“Abby was AMAZING with our boys. She was so sweet and sent pictures each time she stopped in. Highly recommend and will hopefully be booking her services again!!”


2. Josephine S.
“Josephine is a responsible, trustworthy person. Loves animals and my dog loves her. She stayed in my home taking care of Lucky so he didn’t have to go to a strange place. She walked him twice a day. I would recommend her to watch your animals.”

4. Emily G.
“Emily is amazing with animals! She has 2 dogs and 1 cat. Her pets are like children to her... she takes such good care of them! Emily is very responsible and you can always rely on her to put her all into everything. Emily has watched my puppy before and she did great... I do not trust anyone else to watch him because he is crazy! Emily will care for your pets way more than the average person!”


5. Ryann M.
“I feel so awful for leaving my dog Goose at home all of the time, but with my busy schedule, it's been hard to give him the attention he deserves. He's a border collie, so he naturally has a lot of energy, but Ryann does such a good job of giving him the exercise he needs. I feel better knowing I can go about my day and Goose will be well taken care of. I couldn't recommend Ryann enough and thank her enough for all of her help!”

About: I have grown up with a aunt that does breedings and have loved puppies and all dogs in general. I have always had dogs in my life growing up and have such a strong love for them and making them happy as well as the customers! I am student at South Dakota State University but only have classes Tuesday and Thursday for a few hours so I have much time in my day to be with some furry friends. I love being outside and I would love to help out! I do not have a home set up for dogs coming to me. I can only visit your home or go for walks around the area!

About: During the summer, I had the wonderful experience of nanny for a family with 3 dogs, and I cherished every moment. My love for pets runs deep and I take pride in ensuring they receive all the love and care they deserve. Whether its engaging in playful activities, going on a walk, or cuddles. I’m dedicated to creating a nurturing and fun environment for your pets! I am currently a student at South Dakota State University and I’m also involved with the Dance Team. I do not have class or practice everyday so I am pretty available! I like to keep myself busy and I cant think of a better way than working with pets! I am open to having a meet and greet before hand if it makes you feel more comfortable leaving me with your pets care! I will respect your property and privacy and will do follow ups so you can be updated with how your pet is doing! I will also ensure your pets safety by keeping him/her on a leash while on walks, making sure your pet is comfortable by using his/hers family toys and sticking to a routine, and will be aware of surroundings so I can keep your pet out of dangerous situations.

“Brooke was great. She sent lots of pictures and communicated very well. Highly recommend.”


15. Becca S.

“Becca is an absolute angel and really went above and beyond this visit!! She brought in packages as well as put them away where my silly cats could not eat the cardboard, and took care of a mess that was 100% not her fault or responsibility. Becca was flexible and accommodating when my fur babies were being so naughty 🫣”


16. Mia P.

“Mia came to help care for my cat and dog for a few days while I recovered after a short hospital stay. She was luckily available on rather short notice which was much appreciated. She did a great job and I will definitely call on her again!”

“Connor has watched our dog for years and is loving and attentive. He had to give our dog meds and carry her to go out to the bathroom when she had back issues. He’s a very responsible young man.”


18. Aspen J.
About: I’ve lived with dogs since I was 4, my neighbors, friends, and family always love to have me pet sit! Pet Sitting reminds me of my dogs at home, and I love being around animals! I am a sophomore nursing student at SDSU and find being around animals brings a little bit of a home feeling to me. Being able to take care of your animals with a flexible schedule would benefit me and your pets so much!! I’ve dealt with bigger dogs (60-75 pounds) most of my life so I’ve had plenty of experience with all sorts of situations. I am friendly and calm and let pets come to me on their terms to learn to trust me!


19. Jo Anna W.

“Jo Anna was amazing with Siggy. Super grateful she was able to check on her while I traveled for work. She sent me photos and updates to help me feel reassured.”


20. Maycee T.
About: I have taken care of my own pets as well as neighbors pets for many years. I was responsible for many tasks and keeping the fur babies prioritized when families were away. I have worked with many dog breeds including german shepherds, german shorthairs, english bulldogs, and basset hounds! I can handle just about any size! Daily - before I moved for college - I would feed, water and exercise my german shepherd. Despite my busy schedule, I always made time to ensure she was cared for and loved. She was always brought along on adventures to see the world! In a client's home, I would make sure your pets are comfortable with me! If an extended commitment is presented, I would prioritize building a relationship with your fur baby or babies to keep the experience as seamless as possible for all parties involved.
