“Melissa is absolutely fantastic!! We were new to Rover and we have a 7 month old puppy. We thought that no one would be willing to watch/take care of him while we were on vacation because he is still working on his potty training skills. Melissa welcomed us with open arms and took excellent care of our little Pip twice now. She sends us updates, pictures, videos and works with our time table on dropping off and picking up. We couldn’t be more happen with Pippen’s vaca-mom!”
“I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with Jayne and her family! He seemed happy when we left, and happy when we picked him up. I really appreciated the pics and updates Jayne sent. I highly recommend her!”
“This was our second stay with Krysten and her family. My dogs were so excited when they got out of the car and knew right away where we were and pulled me to the door. I know that I don't need to worry about my dogs when they are staying here.”
“Angi was great with our pups and they were happy and healthy! She sent a lot of pictures and videos, as well. She has a great property for the dogs to run around and they got along well with her dog. We will definitely use her again and again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Thank you so much for letting Lillie hang out with you while we were in town! Paige is great at communicating and so sweet, she took great care of our senior dog while we were visiting from out of state! We got pictures and updates throughout the day which was so appreciated.”
“Absolutely outstanding! We highly, highly recommend Sheila! The level of communication and the photos as well as the amount of time she spend with our dog went far beyond our expectations. We will definitely want to use her services again!”
“Tracy was great to work with, very compassionate about her duty as a sitter and made Hank feel loved and appreciated!! I also appreciated that she was understanding about me being late for pickup as I am just getting settled into a new environment. I hope and look forward to using her again in the future!! Her darling Stella who is as well a Yorkie was just a cute girl. We loved Tracy!”
“Chelsey was great and pretty flexible since I was out of state. I never had the chance to meet ahead of time because of my schedule, but I couldn’t be happier with how she treated me and my cat! Chelsey sent me nice updates and plenty of pictures over the week, which was especially nice over the holidays. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Josie watched our dog for four days while we were gone on vacation. She was in communication with us throughout our trip. She was flexible with drop off and pick up times. From the pics we received, our dog looked like she had a lot of fun playing and relaxing too. She has been sleeping since we got her home.😊 I would book Josie again.”
“Zach was great and put all my anxieties at ease!! Instantly knew my dog was in good hands with him. He updated me with pictures of my boy and his communication was great! Would 100% recommend him to anyone!”
“Deb is just the best sitter for my dog Pepe. She’s kind, caring, soft spoken, and he snuggles with her as if he were home! I feel so lucky to have found such an awesome caretaker for my little boo!😁🥰”
“Jamie took in our Finn like one of her own! He loved her dogs and got on great. She was very flexible on drop off and pick up with helped us as travel issues came up for us!”
About: I have grown up with high energy dogs. My family has always had dogs since I was a child. We treat dogs like family. We don't currently have any pets. We had two black lab mix dogs for 15 years. I will feed and let the dogs out in the morning. Dogs will be fed again in the afternoon. Dogs will be housed in the dog kennel in the garage overnight. There is a doggy door for dogs to access the backyard during the day. They will be locked inside the kennel and doghouse area in the garage overnight. I have a fenced in yard. Dogs will stay in the kennel in the garage with free access to the backyard through the doggy door during the day. The doghouse in the garage is insulated with a heat lamp during the winter. The dogs will be played with and receive attention from myself three times per day. I will take the dogs on a walk around the neighborhood once per day.
“Lauren was very flexible with pick up and drop of times. She sent videos and photos with updates. Pendleton had a great time and was definitely tired after having 2 nights of fun!!! I would highly recommend! The next time I need boarding in Sioux Falls I will definitely try booking with them again!!”
“They were super kind and approachable. We knew within a couple of minutes of meeting them that our kitties were in good hands. They kept us updated with how things were going and sent many pictures. We could see along the way that they didn't just do the basics for care, but also interacted with them as if they were there own pets. It was a great experience and we had no worries whatsoever.”

