About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I currently have four dogs; I have two female German shepherds, a male golden doodle, and a female black Labrador retriever. I have house sat a couple of times with the dogs I own, but I have also house sat for two Rhodesian ridgebacks and two cats regularly. When I am away at school, I volunteer at the Heartland Humane Society in Yankton SD once a week. I play, walk, and enrich all the different dogs in that facility. I currently work part time, usually in the evenings; I have plenty of time to hang out with your pups! I would be able to stop by for potty breaks frequently or go on walks. If overnight services are needed, I would be able to stay overnight and take care of your animal’s needs. I love animals. When I dog or house sit, I hang out with the animals as much as possible. I am vigilant and make sure that they are being properly cared for.

This was my first time using Rover and I am so happy that I found the app. Nathan was fantastic! He came several days before our booking date to meet our three cats, Lucky, Squeak, and Caramel. Our cats took to him right away, so I knew he was going to be our sitter. I enjoyed the daily pictures of our cats and they looked so content. Nathan will definitely be our sitter the next time we need one. Thanks Nathan for a fantastic job!!! Jo Anne Pullins

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.

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.

About: I have a dog of my own named Finn, who I adore! He is a mini dachshund. I also grew up in a home with several animals, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I love cats and dogs equally, and I’ve volunteered at the Humane Society of the Black Hills as well. I am currently an accelerated nursing student at SDSU and my schedule works well for pet sitting. I also enjoy taking care of animals it’s very therapeutic for me so it works out. I’m pretty flexible when it comes to pet sitting in someone else’s home. I cannot do it in my own because it’s my mother’s house and she’s allergic to dogs. My own dog is with my husband while I am in nursing school. So I will compensate by getting all the love from the pets. I won’t be caring for pets in my own home, but I’m very comfortable providing care in your home and helping your pets stick to their normal routine. I also pet sit for my brother’s dog frequently, so I’m used to managing daily needs like feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to take your pet on walks and make sure they’re fed, exercised, and getting plenty of attention and affection. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, and I’ll do my best to keep things as normal for them as possible. I also don’t mind helping with light household chores during my visits, things like bringing in mail/packages, watering plants, taking out trash, or tidying up pet areas so you can come home to a clean, settled space.

About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes, from 10-pound lap dogs to 100+ pound gentle giants. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and just about any furry friend in between! Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to check in on your pets multiple times throughout the day, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, exercise, and love. As a fellow dog mom, I know how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby behind. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, daily walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away—so you can enjoy your time with complete peace of mind. I have a flexible work-from-home schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet’s needs throughout the day. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday potty break, evening snuggles, playtime, or simply checking in for some extra love and attention, I’m available to visit your pet several times a day. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Being away from their owner can be stressful for pets, which is why I bring the care to them in the comfort of their own home. I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible, providing familiar schedules, plenty of love, patience, and personalized attention to help them feel safe and at ease. I’d also be happy to schedule a meet-and-greet before your trip so your pet has the chance to get to know me, helping everyone feel more comfortable before the stay.

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).

Shey is very personable and obviously an animal lover. My cat took to her immediately and I felt she honestly spent time giving him attention in my absence. She did a great job. I will definitely be hiring her again.

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.

We had a wonderful experience! She took great care of our dog, Chief, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was kind, communicative, and it was clear Chief was well cared for. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Box Elder on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 106 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Box Elder. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Box Elder stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Box Elder 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!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Box Elder with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.

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.
