“Daily updates with pictures of my cat and his clean litter box and full food/water dish. Took the time to play with him each day which was great. Thank you!”
“Sandy came over to our house every other day for 3 weeks while we were out of the country. Every single picture and message was filled with love and compassion, while she was extremely professional and courteous. The cats loved her, we couldn't appreciate her more, and will definitely request her services again. A++++”
“Robbi was a dream with our two cats, who warmed up to her so quickly and maybe were even a little sad that we returned 😆 She provided plenty of care, attention, and enrichment for the boys and peace of mind for us during our vacation. We are so grateful to have had her caring for our boys during our trip!”
“Monet did a great job sent updates even managed to see Ruby (who likes to hide a lot). We will be reaching out to Monet when we take our next trip.”
“We're really late in reviewing Kylie because so much has been going on since tgat trip, but wanted to make sure that we did leave a review and tip. We liked Kylie instantly as did our cat. She did a fantastic job with checking on and providing companionship to our cat while we were away. She communicated well with us and we would definitely recommend her and use her again. Thanks so much Kylie for making us feel at ease knowing you were taking care of us.”
“This is my second time engaging Caroline and Alena, and I can't recommend them enough. I am confident my Boys are well taken care of whether it is two days or four. I never worry because Rango and Ripley absolutely LOVE them. Caroline and Alena are very responsive and send thorough updates. 10/10, highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m Victoria—an Air Force active duty with a huge heart for animals and years of dependable experience. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or overnight care, I treat every pet like family. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and love making tails wag. Your pup’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! ⸻ I’m available for walks and pet care outside of my full-time job hours—Monday through Friday after 4:30 PM, and I’m flexible on weekends.

“This is our second time having Raven come over to check on our cats- feed, hang out, and clean the litter box. She is definitely an animal lover, which you can tell even by the way she approaches them and her gentle interactions with them. Our cats must have loved her the first time because when she came back this time, they both were purring and enjoying her presence—Even my Tabby who is not fond of strangers and hides when we have visitors! I love the multiple pictures she sends at each visit. She seems like a nice and responsible girl who I feel I can trust around our furbabes anytime. We won’t be looking for any other pet sitters from now on, Raven will always be our first choice!”
“Katie is so amazing! She loves on your pet and communicates so well. This is the second time she has done drop in visits for us and we are so pleased!”
“Abbie does wonderful with my pup! She does great and allows my dog to get the love and exercise she needs when I’m not able to be there. She does such a great job!!”
About: Not sure where to start! I have taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes! I have a cat named Lexi. I have owned/cared for large breeds, all breed, cats, horses, goats, the works. I am extremely loving and passionate for taking care of humans and animals. I'm not a certified trainer but I have trained my previous dogs in clicker training, behavioral training, and harness training. I'm not afraid of any animals what so ever. Sunday, Monday, Wednesday I take care of beautiful humans. I thoroughly love my job but also have a deep love for animals also. When I'm not at work, I generally have my 2 year old but my husband helps! I absolutely adore animals of all shapes and sizes (with the exception of spiders and snakes). I am one of the most loving people you will ever meet. I will 100% ensure they are fed, pottied, and loved for before I "leave them". They might get left with extra lovings or maybe a surprise over night if needed. I love hiking. My apartment is equipped with dog care essentials. Even if it's too hot, I'm always okay with playing in the water and having a "weighted blanket" for extra cuddles.
“So Grateful to Vanessa for the amazing job she did taking care of our Kitties. They are high maintenance and needed medicine amount other things and she didn’t skip a beat! Very happy with the care given!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am so happy that I found the app. Nathan was fantastic! He came several days before our booking date to meet our three cats, Lucky, Squeak, and Caramel. Our cats took to him right away, so I knew he was going to be our sitter. I enjoyed the daily pictures of our cats and they looked so content. Nathan will definitely be our sitter the next time we need one. Thanks Nathan for a fantastic job!!! Jo Anne Pullins”
“Ally did a good job with my cats. She sent me pictures each time she came over so I could see they were fine. I would hire her again if needed.”
“Olivia was such a blessing while I was away from my sweet girl. The videos, pictures, and short summary made my day knowing how attentive she was. I will definitely be using Olivia again during my stay in Rapid City.”
“Ashlyn is very reliable and communicative. She took great care of our two cats and sent lot’s of pictures while my wife and I were away on a trip. I highly recommend her services and will definitely ask her to watch our pets again in the future.”
“Morgan is kind and caring and did a great job checking on our cats while we were away. Her messages were funny and kept us updated while we were gone. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Mary K. is absolutely wonderful! She looked for our cat twice and she is a perfect pet care giver. Mary is very friendly so much that our cat let her pet her even though she never lets outsiders close. Mary for sure loves pets very much and we are sure our cat is perfectly fine when she takes care of her. We hugely recommend Mary as a pet sitter!”
“I’d I could leave 6 stars out of 5 I would. She is fabulous!”
About: I have 2 dogs currently, Mogwai and Cujoseph, they are my babies. I have been volunteered at the pound for over a year. I have been around animals my entire life and would love the opportunity to meet your fur babies. I have been around many different breeds, and have never met a doggo I didn't fall in love with. In our free time, we love to go on hikes and out on boat rides. Cujo, adores the dog park, Mogwai the corgi, not so much... pretty sure he still hasn't figured out he isn't a human, but he is working on meeting new friends! I also love meows, I have two as well, Jack and Benicio. I look forward to meeting you and your babies!

Samanthia K.
“I’m very happy to recommend Samanthia for any dog-sitting or pet care position. They have a truly natural connection with animals and treat every dog as if it were their own. I’ve seen firsthand the care, patience, and love they give—whether it’s making sure a pet gets plenty of attention and exercise, or just quietly offering comfort and companionship. Sam is responsible, trustworthy, and completely reliable. They take the time to understand each dog’s needs and personality, and they’re great at making pets feel safe and happy, even when their owners are away. Any dog would be lucky to have Sam caring for them, and any pet owner can feel at ease knowing their beloved companion is in such good hands.”
