Pet Sitting in Sturgis

“Abby did a wonderful job dropping in and checking on Chisai. Took great care following our instructions, taking him out, having play time, and securing the house when she left. Thanks Abby for being so responsive at such a late hour and on such short notice. Great job caring for our little Westie.”

“Candice did a great job with our kitty, Luna. Luna can be prone to throwing up and Candice was kind enough to check in on her more often and clean up. We will definitely use Candice again in the future!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I am so happy that I found the app. Nathan was fantastic! He came several days before our booking date to meet our three cats, Lucky, Squeak, and Caramel. Our cats took to him right away, so I knew he was going to be our sitter. I enjoyed the daily pictures of our cats and they looked so content. Nathan will definitely be our sitter the next time we need one. Thanks Nathan for a fantastic job!!! Jo Anne Pullins”

I hope to help everyone with their pet needs! I am very flexible and happy to help! I’m currently working part time, and often have lots of free time!

About: I have been a pet-owner since I was ten years old. I used to do campground pet care from age 10-13. I am pretty great at bonding with animals, getting to be their friend, and helping them get the exercise and attention they need! I love animals that come in all shapes and sizes and I am confident that I will be a great companion for your pet in any way that they need. I love to spend time in the park with my own pets, letting them splash in the creek, playing fetch, running with them, and showing them some good old-fashioned love. Our pets are too often overlooked and Rover is a great opportunity to for your pet to get some love too! I’m currently pursuing my online degree in Social Work and using Rover as an opportunity to make money on the side! My schedule is virtually open! I have 2 cats of my own, and a family dog—a doberman—so boarding in my own home isn’t terribly ideal for me. I am however very flexible with coming to clients’ homes and giving their pets all the attention they need!

“Shey helped us out regularly with daily drop in visits. Our 10 year old chiweenie adores her and always enjoys their visits. We felt so at ease having her come into our home and care for our furbaby.”

About: Hi! I grew up in a home full of animals—my mom is a veterinarian, and I spent years helping care for pets of all kinds. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14, with experience ranging from farm animals and exotics to multi-pet households. I’m also comfortable administering oral, injectable, and topical medications thanks to my hands-on experience working alongside my mom. I’ve never lived without a dog, and I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a senior in college, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule and lots of free time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting throughout the week, and I do my best to be reliable and responsive when plans come up. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I love being able to fit pet care into my daily routine. I provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I make sure all of their daily needs are met, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of each home and follow any specific instructions closely so both pets and owners feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while they’re away.

“Fantastic! Nicole cared for our cat, fish, spider, and plants while we went out of town this summer. She did a fantastic job with everyone! She sent pictures and kept us up to date on the household. We will definitely use her whenever we travel! Thank you Nicole”

“Shaye is the best! My cats adore her and I know they are well taken care of when she drops in. Very communicative and quick to reply.”

About: I’ve grown up caring for cats and dogs growing up and have always loved them! I have two years of experience in veterinary medicine and in animal care. I’m currently working a part time job in the mornings, so I am available anytime from 1 pm to anytime on any day. I am also willing to be flexible with mornings! I have a fenced in yard and am able take animals outside for potty breaks whenever needed. I am also able to house them inside for any amount of time needed.

About: I grew up with dogs and I currently have a black lab who lives with my husband. I’ve dog sat for friends and family throughout my life. I love to run, walk and be outside in nature. Dogs are definitely considered family to me! I am a travel nurse from South Dakota but currently live in Des Moines. I work night shift so during the day I’m around. My days are generally grouped together but letting pets out or walking are both doable! I can do overnights and watch for periods of time it will just depend on my schedule. I always want to respect the animal and let them come to me to meet and get to know me first. I love to play fetch or with whatever toys they like.

About: I have had a dog of my own since I could remember, and since getting out on my own I’ve realized how scary it is to trust someone with my animals because I’m always scared they won’t be treated the same as how I treat them therefore I decided I wanted to help other people just like me! I work from home and love to be in the comfort of my own home so I’m always home to be with your fur baby. I have a large fenced in yard that has been escape proofed due to my 2 babies that love to run. I have many many years of relevant experience.

“She took care of my girl and followed instructions! No issues my dog was so happy and comfortable. I will definitely be booking again for future visits! :) I needed someone to come hang out with my dog on Christmas Eve and it was so last minute. Extremely grateful!”

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. Family and friends love when I come by to give their dogs attention. I also take good care of animals like how I want to be treated. Pet care can fit into my schedule I am home mostly during the day and I work on my own time. You can count on me. I love to go for walks no matter how cold it is, and I love to play with dogs or cats. I would take good care of the animals.

About: With 15 years of pet care experience, I've built a reputation as the sitter friends and family turn to when they need someone they can truly trust. Growing up surrounded by dogs and cats gave me an intuitive understanding of pet behavior, and over the years I've cared for countless breeds - from gentle giants to tiny lap dogs, anxious rescues to energetic puppies. What makes me different is my versatility and adaptability. I'm equally comfortable managing multi-dog households, caring for dogs and cats simultaneously, and adjusting to each pet's unique personality and needs. Whether you have a senior dog requiring gentle, patient care or a high-energy breed that needs extra playtime, I know how to read their cues and provide exactly what they need to feel safe and loved. My experience with diverse breeds and household dynamics means I can handle whatever curveballs your pets might throw - from managing pack dynamics to understanding breed-specific behaviors. I take pride in maintaining each pet's individual routine while ensuring harmony in multi-pet homes. You'll receive regular updates and photos throughout my visits, so you can relax knowing your furry family members are not just being watched, but truly cared for by someone who understands that every pet is someone's beloved companion. I have a flexible weekend schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet's needs. Having recently moved to western South Dakota, I'm excited to build lasting relationships with local pet owners and become a trusted part of this community. My open availability means I can easily accommodate various scheduling needs - whether you need early morning walks, midday check-ins, overnight stays, or last-minute care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet sitting never feels like work to me. It's actually the highlight of my day! I'm happy to work around your pet's established routine and can be flexible with timing to ensure they receive consistent, reliable care. Whether your pet thrives on a strict schedule or is more go-with-the-flow, I'll adapt to what works best for them and your family. I believe the key to excellent pet care is maintaining consistency with your pet's established routine and household rules. When caring for pets in your home, I take detailed notes about their daily schedule, feeding times, favorite spots, and any house rules—whether that means staying off certain furniture or having free rein of the couch. Your pet's comfort stems from familiarity, so I ensure that nothing changes from their normal routine. I provide the same level of attentive care - regular exercise, plenty of affection, and constant supervision. I also maintain open communication throughout, sending updates and photos so you can see how well your pet is settling in and enjoying their time with me.
