“Kelsey did a great job taking care of our cats. Left the house clean and took care of all the trash. Cats look great! Couldn’t have asked for a better job! Daily updates were nice and she worked very well with the cats. Thank you Kelsey”
“This was my first time using Rover and/or boarding our cat. Maria was so kind and thoughtful with answering all my questions and giving updates! Every picture she sent really showed how comfortable my cat was getting and that she was making sure to give him love and attention. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone.”
About: Rover friends and pet parents I am SO happy you have stumbled upon my profile. I hope to be just what you need to keep your pets happy, fed, walked, taken out for potty breaks while you are busy during the week and keep your mind at ease. Before I dive into what I want to specialize in as a pet carer and how I can help your fur family, here is a little about myself… For most of my adult life I have been a career server. I have worked at a couple restaurants in the Sioux Falls area. I have three kids of my own and recently have decided to work from home so I can have more time this summer with them. I have always thrived working in an environment where I can build relationships with the customers and now, my furry friends! I have worked in a fast paced, task oriented, environment and enjoy staying organized and on top of my weekly schedule. We recently brought a Frenchton into our family, her name is Dolly and she has just been the best addition. But with a puppy I know first hand how often they need your attention. I have grown up around multiple breeds, sizes of dogs and have always had a couple dogs in our home. In high school and early college years I volunteered often at the local humane society and took the dogs on walks. I am available during the weekdays to let your puppers out for bathroom breaks, multiple times a day if needed (totally understand how often some young dogs need to go outside, haha!). With my work from home schedule, I am able to be flexible to what is needed for your pet on a day-to-day basis. I take my Dolly on daily walks and she LOVES it, so if you are looking for a local dog walker, I am more than willing to help fulfill that need for your furry friend. I know this is a new endeavor for me but with my personal experience with dogs and cats but also my extensive customer service experience. I will ensure to keep your pet and your family happy with my services. Thank you, hope to talk soon! With my work from home schedule, I am available and flexible **Monday - Friday beginning at 9AM - 4:30PM**. Services during the week will include bathroom breaks, feedings, scheduled medications, dog walking, light play outside or inside are available. I am available to come ever 3-4 hours if needed during the day. Weekend: If interested I am available to pet sit on the weekends. Inquire with me personally about this, thank you! I will be doing all of the caring for your pet in your home. -Close attention to owner instructions -Physical strength and stamina -House and pet sitting experience -Trusted mom, involved in the community, respectful of all spaces

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Garretson
We truly appreciate everything BJ does during her drop-in visits with our cat. She is always so caring, attentive, and thoughtful, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. During her last visit, BJ noticed that our cat wasn’t out greeting her as she had on all of the previous visits. Rather than simply assuming she was hiding, BJ took the time to look for her and make sure she was okay. That extra level of care and concern meant so much to us. It’s incredibly reassuring to know that someone is paying such close attention and genuinely cares about our cat’s well-being. Thank you so much, BJ, for being so wonderful and for treating our cat as if she were your own. We truly appreciate you and feel very fortunate to have you caring for her!

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

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 sitter.
