“Shelby was awesome! I had to be out of town on short notice and she came in clutch to help out with Boone. I couldn’t ask for anything better and I know Boone had a blast with her from the pictures I saw!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have always loved caring for animals. Growing up, I regularly helped family friends care for their dogs, and in recent years I’ve started pet sitting more regularly for friends, family, and people in my personal life. My partner is also a Rover sitter, so I’ve had lots of hands on experience helping with his clients and caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. I have about 3 years of recent pet sitting experience and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet as an individual. I work a standard Monday–Friday, 9–5 schedule, but my job is flexible and allows me to leave when needed to check on pets. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends, and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m also completely comfortable with overnight house sitting and can work around your pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. My priority is making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. Since I have pets of my own and live in an apartment, I don’t offer boarding in my home, but I’m happy to care for pets in their home where they’re most comfortable. I’m comfortable following individual routines and providing extra care when needed, and I’m happy to communicate closely with pet parents so I know exactly what their pets need.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Rapid City. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
