“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.”
“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.”
“We can't say enough for Jessica and the attentive care provided to our dogs. Just two hours before we were to get on a plane, our elderly dog displayed some strange symptoms. We thought we might have to head to the emergency vet and delay our trip. We talked to the vet and to Jessica, and had an immediate sense of ease that even if the symptoms continued or progressed, she could and would handle it. Thankfully the symptoms went away. Jessica kept us updated and showed as much care to the concerned parents as to our pups. We are grateful for her!”
“Lori was wonderful as usual. She kept me updated, respected my home, and cared for my three pets wonderfully. I can tell my aloof older cat is getting more comfortable with Lori, my middle cat enjoys the Lori cuddles, and my dog gets spoiled with walks, cuddles and trips to the dog park.”
“Lis is truly the best! We’ve booked with her three times now, and she has become our go-to sitter. You can tell how much she genuinely cares for animals, and our fur babies are always thrilled to see her. She is reliable, attentive, and keeps us updated so we never have to worry. We’ll definitely continue booking with her in the future!”
“Emma was amazing with our dogs as we had a shorter notice trip out of town! We originally were only going to have her watch one of them, but after a change of plans she took on our second girl with no issues. She was great with communication and was always prompt with responses, and sent lots of photos each day along with how they were doing. She respected our home & left it as clean as when we left! One of our pups has a history with some medical issues so we were nervous to leave him with a sitter, but after this weekend we have no regrets and will continue to use Emma’s services in the future and we know she will keep our puppies happy and healthy!”
“Ana was AMAZING!! So quick to respond and was amazing with our dogs! Being flexible with our fussy babies. Can’t wait to reach out to her next time we need someone to watch our dogs.”
“Cindy did a great job caring for my three pets and my home. My dog Layla loves her outside time and got plenty of it. My cats are aloof and do things on their own terms. Cindy let them get comfortable with her at their own pace. I got daily updates and pictures.”
“Zach was an amazing sitter for my pups. They are precious and I expect them to be taken care of with full attention of them. Zach went above and beyond. He was timely in responding if I had a question. He took excellent care of them and checked in often with updates and pics to show me they were happy and content. I will be using Zach whenever I need to go out of town. I would recommend and trust him to all pet owners. Thank you Zach.”
“Magdalen did a great job looking after our dogs. They can be a handful, but she took great care of them and gave them lots of opportunity to play. She also provided frequent updates so I knew everything was going well. Would definitely rebook with Magdalen!”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sioux Falls
Mattie was amazing! We booked her last minute for a holiday weekend and she absolutely nailed everything. The house looked like no one was even here, and the dogs were so happy when we got home. They were clearly taken care of as well, if not even better than we do every day. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone.
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!
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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work 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.