“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!”
“Zuri communicated about how our pup was doing. She gave a detailed report of all that they did and even sent photos. Her visit put us at ease and allowed us to be away for the day. Our pup is a high energy girl, but Zuri got along well with her!”
“Elain arrived promptly for the bathing and grooming appointment for my dog. She was very calm, confident, comfortable and and efficient with the bathing and blow dry. I will definitely continue to have her come regularly to bath and groom my long haired dogs. Highly recommended!”

About: I have been a nanny and dog sitter for 8+ years. I have experience with all sizes and ages of pets. I enjoy taking care and spending time with animals. I love getting to know their personalities. I am a freelance artist, my current schedule is pretty flexible. I open currently to new clients that are looking for drop in visits or walks. Since I have pets of my own, I am only open to walking and watching pets in their own home. I enjoy understanding animals and how to make them comfortable.
About: Cats have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand that cats have unique personalities and preferences, and I enjoy getting to know each one individually. Whether a cat loves attention or prefers their own space, I’m patient and respectful of their boundaries. I have experience with daily feeding, maintaining clean litter boxes, monitoring behavior and wellbeing, and keeping cats comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also familiar with caring for multiple cats at once and making sure each one gets the attention and care they need. As someone who has grown up with cats and currently cares for my own, I know how important it is to have a trustworthy person looking after them. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind.
“Cheyenne was awesome! She took great care of our babies and gave wonderful updates and communication was great. We were away for over two weeks and she did a great job keeping the boys happy! We even had to work through an issue with our door and with us being on a cruise we were hard to get a home of. She communicated with my family member in town to get the issue resolved. I don’t want to leave the boys again, but if we do, we for sure will reach out to her again!”
About: I have cared for cats since childhood and provide responsible, attentive care. I ensure your pets are safe, comfortable, loved, and well looked after while you are away, consistently always.
“Olivia was fantastic! She sent daily pictures, thorough updates and cleaned up any messes my cats made. She is so sweet and genuine. It’s always a little nerve wracking trying a new sitter for your animals but she made me feel at ease right away and I’d definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“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!”
“I cannot recommend Amanda more. If I could give her 10 stars I would. She goes above and beyond with her care. My cat Marge loved having her over to visit and was always cuddly and super excited to see her. Amanda was very accommodating and made sure Marge was getting the best care. She went out of her way to do different tasks and extra things for my cat even when we didn’t ask. Will definitely have Amanda back when we need care for our cat again. Amanda you’re the best!”
About: I am currently a licensed veterinary technician! I have always grown up owning pets (mainly cats), but I currently have 2 cats. I am an experienced pet owner. I have dog sit in the past and am able to work with many different breeds and temperaments. I am able to make stops before work, during my lunches, and after work. This generally consists of 6 am, 11-12, and sometime after 6pm. I take care of all of my pets according to their needs. It is based of their species, breed, and age requirements. Their dietary needs and supplements are always up to par for what they need to strive
About: I occasionally care for my brothers cat while he is out of town, and my friends have relied on me to care for their sweet cats when they couldn’t. I like to make sure the litter box(es) are clean at-least three times a week, make sure the house is clean, and the cat gets the best treatment with consistently full bowls!
“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 🙂”

About: Hi, I’m Sheila! I’ve been caring for animals since I was a child with experience ranging from dogs and cats to salamanders, turtles, and even a bit with birds. I've always had a critter near and dear throughout my life as a result! I’ve cared for a variety of dog breeds, including Great Pyrenees, German Shepherds, Jack Russell Terriers, Shi-Poos, Pitbulls, Aussies, Labs, and Retrievers—you name it! I’m experienced with puppies, having raised plenty, and I also have a soft spot for senior pets, including those needing medication and special care for conditions like seizures. I’m embracing a new opportunity and using this time to support my community in a meaningful way. Because of this, I have open availability almost every day of the week! I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and cared for when their owners are away. I take the time to understand each animal’s needs, build a connection, and create a space where they feel relaxed and loved—just like I would with my own pets.
