“Great communication! She sent us lots of great pictures! I can tell our Frenchie was very well-loved while we were away! We will definitely book with Jayne again in the future! Would highly recommend!”
“10/10!!! Lauren’s family did a great job making our boys feel at home while we were away. Lauren was such a gracious host and our pups thoroughly enjoyed their time with her family!! We know there were many snuggles, treats, walks, and lots of love over the week we were gone. The videos and photo updates were appreciated and helped ease our anxiety. We will absolutely be using Lauren & Corey again for future dog boarding needs.”
“Amy is very pleasant and responded in a timely manner to messages. Rori was well taken care of and in good spirits when we picked her up. I would be very comfortable leaving her with Amy and Trevor again.”
“Michelle and her family are such a blessing for us. It’s so nice to know our fur babies will not only be well treated but will enjoy their time with her family. Thank you Michelle!”
“I had a great experience! My dog can be a bit anxious (and he’s a big boy), but he was so well cared for and clearly felt comfortable. It gave me peace of mind knowing they’ve handled an English Mastiff before. I loved the daily updates and photos, and he got plenty of outdoor time which he loves. He came home happy and completely tuckered out. I'd absolutely book again!”
“Melissa has completely gained my confidence as someone who will care as well for my dogs as well as I would myself. I could tell from the pictures and videos she shared during their stay that they were having a very positive experience. I feel fortunate to have found such a caring and competent sitter!”
“Trisha was so friendly and genuinely cared for my dogs. She kept in touch with me with pictures and updates. I new they were well taken care of. I will definitely use her again.”
“Anna and her family were great to work with. The airline changed our flights unexpectedly right before a holiday, and Anna was so gracious and flexible with helping accommodate an extra 12 hours of care for my pup. I couldn’t be more thankful for having someone so kind watching Cooper for me when I couldn’t.”
“Larysa was so kind, patient, attentive to my pet. She and her husband are both caring people, have a clean, calm home, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with them and their dog. I will book again with her.”
“Melissa was great! This was our first time using Rover and Melissa kept us at ease with regular updates, videos and photos. I highly recommend and plan to book her for future needs.”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing. She watched our puppy over a long weekend and provided lots of updates, photos and videos! She also offered a meet and greet prior to watching her, which was very appreciated:) We will definitely book with her again next time our pup needs a sitter!”
“Jamie was absolutely amazing with my dog, Winnie! She took such great care of her and truly went above and beyond. I got lots of picture updates throughout the day, which made me feel so at ease while I was gone. Winnie adored her! she was spoiled with attention, love, and plenty of fun. It’s clear Jamie treats pets like her own, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Christina did great with my dogs, went above and beyond caring for them, and was extremely accommodating to me and my schedule upon arrival. I would recommend her services for your pet and definitely would use her services again in the future.”
“Our Stevie was treated very well with Nichole and her family. She was very accommodating even though it was a holiday week. We appreciated the photos and that she even took our dog out for pup cups. We would definitely recommend and use again.”
“My dog has stayed with Angie multiple times now and loves it! Staying with Angie feels like going to Disney for him :) He loves all of the room to run around and has made friends with her dogs. He can't wait for his next stay!”
“So caring! Thank you so much to Mikayla and family for taking Mushka short notice and ill prepared!! I really, really got the feeling that this family truly care about dogs.. They only watched our dog for one day and they were sincerely so very caring! Thank you so much!!”

About: I've taken care of cats for 30 years. I enjoy finding the right enrichment tailored to the specific cat and love to relax and hang out with them. They are so smart and resourceful!
“Cheyenne had a challenging job, keeping track of one elderly indoor kitty, and two naughty indoor-outdoor kitties. She did a wonderful job feeding, cleaning up after, and loving on all of them. They were like "oh...it's you, where's Cheyenne?" when I got home after a week. Thank you!”
