Kairi is an awesome dog sitter. My pups love her and she does a great job taking care of them and keeping me looped in. Definitely my “go to” when I have to travel for work.

Becky is great! My friend dog sitter fell through for NYE, and Becky was available. She met Beau and me on an evening a couple days prior. My mini Aussie Beau has cancer, so he needs to pee about every 4-5 hours due to his meds and drinking a lot of water. I was out of town for the night. Becky made sure to watch him and let him out when needed. She let me know when she left my house, and I could hardly tell she was even there, but my Beau got his treats and bathroom breaks so I know she took good care of him! Meeting Becky, she instant gave me good vibes and I can tell she cares about animals. Highly recommend her!

Laura helped me out last minute to watch our 2 pups for a week. She sent me great pics and videos, and our pups warmed up to her very quickly! Which doesn’t normally happen that often for my chihuahua! ;)The dogs were comfortable sleeping with her at night and put me at ease while on vacation that I didn’t need to worry about them. she is a very sweet girl and would book her again.

Rhonda was so kind and accommodating to our ever changing plans. We stayed at the Renaissance Inn (Watiki) located a quick 10 min down the road. from her. This made it super easy to drop off our pup on our way out to explore beautiful south dakota and easy to pick him up on our way back to the hotel. My pup came home happy and tired from a full day of fun…a far better option than having him sit in a hot car as we explored and visited some places (eg Mt Rushmore) that didn’t allow dogs. We had a great time in south dakota and so did our dog—-winning!

I highly recommend Robbi. From our meet and greet through our reservation, Robbi was professional and friendly. I felt confident having Robbi in our home to care for our two dogs. Our senior was extra needy and Robbi was very gracious about the whole thing. She kept in contact with us through text and pictures which was appreciated. I look forward to working with Robbi again.

About: When me and your dog get together, and I’ll drop off your dog. Your dog will tell you how much they enjoyed the excitement and plans, but we did the amount of walks we do in the amount of time to play play fetch go to the dog park go on a run, the amount of snacks that we eat it’s like a dream come true just in dog form. I love my dog and being outside so I will love your dog just as much maybe more! Every day of the week Sunday through Sunday whenever I can play with your dog or changes going on a walk is the perfect time for me. I care for the dog like it’s my dog. Anytime of the daylight and sun is up is when we will be outside and enjoying the sunshine and breeze

About: I’ve taken care of dogs big and small, for neighbors, friends, and family since I was young. I work well with routine. Most animals love me from the moment we meet, willing to stay with the animals all day. Currently working part time so can stay with animals for long periods of time. Can work most days of the week. Not in school and my other job is for whenever I can. Unfortunately I cannot have other animals at the apartment complex I live in so I wouldn’t be available to watch them here. Also I only have unsociable cats at home so I wouldn’t be able to bring them over for play dates either.

Nathan is a fantastic dog and house sitter. He came to the house for a preliminary meet and great, and his communication throughout the entire process was excellent. I had complete confidence that my senior Mastiff and home were well cared for while Nathan was here. I will also say that Nathan goes above and beyond in terms of sitting, so I will be using him again and again. It's nice to know he is available. He's a great asset to Rover and our local community.

About: My daughter Trenna and I grew up with dogs and cats and we love all their different personalities and they bring so much joy to our lives. When you get a dog it’s a commitment. They are our kids. I am looking for a partime job. What a fun opportunity to do something I love. I have three dogs/kids myself. I can’t wait to get home from work and. see their wiggly tails. They don’t care what kind of day you just had, they just want to love on you. When I am home they are wherever I am. During the day they are in their kennels. Two of them are not even 2 yet so they like their toys.

About: I have experience both in professional animal care and pet sitting. I worked at a veterinary clinic as a receptionist and vet assistant, and I’ve also been a pet sitter since I was a teen. Hi! I’m Olivia, and I love caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I live in Rapid City and have experience both in professional animal care and pet sitting. I worked at a veterinary clinic as a receptionist and vet assistant, and I’ve also been a pet sitter since I was a teen. I currently work full-time as a Registered Behavioral Technician and take online college courses, so I’m looking to help with dog walking, drop-ins, or short visits a few hours a week. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and excited to spend quality time with your furry friends while you’re away or busy. I’m happy to provide references from past clients and am comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities! provide personalized care for dogs in their own home to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. During visits, I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, exercise, and any special needs, and I make sure to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and positive interaction. I take the time to observe each dog’s personality and mood so they feel secure in their environment. I also clean up after them, refresh water, and make sure their home stays tidy. My goal is to give both the pets and their owners peace of mind knowing they are well cared for in their familiar surroundings.

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.

Hannah was an amazing Pet Sitter and house Sitter. This was the best experience I’ve had on Rover. Hannah sent me several pictures throughout the day letting me know how my pups were doing. We truly appreciate how well informed she kept us as one of our dogs is very anxious and she seemed to do very well with her. Also, our house was spotless when we returned and an extra bonus was she made us cookies. Amazing! Highly recommend.
