House Sitting in Booge

“Our dogs were in the best of hands. Consistent communication and updates on how our boys were doing. Definitely went above and beyond! Thank you so much! Made our vacation more enjoyable!!!”

“Zachary was absolutely amazing as our dog sitter. He sent us tons of pictures and updates. Our dogs loved him when he came over for a meet and greet. We will definitely book again with him. He was a great houseguest as well. He even left a cute Polaroid picture of our doggies.”

“Melanie is a true animal lover, kind, and caring person. I felt very safe and secure going away for a few days and having her take care of my dogs and home. She was aware and asked questions that helped me know my dogs were in great hands. So glad to have found Melanie and look forward to having her watch my dogs again in the future!”

Laura B.

“Mikayla was great with Louie! Even when we ran into an issue with him not feeling well, her quick response and care was so appreciated! We loved having her stay at home knowing he was well cared for.”

Akicia R.

“First, I’d like to say that Maddison is phenomenal! She communicated well with us and has a background in taking care of lots of different pets, she took care of our dog and cat like they were her own and watched our house while we were gone. She left our house clean and tidy, took extra care and attention to our pets schedules, and sent lots of photos and updates. I highly recommend booking with Maddison. She was thoughtful and respectful. Our pets were happy and well cared for while we were away, we will definitely be re-booking with her down the line when we need pet care for our next holiday!”

“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!”

Doug W.

“Macy did a fantastic job with our dog, Gracie, and cat, Masha! We were so appreciative of her check-ins and overall excellent care of our home and animals! Thanks so much Macy!”

About: I have been pet/house sitting for the last several years for family, friends, and neighbors. I am a full time college student and would love a dog of my own and unable to do that at this time and would love walks and cuddles from your fur babies. I work less then 24 hours a week at Avera and have plenty a free time outside of work to walk and cuddle your fur babies. I am gone a few weekends in the summer but if I’m not gone I am willing to take my weekends/weekdays with your pets! I treat the pets like they are one of my own! I love to play fetch and go on walks! Outside of walk and fetch would love to just lay and cuddle your fur babies!

About: I've had pets all my life! I've also been involved in animal rescue and pet sitting for many years. From simple potty breaks to giving medication, I have experience with just about anything. I have a soft spot for senior pets, but I'm not picky! I even pet sat a pig once! Trusting your pets care to a stranger can be worrisome, I know from experience. My goal is to provide the care I'd want for my own animals. ❤️ My schedule is super flexible. I can make most days and times work. Advance notice is preferred, but I can usually help if something comes up on short notice! My goal has always been to keep my client's pets' routines as normal as possible. As a pet sitter and a Rover client, I'm able to see both sides. Being in rescue exposed me to animals with many different needs and personalities, giving me invaluable experience. I treat your pet and home like it's my own.

“Ashley was amazing with our two dogs! We are so grateful for how attentive she was with them.”

About: What more fun way than to spend time with loving animals and meet their personalities. 11 years and counting. Dream work makes the dogs happy! I currently work days as a CNA, after work I am able to spend time with your pup! And give it the best attention required Anything you ask for and require I am your gal! Very efficient in my work and what I do! Dogs have feelings too. No doubt!

About: I do work a full-time job, but it’s remote, so I’m able to be flexible during the day as long as my workload is managed properly—which I’m very responsible about. Working from home makes pet care easy for me to fit in, since I can handle walks, feeding, and playtime during breaks while still giving the pets constant supervision without disrupting my work. I live in a one-bedroom apartment where I can host pets, and I’m also able to provide walks and potty breaks. I’m flexible and always open to clear communication with owners.

About: Grew up with indoor and outdoor dogs, and have years of experience caring for friends’ and family’s cats and dogs with love, attention, and responsibility. Pet care fits easily into my flexible daily schedule. As this is a part-time job, I’m available and willing to adjust to meet any needs. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment, follow routines closely, ensure pets are fed, exercised, and comfortable—whether it is in my home or yours.

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: I’ve taken care of dogs and pets for friends and family over the past 5 years. This ranges from cat or dog sitting to dog walking. I currently work from home so I have the ability to be at the home all day Monday through Friday id needed. I have a flexible schedule which allows me time to play with the pets and frequently take them outside. I can work from someone else’s home allowing me to be with your pets full time Monday through Friday. I will play with them in the space provided.

About: I love animals sometimes more than I love people, haha! I’ve got a golden retriever/Brittney spaniel mix & have loved playing with her every day after work. I find a lot of joy in being around dogs & when we go to the pet park, she loves to play with other animals & so do I. I am more than happy to board, walk, spend time, & love on your kiddo! I understand how hard it is to leave your little friend in the arms of a stranger, so I can send pictures & videos throughout their care time with me! I work week days so I cant be with them from 7:30-4 but spend the rest of the time when I get home spending good quality time with them! Weekends are always free all day for me I have a fenced in pet park at my apartment as well as places to take nice walks, & my apartment has a kennel & a comfy couch to sit or lay on!

About: Hi! I am Kylee, I have been raised around horses, dogs and cats. I currently have a dog of my own, he is a English Labrador. I have 10+ years of pet sitting experience, a masters degree in psychology with an emphasis in applied behavior analysis - which is focused on human behavior, however, our furry friends are very similar in the analysis, function, and behavior training. Puppy training is a specialty of mine which includes basic commands, crate training, potty training and leash training. I strive to go above and beyond when caring for animals to not only meet their basic needs but also engagement. Your pet will always have a friend in me! I currently work full time, I am a salaried worker so my schedule is pretty flexible. Typically I work 7am to 3pm Monday through Friday. However on Tuesdays I work 5am to 1pm. I live on a 1/3 of an acre in town, with a fully fenced in backyard, and a friendly almost 2 year old Red English Lab.

“Brady was PHENOMENAL with my pack of 4 doggos! He sent updates, and asked questions, which made me feel more than comfortable! 10/10 would recommend, and we’ll be using him again in the future!”

“Sammi was great. She took such wonderful care of our home and our pup and went above and beyond when he had a small medical problem. We would absolutely recommend her!”