“We would HIGHLY recommend Rikki for your pet sitting needs! This was the very first time we had left our 2 rescue cats for more than a single night and we were super nervous especially since they are used to having someone home with them full-time. Rikki did a great job of taking care of all our girls' needs while we were away for a 4-day trip. She stayed overnight and left everything in our home clean and orderly. We even had a stray cat that we recently started looking after that she was more than happy to look after as well. We will for sure use Rikki in the future and are super grateful for the peace of mind she gave us to truly enjoy our vacation!”
“Olivia was awesome! She took such great care of our cat while we were away and gave us total peace of mind. Super reliable, really friendly, and great at sending updates and pics so we always knew everything was good at home. Would 100% book Olivia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
About: I have had dogs my entire adult life, up to 7 at one time, including a husky. I now only have 1, since I had to move and left the rest with my old roommate (some were his anyway, and I took the one that had chosen me as his human). Every dog I've ever had was properly trained to at least sit on command - with or without a treat. When I had the 7, I could have the pack surround me, and call them one by one for their treat, and only the one called would reach. People have watched my dog's behavior out in public and have aske if I could train their dogs! I have no formal training for dog training, but I did grow up watching Caesar on Animal Planet, and implemented his behavior training techniques with all of my own dogs when they were puppies, or from the time I accepted them in as strays. I have cared for others pets in the past, but not in a professional capacity. I sat for a friend of mine at her house, caring for 3 dogs and a cat. I fed the cat in the morning and at night and cleaned her litter box once a day. The dogs got fed on the same schedule, and spent the majority of the day outside in the fenced back yard unless it was raining. I went outside and threw balls and sticks for them a few times each day, for about an hour or so each time. I currently do not have a job, so I am available full time, any day or time. I have my own dog who prefers to not let me out of his sight, and will cry if I leave him at home alone, so getting a traditional job while living in an apartment is out of the question. With that said, I would need to bring him with me. He is going on 10 years old, and has never met a dog or person he didn't love. I am glad to bring him for a meet and greet before any commitments are made. Every dog has a way to let you know they need something. My dog prefers to attempt cuddles when he needs anything, leaving me playing a guessing game until I get it right. He gets super excited when I get it right! As a senior dog, I leave his food out 24/7, and check it in the mornings when I get up and at night when I go to bed to make sure it's not empty. If I notice that it's empty at any point during the day, I simply refill it. Same with his water. His potty schedule is pretty much the same - first thing in the morning, any time he asks during the day, and then one last trip out at bedtime. I know not every dog can follow this schedule, but I have also had dogs who needed me to set alarms to take them out every hour or two, until they were properly house trained. All I need from you is your dogs schedule.
About: Hi! I’m Zoe, a dependable and attentive pet sitter who truly enjoys caring for cats and their unique personalities. While I haven’t owned a cat myself, I’ve cared for many cats for family and friends and am comfortable with everything from playful, social cats to more independent or shy ones. I understand that every cat has their own routine and boundaries, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, respected, and comfortable in their space. Whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, feeding, litter box care, or just giving them space, I’m happy to adjust to what your cat needs. I’m also a registered nurse, so I’m detail-oriented, responsible, and comfortable handling special instructions, medications, or extra care if needed. My background has made me very observant and reliable—qualities that are especially important when caring for pets in their home. I have a flexible schedule and will make sure your cat is well cared for while keeping you updated for peace of mind.
About: I will do early morning or late evening walks to avoid burning you furry friends paw pads, and i take into consideration every little detail! I have done dog sitting and walking since I was 10 and provided exceptional care for family members, friends, and community members. While taking on early morning or late night walks, medications and a wide range of dog breeds and ages! I love spending time with dogs and giving them the exercise or simple love and attention they deserve! I am currently attending Dakota Wesleyan University and pursuing a degree in Sports Psychology! I care for my own two dogs and love taking care of others! I would love to provide early morning, late evening, or afternoon walks for your fur babies to ensure the heat/cold does not harm them! In my clients home I ensure that the pets are safely taken care of, always have enough water and food, and get the exercise they need throughout the day. If any messes are made they are cleaned immediately and I even will help clean around the house with no extra charge!
