Christina and her family were the ABSOLUTE BEST! They took such good care of my fur babies while away on a trip! Taking care of two high energy dogs is no easy thing to do and my expectations for this rover stay were exceeded. The daily updates left me feeling at peace knowing my dogs were being loved on while I was away. Would most definitely trust Christina with the care of my dogs again.

Kayla is amazing. I can not recommend enough!!! We got updates and pictures of our dog Loki through out his stay with Kayla. He has special care needs as he has epilepsy. Kayla is highly qualified to administer medication and provide needed care in case of a seizure. We are so grateful to have found Kayla. Loki is excited to go back and visit again in the future.

Definitely recommend! Leslie was loved as their own. We received updates and pictures while we were gone which was so nice. They asked lots of questions and made sure they got to know her before we left. Again definitely recommend and will use in the future!

Kelley is far and away the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. I left my dog with her for a long weekend and had absolutely no worries that he was safe and happy! I appreciated the updates and pictures from Kelley throughout, and it was clear my dog was so happy! I highly recommend Kelley, she is great and genuinely loves dogs.

Lindsay and her family were great! It was our first time leaving our dog so we were pretty nervous and Lindsay put us at ease. She sent photos and messages throughout our trip! Our dog clearly enjoyed his time playing with her dogs and spending time with her family. He tends to be an anxious dog and he appeared extremely happy and calm when we picked him up! Thanks Lindsay and family!

About: I have loved animals since I was old enough to walk. I’ve always been drawn to them. I currently work in a vet clinic where I get to fulfill my passion and would love to be able to take care of your pets :) I work 4 days a week right now but I am looking for a little extra money to put aside for a new car eventually! I have two friendly dogs and a cat that would love to keep your fur baby company (the cat not so much) and I want to love on them just like you!

About: Lifelong dog care is more than just a hobby for me—it’s a passion that began with childhood dog walking and grew into a deep commitment after my Air Force service. Today, my own dog is my constant companion and she absolutely loves making new friends, making my home a welcoming environment for your pup. My flexible part-time schedule allows me to prioritize a consistent, high-quality routine for every guest, from strict feeding schedules to plenty of one-on-one attention. I am also currently expanding my professional skills through the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid certification to ensure your furry family members are in the safest hands possible. Whether providing a calm environment to relax or a reliable home-away-from-home experience, I treat every dog with the same love and discipline as my own. With a highly flexible schedule, I offer dedicated care that mirrors your pet’s home routine. I am experienced in administering medications, maintaining strict feeding schedules, and providing plenty of exercise through daily walks. Whether it is a midday stroll or overnight boarding, I have the availability and experience—including caring for my senior neighbors' dogs—to ensure your best friend is safe, healthy, and happy. I prioritize safety through a structured home environment and professional preparation. As a military veteran, I am naturally disciplined with following your specific feeding, medication, and exercise instructions to the letter. I am currently completing the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid course to ensure I can handle any situation with confidence. My home is a secure, routine-driven space where your pet will enjoy a familiar flow—including morning dental treats, timely meals, and daily evening walks. I have a long-standing history of trust in my community, regularly boarding and walking younger, high-energy dogs for my neighbors. I also happen to be a world-class cuddler, but shh... don't tell anyone! ;)

She was very sweet, sent me pictures of my baby, always keeping me updated. Took her on walks to nice places and made sure she was comfortable, made the process very easy and will work with your schedule of things. Great pet sitter <3

About: I have experience working with pets coming from broken homes and showing them how to be a dog again! Dogs deserve to always be loved! I work during the week around 8 hours. The rest of my time is spent with my own fur babies, loving and playing with them! I have a fenced in yard that provides lots of room for playing and running with two dogs of my own to keep them company.

About: While I don’t have any pets right now, I would love to adore your fur baby while you’re away. They will not be lacking, snuggles, attention, walks, and praise. I work full-time in southern Sioux Falls but have a very flexible schedule to come home to check on and care for your fur babies during the weekdays. In the evenings and on weekends, I am home. Every other week I have my three kids ranging from 11 to 17 who also love pets! I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals, and quite frankly, a house doesn't feel like a home without a wagging tail or a soft purr. Since I don't have any pets of my own right now, your fur-baby becomes my absolute world the moment they walk through the door. Whether we’re exploring the quiet neighborhood on a long walk, playing a high-energy game of fetch in my large fenced-in backyard, or just enjoying some quality 'couch time,' I promise to shower them with the same love and devotion I’d give my own. From playful kittens to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and medication, I’m here to provide a safe, calm, and incredibly loving sanctuary for your best fur friend.

She did an awesome job with my dog that is nervous with new people! She went above and beyond by coming to meet him before. I would highly recommend her to watch your dog. 😁

Morgan was great with our little granny, Daisy. Communication was great and I have no doubt that she paid alot of attention to our little doggie. Daisy was well rested, calm amd happy when I picked her up. We will use Morgan again 100%!

About: I have owned cats and dogs for 3 years. My daughter has also walked neighbors and friends dogs and loves to help out. Your pet will get all of the love, cuddles, and walks over here. I am home most days and work part time in the evening, in which my partner and my 14 year old are both home to help take care of any animals, walking, feeding, or the house in general. I have one small playful dog, and two friendly cats. I can easily crate train if needed. My yard is not fenced in but I have a patio that leads to a big grassy field for easy walking. There is also a fenced in dog park at our property that we like to utilize for playing time.