“One of the VERY FEW people we trust to watch our pups.💛 Always quick to respond & is great with updates too! They love hanging with her pup & are always so excited when we pull up to her house!”
“Nyree Karina was able to accommodate day care fairly last minute for Sloane! She was very communicative, friendly, and sent many updates during Sloane’s stay!”
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.
“Jordan Thank you for the special love you give Sylbie when we leave her with you. She is anxious to start her day with you, which means allot to us as we know she is being well cared for and loved. Thank You!!! Terry”
About: I grew up with pets and love and respect them very much. We can learn a lot from them. I would love to make your pet feel safe. I work from home so your pet will always be with me and I like to give them a lot of attention. My schedule is very flexible. I make sure that your pet feels at home. I will follow your instructions to make your pet feel at home and I always hace extra snacks.
“We had a great experience! Melissa watched our dog for a few hours, and everything went smoothly. Communication was easy, she was friendly and reliable, and our dog was well cared for.”
“Absolutely fantastic!!! Her family took such good care of Oakley and sent updates often and was so accommodating and responsive. Oakley had the best time. Absolutely will be using again :)”
“Anna and her family are great! We used her daycare services while we had some work being done at our house and she was super flexible when we needed to adjust days last minute. Anna takes such good care of our pup, I highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! I’m Chelsey — an interior designer by day with a lifelong soft spot for animals. If I hadn’t found my calling in design, I truly believe I would have pursued veterinary medicine. Animals have always been part of my world. I grew up around both cats and dogs and have over 15 years of experience pet-sitting for friends, family, and clients. My home is a very calm, grounded space, so I’m best suited for low to moderate-energy pets who enjoy a slower pace, gentle walks, and lots of presence. My puppy Nova plays well with other dogs and I'd love to have friends over for her during the day as I work from home with a close eye! Spending time with animals feels genuinely nourishing to me, and caring for yours would be something I do with a lot of intention and love. Because my home has carpet and an Airbnb guest suite above me, I’m best matched with pets who are past the puppy stage to teach mine good manners lol, are house-trained, and not prone to frequent barking — especially in response to normal household sounds like people walking. Creating a peaceful environment is important to me and helps pets feel relaxed and secure while they’re here. I enjoy walking in all seasons, maintaining consistent routines, and creating a space where animals feel safe, calm, and cared for. While you’re away, you can rest easy knowing your pet will be treated as if they’re my own. Caring for your animal would truly be my pleasure 🤍 — Chelsey Aside from Mondays being 9-hour days at work, I am home the majority of the week which is perfect for walks, attentiveness and allowing potty breaks in my fenced backyard. For boarding and daycare, I provide a calm, consistent routine so pets feel safe and settled. I follow your pet’s normal feeding schedule while offering plenty of companionship, gentle movement, and rest. My home is best suited for low to moderate-energy pets, and I adjust activities based on their needs to keep them comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for. :)
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
“Emily and her pups were amazing sitters for our boy Sonoma today! We were nervous about leaving him with someone for the first time but after chatting with Emily and meeting her and her 2 dogs for a few minutes the day before the planned sitting…we were totally confident that he was in good hands. Emily is such a kind hearted person with a genuine love for dogs and it shows in her care for her own. Sonoma immediately warmed up to her and the 3 puppies were able to have a great time together. She was considerate of our routine/habits and sent pictures all day long, which we were so thankful to have! Sonoma didn’t want to leave Emily’s house and even sat in protest on her porch. We would absolutely love/plan to use Emily again and would recommend her to anyone looking for fantastic care in Paradise!”