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I’ve worked in a doggie daycare. I’ll work with any pet you need and any age. I’ll care your pets like they are my own. Loving and caring. I can train dogs with leash pulling or when they are starting new. I’m available anytime of the day Monday through Saturday. I can even work Sunday if you need me too. I am flexible with schedule. It’s up to you and your schedule. I currently have no fence for my doggos. I have my senior dog on a lead and put my puppies on a leash. My senior pup has medicine and I give them to her in the mornings right after she goes outside. If you have questions for me, I’ll answer them.
“Brittany did a wonderful job watching our two cats. We have a cat who gets anxious when we leave and tends to pee on furniture or clothes if we are gone more than a day or two. We were gone for five days and there were no such incidents thanks to Brittany’s attentive care. Our animals seemed happy and content as if we hadn’t left at all, and it was such a relief to come home to relaxed animals in a clean home. 10/10, thank you Brittany!”
About: I’m a calm, nurturing, and reliable pet sitter who genuinely enjoys caring for animals of all kinds. I grew up with pets and currently have both a cat and a dog, so I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust!
“Id highly recommend Anna ! I appreciate how she kept in good contact about my cat during my vacation; and she maintained my apartment perfectly while I was gone. She gives off nothing but a positive vibe 🙂”
“We are incredibly grateful to April and her family for taking such wonderful care of our cat, Mufaza, while we were thousands of miles away visiting family. April made our trip anxiety-free by not only looking after Mufaza but also keeping us updated with thorough visit summaries and delightful pictures. It was clear from the updates that Mufaza was not just cared for but also given enough attention and stimulation to make him feel at ease despite our absence. April’s care was so exceptional that we would be delighted to have her watch Mufaza every time we travel without him. Thank you, April, for your exceptional service and for treating Mufaza as part of your family!”
About: Work from home empty nest Mom. I have a sweet, 9 year old bichon shihtzu that is spoiled rotten 🙂. My kids are at college and come visit on the weekends. I have a flexible schedule during the day and I love to play and walk my dog multiple times a day. I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and I offer a fenced in yard, plenty of play time and snuggles! I’m happy to send pictures throughout the day if you want. My goal is to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I work from home with a flexible schedule during the week. My weekends are mostly home too. I do occasional zoom calls and pretty regular phone calls, so I do need a pretty quiet office space. I usually do walks in the morning and at 4/5pm. Backyard time around lunch time and chill time after 7/8. My dog and I have a calm, easy going manner. I have a fenced in yard and a cute fur baby to keep your pup company. I have extra bedrooms if your dog needs to be in a crate or kennel.
“Madison did an excellent job taking care of my cat. She’s not afraid to learn new things. I could tell she got to know his personality and I loved the reports and pictures sent thru the app.”
“Miss Madison is amazing! She took such great care of both my babies. She boarded my senior dog and did drop in visits on my cat. Madison also has a senior dog so it was nice for him to have a companion he could keep up with! She sent lots of pictures and updates during my trip that gave me the warm and fuzzies that my animals were in great care. I plan to book with her again soon! Thank you again Miss Madison!”
About: I have a vast amount of personal experience with caring, training, and adoring all sorts of pets. Family friends seek me out to take care of their dogs and cats when they need a well-deserved summer vacation. I am dedicated, patient, kind, and love meeting new pets! I work as a full-time teacher during the school year so during the Summer I have a large quantity of time I can dedicate to taking care of your animals. I will follow your instructions to the T and will give your puppy all the attention they are entitled too! Feel free to also ask me to water plants while you are away!

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: Our entire family loves dogs and pets. We love to welcome new friends to our house! My children love to be around other dogs and help out. We work from home and homeschool our children so someone is always around to care for your pet. Our schedule allows for plenty of potty breaks, play time and walks. We make sure to maintain a clean and safe environment for your pet. We provide attentive, reliable care for pets in our home, making them feel comfortable and safe. We have a fenced in backyard where your pets can roam free.
