“We really appreciated having Ann as a dog and house sitter. She had a wonderful rapport with our dog. She communicated daily with texts and pictures so that we felt connected and assured of our dogs care. I highly recommend Ann!”
“Cynthia was excellent! She took great care of Millie, who is blind and diabetic, for a week while I was away. She sent me pictures and daily updates. Everything was perfect! Definitely going to be my go-to when I need someone to care for my fur baby just like I would!!”
“Josie did a great job taking care of our dogs - We loved the pictures! They got a lot of playtime and love from Josie! :) Would definitely recommend Josie and her family for your pet care needs!! We will definitely use her again.”
“Lori did a great job. She communicated with us to let us know how things were going because we have an old dog. None of our dogs were stressed when we got home, and our house was in order. This is the first time we have ever used a sitter and it was a great experience. Thanks Lori!”
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.
“Miranda is the best your fur babies could ask for. She gives them the attention they need because she loves them not just because it’s a job. We will definitely invite her to take care of our pups again!”
“5+ stars. Megan goes above and beyond to make sure your fur baby is well cared for. She is clean, considerate, and an all-around gem! We have found our go-to (& wish I could hide her away).”
“Brittany was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in caring for our dogs and cat, as well as our home while we were away. She kept us updated every day with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our fur babies were happy and well cared for. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and she was incredibly responsible, reliable, and attentive to our pets’ needs. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We came home to happy pets and a well cared for house, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Brittany and would gladly trust her with our pets again in the future!”
“Zach was an amazing sitter for my pups. They are precious and I expect them to be taken care of with full attention of them. Zach went above and beyond. He was timely in responding if I had a question. He took excellent care of them and checked in often with updates and pics to show me they were happy and content. I will be using Zach whenever I need to go out of town. I would recommend and trust him to all pet owners. Thank you Zach.”
“This was our 2nd booking with Mattie and was extremely short notice (as well as over New Year’s Day holiday) due to a family emergency out of state. She responded almost immediately to my scheduling request which was a huge relief knowing we’d have someone to watch our pup and already knew him and his routine. Definitely recommend Mattie for any service needed!”
“Zachary was absolutely fantastic with our pets! They were so relaxed and happy while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was looking after them. He was such a pleasure to work with, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to him again. Blu and Jif send their thanks for taking such good care of them! 🐾”
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.
“We are newbies to Rover and were a little nervous at first. Alex totally put our minds at peace immediately with her professionalism and sweet personality. Prior to our trip Alex came and met our little gang to learn all the ins and outs of the dogs routines. While we were gone we received fun pictures and updates of how things were going which meant a lot to us. Our dogs were loved up and cared for by the Best! Alex is are go-to from now on, we absolutely adore her!”
“Anna did a great job with our two puppies and under unusual circumstances because the maintenance people needed access to our townhome while she was there to fix an electrical issue so they were in an out. She was very communicative and it was great to have her. I’ve had her watch a dog of mine before and was impressed now as I was then. Thanks Anna!”
About: Animals have always been part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I grew up in a home full of pets and now have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your animals while you’re away. Outside of pet care, I work as a speech-language pathologist for the SFSD. My work has shaped me into someone who is patient, kind, communicative, and attentive to individual needs- qualities I also bring into caring for pets. My schedule is flexible during the summer, which gives me more availability for walks, drop-ins, and select boarding requests. Once the school year begins, I’ll primarily be available during evenings, weekends, and school breaks. I live in a cozy and spacious home in Sioux Falls and can host small, calm dogs who are cat-friendly and comfortable in a new environment. For drop-ins or walks, I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Boekhoff Subdivision
Miranda watched our 2 labs for 10 days and was wonderful! She stayed the night as our youngest is still a pup and occasionally goes at night still. She kept us informed, the dogs were happy when we got home and the house and yard looked exactly as they did when we left. We have never had a stay over Rover before but we're very happy with the level of care Miranda gave our dogs and our home. We will definitely be using her again!
Zach is trustworthy and polite and clean-cut. I hadn't used Rover before so it was hard to pull the trigger, but using Zach's services was the best choice I made! He was prompt, reliable and sent pictures to ease my guilt of not bringing my puppy and older dog with me on a long weekend vacation. My puppy was 3 months old when he watched them. My older dog was 12 and had mobility issues. They weren't mad at me for leaving them when I got home, which I attribute to good care while I was away.
We booked Mikenzie to house sit for our 2 dogs and 2 cats, for several nights and she was amazing with them. The weather didn't cooperate too much with high heat and thunderstorms so im sure the pups were always full of energy but she kept them occupied and sent photos and updates. I would definitely recommend her to others and would definitely consider rebooting her. Jeff H

FAQs for House Sitting - Boekhoff Subdivision
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Boekhoff Subdivision on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 180 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Boekhoff Subdivision. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Boekhoff Subdivision walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Boekhoff Subdivision maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Boekhoff Subdivision choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
