“Zachary was great! He got along with our dogs and even got the stand-offish one to warm up a bit! I think our dogs enjoyed having another dude around. He was super communicative and sent us the perfect amount of pics/updates. House looked great when we got home.”

“Melanie is literally the Mary Popkins of pet care! Her energy is so contagious that our dogs just love hanging around her. I've had a bad experience before on Rover, so I was scared to look again. I'm glad I did! Melanie took care of our 2 hyper labs and gave attention to our cats. When we came home the house was clean and the dogs were just as happy as when we left. Thank-you Melanie!”

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

About: Leash up! New clients welcome—let’s walk and wag! 🐾 Hi there! I’m Breanna—a lifelong animal lover raised on a farm, where caring for animals was second nature. I’m a nurse and now a stay-at-home mom who finds deep joy in looking after all kinds of pets and animals. When I’m with your dog, I don’t just walk or watch—I engage. I incorporate light training to reinforce good behavior, and I love taking candid, high-quality photos that my clients always rave about. The pictures are often their favorite part! Plus, I like to bring fresh carrots from my garden for treats and no matter what I make sure there is always fresh water in their bowl! With a flexible schedule, I’m able to offer reliable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs—whether that’s dogs, cats, birds, fish, or just about any animal needing love and support. Have a pet with special needs? I’ve got experience there too. I cared for our 6.5 yo Saint Bernard with severe medical needs for many years and I’m comfortable working with animals who require extra patience and understanding. Being a nurse has made me very attentive to animals needs! I know they’re your babies—because mine are too. They can’t tell us what they need, so it’s our job to show up with love, patience, and care they can feel. Can’t wait to hear from you! I have a very wide open schedule seven days a week to help care for your pet. Walking is such a necessity for my life and I find that this schedule fits perfectly into that! Here to help! 🤲🏼 We live on a third acre lot in town with a large wooden fence, dogs live inside, but enjoy the outdoors in the backyard. In order to stay at our home, I will be very particular to the dog because it is important for my dogs (Thunder & Murray.) I would love to establish a small cliental of individuals that are comfortable bringing the furbaby to our house for the consistency of everyone.

“Great communication. She sent photos and kept us informed about our dog daily. Highly recommend! we will leave our dog with her again.”

“We booked the house sitting service with Madelyn, and she was great! Very flexible, and attentive to Kevin’s routine. Shen sent us a message when she arrived and when she left — which really gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Kevin was in good hands.”

“Jae was super sweet and great at communicating! We booked last minute and our house was a bit chaotic and she rolled with it all and took great care of our pups!”

About: I’ve taken care of and loved many different dogs my whole life! Almost everyone in my family has dog(s) i’ve had to watch at some point! I work part time so my schedule is normally pretty open starting in the afternoon! Any day of the week would very possibly work for me too! Just like to plan ahead! Making sure dog is trained, or if not yet, making sure I have a leash or fence when letting dog out! Keeping a good eye too!

About: With a passion for four-legged companions and a commitment to their well-being, I am a reliable dog and cat sitter ready to provide top-notch care for your furry friends. With years of experience, I understand the unique needs of both dogs and cats, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free environment in your absence. Trustworthy and dedicated, I prioritize the happiness and safety of your pets, offering regular updates and plenty of TLC. Rest easy knowing your beloved pets are in capable hands, receiving the care and attention they deserve. I’m currently a full-time teacher, so I have plenty of time outside of school to play with your pets and attend to their needs. I’m available during the week after 3:30 PM and on weekends all day/night! I live in an apartment and have a cat of my own. I do not primarily offer care inside of my home, but can’t be flexible for the right situation!

“Cynthia was an amazing in home sitter for my dog. I would recommend her to anyone!”

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.
