“We needed a place for Louie to stay for a few days while we were out of town and they went above and beyond for our guy! Banana was a great buddy and Caroline and Alena helped Louie feel right at home!! Loved all the photo and video updates, would highly recommend their family!!”
“Seriously goes above and beyond. I was worried about booking a place outside of Rapid just for easy drop off/pick up but she made it easy for us meeting us near the interstate. My dog had the time of her life running on several acres, jumping in the pond and playing with their dogs. It’s a dog’s dream.”
“Linda is absolutely amazing! It’s always tough leaving your dog behind, but she made it so easy and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She is super reliable and treated him like family—honestly, I think our pup was a little sad to come home because he was spoiled with so much love and attention! It is such a relief finding a sitter you can completely trust. Highly recommend her, 5 stars!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, cows, and horses. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for animals of different ages, sizes, and needs. Whether it’s keeping a puppy entertained, giving a senior pet extra patience and attention, or simply providing companionship, walks, playtime, and lots of love, I treat every pet like they’re my own. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I have with animals and the care I put into making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and attention based on your pet’s individual needs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and rest. I’m respectful of each client’s home and will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pets are receiving plenty of attention and care while you’re away.
“Susan was AMAZING! I can't thank you enough! She took care of my dog probably better than I do! My dog has had horrible experiences before and very high anxiety so I am always very concerned about leaving her. Susan was very patient with her, and by the end of the second day, Bella was off leash and exploring to her heart's content. I received at least 2 pictures and videos each day which really helped me having to leave her for so long. They both had a blast and I know they will miss each other. I wish she could dog sit my puppy where ever we are! (We travel fulltime in our RV and we had a family emergency we had to fly home for.) Thank you so much again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Rockerville home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Rockerville.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Rockerville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in SD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
