“Nathan has been a lifesaver with my puppies!! He has been dropping in around lunch time to check on the pups. He always shows up on time, helps clean up their messes, and plays with them while I am at work. It definitely gives me a peace of mind when I’m away. 10/10 recommend!”
“I love the peace of mind knowing Robbi was taking such good care of our kitty while we were away, and we looked forward to the daily report cards and photos. This is the second time we’ve booked her and will be sure to do so again in the future. She is very dependable and consistent and takes the cutest pics of our cat! Thank you, Robbi! It is such a relief coming home after a long journey to a happy cat.”
“I have used Rover for arranging drop in visits for cat several times. Usually my cat is suspicious of strangers and hides. However, with Kylie, she was very comfortable. I am glad to have had Kylie look after my cat.”
“Vanessa is the best on Rover. She’s done drop-ins and overnights with our two elderly cats who need A LOT of attention. The house is always in great shape when we return and we always receive pictures of the cats.”
“We always greatly appreciate the care and attention given to our cats while we’re away. We have peace of mind thanks to the detailed updates, photos, and great communication. Thank you for keeping things clean too!”
“Arianne was great with our boy Carbon. It was his first time spending a night without me or my husband present since we got him 3+ years ago, and she made sure that it wasn't a bad experience for him. We definitely went overboard when it came to providing information about him, but Arianne was able to handle it all without issue. 6/5.”
“This was Cecilia and Kiya's first time meeting. I think it went pretty well. Kiya is a bit of a nervous cat and will stay away until she knows you better. She also has to have medicine every other day and sometimes is hard to catch. She likes having someone in the house all the time so me being gone stresses her. I think the second day Kiya actually played a little with Cecilia and wanted to be petted. Hopefully the next time I have to be gone things will be even better.”
“Amanda was very communicative throughout the entire process and did an incredible job checking in on my cat. Would 100% recommend Amanda and will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“If I could give a million stars I would. Stephanie was absolutely heaven sent. David is extremely guarded however by the time it was time for me to come home Stephanie had him eating out of her hand literally. Trinity is a diva that was catered to. I loved the pictures and updates. If you ever need a sitter pick STEPHANIE!!”
About: Over 10 years caring for dogs of all types—including high-energy breeds, seniors, and dogs with behavioral challenges. I've successfully boarded dogs with food aggression and anxiety, always providing a calm, safe, and structured environment. What Sets Me Apart: 🐾 Experience with difficult behaviors like food aggression 🐾 Comfortable with administering meds or special diets 🐾 Patient and confident handling all breeds and temperaments 🐾 Reliable and calm under pressure I treat every dog like family—with structure, respect, and lots of tail wags. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, I’ll keep your pup safe, active, and cared for like my own. Pet care is a regular part of my daily life, and I love building my schedule around it. I'm currently available mid-mornings through early evenings, which makes me a great fit for mid-day walks, afternoon check-ins, or evening feeding routines. I’m reliable, flexible, and make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need—whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk. Right now, I have open spots in my schedule, so your pet will get plenty of dedicated one-on-one time! I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting with a high level of care and attention. In a pet’s home, I stick to their regular routine as closely as possible—feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions like medication or crate time. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and not alone while their owners are away. For walks and drop-ins, I focus on giving them exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. During house sitting, I also keep the home tidy and secure, so you come back to a happy pet and a well-cared-for space.
“We had our meet and greet for Gabbie to meet the kitties. Gabbie had the unexpected happen and had to reschedule but was professional through the whole thing. It was great meeting Gabbie! I gave her a lot of info and she took it all in! The kitties started to take to her too!”
“Morgan was an amazing dog sitter! I received timely updates and notifications, which was great as I was out of town. Morgan was clearly committed to helping Sam despite less than ideal weather conditions. Sam isn't easy to take care of either, he is a 14 1/2 year old, 100 pound golden retriever who is deaf and stubborn! Morgan helped with his routine with great ease. I will book her again without a doubt!”
“Jetaime is a wonderful and dependable sitter. I have two cats and Jetaime took good care of them. High regards and the best recommendation! I will be working with Jetaime in the future.”
“Mya did excellent with our kitty, Waffles! She sent lots of pictures (which we appreciated). Our kitty appreciated the care. Communicating with Mya was easy and she also met with Waffles before I left with my trip. I would def hire Mya again!”
“Mary took great care of our little furball kitty, and really went the extra mile in making sure he wasn't lonely while we were traveling. Her compassion was very appreciated, and we'd be more than happy to leave Mack in her care again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rapid City
If I could give 6/5 stars I would - Kylie was spectacular with the care of our pets (one very large dog and two cats) and was very communicative throughout our time away. This was our first time using rover and Kylie did an amazing job putting our minds at ease with steady updates. 10/10 recommend!
She did an excellent job with our pets! She followed the directions we left behind really well and was able to take care of an uncommon pet (bird) with ease. She was great about taking a lot of pictures, responding, and asking questions when unsure of something. I would highly recommend her and plan to ask her to pet sit for me again.
Shey was absolutely incredible for our drop in visits! It was my first time leaving my cats alone and she made the experience incredible and eased my anxiety. She was very responsive, understandable, provided lots of updates and just overall felt like she loved and took care of my animals how I would! 100% would recommend!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Rapid City on Rover is $23.54 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