About: I have been dog sitting and babysitting for as long as I can remember! I come from a small town, so I spent lots of time going to neighbors’ houses and letting them out while they went on vacation. I have watched pets ranging from the ages 4 months to 16 years. I know how to properly give them medication, groom them, play with them, and much more. I currently am working part time as a receptionist currently, but am in search of a SAH position so I will be home a lot. My schedule is very flexible and I would love to care for your furry friends! I live in a neighborhood near an off-leash dog park that my dog loves to spend time at. I like to take my dog to lakes to go swimming as well, if yours enjoys the water! We have a lot of open space in our home for the dogs to run and play, as well as toys!
About: Hi! My name is Melissa and I'm so happy to be here! I have 15 years of experience caring for and walking my own dogs, and sitting for friends and family. I know the importance of getting some exercise in for your fur friend, and how challenging it can be to find the time some days! So I am here to help, let me take care of that task for you! I enjoy walking and being outdoors and I'd love to have your pup accompany me! I also own my own home with a fully fenced in backyard, and I work full time from home, so if you need boarding or daycare services, my home would be great for you! I have two pups of my own that absolutely love other dogs, so if you are ok with that, we'd love to care for and keep your pup with us, too! I work from home full time, so it’s easy to attend to my pups (and yours!) during the workday. I can make a lunch hour walk or drop work easily. And afternoons and evenings are pretty open! I have a fully fenced in yard and I am able to let my dogs out as often as they need, and they would be perfect companions for your pups when staying here as well
About: Hi everyone - I was a mom to older English Bulldogs who have recently passed and understand the need for a sitter at times. I used to use a dog sitter myself during the day and understand how hard it can be to get home sometimes! Now that my doggos are no longer with me, I would love to help you out. I work from home so can accept daycare or overnight boarding at my place. I live in a safe neighborhood and have a fenced in backyard for all of the potty breaks and I can also bring them on short walks if requested. I live in a zero-entry, one-level home with no steps which is great for pets with bad joints.
“I had a family emergency and had to leave town really suddenly and Mikayla was able to help me out! My dog was so excited to go over and play! Thanks for everything you do Mikayla!”
“First time Rover user; very pleased and excited to have new resource! Christina accepted booking for daycare on short notice; willing to meet Chica prior to day booked. Wonderful communications - wonderful provider - obviously a lover of animals! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Christina for the day even though we have never kenneled Chica previously. Chica seemed to have a good day, too! Bonus - Christina is very close to our home as well! We will definitely rebook with Christina when again needed - thank you!”
About: I have been a dog owner and lover for most of my life. I currently do not have a dog in the home, so I can focus full-time on your furry family members. I have a lot of experience with pit blends, as well as small dogs. I work freelance from home, and currently have plenty of time to spend giving scritches and going out to play. I am also a runner, and would love to take any dogs with me who love to run. We have a fenced in yard, and a dog room in our basement for naps. We also have a couch in the main living area that's just for dogs, but they are also welcome to sit on our couch or in our recliner chair. We live very close to the bike trail and several parks, and walking distance to the downtown dog park. I also have a dog-safe car for trips to Spencer or Family Dog Park or special trips to The Splash Bark.
