“Meredith was amazing! She took loving care of Dusty and Archie overnight and kept me updated with thoughtful check-ins. Her response time was excellent and her check-ins with photos were reassuring. Communication was prompt and clear and she genuinely cared about my dogs. I felt completely comfortable and reassured the entire time. I’d absolutely book her again and highly recommend her! 🐾💛”
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of breeds of dogs, from all different ages. I help family and friends with letting their pets out, playing with them, bathing them. I hope I can help your animal feel loved and cared for while you are gone! I go to school and have a part time job during the weekdays but have lots of long breaks between classes to play with your animals and free on weekends for boarding I love playing with dogs, I grew up with labs, and pit bulls. I’m young so I’ll run around and play with them, take them on walks and sit and pet them for hours if they are a lil old for playing. Your fur baby is my top priority when in my care!

About: I have dogsat before Nov 2025 and I enjoyed it, I would do it again! my family and I used to have a dog so I would take care of him while my family members were gone & I would be more than happy to watch your puppy/dog fur babies, I have also been a catsitter over the summer of 2024 and I enjoyed it so much that I would do it again, I would be more than happy to watch your kitty/cat fur babies!! Hi! I’m Sydney from Mitchell SD, I am a current student at Black Hills State University studying Elementary Education, so if you are in the area please reach out, I will be back in the Spearfish area. I have always loved fur babies and would love to take care of yours! My family and I used to have a yellow lab but we had to put him down a couple of years ago, he was my favorite part of the family, and I fed him and gave water when needed when my dad was gone for work, I took him on runs which don't turn out well with a lab, we went on a lot of walks. I would prefer your fur baby to stay in its home and I can make the trip! Getting out is good for me!
“Roxy did a wonderful job. She arrived at her meet and greet very professional and was very thorough with gathering info on how to care for our critters. While we were gone she send pictures several times a day and left the house very clean when she left. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Beth is amazing! She was so great with our two 11 month old pugs. We were away from home visiting relatives for a family reunion. Beth came to our Airbnb both Saturday and Sunday - which was a long drive for her! But we felt like we didn’t have to make so many trips back and forth to let our dogs out and felt good that they had someone to play with while we were busy with family. We so appreciated the great communication and job that Beth did. We will definitely reach out to Beth again next time we are in the area.”

Also, grew up with two needy pups, so I understand the strict schedules our animals need! Let's make sure your animals get the care they deserve! As of right now, I have a lot of free time during my day! I can let the animals out, feed them, walk them, or play with them. I will make sure your pet is loved like it is my own! Any furry friend automatically has my heart. I want to make sure I enter the home with love! Our animals can sense negativity and hesitation.
“Marci was so great! She took our weekend booking with less than 48 hours notice after having two other Rover sitters cancel on us. She even made sure to come out for a meet and greet. She was very friendly and learned the routines of our four dogs easily. She assured us that everything would be taken care of while we were away camping with limited cell service and she was right! Our dogs all loved her as soon as they met her! She was watching our home and dogs alongside a friend of hers and they both did fantastic. We came home to the dogs being brushed and a clean house. Marci and her friend were no doubt a gift to us. Thank you thank you thank you!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Spearfish
Samantha has watched our fur and aquatic babies a few times and always is amazing. She even noticed an owie on my dog contacted us and took him to the vet and continued the care needed. Highly recommend her. My animals loved her from the second she walked in the house.
Meredith is an amazing sitter! In all my years of using Rover, I can honestly say, she is the best sitter I have ever hired! She was very attentive and quickly responded to messages! She was amazing with my Shepard and cat, taking great care of them both, playing with them and taking my Shepard for many walks! She was also great with sending me pics of them so I wouldnt miss them so much and also great to see how well she was taking care of them, as though they were her own, which is great to know! I highly recommend Meredith, she will not disappointe you, but rather impress you beyond any other sitter you have or will hire!
Beth is amazing! She was so great with our two 11 month old pugs. We were away from home visiting relatives for a family reunion. Beth came to our Airbnb both Saturday and Sunday - which was a long drive for her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Spearfish on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 23 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Spearfish. 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 Spearfish 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 Spearfish 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 Spearfish 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.
