About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a kid and formally pet sitting off and on for 20 years. I am experienced administering medication and providing special meals for pets with dietary restrictions. I’m currently pet sitting full time so I have time for walks, breakfast or lunch visits and overnight stays. Sorry but at this time I’m not able too board at my home at this time. For every meet & greet we will go over your pet’s needs in detail to ensure they have a comfortable time in your absence. We will cover food, walks, favorite toys, sleeping habits and more!

“Emma did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. He’s usually scared and anxious with strangers but he warmed up quickly with Emma. She sent us pictures and updated us throughout the day.”


“This was my first time having somebody else take care of my dogs and home while I was gone and I couldn’t be happier. Everything was just how I left it (or better) when we got home, and my dogs absolutely adore her.”


“Bernie, in his older age, has a hard time connecting to people, so it is so hard to leave him. Marie Pierre figured out his needs, and was able to truly connect with Bernie, and as I received daily reports, I was thrilled to know he was hanging out with her, and not just sleeping in his bed, as that is what he will do if he is not a fan of someone. Marie Pierre made sure to communicate and check-in daily, and I know Bernie was totally comfortable in her care.”


“Daisy is excellent and extremely loving and attentive. She took such good in home care of our dogs with regular updates and pictures. She was very responsible and respectful of our home and we will definitely be using her again. Our pups love Daisy!”


“Andrew was absolutely wonderful. Attentive, understanding and respectful. He made me feel at ease leaving our pups in his care. I'm not super trusting when leaving them in the care of others, but he followed my instructions and listened to any concerns that I had. He was great! We are hoping he is available in the future to continue to care for our pups! Thanks, Andrew!”


About: I just moved to SD from Florida where I had a 15 acre farm. I have years of experience with livestock, dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds. I fostered senior dogs and cats/dogs with severe health concerns. I also have experience whelping puppies. I am currently working and available before and after work 8-4:30 on weekdays. I can board in your home and available all hours on weekends. I provide the utmost care for your animal(s). I want to try my best to eliminate stress while you are away. I also love to provide daily text updates with photos to ease any worry. If that is something you wish!

About: Since I was 5 years old I have known the love and joy animals and pets bring to people and especially to me! I have had the most experience with puppies and dogs my whole life, I have just recently become a new cat mom and we have an unbreakable bond now! I am more than happy and excited to show all the love to your fur babies as well! 🐶🐱💝 I am currently taking 3 summer classes and it is completely online so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies during the week and weekends! I always make sure pets feel safe and loved in their own environment. I’ll respect your home, follow all instructions closely, and keep things calm and clean. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just giving extra cuddles, your pet’s comfort and safety come first. I’ll also send regular updates and photos to keep you at ease!

About: I have two cats, Mochi and Princess, and two dogs—Missy, a French Bulldog, and Yoka, an English Bulldog. I've been working as a surgical assistant at a veterinary hospital for nearly four years. In my role, I monitor patients under anesthesia and support them through the recovery process. I’m also experienced in administering medication to both cats and dogs. Animals are truly my passion, and I’m deeply committed to providing the highest level of care to every animal I encounter. I’m always here for all pet parents and committed to giving every fur baby the care, love, and attention they truly deserve. What you need i am here. My yard is fully fenced and divided into two safe turf-covered areas—perfect for playtime! Whether your pet needs help with crate training or just wants a cozy spot in bed, I’m happy to make them feel right at home.

“Jasmine is AWESOME! We have used her to house and doggo sit for our Stella 3 times now. Our Stella loves her, and we will certainly be using her again when we need a sitter, if possible!”


About: 💖 I care for every dog like they’re my own. 🧘🏻♀️ I adjust to their pace and personality. 📸 I always send photos and updates. 🏠 If I care for them at home, they feel like family. 🌟 I do it with real love — not just for the money. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make time for it in my routine. I keep my schedule flexible to give each pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s a daily walk, playtime, or overnight care, I plan my week around their needs to make sure they feel loved and safe. Whether I’m caring for a dog in my home or in the client’s home, I focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. At my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly space where they can relax, play, and follow their usual routine. At the client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, walking times, playtime, and any special needs. I make sure every pet gets personalized care, attention, and lots of love.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life! For the past 12 years I have helped local families with sitting, boarding, walking, and general care of their pets. I would love to help in any way I can! I have free time in the morning, evenings, and weekends to care for pets! For boarding, pets will be safely kept in my home and I am able to come home during the day to provide them mid day walk. Daily walks and playing would be provided with each pet! I have two friendly pets that love making new friends. I have enough space in my house to keep them separated when I am gone and provide them each with their own space to relax.