About: I provide loving, attentive care for dogs in the Sioux Falls area and have years of experience caring for my family’s and relatives’ dogs while they’re on vacation. Your pup will be treated like part of the family in a safe, comfortable home environment. My home features a fully fenced backyard, upper and lower living levels, and one of my favorite (and most dogs’ favorite!) features—a full glass sunroom that overlooks the backyard. It’s the perfect spot for dogs to relax, soak up the sun, and keep an eye out for rabbits and other wildlife. I have a 1.5-year-old chiweenie named Copper who is very active, friendly, and gets along well with all dogs. Before Copper, I had my chug, Kewley, for 16.5 wonderful years, so I’m experienced with dogs of all ages. Copper is crate trained and is crated during short outings like when I attend church. Weather permitting, we go on daily walks, and your dog will be welcome to join us! For long term stays, we may also enjoy visiting small dog parks almost daily to burn off energy and have fun. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I work from home full-time, so pets get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. Weather permitting we will go on walks and possibly the dog park if all parties are ok with that. I will send daily pics/videos throughout the stay. Some photos may be consider professional portraits :) I live alone with my ChiWeenie Copper as mentioned. My neighborhood is full of dogs and the people are friendly. Overall, it is a quiet neighborhood on a quiet street. Pets can be crated at anytime if owner prefers. I plan on not having more than 3-4 dogs at a time. Small-Medium size dogs only.
About: Hi I’m Josie! :) Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them genuinely makes me happy. I offer boarding, daycare, walks, house sitting, and drop-in visits with a calm, attentive, hands-on approach to care. I’m home full-time so I have a flexible schedule & provide a safe environment where dogs can feel comfortable, relaxed, and truly at ease. I have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always make sure each dog feels understood, cared for, & comfortable when in my care. Because I’m home throughout the day, dogs get lots of supervision, attention, outdoor time, affection, play, and enrichment. I love creating an environment where dogs will get mental stimulation and interaction tailored to their personality and energy level. Whether your dog loves playing, exploring, relaxing in the sun, sniffing around outside, or just staying close by, I adjust their day to what makes them happiest, and I make sure to send lots of updates while doing so! :) I have a fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, explore, sunbathe, and play while being closely supervised. Dogs in my care are provided with toys, puzzles/sniffing games, outdoor time, water play, walks, and one-on-one interaction. My dog Ivy is very friendly, laid back, calm, and enjoys being around other dogs. She loves having another dog around to play with, relax beside, or explore with, and gets along great and is very respectful with other furry friends. 😊 With owner approval, I’m happy to take dogs on trail walks, city walks, or sniff walks. If not no worries—we have plenty of enrichment, playtime, and exercise opportunities right at home. Doggy daycare is a great option for pups who need company while you’re at work, running errands, need a break in their routine / week, or simply want a fun day or couple of hours filled with enrichment, play, attention, and exercise instead of being home alone or spending long hours in a kennel. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from high-energy breeds to anxious or shy pups who need a little extra patience. If I host multiple dogs, it’s only when all owners are comfortable with it and the dogs are a good fit. Otherwise, your dog will receive my full attention and care. I understand that trusting someone with your pet—and sometimes your home—is a big deal. You can expect reliability, clear communication, love for your pet, and respect for your space while you’re away. Whether you’re heading out of town, have a busy work schedule, need care during the day, or simply want peace of mind while you’re away, I’m here to care for your dog as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for every step of the way. Your pup’s safety and wellbeing are my #1 priority! Please feel free to message me if you’d like to set up a meet and greet, book a service, or if you have any questions about my care. 🐾
“Mable is usually very nervous with new people but she did great! Paige made her feel comfortable but not just her…ME!!! I would definitely use Paige again and would recommend her for anyone! Thank you again for such great care of Mable! She has a rough day traveling and sitting in the airport all day and I can tell you took great care of her!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and caged animals since I was little. I also worked at Petco grooming for a few years. We have 2 Chihuahuas of our own, 2 Sphynx and an Axolotl. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is flexible and open most days. Just let me know what you need and we can work it out! I will care for your pet in your home how you request me to. In our home we are very careful to not let our animals out loose, we take them on a leash if they aren’t in the yard and kennel our dogs when we leave.
