“Tony was fantastic, he treated our dog just like his own, my dog is very very high energy and is a breed a lot of people are afraid to take care of and he had no problems taking care of her, he sent me photos and videos and my dog was so happy and was having a lot of fun, Tony was ok with giving my dog her medicine she needs daily, Tony and his family were Jems! My dog can be extra and she is hard to handle at times due to her strength so I was nervous taking her to anyone until I got to his house and instantly knew my dog was in good hands, I will definitely be using his services again! I HIGHLY recommend Tony, you can tell this is his passion! Thank you so much Tony for taking such great care of our Maizy dog!!!”

“Christina was an absolute life saver! I was in town for a wedding and had her booked for 9a Saturday to 9a Sunday. The trip turned out to be a little too stressful on my pups and without hesitation she helped and took them for Friday overnight as well. She kept me informed of how they were doing through texts, videos and pictures. It was such a relief to see that they were being well cared for and loved! She spoiled them!! My Chihuahua has weight issues which has led him to have really bad and painful knees. She sent me a video of her and her daughters on a walk and pulling my Benny in a wagon!! So sweet! I can’t say enough good things about my experience with her! AMAZING!!!”

“Kayla was great to work with. She was efficient and organized. It’s clear our little guy received great care with her. We will totally contact Kayla again if we need a sitter! She seems to have a true heart for animals!!”

“Mikayla was awesome! she was able to help out last minute and treated our boy so well! I loved the treats and holiday pictures she took of our pup! Good communication and very flexible! i would highly recommend!”

“We cannot thank Kelley enough for taking the best of care of our kiddos. Any concern we had of sending our 2 senior dogs to another persons house were immediately resolved when we met Kelley at her home. She gave frequent updates along with pictures so it never felt we were too far from them. Kelley was incredibly flexible when our plans changed and we were much appreciative of that. We were so impressed with Kelley we travelled 45 minutes for her attentive care. We would hands down book again with Kelley in a heartbeat.”

“Lindsay and her family went far above and beyond to care for our dogs. They treated them like family and took all the steps--and then some--to make sure the dogs were safe and felt right at home. I'd give 10 stars if I could!”

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.
“Kali is wonderful. She loves my dog as her own and Ula had a great time. She sent photos and video. Very responsible sitter! I hope to make use of her services again soon! Highly recommend!”

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.
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.
