“Recently moved to South Dakota and needed to find a sitter for my German shepherds while i was away on a business trip. I found Melissa’s profile and read the reviews she had. I reached out and Melissa agreed to watch my pups. She was friendly and communicated very well. She provided me with regular updates, including photos and videos of my pups playing in her yard and whole lounging in the house. My pups had a great time and were well cared for. I recommend using Melissa for your pet sitting needs. I will be a repeat customer.”

“Wow - what an incredible stay Andie had!! So much fun was had with the whole family😊 and it was extremely clear how much Ashley cares about my pup and her wellbeing. I received regular updates with photos and just a really clear sense that Ashley was caring so so well for my pup. I can’t thank the whole family enough, Andie was so happy to be there:)”

“This wonderful family cares for our pup as if she were their own. I was also late dropping her off AND late picking her up, and they were simply gracious and kind, which I appreciate so very much. 😊”

“Melissa was absolutely amazing. She watched our puppy over a long weekend and provided lots of updates, photos and videos! She also offered a meet and greet prior to watching her, which was very appreciated:) We will definitely book with her again next time our pup needs a sitter!”

“Tracy was great to work with, very compassionate about her duty as a sitter and made Hank feel loved and appreciated!! I also appreciated that she was understanding about me being late for pickup as I am just getting settled into a new environment. I hope and look forward to using her again in the future!! Her darling Stella who is as well a Yorkie was just a cute girl. We loved Tracy!”

“Elizabeth treated our two dogs like they were her own! I appreciate her taking care of them while we were away! They had tons of room to run around and wear out some much needed energy! She updated me often and made sure the boys were well taken care of! We would definitely have them stay again!”

About: I have my own fur babies of 5 cats and one 16 year old dog. House is a little chaotic but loving and caring. Each animal has their own needs and I provide them with everything in the world and more. Anything that will work around my college schedule will be most beneficial. Part time jobs can be hard in this economy especially with 18 credit hours this semester. Being able to cuddle and hangout with animals while I can maintain school work sounds like a blast. Your pets are not just pets but they are your babies. I will take care of them like I take care of my own fur babies. They will become one of my fur babies while I take care of them. My pets get their medicine on time, fed on time, and always have water available. Litter boxes get cleaned regularly to keep up with odors.
“Amazing caretaker for our dog. So attentive and caring. We always hated leaving our dog at a big kennel since there was so much less direct attention. This was a fantastic experience, especially because of Amber and Calissa.”

“Jamie took in our Finn like one of her own! He loved her dogs and got on great. She was very flexible on drop off and pick up with helped us as travel issues came up for us!”

“Zach has watched our highly anxious dog twice now and he has done such a great job both times!! We can enjoy our vacations knowing our dog is in such great hands with Zach!”

“Shayla is very responsive and great to work with. She treats your dog like one of her own. She has an awesome large fenced in back yard with so much space to play. I loved all the pictures and updates she sends. Will definitely be back for more stays!”


“I can’t say thank you enough to Marnie and Jeffery! ❤️ This was our first time using rover (we don’t leave our dogs much) and it was an amazing experience! They loved on Murphy extra on his birthday with pup cups, party hats, and treats. I’d be lying if I said my eyes didn’t water seeing those pictures 🥹 We have a few more weddings this year and I’m crossing my fingers they’ll take Murphy and Nala for a few more overnights because I know they’ll be safe and loved! What more could you want?❤️”

“Justin was the best! My dog has severe separation anxiety and Justin made sure he was well monitored and accommodating to his special needs. He was even accommodating our delayed flights. I cannot recommend Justin enough and will be sure to use him again in the future.”

“Heather and her family took amazing care of our sweet Melah. I received Video & pics of Melah throughout the stay. I know she was being well cared for. Big back yard to run in as well. We will definitely book with Heather again!”

About: Animals have always been part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I grew up in a home full of pets and now have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your animals while you’re away. Outside of pet care, I work as a speech-language pathologist for the SFSD. My work has shaped me into someone who is patient, kind, communicative, and attentive to individual needs- qualities I also bring into caring for pets. My schedule is flexible during the summer, which gives me more availability for walks, drop-ins, and select boarding requests. Once the school year begins, I’ll primarily be available during evenings, weekends, and school breaks. I live in a cozy and spacious home in Sioux Falls and can host small, calm dogs who are cat-friendly and comfortable in a new environment. For drop-ins or walks, I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

“Mikayla was fantastic - she communicated quickly and easily, and provided thoughtful and detailed updates on our dog while we were gone. She is a real pro, and we would be happy to use her again!”

“Mattey and her fiance Wyatt took GREAT care of our two dogs over a long weekend. This was our first time using Rover and leaving the dogs with someone, so I was pretty nervous and worried they'd be a handful. Mattey sent me frequent photos and videos, along with reassuring notes that everyone was getting along great. Our dogs were tired and happy when we picked them up, and I'm very grateful to Mattey for making this a great experience. We'll be using Mattey again in the future every time we need a dog sitter - I recommend her 100%!”
