“Mattie had a great visit with my rambunctious little guy. She is timely, very kind, and has good control. Luke very much enjoys her, and he looked for her after she left.”


“Renata and Rhonda were so thoughtful and thorough, taking lots of pictures and leaving detailed recaps which really helped calm my nerves while I was away. They were so easy to work with and really cared about my animals. 10/10”

“Olivia was amazing with our dog and went above and beyond to help care for her when we were out of town. So grateful to have had her help and will definitely book again in the future!”

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.
“Ashley rocks. Not only did she get Stella a lot of miles, she also noticed when Stella was agitated, figured out that her dog door was stuck, and fixed it. 10/10 would recommend.”

About: Growing up I've always had pets of all shapes and sizes. My household was almost like a shelter because we would often take in strays and friends pets they could not longer care for. Neighbors and friends would also ask me to pet sit while they away or check in/walk their animal if they're gone too long. Because of all this I've cared for many cats and dogs of various ages so I understand what kind of care each animal may need. I'm currently going to be doing rover full time so I'll always have availability for your pets. Also I'm almost always around on holidays! At home I have three cats and two dogs (I'm not the only caretaker), and they're all incredibly friendly. Our house is a little small so another location is preferred.
“Braden and Grace did a wonderful job and went above and beyond in taking care of my pup while away I was away for 7 days. Much appreciated and would definitely request them again in the future. :)”


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: Pet care for me started when I was 10 years old and visiting my grandma on a farm - while my sisters played Barbie’s, I played in the dirt and cared for and played with chickens, cows, goats, and all the stray farm cats. I have loved any and all animals ever since! I have never had a moment in my life where there wasn't a dog or a cat in my family and right now we have three amazing (big) dogs! I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine, so I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment as if you were there. I work a full time job but with a lot of flexibility during the day. I would love to drop in and care for your pets while you are away and since I have dogs of my own, I don’t travel on the weekends much 😉 If your pet is staying with me we have a fully fenced in yard, three dogs that they can play with, and two kids who know how lovingly care for animals. If it's not a weekend, I would be able to stop by over the lunch hour to let dogs out and have some play time or might even have afternoons or mornings to work from home. Just depends on the day and I would love to schedule around your stay with us! I am always willing to listen to how you care for your pet(s) and make sure your pet(s) receives the same care and love from me that they would if you were still at home. I want them to feel comfortable, safe, and loved.

About: Hi! I’m Zoe, a reliable and compassionate dog lover with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up around dogs and have always had a natural connection with them—from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I genuinely love being active, so long walks, playtime, and getting outside with your dog are something I look forward to. Whether your pup is big, small, shy, or full of energy, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m also a registered nurse, which means I’m attentive, responsible, and comfortable handling a wide range of needs—including giving medications or caring for older dogs who may need extra support. My background caring for both patients and my own grandparents has shaped me into someone who is patient, observant, and dependable. My schedule is flexible, and I’m committed to providing consistent, loving care while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated so you have peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule as a nurse. On my days off, I have full availability for walks, drop-ins, or extended visits. On workdays, I’m still able to provide consistent care like morning walks/visits, evening check-ins, feeding, and quality time. I’m used to planning my schedule ahead, so I make sure each pet gets reliable, attentive care and isn’t rushed. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions, routines, and preferences to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, medications, and behavior changes. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure during visits and walks. With my nursing background, I’m observant, responsible, and quick to respond if anything seems off, so your pet is always in safe, trustworthy hands.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the years. I have done overnights, check-ins, and dog walking. I have a family dog named Splash who is my whole world, and I have recently moved away and don’t get to see her as often. I work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays, so I can be with your dog all day on those days. Otherwise I work 9-5 on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday to be with them before work, after work, and during lunch. I am also free most weekends. I would prefer to take care of your pet in your home since I have an apartment but if needed they can stay with me.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and love them to death! I enjoy caring for animals or even just keeping them entertained while their humans are away! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I work in healthcare, so I value responsibility, reliability, and keeping a consistent schedule. On my days off and outside of work hours, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks.I’m happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their pet’s routine and needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, or just some extra company, I make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for someone’s pet. I always make sure to follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, comfort level, and any special needs they may have. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I pay close attention during walks, keep pets securely leashed when needed, and make sure doors and gates are always properly closed. I also believe communication is very important, so I am happy to send updates and photos to keep owners informed and give them peace of mind while they are away.

