“We were on an extended vacation and Renata took such good care of our three dogs! The check ins and pictures were so nice. We will definitely be return customers ❤️”
“Cheyenne was awesome! She took great care of our babies and gave wonderful updates and communication was great. We were away for over two weeks and she did a great job keeping the boys happy! We even had to work through an issue with our door and with us being on a cruise we were hard to get a home of. She communicated with my family member in town to get the issue resolved. I don’t want to leave the boys again, but if we do, we for sure will reach out to her again!”

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: 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.
“Anna was wonderful in caring for our dog and cat! This was the longest we have been away from our animals and weren’t sure how they would handle it. They absolutely loved Anna, and she cared for them like they were her own. Her calm and caring demeanor helped them feel at ease. On our return, the house was just how we left it and the animals were happy, showing no signs of anxiety over us being gone. She stayed in contract and kept us informed on how they were doing. It helped put my mind at ease with being gone for so long. Anna was great, we will use her services again and highly recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sioux Falls
Brittany is an amazing pet sitter. My pets were so well cared for. She not only did what was expected she went above and beyond. I’m a single mom of three kids and came home to a house way cleaner than when I left. It was so amazing to see. She sent pictures and played well with both the cat and dog. Today I can see them looking for her on the camera. She’s amazing!
If dogs could leave Yelp reviews, Braden and Grace would have a flawless 5-star rating. These two will drop what they’re doing at a moment’s notice to spoil your furry family member like royalty. Expect happy tails, extra treats, and your dog seriously considering whether it even wants you to come back!
This is our second time booking with Macy, and once again she went above and beyond for our dog. This visit was just a pop-in to break up the day while everyone was gone, and it worked out perfectly. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our pup is in such good hands. We would absolutely book with her again!
an absolute gem of a cat sitter! purrfect at there job with a cool head for any unexpected challenge that might come up. definitely the first choice for me for a weekend away or any trip! takes excellent care and provides professional and timely feedback updates on animals health and wellbeing at every drop in!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sioux Falls stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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 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.
