Dog Sitting Larchwood

About: I have over 10 years of experience with dogs big or small. I’ve had 3 different dogs in my house growing up and have also volunteered at the Sioux Falls humane society. I am currently working full-time and I am on a rotating schedule so I have every other weekend, or Tuesdays and Fridays off. I am available most mornings and evenings. I care for all animals like they are my own. I enjoy giving them all of the love and attention they need. I currently have a 4 year old american bull dog mix, 2 frogs, and 5 fish. I am allergic to cats, so I will love them from afar, if needed I can feed and change litter boxes.

“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!”

“We can’t recommend having Caitlin care for your pets enough!! She takes such great care of our puppy and makes sure he gets lots of love and exercise when she visits! We will continue to book with her whenever our puppy needs care 😊”

“Mikayla was so great with our cats, even when they got into trouble and made a mess. She sent us great photos and I'm confident that our cats were well cared for while we were gone!”

About: Professionalism and effective communication will set me apart from others on the site. Of course, I love dogs and cats, but I also enjoy people and take great pride in being dependable, someone you can trust. If you choose to work with me it will be a great experience for your K-9 and for you too! I will be available for boarding on weekends, and available early mornings and evenings, 7 days a week. Under special circumstances I may be able to expand my availability for boarding to weekdays, but only after building rapport for an agreeable period of time. Kindness and patience are the hallmarks of the care I will provide to the pets under my supervision. I am a loving father of three kids. I was a classroom teacher for 20 years. I grew up with pets. My respect and affection for animals is genuine. Most importantly, I do not think that I know better than you concerning the care of your beloved pet. My attention and the care I provide will align with your wishes and expectations.

About: Hi! I’m Zoe, a reliable and compassionate dog lover with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up around dogs and have always had a natural connection with them—from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I genuinely love being active, so long walks, playtime, and getting outside with your dog are something I look forward to. Whether your pup is big, small, shy, or full of energy, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m also a registered nurse, which means I’m attentive, responsible, and comfortable handling a wide range of needs—including giving medications or caring for older dogs who may need extra support. My background caring for both patients and my own grandparents has shaped me into someone who is patient, observant, and dependable. My schedule is flexible, and I’m committed to providing consistent, loving care while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated so you have peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule as a nurse. On my days off, I have full availability for walks, drop-ins, or extended visits. On workdays, I’m still able to provide consistent care like morning walks/visits, evening check-ins, feeding, and quality time. I’m used to planning my schedule ahead, so I make sure each pet gets reliable, attentive care and isn’t rushed. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions, routines, and preferences to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, medications, and behavior changes. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure during visits and walks. With my nursing background, I’m observant, responsible, and quick to respond if anything seems off, so your pet is always in safe, trustworthy hands.

About: I’ve had large and small dogs in my house all my life so i’ve been comfortable taking care of neighbor’s dogs and houses for any period of time. I’m comfortable with large and small breeds and many different energy level requirements. I had been previously nannying but now have a full schedule for pet care needs! Weekdays and weekends all the same, days or times i’m not available will be updated as soon as possible. Fenced in yard or not the animals will have plenty of potty breaks and walks. During my days I will have errands and events but can spend plenty of downtime and cuddle with the pets. I have no problem crating them when gone if needed and can stay on schedule with given feeding times.

“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!”

About: I can’t get any more dogs right now, but I absolutely love animals. I grew up on a farm, so I’ve always been surrounded by them, and I really miss having that in my life. I currently have two small dogs who are very friendly and love playing with other dogs, and I have a big backyard for them to run around in. I just miss the companionship and joy that comes with being around animals every day. I work full-time, so my schedule is fairly consistent. I leave for work at 6:00 a.m., have a one-hour lunch break at noon, and I’m usually home by 4:00 p.m. Outside of work, I spend my time with my two small dogs, who are very friendly and love being around other dogs. I also have a large backyard where they can run and play. Even with my work schedule, I have plenty of time in the evenings and on weekends to care for and enjoy being around animals. I’d be happy to walk your dog if they enjoy going on walks, take them to the dog park for some exercise and socialization, play with them indoors or outside, and, of course, give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for, even when they’re missing their owner(s).

