Pet Sitting in Custer

About: I've been caring for dogs (and the occasional cat) for over 12 years. My clients know that when I'm watching their fur babies they do not have to worry about their care. I walk, play with, take on pup cup runs, clean up if they get dirty, and yes, even pick up poop from the yard if needed. I love dogs and spending time with them. I am currently unemployed so I can devote as much time as needed to caring for your pets. Even when working, I will always make your pets care a priority. I care for my clients pets solely in their home. I keep them on the schedule their owners prefer so they're happy and relaxed while their owner(s) are gone. I am available for dog walking and check-in's as well as in home pet sitting.

About: I’ve worked with animals, mostly dogs and horses my whole life. My career as a Ship’s Captain makes it impossible for me to have my own pets, so I care for others’s pets, like they are my own. I am very responsible and resourceful. I will always keep you informed on how your dog is, I’ll send you photos, a LOT! I completely respect owners wishes and direction regarding dog care, diet and exercise. I’m a fit person, and enjoy exercise myself. I enjoy the company of a dog when exercising. Makes us both happy. When I care for a dog in your home, I understand the boundaries. My home is in a beautiful area, with plenty of room. I do have a fenced space. I spend a lot of time with who I’m boarding, since I am on leave when I do pet care. I am happy to take care of multiple pets from the same home. However, I do try to take care of only one family at a time. When I’m caring for your pet, I am on leave, and have very few commitments. I spend a lot of time outdoors, and adjust my routine to suit my clients needs. Being on leave makes it easy. I have a lot of room at my home, no pets of my own, and my neighbors don’t have any either. I have a fenced dog run, but I seldom need to use it, but I know I am glad to have it, just in case.

“We were camping in Custer for two weeks and needed someone to walk our two dogs while we rode our bikes during the rally. We felt SO lucky to have Kim respond to our request! I set up 13 visits (tbd) months before then firmed up dates and times when we met with Kim. She took such wonderful, loving care of our two ‘mature’ pups. One is on medication and needs frequent potty breaks and Kim arranged her schedule for that. She kept me informed on each visit which definitely eased my mind so I was able to enjoy my day knowing they were in good hands. Thank you, Kim!!”

“We have never done a drop-in before, so we were a bit nervous about how our dog would do with someone coming into her space. But Margaret was amazing and so patient with her! She came by for a meet-and-greet to get to know her ahead of time, which was perfect. We would 100% have Margaret watch June again!”

“I will highly recommend Denelle to walk your dog. Denelle communicated well and sent us pictures which put us at ease. I will again use Denelle's service when we are in the area.”

About: I have extensive experience in animal care, having grown up rehabilitating, caring for, and training a wide range of animals, from small squirrels to large horses. With several years of experience as a veterinary technician, I am deeply passionate about animal welfare. Over the past several years, I have also provided pet sitting services, caring for both young and elderly animals, as well as those with special needs. I am highly comfortable and confident in administering medications as needed as well as adhering to any specific dietary guidelines. I am a stay at home mom to my 9 month old son, so I have lots of time in my schedule to keep a close eye on your pet and give them as much attention as possible while you’re away! I have a fenced back yard which is perfect for playtime or just to hang out and get some sun! My own dog loves to run around up and down the hill in our yard! I also have a large dog kennel in case that is at all needed.

“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”

“We had our meet and greet for Gabbie to meet the kitties. Gabbie had the unexpected happen and had to reschedule but was professional through the whole thing. It was great meeting Gabbie! I gave her a lot of info and she took it all in! The kitties started to take to her too!”

About: I grew up with dogs and I currently have a black lab who lives with my husband. I’ve dog sat for friends and family throughout my life. I love to run, walk and be outside in nature. Dogs are definitely considered family to me! I am a travel nurse from South Dakota but currently live in Des Moines. I work night shift so during the day I’m around. My days are generally grouped together but letting pets out or walking are both doable! I can do overnights and watch for periods of time it will just depend on my schedule. I always want to respect the animal and let them come to me to meet and get to know me first. I love to play fetch or with whatever toys they like.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life! I grew up with dogs in my home and have taken care of and walked my friends, family, and neighbors dogs. I have so much love to give all different kinds of dogs! I am currently in grad school and looking for a job I can do that is flexible with my academic schedule! I am looking to find consistency in dog walking and/or dog sitting in order to help families out! :) I have experience with a lot of different kind of dogs and I am happy to accommodate whatever is needed for you and your pet to be comfortable!
