About: I love dogs and I love spending time outdoors with them. I have two dogs of my own that are my whole entire world! I have dog sat for friends and family plenty of times, and I also have a part-time job at a daycare/boarding place. I would love to meet your pets and be able to take care of them when you are out of town. Thank you in advance for the opportunity! I work during the week 8am-5pm with an hour lunch break that I come home for to take my dogs outside. I also have a part-time job at a dog boarding/daycare on the weekends, those shifts are 6:45-10am and 2:15-5pm. I have a 6 ft privacy fence and two male dogs that love to play outside or love a good nap! In a client's home I follow instructions carefully and treat things and animals as if they are my own.

About: We just got two cats last year and they have been a handful, but now that they are older they are much more acclimated to our house and just hang out. I’ve cat sat for a family friend once and it was easy, just gave her food and cleaned out the litter box. I love cats

“Takes great care of my Sadie Mae when I am away!”

Michael B.

“Elsie was amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She reliably came twice a day as requested and took excellent care of my kitties. She tidied up after them, made sure food & water was readily available, gave lots of pets and treats. She went above & beyond and even utilized a video chat so I could see them. I highly recommend her and will book her every time.”

Stephanie S.

“Sarah went above and beyond caring for our cat and home during a weekend getaway. Brought large packages inside even though we didn’t ask her too. Sent photos of our cat so we could see how he was doing. Would hire again.”

Dante G.

“Alex was absolutely phenomenal! She provided excellent communication throughout the entire time she watched our pets—always quick to update us with photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind. Our animals clearly LOVED her and were happy and well-cared-for when we returned. We can't say enough good things about her warmth, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Thank you, Alex—we'll definitely be booking with you again!”

Eric

“Tara was so kind and attentive to my kitties. She did everything I asked for and more. I have one cat who is extremely shy, but Tara managed to capture a picture of her, so I was happy to see her while I was away. Tara updated me with pictures the whole time which made me feel that my kitties were in good hands. Thank you!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 8 years I have my own dog who just turned 2. The very first dog I ever adopted was kind of “scary” looking and played aggressively she was very sassy and didn’t enjoy the company of other dogs or people (she sadly passed away 2 years ago). While my current puppers is hyper active but has extreme anxiety and loves being around people and other pets. I also often petsit my best friends doggo who is a senior and disabled, he can’t use his back two legs and has a lot of medical issues. I know and understand how to work with dogs of all personalities :) I’m working on getting my GED right now so I have a lot of free time lately. I can work on my classes any time during the day so my schedule is pretty open. I can kennel your dog if needed, take them on walks, feed them, play with them, even cuddle with them!! Our fur babies get lonely too!

“Alecia was incredibly caring, organized, and very attentive with my cats.🐱 Every day she kept me informed about how everything was at home and also sent me photos of them, which made me feel very calm and reassured during my time away. She not only took care of them and administered their medication, but also made sure their water bowls were always clean. She went above and beyond by taking extra time to clean the litter boxes, clean up vomit, sweep, and keep the mat tidy. These are the kinds of details that truly make a difference.✨️ She played with them, spoiled them, and cared for them with so much love and dedication. Alecia is very kind, respectful, and warm in her communication, which builds even more trust. 🌸 Without a doubt, I highly recommend her for taking care of your furry loved ones.🐾 It’s very comforting to know that someone like her exists someone who can care for your pets as if you were there yourself. It’s clear that she truly loves what she does, and her work is simply outstanding ✨️.”

About: Hey there! I’m Karena, i’m a mom of one sweet cat Kimchi(spayed and up to date with shots) i’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have now grown into my cat lady era. big yard, and have a nice sized home, no children just my husband and our cat living there, we do live in dakota city rural area. I have a pretty open and flexible schedule so I have alot of free time available. My cat is the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about before bed, it’s her world and i’m just living in it. I live in a pretty quiet neighborhood and have a nice sized yard. I also have a finished basement for play space inside, my cat has her own bedroom if that speaks for itself. I try to provide the best care possible for any animal, I feed my cat an all wet diet, she had a water fountain and whisker fatigue free bowl, she also uses health monitoring litter and has her own room for her toys.

About: I have owned dogs for 12+ years and I have three of them. 2 shitzhus and a lab. I also have 2 cats as of last year. I have dog sat for my friends family many times and have never had any issues. I get along with dogs so well, I’ve been called the dog whisperer. I have looked after fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, snakes, lizards, hermit crabs. Because I have animals, they have to be apart of my routine. Starts with waking up, feeding all of them, letting the dogs outside, checking if they need water, and maybe a little play session before I have to get started with my day. Periodically letting them outside to go to the bathroom and to get some fresh air. Feeding them at dinner time and repeating the morning steps. Just hanging out with them. I am pretty much willing to be constantly around the animals if need be. I will play with them, take them outside, feed them, give them the attention they need, walk them, and just hang out with them.

“Elisie was wonderful! We booked last minute, and she was very flexible and responsive. She gave our pup lots of attention and even adjusted for extreme weather—we had a blizzard and 90 degree weather all in the same week! We’d definitely recommend her and would happily have her care for our dog again in the future.”

Andrea C.

“Maverick loved walking with Sarah! I appreciate the help while we were gone. This is first time using Rover or Sarah and I would definitely ask her to walk him in the future!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! My mom and I used to foster cats and dogs of all sizes, so I’ve had experience caring for all kinds of personalities. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, and I love spending my free time outdoors. Taking your dog for walks and giving them some extra love and attention would be a joy for me! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I’m available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop ins, pet sitting ECT... I can easily adjust my availability to fit your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of care and attention throughout the day. I care for every pet like they’re part of my own. When I’m in your home, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable by following their normal routines and giving them plenty of attention. I will always make to keep walks fun but safe. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

About: I am originally from Sioux Falls, SD and just moved back to the Midwest after just over 8.5 years in California. I grew up with a house full of cats and dogs. I moved to California in 2015 and have been house sitting and checking in on friends and coworkers pets since which includes cats, dogs and reptiles. This includes walking, bathing and feeding and the ages ranged from puppy to full grown. I also nannied for a neighbor during 2020 in lieu of her finding a boarder when she had to go back to working in office. I am super outdoorsy and have taken pets to the river or even kayaking. I grew up riding horses and helping around the farm. I love animals and any excuse to take care of them. I have a very flexible lifestyle and can make your schedule fit with mine. I know every pet has it's own needs and love to communicate in order to curate the best experience for your animal. Pet care will vary case by case. I generally meet with the owners as needed and go over expectations and follow any requests or needs outlined. If I have any concerns I work with the owners directly.

“Sara is great. She’s kind and Clyde loves her. She sends lots of pics and updates about their time together which I really appreciate. Would highly recommend.”
