“Lis is a fantastic sitter. She went above and beyond by staying overnight to keep our dogs company. She is a great communicator and provided regular photo updates throughout the stay. Reliable, kind, and highly recommended. We’ve already decided she’s our go-to sitter for the future!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing! She responded so fast and got us in for house sitting a few days before a holiday weekend. One of my dogs is usually nervous around new people, but she was immediately comfortable when meeting Jessica, I knew right away she was a great fit! I’ve never left my dogs with someone I didn’t know, but I didn’t worry at all. She sent me multiple daily pictures and even a video, which just put me at ease and knew they were happy! Will definitely book Jessica again!!”
“Cynthia was excellent! She took great care of Millie, who is blind and diabetic, for a week while I was away. She sent me pictures and daily updates. Everything was perfect! Definitely going to be my go-to when I need someone to care for my fur baby just like I would!!”
“We really appreciated having Ann as a dog and house sitter. She had a wonderful rapport with our dog. She communicated daily with texts and pictures so that we felt connected and assured of our dogs care. I highly recommend Ann!”
“Brittany did a wonderful job watching our two cats. We have a cat who gets anxious when we leave and tends to pee on furniture or clothes if we are gone more than a day or two. We were gone for five days and there were no such incidents thanks to Brittany’s attentive care. Our animals seemed happy and content as if we hadn’t left at all, and it was such a relief to come home to relaxed animals in a clean home. 10/10, thank you Brittany!”
“Mattie did a great job watching our 2 dogs. The temperatures were in the upper 90’s-102 degrees while we were gone. She was sure to keep them in and out of the heat but letting them out when needed. I would have her watch our dogs again.”
“Zach was great! Our dogs immediately took to him when he came over for the meet and greet. Our dogs were loved the entire time and he sent update pics as well. We will rebook with him in the future.”
“We seriously could not have asked for a sweeter sitter to watch our 5 dogs. Our dogs adored Zuri!!! She sent photo updates, kept our house clean, and she was really great with communication. We hope she is available every time we have to be out of town!! She’s also a great artist and left us this beautiful painting of our new home with our pups 🥹 thank you Zuri!!!!❤️”
“Very happy with how she took care of our dogs! Very good at communicating with us throughout the entire time, and the dogs seemed to really enjoy having her around. Was respectful of our house and cleaned up after the dogs too!”
“Kelsey has been walking my boys but she just stayed with them for a weekend. The photos I got for the stay were so nice to see. So happy my boys were well taken care of.”
“Josie did a great job taking care of our dogs - We loved the pictures! They got a lot of playtime and love from Josie! :) Would definitely recommend Josie and her family for your pet care needs!! We will definitely use her again.”
“Justin is amazing! We came in from out of town and he helped us with relatively short notice. He’s genuinely one of the nicest and most thoughtful sitters we’ve ever had. Our pup loved him.”
About: I have taken care of and owned dogs my whole life. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and potty their pets! I also volunteer at the local Sioux Falls humane society walking shelter pups! I would love to take care of yours too :) I am currently a Registered Nurse at Sanford Hospital. Although I work 12 hour shifts when I work, it gives me more days off in the week to be able to take care of your pets! In your home I will follow your specific care instructions to ensure your pet feels as normal as possible with your absence. I will play and walk with your pup to burn some energy. I will feed them when instructed and let them out to go to the bathroom every few hours or when needed. Most importantly, I will love your pet as my own and give them a lot of snuggles and pets!
About: I had dogs and cats my entire life. From adoption and rescue, I have spent my entire life around pets. I started dog sitting for friend and family before I could even drive, sometimes taking care of 4 dogs and cats for multiple nights. I am currently working part time at my college. Working in the day so I have time to play with your pups in the afternoon. On weekends I hang out with friends when I have plans, but other than that I am open. When I am at your home, I will follow your rules for your pets, whatever they may be. I can crate them if you need, work on training, take them for walks, and give them lots and lots of pets so they know they are loved.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sioux Falls
Braden and Grace were fantastic! One of our dogs was on antibiotics and they had no problem giving him his pills. They sent us pics daily and were communicative without being overly so. I never worried about our dogs or our house for a second. Our dogs were super happy the whole time we were gone. They made everything super stress free!
Brittany did an excellent job taking care of our older German Shepherd. Our dog, who has bad hips, managed to fall into a window well. Brittany was able to get this large dog out of the window well despite the size of the dog and the fact that she hadn’t been with her very long. Bravo to her! We look forward to using Brittany again in the future.
Lillian did an amazing job not only with our 2 dogs also our tiny bird (GCC). She took the dogs on walks, entertained the bird and kept everyone safe during the tornado sirens. Sitting for a bird is a WHOLE different world, and she rocked it! She kept to feeding and bed schedules and routines like a champ! We are very grateful and will book again!
Stephanie did an amazing job watching my two cats while I was away on vacation! She was incredibly attentive, had excellent communication, and sent so many cute pictures and videos to keep me updated. She left my apartment in amazing condition, it was such a relief to come home to a clean place. My cats absolutely loved her, and I could tell they were completely at ease with her. I would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring companion for their fur babies while they’re away!
Jade was awesome with our puggles, one of which is quite anxious and the other who is very elderly. She made sure they were safe and loved. She also treated our home with respect and made sure it stayed tidy. We appreciated being able to get away and be assured everything was in good hands at home. Thanks Jade!
To say I was impressed is an understatement. The dogs were very well cared for, our mail was neatly piled up, sheets were washed and laundry started. We got photos and updates of our pets daily and she responded within minutes of messaging her. If ten stars was an option, I’d give her 10 stars! Thank you, Kadence.

FAQs for House Sitting - Sioux Falls
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sioux Falls on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 181 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sioux Falls. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Sioux Falls walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Sioux Falls maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sioux Falls choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
