I get older and travel more I understand how difficult it is to find a trustworthy helper for your pets. I would love to be a responsible person to help families and their 4 legged friends when their own mom/dad can’t be there for them. I work part time in the evenings and would be happy to help during mornings, afternoons, and evenings when I don’t have other commitments. I could do weekly routines or drop in as needed. I do have a fenced in backyard, but would prefer drop in visits in the pets home. I would consider care in my home possibly in some situations and short term basis.
“KayLee helped us out, pretty close to last minute for a drop in, and what huge relief! She made us feel comfortable and asked a lot of questions about our dogs before we confirmed the booking. Not feeling anxious about someone else caring for my babies is priceless! We will definitely reach out to her again for future needs.”
About: Since I was 12 I have non-stop taken care of dogs at any chance I got. I grew up wanting to be a veterinarian so that I could help dogs and animals. In my home town I would constantly watch dogs for family, my neighbors, and friends. From taking their dogs on walks to bathing them, I enjoy every minute of it. I’m a sophomore in college who absolutely loves all animals, dogs in particular. I do school online so I am very available every single day of the week. I do live in an apartment so not necessarily the ideal situation for a dog but I am more than willing to take them places for exercise. I do not have any pets at this time.
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.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in West Fargo is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Fargo
Alexis is phenomenal! I was traveling for about a week over the holidays and had booked her for drop-in visits to check on my cats every other day. It was originally going to be 3 visits, but I had to last minute add in a 4th. She was very responsive and super flexible for me having to add that extra day. My cats all free-feed, but my senior cat (14) has a rather unique feeding routine where I seclude the younger cats so he can eat a separate meal. During our Meet & Greet, I showed her how I do that with them and while I was gone, she jumped right into that routine to make sure they were distracted and Petrie got his meal. She is so kind and compassionate and took excellent care of my babies while I was gone. They all loved her so much too, which says a lot because one of my cats is usually very cautious around new people, but he did not once shy away from Alexis. He couldn't get enough of her and got so many lovins! On the days she wasn’t there, my cats were a little mischievous, so by the time she came for her visit, she almost always had to pick something up or clean up a small mess. That didn’t seem to sway her at all though - she still provided outstanding care for my babies and kept me in the loop on their shenanigans. I don’t typically travel for long periods like that, but having Alexis as my sitter has given me such a peace of mind. Given my babies loved her so much and how well she took care of them and the place, I will not hesitate to book her again for my next trip!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet 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.
As of October 2026, there are 243 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 .
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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise

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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