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and currently have a dog and cat of my own. I’m comfortable caring for pets and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well loved! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I already care for my own dog and cat. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins throughout the week. I provide a safe, calm, and trustworthy environment for pets. I follow owner instructions closely and make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I also have a fenced-in yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company, and I can easily crate dogs if needed.

“Great care towards my two cats. Already knew what to do, didn’t have to explain much. Very friendly!”

“We are incredibly grateful to April and her family for taking such wonderful care of our cat, Mufaza, while we were thousands of miles away visiting family. April made our trip anxiety-free by not only looking after Mufaza but also keeping us updated with thorough visit summaries and delightful pictures. It was clear from the updates that Mufaza was not just cared for but also given enough attention and stimulation to make him feel at ease despite our absence. April’s care was so exceptional that we would be delighted to have her watch Mufaza every time we travel without him. Thank you, April, for your exceptional service and for treating Mufaza as part of your family!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better Rover dog-sitting experience. From the very first communication, Ashlie was professional, responsive, and genuinely caring. She took the time to understand our dog’s routine and personality, which put us at ease. During our time away, we received consistent updates, detailed notes, and regular photos – it was clear Luna was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The drop-in visits were on schedule, and we really appreciated the detailed updates (refreshing food/water, playing fetch, etc.). It’s such a relief to find someone you can trust with your pet in your home. We would absolutely book Ashlie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and attentive care.”

Steve L.

“Great communication and updates! Very friendly and felt like our pup was in good hands!”

About: I've provided pet services and pet/house sitting for a small group of people I've known and been referred to. I've been wanting to expand my clientele, as I have a lot to offer. Although I consider it to be a small side gig, I like to refer to my business affectionately as "No Place Like Home". I have 20 plus years experience, including managing a dog day care for two years. It also includes working with special needs, administering medication orally and through injections. I have references as well as my own personal experience with my cat. I am energetic and can keep up with even the most active dogs. They are my passion. Not only that, pet sitting in your house creates a calmer and safer environment for your pets, as well as keeping your home safe and occupied. I am semi retired. I have a lot of time to spend with your pets in your home ensuring several potty breaks, play and exercise. I will care for your pets as if they are my own.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up with animals taught me how to read their behavior, provide daily care, and make them feel comfortable and safe. I have experience feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, administering basic care, and giving them plenty of attention and exercise. I also have experience helping train puppies, including basic commands, leash manners, house-training routines, and positive reinforcement techniques. I enjoy working with young dogs and helping them learn good habits while building their confidence. I currently care for my own pets and understand how important it is to treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so pet owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and am available most weekdays, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. This allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, or overnight stays. While I generally prefer not to work weekends, I may be available on a case-by-case basis with advance notice. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special needs. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and lots of love while their owners are away. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and wellbeing and will communicate with owners if I notice anything unusual. I understand that trust is important when someone is caring for a beloved pet, so I treat every animal and home with respect and care. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

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.

About: In high school, I was a kennel assistant for 3 years before going to nursing school and becoming a nurse. I love caring for others, including our barking besties. Growing up, I had a golden retriever named Boofer, and I still miss him to this day. I currently own two cats, but hope to someday get my own dog once I have a big backyard (: For now, I’m hoping to get my fill of doggy play time by joining this app! I’m hoping to offer mostly visits on weekends, and occasionally during the week depending on your needs. As a nurse, my schedule is always changing, but I’m confident I can work with you to make a schedule you deem fit for your best friend! My main goal is to keep your pet feeling loved and appreciated while you’re away, however that looks for them. If they’re not a cuddler, no worries! We’ll go on walks and practice tricks! If they love attention, I’m happy to give them endless pets and belly rubs! No two pets are the same, so I’m happy to adjust my care to whatever your pet desires and requires.