About: I have always had a strong love for any animal. I grew up on a farm with a wide variety of animals (that I mostly brought home). I showed animals in the county fair, trained dogs, and have now raised 2 of my own dogs. I can’t wait to love and care for your pets in anyways needed! I currently work during the day and have my summers off! I have my own dog who lives with me, who is very spoiled! I’m looking to spoil some more fur-friends! Reach out with any questions! I have an out door leash, a hand held leash, and a radius collar. Customers may choose which one they would like me to use. I am a very flexible person and will meet each individual need when possible.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Manley
Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I've been lucky enough to have a dog in my life since I was young. I have raised many puppies of different breeds and I have experience with various personalities. I can take your dog for a nice walk or check on them and let them out into the yard. I've cared for friends' and families' and neighbors' dogs for 15 years. The past 4 years I did conservation detection work with my pups and now I am currently working as a dog trainer in Sioux Falls. I specialize in scent work, cooperative care, and tailoring enrichment to the individual dog. I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of free time to take your dogs out exploring and adventuring. I can take them on shorter or longer walks depending on what you need. I follow any guidelines left by the dogs' person to take care of them and keep them on a routine so they are as stress free and safe as possible.
“My pups love walking with Kelsey and she is super attentive with them! We'll be happy to stick with her for as long as she's walking in Brandon. She's super courteous and cleans up properly after the pups and gives them treats. Super happy with her walks.”

About: Growing up, I’ve always loved and cared for dogs. Now that I have my own, I understand the feeling of having someone care for them the way you do. I work a full-time job from Monday to Thursday, and sometimes I have mandatory Fridays. However, I’m more than happy to assist on weekends or weekdays after 5 PM, and I’m also available on Fridays if my work schedule allows. I reside in an apartment, but I thoroughly enjoy taking them for daily walks and visits to the dog park, every day, other day, depending on my schedule.
“Olivia had great communication and offered to help with short notice. It was so nice knowing we could leave for a long period of time and Baxter was taken care of! She took him for a walk and made sure he had fresh water after. Love all the pictures! I will definitely reach out to her again!”
About: Hi! I’m Zoe, a reliable and compassionate dog lover with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up around dogs and have always had a natural connection with them—from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I genuinely love being active, so long walks, playtime, and getting outside with your dog are something I look forward to. Whether your pup is big, small, shy, or full of energy, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m also a registered nurse, which means I’m attentive, responsible, and comfortable handling a wide range of needs—including giving medications or caring for older dogs who may need extra support. My background caring for both patients and my own grandparents has shaped me into someone who is patient, observant, and dependable. My schedule is flexible, and I’m committed to providing consistent, loving care while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated so you have peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule as a nurse. On my days off, I have full availability for walks, drop-ins, or extended visits. On workdays, I’m still able to provide consistent care like morning walks/visits, evening check-ins, feeding, and quality time. I’m used to planning my schedule ahead, so I make sure each pet gets reliable, attentive care and isn’t rushed. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions, routines, and preferences to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, medications, and behavior changes. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure during visits and walks. With my nursing background, I’m observant, responsible, and quick to respond if anything seems off, so your pet is always in safe, trustworthy hands.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I’ve worked in a doggie daycare. I’ll work with any pet you need and any age. I’ll care your pets like they are my own. Loving and caring.

My senior pup has medicine and I give them to her in the mornings right after she goes outside. If you have questions for me, I’ll answer them.
About: Growing up I've always had pets of all shapes and sizes. My household was almost like a shelter because we would often take in strays and friends pets they could not longer care for. Neighbors and friends would also ask me to pet sit while they away or check in/walk their animal if they're gone too long. Because of all this I've cared for many cats and dogs of various ages so I understand what kind of care each animal may need. I'm currently working part time with a very flexible schedule so I'll always have time to care. I'm also almost always around on holidays! At home I have three cats and two dogs (I'm not the only caretaker), and they're all incredibly friendly. Our house is a little small so another location is preferred.