About: Ive been taking care of pets all of my life. From cats to dogs, guinea pigs, iguanas, birds and fish! No animal is too big or too small! Experienced in bottle feeding, administering medication, and training. Every pet deserves to feel like they're on vacation too and there will be no lack of love and care as this is less of a job and more of a passion for me. I have a very flexible schedule as I work three to four days a week from 9 pm to 2 am. I have a lot of time for walks and daily activities! I live in a townhome with a park less than 20 feet away if boarding is needed. Safety and care is my number one priority.

“This was my first time with Monae and she was so wonderful! She was quick to respond to the request and very communicative throughout the week. She sent lots of photos and took awesome care of our girl. She gave her lots of love and went on a lot of walks. I will absolutely request Monae again for future needs and I highly recommend hiring Monae to take care of your pet!”


“Kimberly watched Simone for a week at our house. Simone is a special needs dog who requires expressing and Kimberly met with us to learn the process and she was very patient with Simone. My wife and I were very pleased with Kimberly, she was responsive, provided pictures, and spent a lot of time with Simone. When we got back, Simone was very happy and also fairly relaxed which is a big deal for her. Also, the house looked better when we got home than when we left. Overall very pleased with Kimberly and will use her in the future.”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of reliability, experience, and genuine love for animals—paired with a calm, patient approach that pets respond to. I don’t just watch pets; I build trust with them. Whether it's helping a nervous pup feel safe, administering medications to a senior dog, or maintaining consistent routines for multi-pet households, I treat each animal as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and make time for. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or evening check-ins, I prioritize consistency and reliability for every pet I care for. I build my schedule around the needs of each animal, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or at a client’s, my priority is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment that mirrors their routine and reduces stress. In My Home: I provide a calm, pet-friendly space where animals can feel at ease. I follow their feeding, walking, and sleeping routines closely, offer supervised playtime, and ensure they’re never left alone for long periods. I also separate pets when needed for safety and comfort, and I keep a clean, secure environment with pet-proofed areas. In the Client’s Home: I treat the space with respect and care while maintaining the pet’s familiar environment. I stick to their established schedule, including meals, walks, medication, and playtime. I also send regular updates, photos, and notes so pet parents feel connected and confident while they’re away. No matter the setting, I prioritize safety, communication, and individualized care so each pet feels loved and well cared for.

“Cannot recommend Nallely enough! She took great care of my two dogs and was even able to get my extremely shy and timid dog outside. Will be using her again!”


About: My love for animals is strong I always treat them like they’re my children 🥰 my main priority is their safety nothing less :) . My schedule is pretty flexible which leaves me plenty of time to help care for animals. Messaging before hand helps me map out a schedule I personally do not do pet care at my home because I have two pets at home and there is also children. Sorry for that

“Silvia watched my dog Simone for 8 days. Simone is special needs and is pretty scared of the world and Sylvia did a fantastic job watching her. Simone was happy and calm when we got home and it was clear she spent a lot of time with her making her more comfortable. Thank you Silvia and I look forward to having you watch Simone again in the future. Definitely will have you watch Simone in the future!”


About: I’ve grown up surrounded by many animals. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats that I help care for. I used to work at PetSmart where I helped care for the store pets, as well as, helping pet parents. I also did volunteer work for a couple years at a dog shelter where I used to feed them, walk them, take them to a dog park to play with them, bathe them, and clean up after them. One of my dogs got pregnant 2 years ago and I help deliver her puppies and took care of all 5 puppies for months before they were old enough and found loving homes for them. I currently work at the mall. I am an assistant manager at Spencer’s. I am more than available to stop by for drop in visits before and after work. I am also available to do home visits and stay at the home at the times that I am not working. My typical pet care routine is feeding my cat around 9am, I feed our 3 dogs that we have in our backyard whom have a lot of free space to fun around and play, then I occasionally feed my sisters’ cats if they need the help. On my days off my cat typically likes to hang around me and just sleep most of the day, but on the days that I work I will feed her dinner around 7pm.
