“Macy went above and beyond. Unfortunately our dog got sick while she was watching him and she was so gracious staying over time to help accommodate him. Eternally grateful!”
“I'm a newbie here on Rover, so I was nervous to try it out. Jessica made the whole experience amazing! She was clear with details and communication, shared photos every day of my babies, and gave them so much love and attention while I was traveling. Thanks, Jessica! I'll definitely book again. :)”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10. I have worked at two dog kennels as well as have personal pets of my own. I enjoy taking care of all dogs. I’m a College student . My availability would be weekday afternoons, evenings and weekends. I’m available dog walking and letting them out during these times of the day. I will take your dog for walks and let them out. I will give them the upmost love and care while you are away. I’m unavailable for dog boarding at my house at this time.

About: Iv grew up with animals all my life and have always had a heart for caring for animals! I have been dog sitting my neighbors dogs for years! I’m currently working part time, so will have plenty of time to dog sit as well! Just reach out and we can set a time that works for the both of us! I have a fenced yard, and many areas for your pups to stay! I have a few younger siblings as well who would love to be entertained by your pups as well!
“Madison was great! We loved getting updates and pictures after every visit she made. It really put our minds at ease knowing Teddy was being taken care while we were away. We will definitely use her services again next time we have to go out of town.”
About: Hi! My name is Veronica. I'm 27 years old and I LOVE animals. I live in a pet friendly townhome community with a backyard area and it's only a few blocks away from the city dog park! :) Some things about me: I’m married and have two beautiful children that share the same love for animals that I do! I enjoy going on walks, watching movies and cuddling all fur babies! I always have treats on hand and I am so excited to be blessed enough to watch any of your precious little fur babies. I know leaving them in someone else's care can be hard, but I'm here to help make that worry a little less! :) I work 8:30-5 but my husband is home for 3 hours of the day between 11:30-3! They would never be without someone for more than 3 hours. I have a yard big enough to play fetch for hours. I’m also two blocks away from the city dog park! I can easily crate your dog if needed.
About: I am a 30 year old RN in Sioux Falls. I grew up on a farm in the country and my entire life we had dogs and other animals in the family. My dog prior to moving was a pitbull/lab mix. I raised him from a puppy until his last days where I was sleeping with him on the garage floor. I definitely learned how to manage a muscular dog thanks to him. I now have a Merle Great Dane, Meeko. He loves playing with other dogs and even tries playing with cats. I have a 3.5 year old son and 1.5 year old daughter. I work three, 12 hour shifts a week, differing days of week, and every third weekend. I switch between days and nights with a majority on days so I am pretty flexible! I only take bookings for daycare or boarding when I'm off work unless your dog is used to being kenneled for 10-12 hours. If just needing drop in visits, I am able to do those before/after work. I have a fenced backyard and my dog loves playing with any sized dog. I have babysat for dogs from weiner dog to other great dane sized. A lot of outside time is offered to burn off energy. That also gives them a break from my wild toddler and baby.