About: **Updated 5/25/24: the only pet we have at the time is an English angora rabbit who lives outside or in the garage. We have had dogs in our home until this year, and have experience with all kinds and sizes of dogs. We are very experienced with positive reinforcement and fear-free methods. We have an English Angora rabbit, so are experienced with rabbits and can provide drop-in service for small animals as well as dogs and cats. I work as a registered nurse very part time, and homeschool my two children. We are often home, and are not usually away from the house for more than 4-6 hours. We have a large, fenced-in yard, and are able and willing to bring your dog on walks around our neighborhood. I have two responsible children at home, ages 9 and 12, and they are experienced with dogs and have been involved with care and training. We can accommodate all kinds of needs. As a registered nurse, I am trustworthy and responsible, and am very experienced with following a care plan and providing detailed updates. I’ll be happy to send reports and pictures while you are away from your pet!

I enjoy spending time with pets and getting to know their personalities. Your dogs will have a blast being outdoors going on walks or playing fetch with me. I’m reliable, and you can count on me to follow any special instructions that may be needed for your pet. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter.

“Brianna is a first rate dog walker and was so caring with my little 4 pound toy poodle. I will contact her to care for/walk my dog every time I am in the area. She walked my dog 8 times and was prompt and attentive each time. Dunkin' loved Brianna!”
About: Iv grew up with animals all my life and have always had a heart for caring for animals! I have been dog sitting my neighbors dogs for years!

I have a fenced yard, and many areas for your pups to stay! I have a few younger siblings as well who would love to be entertained by your pups as well!
About: My whole life I’ve been around animals… big and small. I grew up on and off a farm, as my dad is a Large / Small animal veterinarian! I’ve always had lots of animals in my home and love taking care of them (and lots of treats)! Also, I do move back to college in August. So Sioux City soon to come :) I’m currently home from college! I am a nursing major at Morningside university in Sioux City. Born and raised in Sioux Falls, and needed a fun summer gig! I can take your animals on long or short walks.. or just out to potty! I also LOVE a good game of fetch or tug! Myself at home I have 2 wild dogs that always need to move around ;)
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up with animals taught me how to read their behavior, provide daily care, and make them feel comfortable and safe. I have experience feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, administering basic care, and giving them plenty of attention and exercise. I also have experience helping train puppies, including basic commands, leash manners, house-training routines, and positive reinforcement techniques. I enjoy working with young dogs and helping them learn good habits while building their confidence. I currently care for my own pets and understand how important it is to treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so pet owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and am available most weekdays, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. This allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, or overnight stays. While I generally prefer not to work weekends, I may be available on a case-by-case basis with advance notice. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special needs. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and lots of love while their owners are away. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and wellbeing and will communicate with owners if I notice anything unusual. I understand that trust is important when someone is caring for a beloved pet, so I treat every animal and home with respect and care. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

“10/10!!! Lauren’s family did a great job making our boys feel at home while we were away. Lauren was such a gracious host and our pups thoroughly enjoyed their time with her family!! We know there were many snuggles, treats, walks, and lots of love over the week we were gone. The videos and photo updates were appreciated and helped ease our anxiety. We will absolutely be using Lauren & Corey again for future dog boarding needs.”
“Amy is very pleasant and responded in a timely manner to messages. Rori was well taken care of and in good spirits when we picked her up. I would be very comfortable leaving her with Amy and Trevor again.”
“Michelle and her family are such a blessing for us. It’s so nice to know our fur babies will not only be well treated but will enjoy their time with her family. Thank you Michelle!”
“I had a great experience! My dog can be a bit anxious (and he’s a big boy), but he was so well cared for and clearly felt comfortable. It gave me peace of mind knowing they’ve handled an English Mastiff before. I loved the daily updates and photos, and he got plenty of outdoor time which he loves. He came home happy and completely tuckered out. I'd absolutely book again!”
“Trisha was so friendly and genuinely cared for my dogs. She kept in touch with me with pictures and updates. I new they were well taken care of. I will definitely use her again.”
“Anna and her family were great to work with. The airline changed our flights unexpectedly right before a holiday, and Anna was so gracious and flexible with helping accommodate an extra 12 hours of care for my pup. I couldn’t be more thankful for having someone so kind watching Cooper for me when I couldn’t.”
