Cat Sitting in Garretson

“Zach did a wonderful job taking care of my kitties and mice! Though he didn't have a lot of experience with mice, he jumped right in and was ready to learn! He was reliable and even came back over when my lock wasn't working correctly to make sure my animals weren't alone! Thank you!”

“Trudy Is awesome! We were nervous to leave our cat at first as she was young and had a bit of social anxiety, but Trudy eased all our fears. Very engaged and adaptive to pets needs and owner requests. Would highly recommend Trudy for any pet needs you have!”

“BJ has done an awesome job of caring for two very shy cats. They are even letting her see them once in a while now and that doesn't happen with anyone outside the family! Thank you BJ.”

“Olivia was fantastic! She sent daily pictures, thorough updates and cleaned up any messes my cats made. She is so sweet and genuine. It’s always a little nerve wracking trying a new sitter for your animals but she made me feel at ease right away and I’d definitely recommend her to anyone.”

About: I have a lifetime of taking care of personal pets as well as several years of professional pet care as a veterinary assistant. I currently own four dogs of my own, and live in a house with a fenced in yard about 20 miles from Sioux Falls. I am experienced in animal first aid and CPR, and have experience with a vast amount of breeds. I have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to walk and spend time with dogs outside of the home as well as in my home. I have a fenced in yard and fur babies of my own that love other pets and get along with them well. My dogs are all crate trained and I am happy to kennel your dog if you’d like.

“They were super kind and approachable. We knew within a couple of minutes of meeting them that our kitties were in good hands. They kept us updated with how things were going and sent many pictures. We could see along the way that they didn't just do the basics for care, but also interacted with them as if they were there own pets. It was a great experience and we had no worries whatsoever.”

About: I have been around animals my whole life. Dogs, cats, and horses. Taking care of animals has taught me many things, including to be responsible, dependable, and honest. I am originally from Brandon, SD. I’m currently employed full time as a Registered Nurse. In my current role, I work four days per week. I am available to provide pet care in the morning, evenings, night time, and most weekends. If you have any questions about my availability, reach out & I will let you know! At my client’s home, I do as I am instructed to with the pet. Whether that’s letting them out on a leash or free range in a fenced yard, etc. I want to follow their routine and I like to provide amazing care in the comfort of their home.

“Taiven did a great job, and we will definitely hire her again. She was reliable and sent updates during each visit. Friendly and reliable!”

About: I worked at a boarding facility and daycare, spending my day taking care of dogs and cats of all ages! I took out groups of dogs (between 8-15) and monitored their play, stepping in when needed! I am a student at Augustana University and so my schedule is very flexible, especially during the summer months! I have two more classes to finish my degree so once the school year starts I will still be available most hours of the day! I treat each pet as if they are my own. I am very focused and observant when taking care of others pets as I know how much they mean to us!

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life — from the family cat and our first Labs growing up to my current Labrador retrievers, Huck and Cash. I’ve seen it all: puppies with endless energy, aging animals in their glory years, hunting injuries in the field, upset stomachs, and long-term illness like cancer. I trained Huck myself from puppyhood, and I’ve helped two beloved pets cross the rainbow bridge with comfort, dignity, and love. I know every animal is different, and I take the time to get to know their needs, personalities, and routines. Whether they’re anxious, playful, shy, or slowing down — I adapt and care for them like they’re my own. What sets me apart is that I’ve lived the full life cycle of pet ownership — and I treat your pets with the same care, patience, and compassion I expect for mine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care based on your needs. While I do occasionally travel, I plan those trips well in advance and keep my availability updated so your pet’s care is never disrupted. My goal is to make your time away stress-free — for both you and your pet. “Will they stick to our routine? Will my dog be happy? What if something goes wrong?” If you’ve ever left your pet while traveling, you’ve asked yourself those same questions. I know I have. I’m Paul — a lifelong dog lover, Lab owner, and someone who has traveled often for work. I’ve felt the stress of leaving my dogs behind and the incredible peace of mind that comes with finding a sitter you trust completely. That’s why I offer more than just pet sitting or walks — I offer dependability, real-time communication, and the kind of care I’d want for my own pets. With two Labrador retrievers of my own and years of experience caring for animals, I’m here to make your life easier and your pets’ time away from you as fun and comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect: * Trust and transparency: Daily updates with photos so you’re never left wondering. * Flexibility: I offer drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, or boarding in my home (with a fenced yard and plenty of space). * Preparedness: I have a truck with kennels for safe trail walks or emergencies and experience handling injuries and medications. * Routine-focused care: I keep your pets on their normal schedule so they stay relaxed and happy. * A calm, respectful presence: I treat your pets (and home) as if they were my own. Whether it’s a weekend away or a weeklong trip, I’ll give your pets the attention, structure, and love they deserve — so you can travel with confidence and peace of mind

“We are incredibly grateful to April and her family for taking such wonderful care of our cat, Mufaza, while we were thousands of miles away visiting family. April made our trip anxiety-free by not only looking after Mufaza but also keeping us updated with thorough visit summaries and delightful pictures. It was clear from the updates that Mufaza was not just cared for but also given enough attention and stimulation to make him feel at ease despite our absence. April’s care was so exceptional that we would be delighted to have her watch Mufaza every time we travel without him. Thank you, April, for your exceptional service and for treating Mufaza as part of your family!”

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.

About: I’ve had pets of all kinds since I was little, and even took care of livestock for many years. Animals are such an important part in my life so I’d love to be able to bring people peace of mind when their animals need to be cared for! I am flexible and know how tough it can be to need help and not have any; I’d love to be able to set a weekly routine so you, your pets, and I all know what to expect! I am so excited to spend time with creatures of all sizes and am more than comfortable taking them out on walks, playing with toys, and giving all the snuggles they may desire in a day.

About: I love animals and have taken care of my own for quite a few years. I have experience with training. I trained a German Shepard from young to old. I can teach tricks and give unconditional love. I currently work part time while in school so my schedule is kinda inconsistent however a majority of my afternoons are free. I graduate this year which will create more availability. I make sure they get fed if need be as well as watered. I play with them and may even be able to have play date with my dog. I take them out to use the bathroom and clean up after them if need be.

About: I’ve grown up loving and caring for animals! I’ve been around dogs since I was a baby and had many different breeds growing up. From a akita chow to a cocker spaniel to a yorkie. I have a passion for animals and would love to open my own rescue one day! Thank you for your consideration! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of flexible time! I also have my own transportation and i’m willing to travel! Thank you! I will care for your pets like they are my own! I’m detail oriented and like to go above and beyond for animals and their owners!

About: I grew up in a family of animal lovers. We had many different types of pets throughout my childhood. Additionally, neighbors and friends have trusted me to pet sit and check in on their animals frequently, which I loved doing and took very seriously. I currently have a 7 year old bloodhound. She is both super rambunctious and incredibly lazy, which keeps me on my toes, but has taught me so much about dog ownership. I love animals and would be honored to be entrusted with caring for your pet. I currently have work from home, but have a very flexible schedule. My life is very low key, so nights and weekends are frequently free. Keeping your pet as comfortable and on their routine as possible is my upmost concern. In addition to feeding them and making sure they have bathroom breaks, I am happy to take them on walks and play with them. If they like cuddles and belly rubs, I will do that too. Like I said, keeping your pet happy and giving you peace of mind is my biggest concern.
