Morgan took exceptional care of my lil sweet peanut. I was in a bind with work and had to leave my dog at my hotel. Morgan is experienced with this setup and I didn’t even have to ask her to leave the tv on and leave water out. She found a great spot to walk pup and relax with other dogs, despite the heat right next to a creek. Morgan was excellent at communicating and I would recommend her to anyone.

Tina was very reliable and amenable to changing plans for the day, and our pups got plenty of attention on multiple walks throughout the day. Will use her services again and highly recommend.

Fantastic! Nicole cared for our cat, fish, spider, and plants while we went out of town this summer. She did a fantastic job with everyone! She sent pictures and kept us up to date on the household. We will definitely use her whenever we travel! Thank you Nicole

About: With 15 years of pet care experience, I've built a reputation as the sitter friends and family turn to when they need someone they can truly trust. Growing up surrounded by dogs and cats gave me an intuitive understanding of pet behavior, and over the years I've cared for countless breeds - from gentle giants to tiny lap dogs, anxious rescues to energetic puppies. What makes me different is my versatility and adaptability. I'm equally comfortable managing multi-dog households, caring for dogs and cats simultaneously, and adjusting to each pet's unique personality and needs. Whether you have a senior dog requiring gentle, patient care or a high-energy breed that needs extra playtime, I know how to read their cues and provide exactly what they need to feel safe and loved. My experience with diverse breeds and household dynamics means I can handle whatever curveballs your pets might throw - from managing pack dynamics to understanding breed-specific behaviors. I take pride in maintaining each pet's individual routine while ensuring harmony in multi-pet homes. You'll receive regular updates and photos throughout my visits, so you can relax knowing your furry family members are not just being watched, but truly cared for by someone who understands that every pet is someone's beloved companion. I have a flexible weekend schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet's needs. Having recently moved to western South Dakota, I'm excited to build lasting relationships with local pet owners and become a trusted part of this community. My open availability means I can easily accommodate various scheduling needs - whether you need early morning walks, midday check-ins, overnight stays, or last-minute care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet sitting never feels like work to me. It's actually the highlight of my day! I'm happy to work around your pet's established routine and can be flexible with timing to ensure they receive consistent, reliable care. Whether your pet thrives on a strict schedule or is more go-with-the-flow, I'll adapt to what works best for them and your family. I believe the key to excellent pet care is maintaining consistency with your pet's established routine and household rules. When caring for pets in your home, I take detailed notes about their daily schedule, feeding times, favorite spots, and any house rules—whether that means staying off certain furniture or having free rein of the couch. Your pet's comfort stems from familiarity, so I ensure that nothing changes from their normal routine. I provide the same level of attentive care - regular exercise, plenty of affection, and constant supervision. I also maintain open communication throughout, sending updates and photos so you can see how well your pet is settling in and enjoying their time with me.

This was Cecilia and Kiya's first time meeting. I think it went pretty well. Kiya is a bit of a nervous cat and will stay away until she knows you better. She also has to have medicine every other day and sometimes is hard to catch. She likes having someone in the house all the time so me being gone stresses her. I think the second day Kiya actually played a little with Cecilia and wanted to be petted. Hopefully the next time I have to be gone things will be even better.

About: Hello, my name is Kayla, and I love dogs! I have 2 fur babies of my own I am raising right now their names are Maverick and Isabella and they are 3 and 2 yrs old. my favorite breed of dog is Great Danes... I would love to watch over anyone's fur babies, especially big dogs! I dont mind the slobber, boogers, or even the fur! Dog hair is glitter. Dogs are one of the best animals in the world and I have a strong passion for them. Aside from watching dogs, I like to go on walks and I love to bring my fur baby along, Maverick has 3 legs and I think its important to be on a regular exercise routine. For anyone with special needs dogs I am willing to tend to them too, of course with instructions on their routine. I currently am looking for a job so I am available Sun-Fri. 10am-5pm unless you choose to have me watch your pets overnight that is a special order we can work out. It is temporary that I live in an apartment we couldn't find a house when we moved her so no fence. I do make sure everything is turned off when I leave my home to decrease a chance of fire. I lock my doors. My babies are create trained and they know to go to "bed" (their kennel) when I leave. Any further questions of safety just ask.

Ashley is amazing!! We booked her for a Drop-in visit to hang out with our 2 dogs. She was punctual, courteous, asked questions and was engaged during the meet and greet. Ashley sent pics of her stay and the dogs/cat looked like they were enjoying her company.

Nathan has been a lifesaver with my puppies!! He has been dropping in around lunch time to check on the pups. He always shows up on time, helps clean up their messes, and plays with them while I am at work. It definitely gives me a peace of mind when I’m away. 10/10 recommend!

If I could give a million stars I would. Stephanie was absolutely heaven sent. David is extremely guarded however by the time it was time for me to come home Stephanie had him eating out of her hand literally. Trinity is a diva that was catered to. I loved the pictures and updates. If you ever need a sitter pick STEPHANIE!!

About: I have so much pride in connecting with animals. Cats, dogs, or even hamsters, I see each ones heart and soul. From Rottweilers to mutts, orange cats to calicos, I have bonded with every furry friend I have met. I love to train, teach obiediance, or just share some cuddles. Animal comfort, nutrition, and wellness are my priorities for our fur buddies. I work Tue-Fri, from 0630-1700 each day. I have weekends off, Sat-Mon, and wake up at 0500 every morning leaving time for my own doggo. I have close access to 2 fenced dog parks and love long walks in my safe neighborhood. Whether your house or my own, I will need to know where to access their food and treats, fresh litter and the box, medicine if needed, favorite toys, a leash, and which towels to use if your furry friend needs a bath. Animals are only allowed outside with a leash and preferably a vest on my watch. If they come to my home, my doggo Brandt Lee will welcome them with so much love. No human food unless you specifically ask (ie, carrots, meats, eggs).

About: Over 10 years caring for dogs of all types—including high-energy breeds, seniors, and dogs with behavioral challenges. I've successfully boarded dogs with food aggression and anxiety, always providing a calm, safe, and structured environment. What Sets Me Apart: 🐾 Experience with difficult behaviors like food aggression 🐾 Comfortable with administering meds or special diets 🐾 Patient and confident handling all breeds and temperaments 🐾 Reliable and calm under pressure I treat every dog like family—with structure, respect, and lots of tail wags. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, I’ll keep your pup safe, active, and cared for like my own. Pet care is a regular part of my daily life, and I love building my schedule around it. I'm currently available mid-mornings through early evenings, which makes me a great fit for mid-day walks, afternoon check-ins, or evening feeding routines. I’m reliable, flexible, and make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need—whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk. Right now, I have open spots in my schedule, so your pet will get plenty of dedicated one-on-one time! I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting with a high level of care and attention. In a pet’s home, I stick to their regular routine as closely as possible—feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions like medication or crate time. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and not alone while their owners are away. For walks and drop-ins, I focus on giving them exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. During house sitting, I also keep the home tidy and secure, so you come back to a happy pet and a well-cared-for space.

Really appreciate Joslin's help with Arthur. He can sometimes get separation anxiety and shed a lot after a trip, but he didn't have that at all. She was also flexible with some of his feeding issues. 10/10 would recommend!

Marley was amazing with our pups while out of town. She was very communicative and supportive of our pups’ needs. She went above and beyond cleaning our home when a couple unexpected accidents happened and was flexible by coming extra times to give our pups more outside time. We are planning to continue working with her as she showed genuine caring for our pups. Also, I want to note that one of our dogs can be anxious/reactive with humans, and she did incredibly well with him!