About: I would love to take care of your fur babies in our ‘pups paradise’! I live just a few minutes West of Sioux Falls on 20 acres! There is plenty of room for your fur babies to run, play & enjoy some time in the country! I have tons of experience caring for critters of all ages… from young to elderly… low energy to tons of energy…. and the super social to not so social. I love them all! I am currently working from home which allows me the opportunity to take extra special care of your four-legged family members. This includes time outside & plenty of play time! I have a very large, fenced backyard where your pups can run and play! Whether they are social and enjoy playing with others or appreciate a little more solitude, I can adjust the space to meet their needs and keep them safe & comfortable while you’re away!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so caring for them has always felt completely natural to me. When I was younger, I fostered puppies, and as I got older I even went through therapy dog training, where I learned unique skills in reading dog behavior, building trust, and keeping pups calm in new situations. Now I dog‑sit and love your puppies when you can’t be there. I’ve watched dogs for many of my neighbors, and they’ve been so happy with the care I give that they often recommend me to their friends and family. I’d love to meet your furry best friend next! I’m currently taking time off from working to focus on college, which allows me to treat caring for your pet as my full‑time priority. Their schedule, their needs, and their comfort come first, and I’m fully dedicated to being there for them every step of the way. In order to provide the highest level of care, I like to meet with pet owners beforehand to learn their pet’s routines, preferences, and any special needs. Once I understand their daily rhythm, I follow those routines closely to ensure consistency, comfort, and safety. My goal is always to protect and care for your pets to the best of my ability.
About: I have my own fur babies of 5 cats and one 16 year old dog. House is a little chaotic but loving and caring. Each animal has their own needs and I provide them with everything in the world and more. Anything that will work around my college schedule will be most beneficial. Part time jobs can be hard in this economy especially with 18 credit hours this semester. Being able to cuddle and hangout with animals while I can maintain school work sounds like a blast. Your pets are not just pets but they are your babies. I will take care of them like I take care of my own fur babies. They will become one of my fur babies while I take care of them. My pets get their medicine on time, fed on time, and always have water available. Litter boxes get cleaned regularly to keep up with odors.
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life and currently have one of my own, along with experience caring for guinea pigs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach that dogs naturally gravitate toward. I have experience administering medication, handling reactive dogs, and providing long, engaging walks tailored to each dog’s needs. I’m highly detail-oriented and committed to following your pet’s routine closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I also prioritize quick, clear communication, so you’ll always feel informed and at ease while you’re away. I work full-time from home in Sioux Falls, which allows me to provide a calm, consistent environment and give pets attention throughout the day. While I’m typically working until 6 PM Monday through Friday, I’m able to incorporate check-ins into my day as my work schedule is flexible. Before and after work, I dedicate time to walks, play, feeding, and any specific care your pet needs. My evenings are relaxed and centered around making sure pets feel comfortable, exercised, and settled. On weekends, I have more flexibility for longer walks, extra playtime, and maintaining your pet’s routine. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to maintaining your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure in their familiar environment. I’m experienced with administering medication, handling reactive dogs, and adjusting care for puppies or senior pets as needed.
