Pet Sitting in Dell Rapids

About: What sets me apart is my ability to care for dogs at every stage of life. I have special experience with puppies and can reinforce training routines like potty and crate training. I also provide attentive, patient care for senior dogs who may need extra monitoring and comfort. i am currently in college with prn jobs but i have plenty of time throughout the week to spend time taking care of your animals. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding schedules, exercise, medication if needed, and any specific care requirements. Pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision to make sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. For puppies, I help reinforce routines like potty training, crate training, and positive behaviors. For senior dogs, I provide a calmer environment, frequent check-ins, and extra attention to comfort and mobility. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident that their pet is happy and well cared for.

“We are a repeat client and the care of our pet along with the reports with multiple pictures we receive after each drop in visit is very much appreciated. BJ is awesome and takes the time to do everything we asked and makes sure our pet is well taken care of with lots of attention and love. Thank you BJ for everything you do!”

About: With over 10 years of experience, I combine a passion for animals with professional expertise. As a nurse, I understand the importance of compassionate care, and that’s exactly what I provide for your furry family members. Meet the Team: As a seasoned pet sitter, I’ve cared for countless dogs, cats, and other critters. My own pets are my pride and joy, and I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. My Little Helpers: With three children under the age of 7, our home is always bustling with energy and laughter. Your pets will enjoy the playful company of our little ones during their stay. I am also a professional photographer and would love to capture some fun photos of your furry friend! Ask me about my add on photography service! Between my husband and I, someone is always home. It would not be a problem if your pet would need frequent bathroom breaks. As a part time nurse, I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I also have a cat that keeps to himself. He is allowed to free roam the main floor. They play outside whenever I am out. Your animal will be treated like my own pet with your typical rules and requests respected.

About: I have such a big heart for dogs! I have a lot of experience dealing with dogs, I have volunteered at a humane society while in school walking, feeding, and bathing dogs. I have 2 dogs of my own and I keep them very active; I take them running, swimming, or walking with me every day. I love to have fun with them, but also believe discipline is necessary. I like to spend most of my time outside, I am very attentive and will take great care of your pup! I’m lucky enough to work from home so I’m around mostly all day long. I like to play with them outside when I have breaks but also give them the space to relax inside. I have a fenced in yard for my two dogs. They have full range of the house otherwise. I am open to crating if that makes them feel safe. I would not leave the house without them fully leashed.

“Trudy is very caring, timely, shares plenty of pictures, and is easy to communicate with. She wants the best for your pet. We would highly recommend Trudy. We have rebooked with her multiple times.”

“Miss Madison is amazing! She took such great care of both my babies. She boarded my senior dog and did drop in visits on my cat. Madison also has a senior dog so it was nice for him to have a companion he could keep up with! She sent lots of pictures and updates during my trip that gave me the warm and fuzzies that my animals were in great care. I plan to book with her again soon! Thank you again Miss Madison!”

I seem to connect with pets better than a humans :😊 I have never met a pet I don’t love or love me back. Your furry family members will be in her best hands and ger a lot of love and attention when you are away. I work two part time jobs 9-1pm 4-8/9pm 5 days a week sometimes the days vary. I go to the gym 3-5 days a week I hang out with my little sister twice a week when my schedule allows. I am hoping to return to collage next fall for Vet Tech. My days and schedules are pretty flexible. I live down town Sioux Falls in a studio with my cat, kiwi! I have a reliable car and can get to your home wing no worries

About: I’ve had animals my whole life for the last 35 years cats dogs, have a large house with a doggie door and I have two separate bedrooms with beds in them that are completely unused for your cat. If it needs to be by itself or for your dog, it’ll work out perfect I’m basically retiredand I work 15 hours a week so I’m home most of the time I work 12 hours a week besides that I am home all the time so caring for animals will be fine. I have a couple extra cages and spare bedrooms. The animals will be allowed inside. I am home every day work just part-time. They will be taken care of very well. Even have separate bedrooms for animals that needs special care or just for any safety issues.

About: I have lived with and taken care of numerous animals in my life. Growing up on a farm gave me a love for animals and taught me how to properly care for them. I grew up living with cats, horses, dogs, etc. I currently have one cat named Blaze who is a part of the family. Due to Blaze being intolerant to dogs I will not be offering any in-home dog sitting services. I will be more than happy to take care of your family through drop-in playtime, walks, or overnight stays depending on your needs. I am currently enrolled at the local university pursuing a major in architecture. Through my career of personal aid visiting different families in need, I have become familiar with the neighborhoods around town as well as the parks you may want your pet to visit. I am looking forward to meeting you and your family. I currently work on the weekend, and I also attend college. This frees up a lot of my time during the week. I love helping out others and seeing the animals in our community. As mentioned I have one cat, he loves to engage in chase and will either chase me or a Lazer pointer. I will meet all of you requirements as well as provide cuddles and play.

“Had a great experience with Madison, she did 3x daily drop in visits for our cat and dog while we were out of town. She was a clear communicator, easy to get ahold of, and sent pics every visit showing the pets playing and getting treats. She also collected our mail and put it on the table. Would recommend!”

“Zachary did a great job! My dogs took to him right away and he was very respectful. He stayed in communication with me, and made sure the dogs were well taken care of. I will definitely use him again!”

“Anna was wonderful in caring for our dog and cat! This was the longest we have been away from our animals and weren’t sure how they would handle it. They absolutely loved Anna, and she cared for them like they were her own. Her calm and caring demeanor helped them feel at ease. On our return, the house was just how we left it and the animals were happy, showing no signs of anxiety over us being gone. She stayed in contract and kept us informed on how they were doing. It helped put my mind at ease with being gone for so long. Anna was great, we will use her services again and highly recommend her!”

About: My significant other and I live in a house with 3 dogs. We take our dogs (who are more like our kids)on a walk in our neighborhood or fenced in backyard and let them run around at least twice a day! Our dogs are spoiled and loved as they should be! We play ball and snuggle and they sleep with us too:) We'd love to love your pet while you're away! I work part time at WagZone dog day care so I have a lot of free time for my own pups. I love walks, hikes on our land outside of time or just fetch time in the yard. Fenced in yard allows dogs to run freely all day with a dog door to a sheltered garage. My dogs get along with all other souls.
