Dog Sitting Sioux Falls

“She did great with our two dogs! Very friendly and responsive.”

Amanda J.

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.

About: Hi, I'm Lori! I have been involved in animal rescue & pet sitting for many years. I've always had pets of my own as far back as I can remember. From simple potty breaks to giving medication, I have experience with just about anything. Senior pets are my weakness, but I'm not picky- I've even sat for a pig! Trusting your pet's care to a stranger can be worrisome, I know from experience. My goal is to provide the care I'd want for my own animals. ❤️ My schedule is flexible! Advance notice is preferred, but I can usually help if something comes up on short notice! Feel free to shoot me a message! My goal has always been to keep my client's pets' routines as normal as possible. Rescue work exposed me to animals with many different needs and personalities; giving me invaluable experience. I will care for your pet and home like it's my own.

About: I have been a nanny and dog sitter for 8+ years. I have experience with all sizes and ages of pets. I enjoy taking care and spending time with animals. I love getting to know their personalities. I am a freelance artist, my current schedule is pretty flexible. I open currently to new clients that are looking for drop in visits or walks. Since I have pets of my own, I am only open to walking and watching pets in their own home. I enjoy understanding animals and how to make them comfortable.

“Miss Madison is amazing! She took such great care of both my babies. She boarded my senior dog and did drop in visits on my cat. Madison also has a senior dog so it was nice for him to have a companion he could keep up with! She sent lots of pictures and updates during my trip that gave me the warm and fuzzies that my animals were in great care. I plan to book with her again soon! Thank you again Miss Madison!”

“Josie was a absolute help during our trip out of town. This is first time using this app in years and was a bit apprehensive ,but Josie demonstrated a strong line of communication and our family started to feel better about choosing her. Ultimately her punctuality, attention to detail and ability to follow instructions as requested easily relinquished our concerns of trusting a stranger with our fur babies. We received photos during the visit and watched through our cameras,both Potata and núðla were having a blast like they and Josie have been long forgotten separated friends . We are confident if you have any apprehension about your choice of animal care. You won't be dissatisfied with Josie's service .”

About: I can’t get any more dogs right now, but I absolutely love animals. I grew up on a farm, so I’ve always been surrounded by them, and I really miss having that in my life. I currently have two small dogs who are very friendly and love playing with other dogs, and I have a big backyard for them to run around in. I just miss the companionship and joy that comes with being around animals every day. I work full-time, so my schedule is fairly consistent. I leave for work at 6:00 a.m., have a one-hour lunch break at noon, and I’m usually home by 4:00 p.m. Outside of work, I spend my time with my two small dogs, who are very friendly and love being around other dogs. I also have a large backyard where they can run and play. Even with my work schedule, I have plenty of time in the evenings and on weekends to care for and enjoy being around animals. I’d be happy to walk your dog if they enjoy going on walks, take them to the dog park for some exercise and socialization, play with them indoors or outside, and, of course, give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for, even when they’re missing their owner(s).

About: I've had a love for dogs and all animals since I was very young and would love the opportunity to meet your pets and spend time with them! I'm currently working part time and can be available every day of the week and weekend, so no matter when you need help I'll be ready to assist with your furry family members! I keep pets on their normal routine, having safety come first, and sending photos/updates so you never have to wonder how things are going. For house sitting and drop-ins, I follow the instructions given closely and treat your home with like I would my own. On walks, I'm attentive to leash handling, weather, and each dog's mood. For day care, I keep a close eye on playtime so everyone's safe and having fun!

About: Hello there! I’m an experienced cat and dog owner. I currently have four cats at home so any dogs I would care for in my home would have to be cat friendly. I don’t have any dogs in my home; however, my parents have two dogs, a Husky and terrier mix, who I see often and help care for when needed. I’m experienced with high energy dogs and dogs that aren’t so friendly with others. When I am out in public or going for walks, I take care to ensure the dogs have enough personal space to feel safe any comfortable. I have experience and knowledge in caring for puppies. I am very experienced in caring for cats, including higher needs and elderly cats. I have experience in giving medications, G-tube feedings and insulin injections. I am available during the week early mornings, my lunch break is flexible but usually from 12:30-1:30PM, and I get home from work around 5:30PM in the evenings. On weekends I am available early morning until 9PM. There are times I am able to work remotely from home. Any other questions please ask! Every morning when I wake up (6-7AM), the first thing I do is feed the cats. Then if I have dogs over, we go for a 10-15 minute walk. When I get home from work, I feed the cats first thing and scoop their box. I usually take the dogs for 2 longer walks in the evenings, depending on how hot it is. I go to bed at 9:45PM and will take the dogs out for one last potty before sleep. I have a fenced in yard. All of my cats are used to being around dogs and are not aggressive towards dogs at all. I love spending time with animals of all kinds, cuddling brushing them playing with toys things like that. For cats, I can definitely scoop the litter box up to twice a day. Any questions don’t hesitate to ask!

“Wonderful communication. Absolutely love having her watch Boomer. Boomer is happy when she comes and we feel so comfortable leaving knowing she will be taking care of him.”