“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: 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: 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 going to be doing rover full time so I'll always have availability for your pets. Also I'm 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: 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’m an almost empty nester who truly loves animals and am looking to fill my time doing something meaningful. I work from home, which allows me the flexibility to provide house sitting, dog walking or drop-in visits as needed. I grew up surrounded by animals and have experience caring for cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, and even goats. Because of that background, I’m comfortable with both small and large animals and understand that each one has its own personality and needs. I’m also a former travel club ball mom, so I completely understand how stressful it can be to make arrangements for your pets and home while you’re away. I know how important it is to have someone reliable, communicative, and trustworthy taking care of your home and/or pets. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for in your absence. I can also bring in mail, bring garage to the curb and water plants while you are away. I’m able to offer in-home pet and house sitting or flexible drop-in visits while keeping pets on their normal routines and not left alone for long periods of time. I can care for smaller caged pets in my home but will care for dogs, cats etc in your home because I have pets of my own.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover who's been around big dogs my entire life, so I'm comfortable with pups of all sizes and personalities. I genuinely love spending time with dogs—whether that means long walks, playtime, or giving lots of belly rubs and attention. As a nurse, I'm dependable, attentive, and always put safety first. I'll care for your pup like they're my own and make sure they have a fun, happy, and stress free experience! 🐾🤍 I’m a full time nurse but am free 4/7 days of the week! Love taking care of all dogs !! Used to random hours (early or late) so whenever needed! For everyone's safety and comfort, I provide care in your home and neighborhood rather than my own. I'm happy to come to your home for walks, drop-in visits, and plenty of playtime, so your pup can stay comfortable in their familiar environment while receiving the attention and care they deserve. :)
About: We always had dogs growing up, mostly big boys, but I do love any sized dog! I had so many dogs grow to elderly age that I’m well experienced with all stages of animal life. I have no official training but I have trained plenty of our own dogs growing up. Let me help you feel stress free while someone watches your babies! I work a 8-5 job so and have some flexibility when it comes to your pets needs! Whatever time or day you need, I just need a brief heads up and I can assist in taking care of your pet! I’m a firm believer of leaving a space better than you left it. While I can’t offer services in my own home (I have two cats who came from an unfortunate situation and don’t play well with others unfortunately) but I will make it seem like the only trace of me in your space is your pet being well taken care of!
“We have been using Zach to walk our dog for the past couple months. Very respectful, polite, and keeps me updated with all the bookings. Excellent at responding and extremely trustworthy. We will continue to book- very happy customers!! :)”
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.
About: Hi I’m Josie! :) Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them genuinely makes my heart happy. I’m home full-time so I have a flexible schedule & can provide a safe environment where dogs can feel comfortable, relaxed, and at ease. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, playful, or prefers a slower pace, I’ll tailor their care to their individual needs and routine. My goal is to provide a high-quality, hands-on, personalized experience where your pup is loved, engaged, and treated like family- not just watched while you’re away. Whether we’re playing in the yard, going for a walk, or just relaxing together, I strive to make every visit meaningful! Because I’m home throughout the day, dogs get lots of supervision, attention, outdoor time, affection, play, and enrichment. 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. 😊 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. If I host multiple dogs, it’s only when all owners are comfortable with it and the dogs are a good fit. Otherwise, your pups will receive my full attention and care. 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.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and love them to death! I enjoy caring for animals or even just keeping them entertained while their humans are away! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I work in healthcare, so I value responsibility, reliability, and keeping a consistent schedule. On my days off and outside of work hours, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks.I’m happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their pet’s routine and needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, or just some extra company, I make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for someone’s pet. I always make sure to follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, comfort level, and any special needs they may have. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I pay close attention during walks, keep pets securely leashed when needed, and make sure doors and gates are always properly closed. I also believe communication is very important, so I am happy to send updates and photos to keep owners informed and give them peace of mind while they are away.
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life and have been doing pet sitting for friends and family since I can remember. I seem to connect with pets better than a humans :😊 I have never met a pet I don’t love or love me back. Your furry family members will be in her best hands and ger a lot of love and attention when you are away. I work two part time jobs 9-1pm 4-8/9pm 5 days a week sometimes the days vary. I go to the gym 3-5 days a week I hang out with my little sister twice a week when my schedule allows. I am hoping to return to collage next fall for Vet Tech. My days and schedules are pretty flexible. I live down town Sioux Falls in a studio with my cat, kiwi! I have a reliable car and can get to your home wing no worries

“Melissa is absolutely fantastic!! We were new to Rover and we have a 7 month old puppy. We thought that no one would be willing to watch/take care of him while we were on vacation because he is still working on his potty training skills. Melissa welcomed us with open arms and took excellent care of our little Pip twice now. She sends us updates, pictures, videos and works with our time table on dropping off and picking up. We couldn’t be more happen with Pippen’s vaca-mom!”
