About: I have been working with and taking care of dogs for the last 5 years ranging from 5lbs-110lbs. I am a professional dog trainer in the black hills area trying to make my dreams come true with my personal dogs. I love dogs ranging from any sizes with any personality, your dog will receive the best care I can provide in my home at all times with update photos and messages. I will keep your pet well exercised and entertained in my home. I look forward to working with you! I currently work from home so I am available for your pet at all times during the day and night. I can take emergency boarding and pet care or scheduled care. I live in an apartment but my dog is walked at least 3 times a day, outside of walking we love hiking and training daily! He is a super playful sweet 9 month old golden retriever who will always be okay with playing with your pup! I can easily crate your dog if directed by you! I will provide your dog with lots of puzzle toys and games to keep them entertained and fulfilled in their time here!

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.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of hands-on animal care experience and a genuine passion for animals. While attending college, I worked as a veterinary technician in both general practice and emergency care settings. Although this experience was several years ago, it provided me with valuable knowledge of animal behavior, safe handling techniques, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention or care. In addition to my veterinary experience, I have spent years caring for pets belonging to family and friends. My experience extends beyond dogs and cats to include horses, pet birds, chickens, and reptiles. At home, we have a spirited Silver Labrador, a Cavapoo who is my son's best friend, a cat, a horse, and a gecko that spends school breaks with us. Being surrounded by animals every day has helped me develop a strong understanding of their unique personalities, needs, and routines. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a senior needing extra patience and attention, or somewhere in between, I am committed to providing dependable, loving care tailored to their individual needs. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat your furry, feathered, or scaled family members with the same care and attention I give my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine. As a teacher currently on summer break, I have open availability and a flexible schedule to provide reliable care and attention for your pets. During the school year, I am available on weekends, school breaks, holidays, and evenings. I am committed to ensuring pets receive consistent, loving care and maintaining their routines while their owners are away. I believe pets are often happiest and most comfortable in their own home, where they can maintain their normal routines and familiar surroundings. For that reason, I prefer to provide care in my clients' homes whenever possible. I take the time to follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, medications, and plenty of attention and affection. If boarding in my home is needed, I have a securely fenced yard and a pet-friendly environment. My household includes two friendly dogs, a cat, and a classroom pet gecko. I carefully consider each pet's temperament and needs to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while in my home. My goal is always to provide a loving, low-stress experience that helps pets feel secure while their owners are away.

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!

Arianne was great with our boy Carbon. It was his first time spending a night without me or my husband present since we got him 3+ years ago, and she made sure that it wasn't a bad experience for him. We definitely went overboard when it came to providing information about him, but Arianne was able to handle it all without issue. 6/5.

I arranged 2 drop ins for an extra long work day. She was very professional, and very considerate of my home. She was very attentive and my dogs really liked her. She sent many pictures and stayed with them for 30 minutes each visit. I really appreciate not only her professionalism, but her consideration for my dogs and myself. I will be contacting her again next time my dogs need a walk or friendly visit!

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
