“Caroline and Alena are fantastic - great communicators, they sent pics and videos, and they seemed to truly enjoy my pup, which just felt good. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and I highly recommend them! My gratitude to you both!”


“Jessica was very friendly kept me updated about my dog the entire time my dog was there ! Really nice of her to take my dog on a short notice ! I would recommend her and will be using her once back in Rapid City”


“We left our two dogs with Brooke for the first time over the Christmas holiday. We were a little anxious, as this is a private home versus a professional boarding facility, which is what we used back in our previous state of residence. It took our dogs several days to adapt, and our female dog had some anxiety and separation issues, but Brooke kept us posted with texts, pictures and videos. She was able to give “Millie” the extra time and attention she needed and kept her indoors where she felt more comfortable. It is obvious that Brooke is dedicated to the dogs she cares for and to the families who love them.”


“Hector and Sofia have now welcomed and cared for my 2-year-old dog, Wilson, three times this year. Most recently, they stepped in on very short notice for a last-minute trip I had to Baltimore, and I can’t express how grateful I am for their hospitality and flexibility. I know Wilson is always in good hands with them – they treat him with such love and care. I highly recommend Hector and Sofia to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters. Thank you both again for everything!”


“Mark was great about corresponding back in a very timely matter. He sent pics and updates on our boys. He was also very accommodating when we had last minute schedule changes. My pups were excited to see me but gave him enthusiastic hugs goodbye which lets me know they were well taken care of while we were away.”


“Talon was fantastic to work with! She gave updates, sent pictures, and was overall so sweet to my pup. I would highly recommend her and will be boarding with her again!!”


“Belinda took wonderful care of Ruby! She sent lots of great updates throughout her stay and took Ruby on fun outings! Ruby was in heaven! We look forward to having Ruby stay with Belinda again!”


“Melissa was amazing, and I'm thrilled we found her to watch our dog. She was incredibly easy to work with, she was a great communicator, and mostly importantly she took fantastic care of our dog. I will not hesitate to connect with her again next time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommended!”


“Gianna was wonderful with our dog Emmet! She watched him for three nights and was fantastic about communicating—she sent regular updates, photos, and videos, which really put our minds at ease. Emmet seemed to have a great time exploring, playing, and even going on hikes! While there’s no fenced yard, Gianna has plenty of space for dogs to run and play, and she kept a close eye on him—using a tie-out when needed to keep him safe. We’d absolutely trust her with Emmet again. Highly recommend!”


“Brittany was AWESOME with our special needs (acute separation anxiety) Schnauzer mix named Cooper!! She was able to take him with her to work and gave him meds when he go anxious. She also sent photo updates during his stay to let us know how he was doing. I highly recommend Brittany and we will definitely be using her again in the future!!”


“Jenae took great care of my 11-month old goldendoodle for four days. She kept me updated with texts and photos and always replied quickly to my messages. I’d absolutely use her services again!”


“Marshall is by far the best Petsitter we've ever worked with from the Rover app. Our dog had so much fun playing with his dog and Marshall sent some great pictures and has excellent communication. If you're looking for the best pet sitter on Rover and the Rapid City area, definitely go with marshall. We're so lucky to have found him and look forward to our dog buddy staying at Marshall's house in the future.”


About: I have had several different types of animals in my life since I was born, and my Dad is a professional Dog trainer,so I am comfortable with a variety of different dogs, cats, and dispositions! I'm currently working part-time from home so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I love to walk so taking your Dog on a walk during their stay is easy! In my home, pets are treated like family. I make sure the space is safe, clean, and calm, with plenty of cozy spots for naps and supervised playtime. I never leave pets unattended and in unsafe situations and never have pets from multiple families at the same time. I follow any routines or rules you provide so your pet feels comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine. I keep doors and gates secure, clean up after play or feeding, and make sure they always have fresh water, food, and attention. My goal is to create a stress-free, loving environment—whether at your home or mine—so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.


“Tammara was a great choice for taking care of my German shepherd while I was on vacation. She provided a friendly environment to interact with other dogs as well as a safe place to roam to stay physically actively. Very highly recommend.”


“My puppy had an excellent time staying with Linda and her exceptional facilities. Communication was great and the pictures I received helped give me peace of mind while away. I will be sure to reach out to Linda again in the future! 10/10”


About: Besides working in the veterinary field as a certified veterinary assistant, I’ve had dogs and cats since I started walking back home in Puerto Rico. I was always rescuing all kinds of critters in the streets and finding them new homes. Big animals, small animals, shy animals, hyper animals, you name it! I've assisted anywhere from births to surgery, administered medications, vitals etc. Your furry friends are in good hands with me. I live on a ranch, so they’ll have plenty of space to run and play around while I also love taking them with me to explore the Black Hills trails. I’m currently dedicating my time to farm life while I wait for school to start in the fall, so I have all my time available to dedicate myself to your furry friends. I have a big farm of 18 acres with plenty of space to exercise your pups, also have enclosed areas available to offer them a safe and comfortable environment during their stay. But like I mentioned, I have all my time available so your furry friends will receive all my attention all day ❤️ It’s the perfect environment to keep them happy and stimulated while you’re gone. -Will do walks/hikes -Provide pictures/videos -Plenty of kisses & cuddles -Beeping color available if requested

“Reece was very communicative throughout the day, with updates on my pups. I asked her to keep my girls last minute, and she was able to take them in for the day. I’d recommend her and will definitely utilize her services again!”

Rapid Valley dog parents share their Rover experiences
Hector was diligent to take care of the parents as well as the fur baby Bear settled in and loved Hector's attention. We were concerned he wouldn't want to go home! We were able to engage Hector at the last minute as we were vacationing and the weather changed on us so we couldn't leave Bear in the car at all. We greatly appreciate Hector's availability and willingness to take care of us at the last minute.
