House Sitting in Manley

“Our dogs were in the best of hands. Consistent communication and updates on how our boys were doing. Definitely went above and beyond! Thank you so much! Made our vacation more enjoyable!!!”

“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.”

Jordan D.

“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!”

“First, I’d like to say that Maddison is phenomenal! She communicated well with us and has a background in taking care of lots of different pets, she took care of our dog and cat like they were her own and watched our house while we were gone. She left our house clean and tidy, took extra care and attention to our pets schedules, and sent lots of photos and updates. I highly recommend booking with Maddison. She was thoughtful and respectful. Our pets were happy and well cared for while we were away, we will definitely be re-booking with her down the line when we need pet care for our next holiday!”

“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!”

Doug W.

“Mikayla watched my girls for a weekend and I couldn’t be more thankful for her! She sent picture updates and made sure my babies were taken care of all weekend long. Will definitely be reaching out to her again next time we’re gone! Highly recommend!”

Emily P.

“Macy did a fantastic job with our dog, Gracie, and cat, Masha! We were so appreciative of her check-ins and overall excellent care of our home and animals! Thanks so much Macy!”

About: I have been pet/house sitting for the last several years for family, friends, and neighbors. I am a full time college student and would love a dog of my own and unable to do that at this time and would love walks and cuddles from your fur babies. I work less then 24 hours a week at Avera and have plenty a free time outside of work to walk and cuddle your fur babies. I am gone a few weekends in the summer but if I’m not gone I am willing to take my weekends/weekdays with your pets! I treat the pets like they are one of my own! I love to play fetch and go on walks! Outside of walk and fetch would love to just lay and cuddle your fur babies!

“Ashley was amazing with our two dogs! We are so grateful for how attentive she was with them.”

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.

“Rebecca was great! Flexible and reliable our babies were well taken care of”

“Lexi was wonderful taking care of our Gracie. Her communication was great. Her attention to Gracie was great as well. We are very careful of who we bring into our home to watch our pup. I would have Lexi back again.”

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: Hi! I am Kylee, I have been raised around horses, dogs and cats. I currently have a dog of my own, he is a English Labrador. I have 10+ years of pet sitting experience, a masters degree in psychology with an emphasis in applied behavior analysis - which is focused on human behavior, however, our furry friends are very similar in the analysis, function, and behavior training. Puppy training is a specialty of mine which includes basic commands, crate training, potty training and leash training. I strive to go above and beyond when caring for animals to not only meet their basic needs but also engagement. Your pet will always have a friend in me! I currently work full time, I am a salaried worker so my schedule is pretty flexible. Typically I work 7am to 3pm Monday through Friday. However on Tuesdays I work 5am to 1pm. I live on a 1/3 of an acre in town, with a fully fenced in backyard, and a friendly almost 2 year old Red English Lab.

About: Grew up with indoor and outdoor dogs, and have years of experience caring for friends’ and family’s cats and dogs with love, attention, and responsibility. Pet care fits easily into my flexible daily schedule. As this is a part-time job, I’m available and willing to adjust to meet any needs. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment, follow routines closely, ensure pets are fed, exercised, and comfortable—whether it is in my home or yours.

“Sammi was great. She took such wonderful care of our home and our pup and went above and beyond when he had a small medical problem. We would absolutely recommend her!”
