About: Hello. My name is Michal. I am an experienced pet owner from Sioux Falls SD. I have a 10 year old cat named Dusk who got me through many a rough time and I have a 3 year old German Shepherd named Ella who keeps me on my toes. I have always loved animals and am always wanting to show them all the love and affection they deserve. I have experience caring for animals of all ages and am able to adapt my approach to match the needs of your fur baby. I have experience giving medications and am willing to work with you to make sure your furry friends are able to thrive. I currently work full time in residential care so I can easily do visits during the work day. I have a fairly flexible schedule so I am willing to work with you to make sure I am able to do the visits you need I am very respectful of your space when I visit. I try to always leave your space as clean or cleaner than I found it so as not to create extra work for you.

About: Animal lover through and through! With a background in animal science and a lifelong passion for animals, I love caring for everything from tiny pups to big farm animals. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds and personalities as well as senior dogs who need a little extra patience and TLC. One of the best parts about caring for animals is getting to know their unique personalities and making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I understand that every pet has different needs, whether that means extra snuggles, slower walks, sticking to their usual routine, or providing gentle care for older pets. I also work from home, which gives me flexibility with my schedule and allows me to be more available for your pet’s needs throughout the day! Whether your furry friend needs extra attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, medication reminders, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to work with their routine as much as possible. My goal is to make sure your pet feels right at home and receives the same love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship! I’m happy to work with your schedule and your pets’ routines to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for your pets in your home, my goal is to keep them comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether that means feeding on a specific schedule, walks, playtime, crate time, medication if needed, or extra cuddles on the couch, I’m happy to follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine. I want your pets to feel safe and at ease in their own home while you’re away, and I’m flexible to meet their individual needs and your preferences.

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I provide dependable, loving care for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to gentle senior companions. I’ve cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors, building trusted relationships through reliability, patience, and attention to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. As a full-time oncology nurse, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and caring looking after your pets. My nursing schedule changes weekly, but during my time off I enjoy helping fellow pet owners by providing loving, reliable care for their dogs. With years of experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and family pets, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. During walks, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and bathroom breaks while always prioritizing safety with secure leashes and awareness of surroundings. For drop-in visits, I provide fresh water, feeding if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection and companionship. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

About: Hi, my name is Ana! I truly believe your pet deserves to be cared for like they are part of the family. I have two dogs of my own, Ziggy and Porky, who love dogs of all sizes and even cats! They are always ready to make a new friend and have some fun. If your pet is older, more independent, or simply isn't interested in playing with other dogs, that's completely okay! Ziggy and Porky are great about giving dogs their space when they need it. I'll make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while still getting the exercise, attention, and activity that's appropriate for them. My goal is for your pet to feel at home, have fun, and receive the same patience and care I would want for my own dogs. My availability: I work 3 12 hour shifts a week I can come let your dog out and/or go for a walk, before work and after. Drop in visits: Walks: any time House sitting: any time Boarding: any time must have dog crate Ziggy, porky, and I frequently go on walks to different parks.

About: I have lots of experience with taking care of both cats and dogs and have been taking care of them for most of my life. I currently am a foster through the humane society and specialize in kittens and dogs. I have lots of experience in all life stages and understand the complexity that comes with each stage. I have a fenced in back yard that is perfect for dogs to play in and work from home which allows me to spend extra time with them. I currently work from home which allows me the flexibility of creating my own schedule. I am able to fit in pet care whenever throughout the week and I am able to plan accordingly around my work. I currently have a fenced in back yard that will allow the dogs to run freely without being on a lead. For my older cat clients I offer a litter box upstairs which would eliminate them from going up and down stairs as frequently. I also take my safety seriously and when walking dogs always have my cell phone readily available as well as leashed walks always.

“Zoey is great! She was communicative and sent great pictures, in fact one of my new favorite pictures of Pete came from Zoey! I felt like he was in great hands during my time away.”

Addie A.

“She did amazing with my two cats! One of my cats usually doesn't come out until he's known them for awhile, he came out the first time she was here! I would 100% use her again!”

About: I have been lucky enough to be surrounded by animals my entire life. I have experience training therapy dogs, rescue dogs, leash training, and teaching tricks/commands. A strength of mine is I am an avid long distance runner/hiker. So if you have a high energy pet that needs those longer walks I’m happy to oblige! I believe every animal has a unique personality and set of needs. I would love to get to know your furry friend and their preferences! I am an ASL Interpreter for the Sioux Falls School District! My work hours are 8:00-4:00 M-F. Besides that I am available for your pet care needs! I believe pets need a clean and safe environment to thrive. They need plenty of socialization, enrichment and attention. I also value open and honest communication. I’m happy to provide pictures, updates/progress reports about how your furry friend is doing!

About: I have had dogs my entire adult life, up to 7 at one time, including a husky. I now only have 1, since I had to move and left the rest with my old roommate (some were his anyway, and I took the one that had chosen me as his human). Every dog I've ever had was properly trained to at least sit on command - with or without a treat. When I had the 7, I could have the pack surround me, and call them one by one for their treat, and only the one called would reach. People have watched my dog's behavior out in public and have aske if I could train their dogs! I have no formal training for dog training, but I did grow up watching Caesar on Animal Planet, and implemented his behavior training techniques with all of my own dogs when they were puppies, or from the time I accepted them in as strays. I have cared for others pets in the past, but not in a professional capacity. I sat for a friend of mine at her house, caring for 3 dogs and a cat. I fed the cat in the morning and at night and cleaned her litter box once a day. The dogs got fed on the same schedule, and spent the majority of the day outside in the fenced back yard unless it was raining. I went outside and threw balls and sticks for them a few times each day, for about an hour or so each time. I currently do not have a job, so I am available full time, any day or time. I have my own dog who prefers to not let me out of his sight, and will cry if I leave him at home alone, so getting a traditional job while living in an apartment is out of the question. With that said, I would need to bring him with me. He is going on 10 years old, and has never met a dog or person he didn't love. I am glad to bring him for a meet and greet before any commitments are made. Every dog has a way to let you know they need something. My dog prefers to attempt cuddles when he needs anything, leaving me playing a guessing game until I get it right. He gets super excited when I get it right! As a senior dog, I leave his food out 24/7, and check it in the mornings when I get up and at night when I go to bed to make sure it's not empty. If I notice that it's empty at any point during the day, I simply refill it. Same with his water. His potty schedule is pretty much the same - first thing in the morning, any time he asks during the day, and then one last trip out at bedtime. I know not every dog can follow this schedule, but I have also had dogs who needed me to set alarms to take them out every hour or two, until they were properly house trained. All I need from you is your dogs schedule.

“Jaden did a wonderful job ensuring we were updated and she was very kind and thoughtful making sure Witten was at ease and happy! We appreciate the wonderful care provided.”
