“Nathan was very nice and always provided photo updates of our bunny, Mr. Pickles. I could tell that he played with him and he always wrote little status updates after the visit to tell me about the visit. He seemed excited to gain trust with our bunny and ended up being able to give him some love (bunny is very nervous around new people)”

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.

About: I grew up around a variety of animals and had three cats during my childhood. Two passed away from old age, and one is still living with my mother, he’s very loved and well cared for. I’m comfortable with daily cat care tasks like litter box cleaning, feeding routines, and spending quiet time helping cats feel safe and relaxed. I also volunteered with the Humane Society of the Black Hills, where I gained experience administering medications to cats. As a nursing student, I’m attentive to details, follow instructions carefully, and feel confident supporting pets who need extra care.

About: I have been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember! I’ve taken care of many different species of animals! I fell in love with my first cat when I was 6 and ever since have loved having them around! I have pet sit friends and neighbors animals since i was around 8. I’m happy to help with any pet needs!

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.

“AJ watched our dog Lola for about 4 hours while our family enjoyed some attractions in the Southern Black Hills. AJ was responsive, accommodated all of our requests. Her property is well suited for dogs. AJ was home the entire time of Lola's stay, and it felt like Lola had a lot of attention during her stay. We'd definitely use AJ again for Doggy Day Care.”

Aaron S.

“We are so happy we found Susan! She is definitely a dog person. Our pup Barney is very active, and has his own unique personality. He is a Blue Heeler with lots of energy. Susan gave him lots of walks outside and lots of playtime. I would recommend Susan to anyone visiting the Black Hills area.”

Angie B.

“Margaret was great hosting our dog during the visit to Custer! Communication was smooth and she provided frequent updates with photos. Would definitely recommend”

About: I have been a dog owner/lover for the past 10 years. My experience extends to small dogs, large dogs, and reactive dogs. My property is 7 acre of quiet farm land in Hermosa. I have 2 dogs myself and they are very friendly and playful with other dogs. There would also be the option to keep our dogs separate if your baby is not comfortable with cohabitation. 1 acre fenced in yard as well as someone home at all times to let your baby out. I work in town on the weekdays but my partner works remotely meaning someone would be home at all times to let out the dogs. We have a 1acre fenced in yard the dogs can hang out in as well as plenty of space in the house. Dogs would be free to hang out in the house with no real restrictions unless otherwise stated by the owner.

About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own who are very friendly and playful. I can work with high energy or calmer/older dogs always taking the time to get to know them during our visits. I work full time but enjoy staying busy on my days off. Requests can be made for days I work as long as it is far enough out. I am in the process of gating my own front yard. Once completed I will accept daytime sitting at my own home. I am however willing to take your dog to any park you would like and approve of.

“Doreen took great care of our pup while we stayed in Wall and visited the great parks. We can't recommend her enough.”

Larry L.

“Nathan is phenomenal with Billy!! He not only takes him for walks but he helps him learn tricks and shows Billy all the attention he so craves. He is a puppy so patience is necessary and Nathan definitely has that. Nathan is great with communication as well, always letting me know how Billy is doing and if he sees that maybe something is off with Billy health wise. I definitely trust him to take great care of my pup. :)”

About: Experience. I am active and reliable! Looking to build client relationships and trust! New to Memphis, but not Tennessee. I am from Nashville, and just moved back to Tennessee after living in Laramie, Wyoming. I have a full time job and live a full life here. I hold a degree in Child and Family Studies with a minor in ASL from the University of Tennessee. I grew up with and around dogs all my life, specifically German Shepherds and Akita's. I do not know everything about dogs, but I want to know everything about your dog. Working with Rover is just a fun way to make new furry friends and get to know more people in Memphis. Being there for your pet while you're week got unexpectedly busy or you're away overnight provides relief for you and your furry family. Schedule. Currently working full time, but can be flexible for your pet. I can use my lunch break for walks and medications. I feel like this is something that is relative to each pets schedule and owners request. Safety and Trust. Your dog is family and will be treated as such. Unless I have specific directions or know that your pet is allowed to eat or do something not listed, it does not happen. We have fun while following the rules. Unless it is an EMERGENCY, your pet does not get in the car with me. I trust myself, I do not trust other drivers.

About: I have lived in households with pets my entire life as well as taken care of countless peoples animals while they have been busy or out of town. I go to the dog park just about every day and am well versed in how animals interact with each other and how to make them as comfortable as possible. I am back in the Black Hills until September when school starts up again for me! I am very free and would love to watch some pets of all kinds. I have my own dog and I can have them hang out or she can stay at home just as easily!! I care for all pets in my home and in others the same way, with love and respect. It’s incredibly important for the animals you are dealing with to trust you and I work to ensure that trust at all times.

About: I’ve had a dog named jewels who is with my mom for 12 years, I raised her and trained as a young girl and wanted to be a veterinarian, I am now a senior in college for psychology. I work three days a week and am very flexible with my schedule. I can do nights and days as well as later nights and early mornings. I treat animals like there my own children, I have a huge heart and I hope to share this will other pets and animals in my community

“Megan stepped in last minute and did a great job! Highly recommend.”

“Caitlin was super flexible when we traveled to the Black Hills and we had conflicts that wouldn’t allow dogs. She took great care of our beagle mix and was open to to the one-time walk and dog care. I would recommend her if you are traveling to Rapid City and need great short term care.”
