About: I’ve always grown up in a household with pets. From dogs and cats, to rodents and reptiles. For small animals or reptile requests, please message me to discuss pricing! I’ve created special bonds with each and every animal, and always love meeting new little friends while i’m out and about. I’ve dealt with special needs from pets such as medications for allergies, anxiety and fear, reactivity, and more. I also spent about a year working in a local pet store where I learned in depth about pet nutrition and supplements, as well as just the basic reasons as to why animals do what they do. I now work at a local animal shelter, so I am experienced working alongside a variety of temperaments, social ability, and sizes! I work full time, but am happy to take on any additional duties outside or around my working schedule. I currently work a set schedule, so I can reliably be available at the same times of day for your pets. I’m available before and after work most days, so if your animal is used to a typical 9-5 lifestyle, we will be a good match. While I’m traveling to your home to meet your fur babies, I’m happy to accommodate whatever you request! One of my pups at home has many special needs and requirements, so I am used to the more hands-on style of pet parenting. Both of my dogs are 50+ lbs, so I am used to large dogs, though I work alongside many small pets in my line of work as well. At my job I routinely work with veterinarians, so I am comfortable administering medications of many kinds. I also have two crested geckos at home that I care for! 🦎 My little lizards have taught me patience, as earning a gecko’s trust is not easy! I vow to be patient and kind working with whatever your pet’s needs may be.
About: I have trained one dog since she was 6 weeks old and is now 7. I also have a rescued abused dog that I trained that is 2.5 now. I have been around dogs and cats my whole life. I work full-time but can frequently stop by to take care of your pet. I love walks as well and playing fetch (or whatever your pet prefers). I would stop by at least 3 times a day and walk at least twice. For now, I will not house pets more than 2 pets in my home due to limited space. When you book me, I would love detailed information on what you expect from me!

My schedule is very flexible. I work part time and know my schedule about a week or so in advance. When I’m not working as a nanny, I’m at home working on my art! Pets who stay with me will likely be spoiled rotten. Dogs allowed on the furniture in this home! I have a small alley home and a partially fenced yard.

“Our boy Cashew is still in the thicket of big-dog adolescence, and at 70lbs it can feel like steadying a runaway train, but Reid has been beyond wonderful with Cashew since the start! Reid is compassionate with our boy without letting him get away with unsafe behaviors, and now that I’m working 12hr days, I can trust that my boy will be exercised, exhausted, and excited to sleep until I’m back home. Choosing someone to bring into your home, while you’re not there, to temporarily *take your dog* is an undeniably stressful decision. Reid has made that process effortless, putting my entire family at ease, and I cannot recommend his services enough!”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a toddle. I was raised on a farm. I am good with any kind of animals. I work 10-6. I can check on them mid day as well. Just let me know their normal schedule and I will try my best to see them! I keep a clean and health environment for me and the pet. I always pick up after myself and the pets. I love dogs and cats.
About: **** PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO MY BUSY FAMILY'S CURRENT SCHEDULE, I AM LIMITED TO PET WALKS & DROP-IN CARE ONLY. ***** *I'm leaving the rest of my bio information so I don't have to re-type it later if/when my schedule opens up again for in-home & overnight care. THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING! __________________________________ I currently work from home and can manage my own schedule to be attentive to your dog. I have a three-year-old German Shepherd/Border Collie mix who loves to play with friends. If your pet prefers to chill inside, my house is well loved by my own dog and my three sons. Your pup can make themselves right at home on the furniture or play in the fenced yard. I enjoy any excuse to go on a walk and look forward to taking your fur baby with me. Your pet can count on as much fun or relaxation as they need. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule. I work from home so if I am here, your pet can be too. My advanced notice for booking requests is to be fair to you. I do occasionally need to be gone to take a kid to the dentist or shuttle someone to soccer practice. If your pup likes car rides, they’re welcome to tag along! Feel free to ask my availability even if it’s short notice. I’m a great improviser! I tend to leave extensive notes for anyone who cares for my pet when I’m gone so I completely understand if you have a long list of things to share about how to best care for yours too. No request is silly. No detail is insignificant. My home environment is pet friendly with a fenced yard and vigilant observation. Pets are part of the family and should be provided that same level of love and attention. I would prefer to have a meet & greet prior to any first service, but it isn't required.
About: I have worked with dogs, cats, ducks, guinea pigs, hamsters, and the occasional turtle. I love animals and am a very attentive sitter. I follow schedules to the tea. Pets are just like kids so I always like to make sure they’re taken care of! My favorite thing to do is dog walks. Not only is a walk a day great for keeping the vet away but it also is great exercise for the hooman. The biggest dog I have walked and cared for is a husky and the smallest dog was a chihuahua. I have experience in house sitting and pet care through family and friends and dog owners like you who request my assistance while you relax on vacation. I have cared for their pets for about 6 years now. I also have experience bathing, feeding, walking and play time! P.s. I will provide you with photos of your pet during each visit with owner and fur friend permission. I try to update my schedule as best as I can to keep up with availability accuracy. On my days off, I can care for our furry friends morning, afternoon and evening. Whatever meets your needs! On days that I have a more packed schedule, I still find the time to be as flexible as can be. I follow every instruction given. The more details the better so I can ensure your furry friend feels safe and in comfortable environment. I often find routine and familiarity to be the best ways to provide this so I do my best to ensure I follow every request. I will send you pictures of your furry friend while you are at work or away to hopefully relieve some stress and know they are being taken care of.
About: Ive got 4 pups of my own and 2 step pups of all ages and sizes. We are vwry active and love getting out of the house, so I'd love to give that opportunity to other pups as well! We love going on daily walks/runs and trail walks/rucks. All my dogs are high energy and rather strong, so no dog is to much to handle here! If your pup wants to take it slow and sniff around or pick up the pace and go for a run, I'm down for it all! I'm currently attending school at UM for Wildlife Biology and looking to work around my school hours helping others with their pets if possible! Im available every weekday prior to 9:30am, and anytime after 1pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. As well as anytime on the weekend! I always have poop bags and a waistbelt that can have a pup hooked up to it if needed. I also carry a pack with multiple camelbaks of water and cooling towels on hot days if we're going for a longer walk. Lastly, I bring a first aid kit and extra booties with whenever we go on trails as well as water in my pack and in the car.
About: I've had my own various pets for numerous years. Also helped sit for friends and family, and using trusted house sitters app (see reviews in pictures). I previously lived with a roommate and we had two dogs and three cats. Therefore I am familiar with multiple pets needs, and structuring routines accordingly. I love being able to meet new animals, each one has their own unique energy and personality! I work remotely so I'm able to adjust my schedule easily and work from your home while hanging out with pets. I also love spending time outside and exercising, and enjoy walking with a furry companion. I am happy to follow whatever rules and routines you have in place to help your pet feel the most comfortable while you are away!
“Alison took great care of our dog! Our boy gets a little lonely and anxious when left alone all day. We had Allison take him on a walk around lunch time. She took extra care and gave him lots of attention. We hope to use her again in the future!”

Maddisyn was great with our dogs, we would (and will) book her again! We could tell she’s spent a lot of time with pets, which really made leaving our pups alone so much easier. One of our dogs is aging and needs some more care; she was very attentive to our sweet old man. Great sitter!

The average cost of Dog Walking in De Smet is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $22 per walk.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in De Smet. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in De Smet after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in De Smet. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