“Larysa was so kind, patient, attentive to my pet. She and her husband are both caring people, have a clean, calm home, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with them and their dog. I will book again with her.”

“Jamie was absolutely amazing with my dog, Winnie! She took such great care of her and truly went above and beyond. I got lots of picture updates throughout the day, which made me feel so at ease while I was gone. Winnie adored her! she was spoiled with attention, love, and plenty of fun. It’s clear Jamie treats pets like her own, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Christina did great with my dogs, went above and beyond caring for them, and was extremely accommodating to me and my schedule upon arrival. I would recommend her services for your pet and definitely would use her services again in the future.”
“Our Stevie was treated very well with Nichole and her family. She was very accommodating even though it was a holiday week. We appreciated the photos and that she even took our dog out for pup cups. We would definitely recommend and use again.”

About: I have had dogs my entire adult life, up to 7 at one time, including a husky. I now only have 1, since I had to move and left the rest with my old roommate (some were his anyway, and I took the one that had chosen me as his human). Every dog I've ever had was properly trained to at least sit on command - with or without a treat. When I had the 7, I could have the pack surround me, and call them one by one for their treat, and only the one called would reach. People have watched my dog's behavior out in public and have aske if I could train their dogs! I have no formal training for dog training, but I did grow up watching Caesar on Animal Planet, and implemented his behavior training techniques with all of my own dogs when they were puppies, or from the time I accepted them in as strays. I have cared for others pets in the past, but not in a professional capacity. I sat for a friend of mine at her house, caring for 3 dogs and a cat. I fed the cat in the morning and at night and cleaned her litter box once a day. The dogs got fed on the same schedule, and spent the majority of the day outside in the fenced back yard unless it was raining. I went outside and threw balls and sticks for them a few times each day, for about an hour or so each time. I currently do not have a job, so I am available full time, any day or time. I have my own dog who prefers to not let me out of his sight, and will cry if I leave him at home alone, so getting a traditional job while living in an apartment is out of the question. With that said, I would need to bring him with me. He is going on 10 years old, and has never met a dog or person he didn't love. I am glad to bring him for a meet and greet before any commitments are made. Every dog has a way to let you know they need something. My dog prefers to attempt cuddles when he needs anything, leaving me playing a guessing game until I get it right. He gets super excited when I get it right! As a senior dog, I leave his food out 24/7, and check it in the mornings when I get up and at night when I go to bed to make sure it's not empty. If I notice that it's empty at any point during the day, I simply refill it. Same with his water. His potty schedule is pretty much the same - first thing in the morning, any time he asks during the day, and then one last trip out at bedtime. I know not every dog can follow this schedule, but I have also had dogs who needed me to set alarms to take them out every hour or two, until they were properly house trained. All I need from you is your dogs schedule.
About: Professionalism and effective communication will set me apart from others on the site. Of course, I love dogs, but I also enjoy people and take great pride in being dependable, someone you can trust. If you choose to work with me it will be a great experience for your K-9 and for you too! I will be available for boarding on weekends, and available early mornings and evenings, 7 days a week. Under special circumstances I may be able to expand my availability for boarding to weekdays, but only after building rapport for an agreeable period of time. Kindness and patience are the hallmarks of the care I will provide to the pets under my supervision. I am a loving father of three kids. I was a classroom teacher for 20 years. I grew up with pets. My respect and affection for animals is genuine. Most importantly, I do not think that I know better than you concerning the care of your beloved pet. My attention and the care I provide will align with your wishes and expectations.
“Justin was great, and so understanding about leaving our “baby” with him!! He lives in a great neighborhood and Ollie got some good walks in. We knew we’d left him in the right hands! Thanks Justin, Ollie will be back!!”
“Zach has watched our highly anxious dog twice now and he has done such a great job both times!! We can enjoy our vacations knowing our dog is in such great hands with Zach!”
