About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I provide dependable, loving care for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to gentle senior companions. I’ve cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors, building trusted relationships through reliability, patience, and attention to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. As a full-time oncology nurse, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and caring looking after your pets. My nursing schedule changes weekly, but during my time off I enjoy helping fellow pet owners by providing loving, reliable care for their dogs. With years of experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and family pets, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. During walks, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and bathroom breaks while always prioritizing safety with secure leashes and awareness of surroundings. For drop-in visits, I provide fresh water, feeding if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection and companionship. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.
About: Hi, my name is Ana! I truly believe your pet deserves to be cared for like they are part of the family. I have two dogs of my own, Ziggy and Porky, who love dogs of all sizes and even cats! They are always ready to make a new friend and have some fun. If your pet is older, more independent, or simply isn't interested in playing with other dogs, that's completely okay! Ziggy and Porky are great about giving dogs their space when they need it. I'll make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while still getting the exercise, attention, and activity that's appropriate for them. My goal is for your pet to feel at home, have fun, and receive the same patience and care I would want for my own dogs. My availability: I work 3 12 hour shifts a week I can come let your dog out and/or go for a walk, before work and after. Drop in visits: Walks: any time House sitting: any time Boarding: any time must have dog crate Ziggy, porky, and I frequently go on walks to different parks. We travel quite frequently and are always checking different areas out. If you have a preferred area we go that’s ok!
About: I grew up on a farm and always had dogs and cats growing up. Friends have trusted me with caring for their dogs multiples times. It is always exciting to meet other pets! Excited to meet your furry friend! I have a full time job working 7:30-4 on weekdays. But am flexible in the evenings depending on the time of year with other activities I have going on I like to spend time with your pet so they can become friendly with me and not scared. I like to make sure they have fun during my time with them!
About: I have been a dog and cat owner for most of my life. My current fur babies include 2 dogs and a cat, so I know the attention and care needed. I have helped friends and family with their dogs over the years as well with day visits and over night stays. I currently work PRN as a nurse and typically only work a couple days out of the week, which allows me the time to do this! I prioritize safety, routine, and a calm environment when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions to maintain your pet’s normal schedule, including feeding times, walks, medications (if needed), and any specific household rules.
About: I’ve grown up taking care of dogs, and I have three dogs of my own now. My experience includes puppy care, senior dog care, and every day care needs. Here me help make your day easier! I typically work nights as a bartender, so I am available in the daytime between 8am and 4pm. I’m happy to drop in and take care of your pup when your pup needs it most! I am home with my three girls throughout the day, taking care of their needs throughout the day. I’m happy to take some time to extend the same care to your pup during your busy work day!
“Moved back to Sioux Falls and needed a cat sitter two weeks later! Didn't think to look online until the last minute, but was relieved to find available sitters nearby on Rover. Ruth's pic with a black cat is what caught my eye (as I also have a black cat). She responded quickly and graciously was available! Very kind and calm demeanor that worked perfectly for my two sometimes cautious kitties. Coco warmed up to her instantly as seen in the sweet pics Ruth uploaded daily. I felt such relief being away knowing the kitties were being well taken care of! Definitely will look forward to having Ruth help out again in the future!”
About: My husband and I got our own dog, Indie, about 2 years ago! We know how important it is to feel confident and secure in the person who is caring for your fur baby. I will treat your pup like my own and do everything I can to put your mind at ease :) I will have lots of free time to spend with your pup Friday-Monday, in addition to a few random days throughout the week this summer! Reach out with any questions and I’ll hopefully be able to make something work! I live in a townhome that offers a non-fenced in backyard and sidewalks for walking! I have plenty of space for your pet to play. My dog, Indie, will have the best time with your dog :) In your home, I am willing to cater to anything you and your pet are needing!
“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!”
“Maria was so sweet to our cat, Luna. Luna will miss her till they meet again. She took very good care of Luna, fed, petted, combed, cleaned the litter box and played with Luna. I got a detailed report cards every day. She watered my plants too to keep them alive. I am immensely satisfied and grateful for her help while we were gone for the vacation.”
“Elain arrived promptly for the bathing and grooming appointment for my dog. She was very calm, confident, comfortable and and efficient with the bathing and blow dry. I will definitely continue to have her come regularly to bath and groom my long haired dogs. Highly recommended!”
