Cynthia was excellent! She took great care of Millie, who is blind and diabetic, for a week while I was away. She sent me pictures and daily updates. Everything was perfect! Definitely going to be my go-to when I need someone to care for my fur baby just like I would!!

Lori did a great job. She communicated with us to let us know how things were going because we have an old dog. None of our dogs were stressed when we got home, and our house was in order. This is the first time we have ever used a sitter and it was a great experience. Thanks Lori!

Mikayla was great with Louie! Even when we ran into an issue with him not feeling well, her quick response and care was so appreciated! We loved having her stay at home knowing he was well cared for.

About: I’ve cared for animals for over 10 years, including dogs, cats, and a variety of small and exotic pets. I’m someone pet parents trust to follow routines closely, keep homes tidy, and provide calm, attentive care while they’re away. I have hands-on experience with feeding schedules, walks, medication, cleaning enclosures, and recognizing when something feels “off” with a pet. I’m especially comfortable caring for pets that need extra patience, whether they’re shy, anxious, senior, or on special diets. Because I offer house sitting, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal environment and routine. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and stress-free, and I treat every home and animal with the same care I give my own. Pet care fits well into my routine, especially for house sitting and drop-in visits. I plan my schedule carefully so pets receive consistent care, attention, and companionship. I’m reliable with feeding times, walks, and check-ins, and I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on safety, cleanliness, and respecting the pet’s routine and space. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, medications, and household rules. I keep doors secured, monitor pets closely, and communicate clearly with owners so they feel confident their pets and home are well cared for.

Mattie did a great job watching our 2 dogs. The temperatures were in the upper 90’s-102 degrees while we were gone. She was sure to keep them in and out of the heat but letting them out when needed. I would have her watch our dogs again.

Michelle has been reliable and so caring to Ernie the past 3 weeks while I was gone for work. Ernie cries for joy when he sees her in the morning and cries for sadness when she leaves. When I’m off, Ernie still expects Michelle would show up at our front door. Very sweet. I’m grateful to know her and she is Ernie’s BFF. I’d request her service again when the opportunity arises. Thank you!!

About: While I don’t have any pets right now, I would love to adore your fur baby while you’re away. They will not be lacking, snuggles, attention, walks, and praise. I work full-time in southern Sioux Falls but have a very flexible schedule to come home to check on and care for your fur babies during the weekdays. In the evenings and on weekends, I am home. Every other week I have my three kids ranging from 11 to 17 who also love pets! I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals, and quite frankly, a house doesn't feel like a home without a wagging tail or a soft purr. Since I don't have any pets of my own right now, your fur-baby becomes my absolute world the moment they walk through the door. Whether we’re exploring the quiet neighborhood on a long walk, playing a high-energy game of fetch in my large fenced-in backyard, or just enjoying some quality 'couch time,' I promise to shower them with the same love and devotion I’d give my own. From playful kittens to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and medication, I’m here to provide a safe, calm, and incredibly loving sanctuary for your best fur friend.

About: What can't I say, I have two small dogs that I absolutely adore and are my bests buds. Going on walks and playing outside are our favorite things to do then the second best thing to do is bath time after which is always fun. I good at doing basic training such as sit, lay down, stay, and roll over though it just takes some time. I have a large fenced in double lot yard so there is plenty of room if they are staying with me or I am more than willing to dog sit at your home if that is more comfortable for you. I wasn't allowed dogs growing up so I'm just making up for it, what could be more fun right. I am fortunate enough to work remote full time allowing me to leave on my breaks to take care of your pets and give myself a mental break either some animal cuddles and exercise! I respect my clients homes and boundaries by providing professional care and service to their animals and giving them the attention they need during the day while their parents are working.

Zach was an amazing sitter for my pups. They are precious and I expect them to be taken care of with full attention of them. Zach went above and beyond. He was timely in responding if I had a question. He took excellent care of them and checked in often with updates and pics to show me they were happy and content. I will be using Zach whenever I need to go out of town. I would recommend and trust him to all pet owners. Thank you Zach.

About: I got my first dog when I was 7, I also would pet sit for people in my neighborhood. Even though I moved they still reach out to have me pet sit. I currently work part time with flexible hours. I am available weekends or weekdays and always willing to go out of my way to help. I have lots of experience with animals and plan on growing my knowledge regarding pets. Currently have a certificate in animal massage which covered animal behavior, and animal first aid. Whether your pet likes to play or snuggle up on the couch I will fit their needs.

Ashley pet sat in our home for us while we were out of town on vacation. She cared for our 2 large dogs and did a wonderful job, sending us pictures while we were away, letting them out and keeping them happy and fed. One of our dogs is nervous around strangers, but quickly warmed up to Ashley. She also cared for our guinea pigs. When we came home our house was clean and just as we left it. Such a wonderful experience! We would definitely hire Ashley again in the future!

Anna did a great job with our two puppies and under unusual circumstances because the maintenance people needed access to our townhome while she was there to fix an electrical issue so they were in an out. She was very communicative and it was great to have her. I’ve had her watch a dog of mine before and was impressed now as I was then. Thanks Anna!

Absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much for taking care of Ruby while we were out today. You are kind, caring, punctual (!), and I feel comfortable leaving any of our pets in your care while we are away whether it's for an hour or a week.

About: My family has had dogs my entire life. Ever since I can remember, I’ve had to feed, care for and spoil our fur babies. I started dog-sitting other people’s dogs when I was about 11 years old. Today, I still enjoy loving on other people’s fur babies and want to do something to make money which I enjoy. I have quite a bit of availability this semester because I’m taking 3 online courses, which provides lots of opportunity to be scheduled. So my weekdays will have lots of availability in the AM, mid-day and PM hours. My weekends are also wide open, so I can do random weekend check-ins or pet sit all weekend too. I will care for each pet according to the directions provided by each owner with special care and attention to detail. If a pet needs walked, crated, played with, etc., it will be done. If a pet/s need meds, I’ll administer them on time and accurate. If pets need let out at very specific times, I will make sure it’s done. All pets will receive the best care and attention while I’m dog-sitting.

Michelle was absolutely fantastic with our animals! From the start, she was conscientious and attentive, making sure to follow all of our instructions to the letter. It was clear that she truly cared about the well-being of our pets, and they took to her right away. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated regularly and was always quick to respond to any questions. We felt totally at ease knowing our animals were in such capable hands. We couldn't be happier with the care Michelle provided and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of reliable, compassionate, and professional pet care.
