“Thank you for coming over and taking Riya for a walk and playing on such short notice!”

About: Hi I’m Josie! :) Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them genuinely makes me happy. I offer boarding, daycare, walks, house sitting, and drop-in visits with a calm, attentive, hands-on approach to care. I’m home full-time so I have a flexible schedule & can provide a safe environment where dogs can feel comfortable, relaxed, and at ease. My goal is to provide a high-quality, personalized experience where your pup is loved, engaged, and treated like family- not just watched while you’re away. Whether we’re playing in the yard, going for a walk, working on simple training, or just relaxing together, I strive to make every visit meaningful! Because I’m home throughout the day, dogs get lots of supervision, attention, outdoor time, affection, play, and enrichment. Whether your dog loves playing, exploring, relaxing in the sun, sniffing around outside, or just staying close by, I adjust their day to what makes them happiest, and I make sure to send lots of updates while doing so! :) I have a fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, explore, sunbathe, and play while being closely supervised. Dogs in my care are provided with toys, puzzles/sniffing games, outdoor time, water play, walks, and one-on-one interaction. My dog Ivy is very friendly, laid back, calm, and enjoys being around other dogs. She loves having another dog around to play with, relax beside, or explore with, and gets along great and is very respectful with other furry friends. 😊 I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from high-energy breeds to anxious or shy pups who need a little extra patience. If I host multiple dogs, it’s only when all owners are comfortable with it and the dogs are a good fit. Otherwise, your pups will receive my full attention and care. I understand that trusting someone with your pet—and sometimes your home—is a big deal. You can expect reliability, clear communication, love for your pet, and respect for your space while you’re away. Whether you’re heading out of town, have a busy work schedule, need care during the day, or simply want peace of mind while you’re away, I’m here to care for your dog as if they were my own. Your pup’s safety and wellbeing are my #1 priority! Please feel free to message me if you’d like to set up a meet and greet, book a service, or if you have any questions about my care. 🐾

About: I have my own fur babies of 5 cats and one 16 year old dog. House is a little chaotic but loving and caring. Each animal has their own needs and I provide them with everything in the world and more. Anything that will work around my college schedule will be most beneficial. Part time jobs can be hard in this economy especially with 18 credit hours this semester. Being able to cuddle and hangout with animals while I can maintain school work sounds like a blast. Your pets are not just pets but they are your babies. I will take care of them like I take care of my own fur babies. They will become one of my fur babies while I take care of them. My pets get their medicine on time, fed on time, and always have water available. Litter boxes get cleaned regularly to keep up with odors.

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life and currently have one of my own, along with experience caring for guinea pigs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach that dogs naturally gravitate toward. I have experience administering medication, handling reactive dogs, and providing long, engaging walks tailored to each dog’s needs. I’m highly detail-oriented and committed to following your pet’s routine closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I also prioritize quick, clear communication, so you’ll always feel informed and at ease while you’re away. I work full-time from home in Sioux Falls, which allows me to provide a calm, consistent environment and give pets attention throughout the day. While I’m typically working until 6 PM Monday through Friday, I’m able to incorporate check-ins into my day as my work schedule is flexible. Before and after work, I dedicate time to walks, play, feeding, and any specific care your pet needs. My evenings are relaxed and centered around making sure pets feel comfortable, exercised, and settled. On weekends, I have more flexibility for longer walks, extra playtime, and maintaining your pet’s routine. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to maintaining your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure in their familiar environment. I’m experienced with administering medication, handling reactive dogs, and adjusting care for puppies or senior pets as needed.

“Excellent service! Will certainly be using again. Your pet will be in great hands with her.”

About: I’m an almost empty nester who truly loves animals and am looking to fill my time doing something meaningful—caring for pets. I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide house sitting, dog walking or drop-in visits as needed. I grew up surrounded by animals and have experience caring for cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, and even goats. Because of that background, I’m comfortable with both small and large animals and understand that each one has its own personality and needs. I’m also a former travel club ball mom, so I completely understand how stressful it can be to make arrangements for your pets and home while you’re away. I know how important it is to have someone reliable, communicative, and trustworthy taking care of your home and/ or pets. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for in your absence. I can also bring in mail and water plants while you are away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide regular care throughout the day. I’m able to offer in-home pet and house sitting or flexible drop-in visits while keeping pets on their normal routines and not left alone for long periods of time. I can care for smaller caged pets in my home but will care for dogs, cats etc in your home because I have pets of my own.

About: Growing up I've always had pets of all shapes and sizes. My household was almost like a shelter because we would often take in strays and friends pets they could not longer care for. Neighbors and friends would also ask me to pet sit while they away or check in/walk their animal if they're gone too long. Because of all this I've cared for many cats and dogs of various ages so I understand what kind of care each animal may need. I'm currently going to be doing rover full time so I'll always have availability for your pets. Also I'm almost always around on holidays! At home I have three cats and two dogs (I'm not the only caretaker), and they're all incredibly friendly. Our house is a little small so another location is preferred.

“Anna has very good communication. She is reliable and gives fantastic updates. Thank you Anna.”