About: I offer a level of professional expertise that sets me apart from standard pet sitters: Veterinary Assistant Experience: Active clinical experience managing medical needs and safely administering all forms of medication. 4+ Years of Professional Daycare Care: Expert in canine body language, pack dynamics, and high-energy socialization. Lifetime Caregiver: Lifelong pet owner dedicated to treating your animal like family.From senior dogs requiring strict medical schedules to young, high-energy pups, your pet's safety and well-being are backed by professional, hands-on clinical experience. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because my mornings, evenings, and weekends are highly flexible. Right now, I work full-time but have completely open nights for house sitting and evening check-ins. When my college semester begins, my only busy window is from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM on weekdays, leaving my mornings and afternoons completely free for your pets. On weekends, even when working, my schedule allows me ample time to drop in during the morning, mid-day, and night. Because your pet's routine is my priority, I easily plan my day around their specific feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is maintaining their exact routine while providing hospital-grade safety and observation. For house sitting, I treat your home with total respect and keep your pet stress-free in their familiar environment. For drop-ins and walks, I focus on heavy engagement, proper leash handling, and structured enrichment. Because of my veterinary assistant training, my care includes a thorough daily health assessment: I double-check hydration, monitor appetite, track bathroom habits, and safely administer any required medications exactly on time. I also utilize low-stress handling techniques to ensure anxious or shy pets feel safe and comfortable with me.

About: I have cared for dogs and other pets of various breeds since I was 8 years old, working with animals at all life stages—from puppy training to senior care. My 10 years of experience spans everything from handling large breeds to small Shih Tzus, as well as providing services such as dog walking and pet sitting." I am available on weekday evenings to care for your dog if you ever need some time off. I am also available all throughout the weekend to assist as needed. I have experience giving care for a dog in someone else's home. I will play with them in the space provided and ensure an environment in which they feel safe and comfortable

About: I've grown up basically my whole life taking care of family dogs and hanging out with neighbors and friends dogs. About 3 years ago I finally got my own dog, Mowgli, and we both love meeting new furry friends! We love going for long walks, playing catch and cooking together. I work full time but have a flex schedule, so when I don't have meetings scheduled at the office I work from home. If I am working at the office I always take the dogs on long walks in the morning and then come home during lunch to go for a quick walk and then another long walk after work. However, when dog sitting I tend to work from home during those days :) I tend to leave the water bowl always full for the dogs whenever they feel thirsty and then have a schedule of feeding them 3 times a day (with a couple treats here and there). I love just chilling with the dogs - especially outside when the weather is nice to get some vitamin D. Again, absolutely LOVE going on walks so there will be plenty of those :)

About: Having two dogs, ages nine and five, has truly shaped my life and deepened my love for animals. Each of them has their own unique personality-one calm and wise with age, the other full of energy and curiosity-and together they keep me constantly on my toes. Whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, or just sharing quiet moments at home, they bring endless joy, laughter, and comfort to my days. Caring for them has taught me patience, responsibility, and the pure happiness that comes from unconditional love. They are both well trained and know and love so any tricks. Throughout the years I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of friends, family and neighbors. Doing all sorts of thing to walking, feeding, taking medication, or even just being at their home. Life with them can be busy, but I wouldn't want it any other way! I'm a hairstylist currently building up my clientele, which means my schedule is still pretty flexible throughout the day. Because of that, I have plenty of time between appointments to take on something I love, spending time with dogs! That's why applying to Rover is such a great fit for me. It allows me to fill those open parts of my day by helping pet owners who need someone reliable to stop by and let their pups outside, give them some attention, and make sure they're happy while their owners are away. It's a perfect balance between growing my salon business and doing something rewarding with my extra time. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. In my home, I make sure pets have a comfortable place to rest, fresh water, regular meals, and plenty of playtime and cuddles. Safety is my top priority, so l keep a close eye on them and make sure the environment is pet-friendly. When I'm in a client's home, I always respect their routines and space. I stick to the pet's usual schedule so they feel comfortable, and I give regular updates and photos to the owner. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, safe and cared for just like they would with their own family there.

About: I have experience dealing with dogs with special needs and dogs of all ages. I am also reliable, communicate well, and have a genuine love for dogs! I currently work part time so I have both time before and after work to be able to walk your dog. I have very flexible time. Whether at my place or yours, pets get lots of love and attention! I make sure they're comfy, safe, and sticking to their regular routines.

About: I work (not Rover) Thursdays through Mondays, 10am until 4pm. I also work Tuesdays 4-8pm, and every other Thursday from 6:30-10pm. I have a social call with friends Wednesdays 6-7pm. Aside from that, I'm happy to spend time with your darlings! In the morning, I tend to my dogs' physical and mental well being by daily walks and obedience tricks, as well as daily games. I go to work and I assume they sleep. I come home and let them outside for their bathroom break, and I feed them, then snuggle them and play with them at night. Pretty average care. I make sure my dogs are fed, watered, exercised, and trained every day. I like training and exercising in the morning to keep their energy under control while I work during the day. I crate my dogs when no one watches them to provide them with a den to sleep in. When I come home for the day, they are let out and relieved, allowed to play, and so on. I snuggle and talk to them at night. If someone trusts me enough to watch their animals, I would tend to their animals any way I expect someone to tend to mine: with knowledge and care.

About: I've provided pet services and pet/house sitting for a small group of people I've known and been referred to. I've been wanting to expand my clientele, as I have a lot to offer. Although I consider it to be a small side gig, I like to refer to my business affectionately as "No Place Like Home". I have 20 plus years experience, including managing a dog day care for two years. It also includes working with special needs, administering medication orally and through injections. I have references as well as my own personal experience with my cat. I am energetic and can keep up with even the most active dogs. They are my passion. Not only that, pet sitting in your house creates a calmer and safer environment for your pets, as well as keeping your home safe and occupied. I am semi retired. I have a lot of time to spend with your pets in your home ensuring several potty breaks, play and exercise. I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I follow instructions left by the owner and will ensure play and exercise