About: I’m an almost empty nester who truly loves animals and am looking to fill my time doing something meaningful. I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide house sitting, dog walking or drop-in visits as needed. I grew up surrounded by animals and have experience caring for cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, and even goats. Because of that background, I’m comfortable with both small and large animals and understand that each one has its own personality and needs. I’m also a former travel club ball mom, so I completely understand how stressful it can be to make arrangements for your pets and home while you’re away. I know how important it is to have someone reliable, communicative, and trustworthy taking care of your home and/or pets. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for in your absence. I can also bring in mail, bring garage to the curb and water plants while you are away. I’m able to offer in-home pet and house sitting or flexible drop-in visits while keeping pets on their normal routines and not left alone for long periods of time. I can care for smaller caged pets in my home but will care for dogs, cats etc in your home because I have pets of my own.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since the age of 10. Family, and friends have trusted me to take care of their dogs for short and long periods of time. I work a part time job while taking college classes at USD. I still find time in my day to play with and care for the animals I’m trusted with. I have a crate for dogs or a comfy bed for them to sleep on. I don’t have a fenced yard but do have a long chain dogs can use on the side of the house.
About: I have been a cat and dog owner most of my adult life. One of our labs, Wrigley, had extreme separation anxiety so I have experience with that behavior and understand how important Rover is to a family going through that. I also took great care of her as she aged and went through sickness. Our newest lab, Charlee has been through Stay and Train. We know the importance of following through on commands when dogs know them. I will learn what you use with your dog and carry through or teach you and they some if you’d like. I have a flexible work schedule during the week which allows me time to drop in and see a pet or to take on a walk. If I’m not camping in the summer, I am able to help on the weekends too! I believe in meeting the owner’s expectations and their pet’s needs. We have a routine for our dog but I will seek what yours is and take care of them how you wish. I will take notes and do what is needed for your pet to be comfortable around me.
About: I’ve had a high maintenance dog since I was 8 years old. I have had 12 years of taking her for runs, playing with her and keeping her healthy and active! I have also always enjoyed going to local shelters to walk dogs! I am currently working part time in Sioux City. I will have a good bit of availability in afternoons and weekends to care for your lovely pups! I will be respectful of your home and your animals, and will follow any and all instructions given. I have been known by friends, family, and employers, to be trustworthy and hardworking!
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life and have been doing pet sitting for friends and family since I can remember. I seem to connect with pets better than a humans :😊 I have never met a pet I don’t love or love me back. Your furry family members will be in her best hands and ger a lot of love and attention when you are away. I work two part time jobs 9-1pm 4-8/9pm 5 days a week sometimes the days vary. I go to the gym 3-5 days a week I hang out with my little sister twice a week when my schedule allows. I am hoping to return to collage next fall for Vet Tech. My days and schedules are pretty flexible. I live down town Sioux Falls in a studio with my cat, kiwi! I have a reliable car and can get to your home wing no worries
About: Hello! I’m Taylor. With me, your dogs will be in great hands. I’ve grown up with dogs big and small for my whole life. I have a passion for dogs young and old, with any personality. The biggest part of spending time and caring for dogs is forming an emotional connection. It’s important for me to be able to make a dog feel comfortable and safe with me. I’ve recently raised a puppy, and fell in love with learning the emotional and physical responses in dogs. Through this, i’ve learned to properly care for and accommodate dogs, and hope to do the same for yours! I am willing to go above and beyond for what your dog needs. I am currently working on my bachelors degree in wildlife biology online through Oregon State University! During the school year I am a bit more busy, but I will always make time for dogs! During the summer, I work a part time job and have plenty of free time to hang out with your pets:) Willing to go above and beyond for whatever is needed at your house! Pet care is apart of my routine every single day. I own a dog and two cats. I absolutely love to spoil them whether that be extra long walks, lots of treats, special outings like hikes, or even just giving them extra pets and cuddles :) In my clients home, I respect any boundaries the client sets for both me and their pets. Making sure pets are well fed, have unlimited access to water, as well as unlimited access to love and fun are my top priorities.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Sioux Falls is $18
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sioux Falls
Did a great job! She paid attention to my dog and her needs. She walked my dog on a fairly hot day and I was worried about her overheating but she kept me reassured and it went great. The second time she was walked she had an ouch fun she didn’t want to stop playing/running around when she got home. Will be rebooking.

Kelsey was AMAZING. She was on time for every walk. At the end of each one I got a report card for where they walked, how far, and a picture of my dog. I came home immediately after one of their walks and my dog was so happy! She was smiling and laying on the cold floor because she had a good workout. 10/10 would book again and again!

Stacey is the best! She is so flexible and reliable. She is also extremely kind and our dog loves her! I would recommend Stacey to anyone looking for a reliable fun active and amazing person! We just moved to Brandon this fall and she has made the transition so much easier. She also always sends us a picture after every walk and is a great communicator.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Sioux Falls on Rover is $18.59 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 323 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sioux Falls. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Sioux Falls. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Sioux Falls.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sioux Falls. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