About: I love all animals but dogs have a special place in my heart. I grew up with two Schnoodles (schnauzer-poodles). I helped train one of them including potty training and tricks like sit, shake, roll-over, and spin. I hope to one day foster dogs who need homes. I also have experience caring for cats and birds. I just graduated from the University of Nebraska Medical Center nursing program. I will begin my career as a nurse in Sioux Falls starting in July! I will let you know what days and times I am available! When caring for pets, their well-being is my top priority. I do this by ensuring a safe and happy environment. I always make sure they are getting lots of playtime and love while their owners are gone. I will feed them according to their needs and give lots of potty breaks.

About: My whole life I’ve been around animals… big and small. I grew up on and off a farm, as my dad is a Large / Small animal veterinarian! I’ve always had lots of animals in my home and love taking care of them (and lots of treats)! Also, I do move back to college in August. So Sioux City soon to come :) I’m currently home from college! I am a nursing major at Morningside university in Sioux City. Born and raised in Sioux Falls, and needed a fun summer gig! I can take your animals on long or short walks.. or just out to potty! I also LOVE a good game of fetch or tug! Myself at home I have 2 wild dogs that always need to move around ;)

About: I have always had a strong love for any animal. I grew up on a farm with a wide variety of animals (that I mostly brought home). I showed animals in the county fair, trained dogs, and have now raised 2 of my own dogs. I can’t wait to love and care for your pets in anyways needed! I currently work during the day and have my summers off! I have my own dog who lives with me, who is very spoiled! I’m looking to spoil some more fur-friends! Reach out with any questions! I have an out door leash, a hand held leash, and a radius collar. Customers may choose which one they would like me to use. I am a very flexible person and will meet each individual need when possible.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so caring for them has always felt completely natural to me. When I was younger, I fostered puppies, and as I got older I even went through therapy dog training, where I learned unique skills in reading dog behavior, building trust, and keeping pups calm in new situations. Now I dog‑sit and love your puppies when you can’t be there. I’ve watched dogs for many of my neighbors, and they’ve been so happy with the care I give that they often recommend me to their friends and family. I’d love to meet your furry best friend next! I’m currently taking time off from working to focus on college, which allows me to treat caring for your pet as my full‑time priority. Their schedule, their needs, and their comfort come first, and I’m fully dedicated to being there for them every step of the way. In order to provide the highest level of care, I like to meet with pet owners beforehand to learn their pet’s routines, preferences, and any special needs. Once I understand their daily rhythm, I follow those routines closely to ensure consistency, comfort, and safety. My goal is always to protect and care for your pets to the best of my ability.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and love them to death! I enjoy caring for animals or even just keeping them entertained while their humans are away! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I work in healthcare, so I value responsibility, reliability, and keeping a consistent schedule. On my days off and outside of work hours, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks.I’m happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their pet’s routine and needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, or just some extra company, I make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for someone’s pet. I always make sure to follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, comfort level, and any special needs they may have. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I pay close attention during walks, keep pets securely leashed when needed, and make sure doors and gates are always properly closed. I also believe communication is very important, so I am happy to send updates and photos to keep owners informed and give them peace of mind while they are away.

“We have been using Zach to walk our dog for the past couple months. Very respectful, polite, and keeps me updated with all the bookings. Excellent at responding and extremely trustworthy. We will continue to book- very happy customers!! :)”

About: I have a 2 year old Aussie who LOVES other dogs. I have experience training him and usually make it to the dog park at least once a day as well as a walk. I am currently taking online classes from home. I will be able to have eyes on the dogs even while I’m studying. I stay active with my dog and make sure he gets plenty of exercise. I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks and play, and a decent sized house. My dog is super friendly and would love the company. I DO NOT BOOK FOR NEXT DAY! I am currently taking classes from home so I am available to take care of the dogs most of the day. I am always taking my dog Onyx on walks and to the park and would love to have another dog tagging along! I DO NOT MAKE BOOKINGS FOR NEXT DAY! I will feed dogs whenever their daily meals are and give any medicine as required. My dog Onyx loves to play with other dogs, but if they aren't into it he will respect that. I like to go on long walks with the pups and am a regular at Kirby Dog Park. Let me know if dog parks are not your pup's thing. Other than that..... lots of cuddles, they are allowed on couch/bed and will be treated as if they are my own. I DO NOT MAKE BOOKINGS FOR NEXT DAY!

“Ellie did an amazing job walking my dog! She was super nice and clearly great with dogs. My puppy came back happy and tired, which is exactly what I was hoping for haha. Sent updates and photos—great communication throughout. I’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had a dog in my household ever since I was born. I raised a puppy at age 13 and trained him as well. I love dogs and dogs tend to typically love me as well. I love animals and would love to get to know and take care of your dogs! **able to leash train and work on simple commands with dogs** I currently work part time and I am a full-time college student. I hope to be doing this as a little side job this summer and earn some extra money. I have a fenced-in yard and have taken care of my dogs my whole life growing up. I love to play with dogs as well. I enjoy being outside so I would love to play outside with the dogs or take them on walks.

About: I have experience dealing with dogs with special needs and dogs of all ages. I am also reliable, communicate well, and have a genuine love for dogs! I currently work part time so I have both time before and after work to be able to walk your dog. I have very flexible time. Whether at my place or yours, pets get lots of love and attention! I make sure they're comfy, safe, and sticking to their regular routines.
