Pet Sitting in Alvord

“Zach did a wonderful job taking care of my kitties and mice! Though he didn't have a lot of experience with mice, he jumped right in and was ready to learn! He was reliable and even came back over when my lock wasn't working correctly to make sure my animals weren't alone! Thank you!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for all animals and attention to detail. I have experience administering medications and actually enjoy keeping litter boxes clean and fresh. I’m reliable, gentle, and passionate about creating a calm, cozy space where your pet feels completely safe and loved. I work full-time weekday mornings, but after 1pm I’m all yours for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pet! I’m available Monday through Friday afternoons and evenings—weekends are my time to recharge with my own fur babies. I’d love to help make your pet’s weekday routine extra special! Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I focus on keeping things calm, safe, and loving. I follow your routines closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or meds—and give your pet all the love and attention they’re used to. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re part of my own little fur family.

About: I have had animals my whole life & have helped take care of family & friends pets numerous times so I would like to offer help to others that are in need! I currently work full time during the week but have an hour lunch so I am available for boarding during the week and on the weekends and will have plenty of time to play with your fur baby. I have a fenced in back yard and a friendly black lab and golden retriever to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your fur baby if needed as well.

About: Growing up on a farm, I have had dogs, cats, and all kinds of livestock. Observing animal behavior is key in knowing that an animal is happy and comfortable in their environment. I also have an animal science degree that has given me more insight to general health and diet. I work here on our farm. So my schedule is very flexible and can be adjusted to your pets routine and care. Going for walks or getting outdoors is an easy activity living on an acreage. We have multiple dog beds and allow pets on the furniture. We also have crates available if your pet needs some quiet time or if that is something they are used to.

About: I am a pet person who has always loved animals, especially dogs and have always had a very close connection with any dog I meet! I will also provide my own leashes, doggy bags, and treats! I am currently in cosmetology school and have Mondays and weekends off. I’d also be available Tuesday-Friday evenings after 4pm. I am also available on most weekends. I have two dogs at home and am comfortable with walking them, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they have what they need. I can administer medications as well.

About: With years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring a calm, grounded presence into your pet’s routine. As a Reiki Master and holistic caregiver, I specialize in supporting animals who are shy, anxious, or sensitive. I offer pet sitting, walking, home visits, and plant care under my service brand, Golden Paw & Root, serving Sioux Falls and nearby communities. Whether it’s energetic companionship or gentle overnight care, your pets will feel safe, understood, and nurtured in my hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm, My full time career offers a flexible scheduling. With that said I can offer early mornings, midday drop-ins, and morning/evening walks. I build care plans around your pet’s routine, energy, and emotional needs. I care for pets in a way that honors their individual comfort and safety. I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, clean up after walks or litter, and maintain calm energy in the home. Whether I’m entering your space or caring for your pet in mine, I prioritize trust, clear communication, and grounding routines that help your pet feel safe and loved.

About: My significant other and I live in a house with 3 dogs. We take our dogs (who are more like our kids)on a walk in our neighborhood or fenced in backyard and let them run around at least twice a day! Our dogs are spoiled and loved as they should be! We play ball and snuggle and they sleep with us too:) We'd love to love your pet while you're away! I work part time at WagZone dog day care so I have a lot of free time for my own pups. I love walks, hikes on our land outside of time or just fetch time in the yard. Fenced in yard allows dogs to run freely all day with a dog door to a sheltered garage. My dogs get along with all other souls.

About: I’ve grown up loving and caring for animals! I’ve been around dogs since I was a baby and had many different breeds growing up. From a akita chow to a cocker spaniel to a yorkie. I have a passion for animals and would love to open my own rescue one day! Thank you for your consideration! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of flexible time! I also have my own transportation and i’m willing to travel! Thank you! I will care for your pets like they are my own! I’m detail oriented and like to go above and beyond for animals and their owners!

About: All sorts of dogs have been in my life for as long as I can remember. I have never lived in a home that does not have dogs roaming around, whether they are freshly off nursing or oldies that have trouble getting around! Dogs have always been my God send - I have a soft spot for them and I have yet to meet a dog that doesn’t have a soft spot for me! I have raised dogs, taken care of dogs, and had old aged dogs put down - you name it, I’ve been through it/done it! I have a dog of my own, so every morning I am with her, I come home for about an hour at lunch and spend more time with her, then my days get done fairly early so I have the rest of the day and night to spend with her doing all sorts of things! We take walks, play fetch, and even take trips to the dog park! I truly treat pets the way I treat people. I have had plenty of responsibilities since I was very young; I have been a babysitter since I was 10 years old, and dog sitter since I was 7. I am completely used to cleaning up messes and I am always making it a point to leave homes better than I have found them (sweeping, cleaning countertops, doing extra dishes, etc.). I take privacy very seriously and would never invade anyone in any way that I would not be okay with someone invading my own personal things. I am very welcoming to anything, however I do believe in consequences: if a dog gnaws on me I give a love tap to the nose and a stern “NO”, nothing out of the ordinary.

About: I have been caring for dogs my entire life. I am extremely passionate about dogs and giving them all the love that they deserve! I am a behavior annalyst and can work on mild training with your furry friend! Mostly, I enjoy cuddling and playing, but also love walking and running! I have experience with a large variety of breeds and am willing to work with new breeds. I am flexible and willing to work with your schedule and provide the best for you and your pets! I am willing to accommodate the needs of you and your pet! You won’t regret hiring me to be with your loyal companion! I work part time in the summer months, so have a lot of time to care for your furry friends! I make it a priority to take great care of my dogs and give them the exercise they need, so I will be sure to do the same for yours! I have a fenced in yard for your furry friends to run in. I also have a variety of enrichment toys and activities that I can use to stimulate your dogs mind. These items can be brought to your home as well.

“She’s the best! We love getting pictures when we’re away from home. We can tell the pups love her!”

About: I love animals as if they are my own kids. I can promise you that your pet/pets will be safe with me and will love me. I work full time M-F but can fit schedule into mine. Let’s give it a go. If it doesn’t work I am sure we can figure something out. I don’t currently have pets of my own so I would have to use your kennel but I do have a big back yard. They will have fun.
