“Zach has been exceptional with our puppy. Taking care of Mona, keeping her healthy, and going above and beyond to ensure she’s mentally and physically stimulated to balance her rest times in between check-ins!”
“Trudy is very caring, timely, shares plenty of pictures, and is easy to communicate with. She wants the best for your pet. We would highly recommend Trudy. We have rebooked with her multiple times.”
“Casandra was great she helped me out on such short notice! She sent me pics every time she went over to let her out she was very good at keeping intouch with me the whole time.”
About: My household of 6 are all animal lovers. Booking with me would get you 10 extra hands to love and play with your pet when you are away! I am available most weekends and can be for extended periods during the week if booked in advance. I have 3 cats currently in the home as well as 4 children. I have a fenced and large unfenced yard for your pet to play in. Your pet can either play together with my 3 cats or be kept separate, whichever works best for you and your pet. I love to snuggle and give belly rubs to all pets. I am flexible with potty and playtime schedules.
“MiKayla is an absolute jem! We have used her several times over the last 3 years to do drop in care for our cat. I never worry about our kitty while we’re away bc I know she will take such great care of him. I can’t say enough about her!”
About: I've had pets all my life! I've also been involved in animal rescue and pet sitting for many years. From simple potty breaks to giving medication, I have experience with just about anything. I have a soft spot for senior pets, but I'm not picky! I even pet sat a pig once! Trusting your pets care to a stranger can be worrisome, I know from experience. My goal is to provide the care I'd want for my own animals. ❤️ My schedule is super flexible. I can make most days and times work. Advance notice is preferred, but I can usually help if something comes up on short notice! My goal has always been to keep my client's pets' routines as normal as possible. As a pet sitter and a Rover client, I'm able to see both sides. Being in rescue exposed me to animals with many different needs and personalities, giving me invaluable experience. I treat your pet and home like it's my own.
About: It would be my pleasure to help care for your pets while you are away. I grew up with an assortment of pets and have owned a handful of pets of my own, including dogs, cats, hamsters, fish and birds. I have also provided care for a guinea pig. I work full time Monday - Friday, I have flexible lunch breaks to allow for drop-in services. My evenings and weekends are pretty open for spending longer amounts of time in your home to provide companionship for your pets. I prefer caring for your pets in your/their home. This allows for a comfortable, familiar environment while receiving care from someone new. When possible, initial meet and greets prior to first visit is appreciated. I like to be a friendly, familiar face when possible.
“Samantha was the best sitter for my scared, former feral, kitty. She was able to coax her out of hiding and give her lots of TLC. She kept in touch with me every day and sent pictures of my kitty so I could see how she was doing. I felt comfortable having her come into my place. I highly recommend her!”
About: I love animals sometimes more than I love people, haha! I’ve got a golden retriever/Brittney spaniel mix & have loved playing with her every day after work. I find a lot of joy in being around dogs & when we go to the pet park, she loves to play with other animals & so do I. I am more than happy to board, walk, spend time, & love on your kiddo! I understand how hard it is to leave your little friend in the arms of a stranger, so I can send pictures & videos throughout their care time with me! I work week days so I cant be with them from 7:30-4 but spend the rest of the time when I get home spending good quality time with them! Weekends are always free all day for me I have a fenced in pet park at my apartment as well as places to take nice walks, & my apartment has a kennel & a comfy couch to sit or lay on!
About: Growing up, our home was always filled with fur babies—and I still wouldn’t have it any other way! I’m passionate about animals and have experience with a variety of breeds, ages, and temperaments. I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I give my own. I live in a house in Sioux Falls and am a full-time graduate student, which gives me some flexibility in my schedule. Advanced notice is appreciated! I do have cats who prefer a quiet environment, so I can only host small, calm dogs who are cat-friendly and comfortable in a new space. If that’s not the right fit, I’m more than happy to come to your home instead—whatever keeps your pet feeling safe and at ease. It would be my pleasure to care for your fur baby while you’re away—whether that means walks, playtime, snuggles, or sticking to their regular routine. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are always my top priorities.
About: Have been around dogs my whole life. Have taken care of my parent’s dog for 5 years. I have experience administering medications as well as assisting dogs with limited mobility. I currently work part time, but my schedule is flexible for both weekdays and weekends. I can walk your dogs, do drop in visits, or overnight stays. I can watch your dogs at your home where they can be comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I will give them plenty of love and attention.
“I cannot recommend Amanda more. If I could give her 10 stars I would. She goes above and beyond with her care. My cat Marge loved having her over to visit and was always cuddly and super excited to see her. Amanda was very accommodating and made sure Marge was getting the best care. She went out of her way to do different tasks and extra things for my cat even when we didn’t ask. Will definitely have Amanda back when we need care for our cat again. Amanda you’re the best!”

On top of being help with my hamster she visits me weekly to see me and my cats. When she comes she helps clean the litter box, plays with my cats, and also feeds them treats!
