House Sitting in Benclare

About: I grew up on a hobby farm with almost any critter you could imagine. We used our space to foster and rehabilitate animals, mostly dogs, cats, and horses. Through working with local humane societies, animal trainers, and breeders I think I have a very good understanding of animal behaviors and how to manage them. Working with animals has been a soul salve in my life and I love guiding animals through all stages of learning. I have slots of time all throughout my week where I am available to walk and check in on pets. Sunday is a free day. Monday and Tuesday I am free after 12, Wednesday-Friday I am free 6am-12, 5pm throughout the evening. Unfortunately at this moment I do not have a space that would allow to to board pets, but I am able to care for pets in their own homes. I am very communicative and I will work with you on your pet's specific needs and requirements, as well as any enrichment activities you would like to try.

“Lori was great watching our old man dog over the holidays. She was attentive and gave him just as good of care as if we were here. Will definitely use again!”

“Brittany did a wonderful job watching our two cats. We have a cat who gets anxious when we leave and tends to pee on furniture or clothes if we are gone more than a day or two. We were gone for five days and there were no such incidents thanks to Brittany’s attentive care. Our animals seemed happy and content as if we hadn’t left at all, and it was such a relief to come home to relaxed animals in a clean home. 10/10, thank you Brittany!”

About: Iv grew up with animals all my life and have always had a heart for caring for animals! I have been dog sitting my neighbors dogs for years! I’m currently working part time, so will have plenty of time to dog sit as well! Just reach out and we can set a time that works for the both of us! I have a fenced yard, and many areas for your pups to stay! I have a few younger siblings as well who would love to be entertained by your pups as well!

“Justin is amazing! We came in from out of town and he helped us with relatively short notice. He’s genuinely one of the nicest and most thoughtful sitters we’ve ever had. Our pup loved him.”

About: I’m a calm, nurturing, and reliable pet sitter who genuinely enjoys caring for animals of all kinds. I grew up with pets and currently have both a cat and a dog, so I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust! Friends and family have relied on me to watch their pets, and I’m known for being patient, attentive, and easygoing—especially with animals who may be a little shy or anxious. I take the time to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also love going on walks and making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and routine they’re used to. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pets are in calm, caring hands! I work in healthcare and I'm free after 5pm most days with a day off during the week, and weekends I'm pretty free for check ins, walks, and whatever else you need! In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal schedule with feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide. I make sure they get plenty of attention and companionship, while also respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy! I also enjoy going on walks and making sure dogs get the exercise and enrichment they need. Overall, I treat every pet like my own and aim to provide dependable, loving care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away!

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: Get your pup watched and played with letting you have a day not worrying, i’ve been around dogs forever wanting one of my own and loving dogs like no other. I’ll be there and you can trust me with your pet, i’ll run around and play with them all day long till there tired I love helping and i want to be someone you can rely on, im opening my schedule and able to check in and watch your pet and go check in between 8am to 4:30 every weekday i’d love to keep your baby comfortable and help you out with no worries in your own home, playing with and following everything you normally do.

“Ella was great! Highly recommend!”

About: I will do early morning or late evening walks to avoid burning you furry friends paw pads, and i take into consideration every little detail! I have done dog sitting and walking since I was 10 and provided exceptional care for family members, friends, and community members. While taking on early morning or late night walks, medications and a wide range of dog breeds and ages! I love spending time with dogs and giving them the exercise or simple love and attention they deserve! I am currently attending Dakota Wesleyan University and pursuing a degree in Sports Psychology! I care for my own two dogs and love taking care of others! I would love to provide early morning, late evening, or afternoon walks for your fur babies to ensure the heat/cold does not harm them! In my clients home I ensure that the pets are safely taken care of, always have enough water and food, and get the exercise they need throughout the day. If any messes are made they are cleaned immediately and I even will help clean around the house with no extra charge!

About: I have taken care of dogs even worked at friends for life dog shelter. I love dogs. They are always so sweet I groom mine all the time. I rescue dogs instead of buy dogs when they are young. I feel that all dogs deserve a good home and treated like gold they are so special the brighten up people's live especially elderly. I've been a caregiver for elderly and they always have a dog in nursing homes to keep the people up and in good spirits. 🐕🦮🐕‍🦺🐩🐈🐈‍⬛ Everything day my dog goes to the the dog park and gets walks and gets home made food. They say if you make dog food they will live longer I've grieved so many dogs over the years of having them they are so special to me. My dogs have a doggie door so they can Rome free around the house and the definitely sleep in my bed they don't share alot of space but it's nice to have them to cuddle every night. Cures loneliness.

“Rikki was fantastic with our boys! She sent pictures and they were both so relaxed when we got home. Would definitely recommend Rikki to take care of your fur babies and will use her again!”

“We booked the house sitting service with Madelyn, and she was great! Very flexible, and attentive to Kevin’s routine. Shen sent us a message when she arrived and when she left — which really gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Kevin was in good hands.”

I love animals and want to be surrounded by them 24/7. I devote my full attention to taking care of any pups and felines that come my way. I want them to feel special and relaxed while having a good time with others while socializing. We will provide a safe comfortable environment for your pet while in our care for house sitting, walks and drop ins. We provide lots of videos and pictures!

About: I have taken care of and owned dogs my whole life. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and potty their pets! I also volunteer at the local Sioux Falls humane society walking shelter pups! I would love to take care of yours too :) I am currently a Registered Nurse at Sanford Hospital. Although I work 12 hour shifts when I work, it gives me more days off in the week to be able to take care of your pets! In your home I will follow your specific care instructions to ensure your pet feels as normal as possible with your absence. I will play and walk with your pup to burn some energy. I will feed them when instructed and let them out to go to the bathroom every few hours or when needed. Most importantly, I will love your pet as my own and give them a lot of snuggles and pets!

“Zachary was great! He got along with our dogs and even got the stand-offish one to warm up a bit! I think our dogs enjoyed having another dude around. He was super communicative and sent us the perfect amount of pics/updates. House looked great when we got home.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and throughout college I’ve had roommates with dogs as well which required me to take care of them, walking them, bathing them, etc. I’ve also gotten the opportunity to watch my friends family dogs on multiple different occasions over weekends/when they were on trips. I am a full time preschool teacher so I am not available during the day on weekdays but I would be available evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends. I will keep my eye on your pet while outside to ensure nothing happens. I will play with your pet and give them my full attention.
