About: I’ve been caring for pets for over five years and genuinely love spending time with animals of all ages and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, administer medications when needed, and provide lots of love and attention while they’re away. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with unique routines. My background in healthcare has taught me patience, responsibility, and attention to detail, so you can trust that your pet will be safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. I believe every pet deserves kindness, consistency, and plenty of affection. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide dependable care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays with advance notice. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, and affection while keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions exactly as provided. I’ll keep your home clean and secure, provide regular updates with photos, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re part of my own family.
About: I have 2 dogs and have raised/rescued 12 in my life. I have well trained dogs including one that is blind that I trained. Your dogs will have free reign in or out of the house while on the premises. Milk Bones, Ice Water and squirrels to chase. I am Retired, make my own schedule and can accommodate very early morning or weekend drop offs. Your dogs are allowed on the bed, couch or wherever they want. I have a fully fenced yard and two of my 3 neighbors have no pets. I spend most of my free time at home with my two friendly (1 blind) larger dogs that like playing with other dogs.
“Very nice, loving family - your pets will be happy and well taken care of. We felt very safe leaving our 14 year old bospin Bailey with Tara’s family, and received numerous updates with photos and videos while we were traveling. We’ll book again!”
About: I’ve grown up with medium to large dogs my entire life. My best friend was a goofy Great Dane who I had him for all 9 years of his life. We would go on long walks around the 2 college campuses I live next to. I have my own house with plenty of space and yard to run around in. I have a large couch and an extra large bed that I don’t mind them being on. I like to keep a relaxed lifestyle perfect for a dog to relax at while you are away. I also have 2 dog friendly cats and one really loves to play around and chase and get chased by the dogs I’ve watched in the past. I am always taking care of my 2 cats and when I had a dog we would go out every 5-6 hours and take walks 3-4 times a week. The animals in my life have always been my number 1 priority. I have multiple leashes and would never take a dog out without it on. I also have multiple litter boxes for the cats. I also have multiple floors for the cats to stay on if someone doesn’t get along with another.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Canistota home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Canistota.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Canistota sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in SD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