About: Need a great dog sitter or dog walker? Look no further! Send me a message :). I’m willing to do long or short term dog sits in the comfort of your dog’s home. I’ve previously volunteered at animal rescue sanctuaries in Hawaii, Ireland, and the Philippines because I really have a passion for animals. Cats, dogs, horses, you name it- if it’s an animal, I love it haha. I’m currently living in Harrisburg, South Dakota and am looking forward to spending time with your precious pet(s)! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 5 years old. (I have a couple photos uploaded with dogs from I was a kid :) ) My grandma raised dogs so I happily helped out all the time and quickly grew to love dogs. I began my own dog grooming business which I did for a few years, and after that, I dog sat for friends and family. Recently I helped watch a farmers dogs for a month which included walking the 5 of them, feeding them, bathing them, and watering them. I dog sat two French Bulldogs for 2 weeks, everything went great and they loved their walks and bath time. One family actually flies me out to dog sit for them still (for 3 years) since me and their dog are besties and he is aggressive to new people. I’m happy to give you any contact numbers if you’d like to speak with any previous people I’ve dog sat for. I’m very responsible and pay attention to detail to ensure your dog is safe and happy in my care. Send me a message to talk about time/dates but I am pretty flexible :). I am not in school so I’ll have plenty of free time to spend with your dog/cat! What better job than playing with dogs/cats. In my clients home I will be considerate and follow your rules and preferences. I will keep the place tidy and clean and put things back where I found them, such as leash etc. . I’ve volunteered on animal rescue sanctuaries for months with 15+ other volunteers so I know how to be respectful and considerate of other people’s homes.
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child. Growing up, my family had several dogs, including a Shih Tzu, two Shiba Inus, and a Newfoundland, giving me experience with pets of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels. I also grew up with a Persian cat, whom I helped care for from a young age. These experiences taught me how to provide loving, attentive, and reliable care while adapting to each pet's unique needs. I also volunteer at the Sioux Falls Area Humane Society and participate in their Rescue Day Recess! I currently attend the University of South Dakota and work part-time at Sanford Hospital in Sioux Falls. My schedule gives me flexibility throughout the week to check in on pets, take dogs for walks, provide playtime, feed them, and make sure they're happy and comfortable while you're away. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or some extra attention during the day, I'm committed to providing dependable, loving care that fits their routine. I have watched 2 Shiba Inus by myself for over a year and have taken care of a Newfoundland for multiple nights. Neither of the homes had a fence but I compensate by taking the dogs out multiple times a day and going for walks. I’m very familiar with taking dogs out to relieve themselves, feeding, and possible medications they might need to take. Whether the dog is energetic, like my 2 Shiba Inus, or more relaxed, like my 10 year old Newfoundland, I make it work according to their needs.
About: I have had animals my whole life & have helped take care of family & friends pets numerous times so I would like to offer help to others that are in need! I currently work full time during the week but have an hour lunch so I am available for boarding during the week and on the weekends and will have plenty of time to play with your fur baby. I have a fenced in back yard and a friendly black lab and golden retriever to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your fur baby if needed as well.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats of many kinds since I was 14. I’ve grown up with dogs in my family. I’ve taken care of pets for neighbors, friends, and family. They have relied on me to check in with them, feed, and play with their pets. I also have some knowledge on training dogs, as a family member of mine is a dog trainer. I’m currently working part time and a full time college student. I’m available for drop in visits on week nights and all day on weekends, along with dog walking. I’m available for house sitting on weekend nights. When caring for your pet in your home, I will follow any instructions of care needed for your pet to ensure they are loved and cared for in the safety of their own home.
“Cassondra did such a great job helping with our dogs when we had a long day away from home! She did great with all their quirky personalities and spent time playing with them outside! 10/10 would use her for our dogs again.”
About: I have trained and owned animals my whole life. I graduated with a veterinary assistant degree from western Iowa tech in Sioux city Iowa. Animals are my world and I love working and hanging out with them daily. I own a dog and 2 cats and love to cuddle them and train them so they can become and live their best life possible. I can give all my animals baths, exercise, positive reinforcement and love anytime they need it. I have a huge back yard and love to play with them outside too.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 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.
sitters 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 sitter.
