About: I’ve had a dog ever since I can remember. I’ve had friends, family and other close individuals rely on me to watch their pets. I personally love pet sitting. Currently, I am a student track and field athlete at Black Hill State University and I go to school full-time. I am free in the evenings and early mornings and sometimes in the afternoon. I will take dogs on walks if they do not have a backyard that is fenced and I will play with your pet outside and inside the house, depending on weather.
“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!”
“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!”
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!
“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.”
About: I have grown up with big dogs. I have cared for many different animals. I am familiar with giving shots and medication (had diabetic dogs). I am willing to work with owners for the best date and times for their pets and their own personal schedule. Depending if it’s for a trip or just a day visit. I am super respectful of your space and property. I want to ensure safety for your pet while you are gone. Making sure everything is locked up before I leave.
About: I grew up around all kinds of animals from horses to cats and have always been fond of animals in general. I grew up with dogs and even helped train them when we got a new puppy. I’ve pet sat for family friends and neighbors in the past even to the point of caring for my neighbors horses when they were out of town. I worked at a humane society working with both cats and dogs and have experience with skittish or nervous dogs. I am currently a part time student and actively looking for a part time job so as of now pet care can be a main priority allowing me to focus on them most everyday. Keep in mind for the current semester I have morning classes in Rapid on Tuesday and Thursday I’ve dealt with a variety of pets that were trained different ways and can adjust how they need to be treated whether they are mainly outside pets, free-roaming indoor pets, or pets trained with a crate. I believe I can build rapport with most any pet if I am given the time to let them become comfortable.
“Candace and Cody are great! I was a little worried at first since my guy is so little and they had big dogs, but it went very well and my pup actually enjoyed playing with the big boys. They even gave Auggie his space on the couch like he has at home! 😆. We will definitely use Candace and Cody again!”
“Nathan watched our 2 dogs and cat while we went on vacation for 6 days. We had never used Rover before so we're a little nervous. But he did great and the pets were taken good care of. Updates and pictures were sent many days. Very appreciated. We will be using his services again.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, cows, and horses. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for animals of different ages, sizes, and needs. Whether it’s keeping a puppy entertained, giving a senior pet extra patience and attention, or simply providing companionship, walks, playtime, and lots of love, I treat every pet like they’re my own. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I have with animals and the care I put into making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and attention based on your pet’s individual needs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and rest. I’m respectful of each client’s home and will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pets are receiving plenty of attention and care while you’re away.

“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!”
About: I have taken care of people's furry friends for around three years! I have experience with dogs, cats, geese, chickens, and goats! 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.

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.
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!

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.
<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 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 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.
