“Jayne (and her family) wer AMAZING! They readily helped us when we were in a bind. Throughout our dog's time there, she sent us pictures of him and kept us updated. The whole family treated him as their own. They even put out a stocking for him at Christmas! I cannot say enough good thyings about Jayne. I will DEFINITELY book with her again!”

“Melissa watched our golden doodle over Christmas and did a wonderful job! We got daily updates and pictures of him involved in their family activities. I have no doubt he got the care he needed. Highly recommend!”
“Melissa and her family where fantastic with our babies. Anna and Olaf looked to be very comfortable and loved. She updated us thought our vacation and we felt that she and her family welcomed our babies with such care. We will definitely be booking with her in the future. Thank you so much for the care you showed us, we appreciate you!”
“We highly recommend Anna! She sent pictures and updates so we knew our dog was happy and safe. Our dog warmed up to her family quickly and had a great stay. We will definitely be booking with Anna again in the future!”
“Deb took care of our Molly as like her own. We were happy to receive her notes and photos. She took great care for our Molly. When Deb saw a potential medical condition developing provided the intervention Molly needed. We were very grateful to have Deb care for our Molly”
“Lauren and Corey took great care of our pups and were great to work with. We have stubborn English bulldogs and we felt like they were in great hands the whole time. Thank you so much!”
“Paige was so friendly! She was an amazing communicator and sent us constant updates on how our ‘baby’ was doing. You can tell our dog was really loved on! I would definitely rebook with Paige!”
“Melissa‘s kindness, sincerity, and genuine warmth shine through from the moment you meet her. Her home has that same welcoming energy –comfortable safe and full of thoughtful touches. The meat-and-greet Melissa offered before the stay was generous and reassuring, and Copper, her pup, was the perfect host - basically the mayor of hospitality town! He welcomed Peanut like an old friend and immediately showed her around. Melissa was flexible, thoughtful, and attentive, and she sent photos and videos throughout Peanut’s stay that absolutely made my day. Peanut came home ready for a nap, content, and clearly well-cared for - the Holy Trinity of a perfect pup vacation! Copper even taught Peanut how to go down the stairs, which definitely deserves its own merit badge. I am grateful for people like Melissa who create a safe, honest, and welcoming space for visiting pups. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely caring home for their dog. You almost want to ask if she offers human boarding too. Melissa is agem – five stars, many tail wags, and a standing ovation from Peanut.”

“Michelle and her family have been a godsend to our family. Not only have their family been wonderful to work with, our dog gets treated just like family while there. Her son has even formed a special bond with our dog. I highly recommend her and we won't ever look back at doing the typical dog kennels again!”
“Christina was amazing with our young dog, she sent pics and texts letting us know how Hazel was doing. She had great communication and made us feel so comfortable while we were gone. Hazel enjoyed their large fenced in backyard and got along great with the other dogs. We have already booked Christina again for next time we leave town. I feel so grateful to have found such a great and trusted person to watch our puppy.”

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.
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!
“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!”

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!

“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!”
“Kacey welcomed my little Eevee girl with open arms into her home on short notice. She took very good care of Eevee, taking her on multiple walks and treating her as if she was family. We were on vacation camping, and Kacey provided a very relaxing day for my dog as we explored the many attractions Sioux Falls had to offer.”
“Mikayla was amazing with RJ. She communicated very well about the happenings with RJ. The daily pictures helped ease my mind that he really was on. Not that I ever had a doubt, but RJ does have an opinion of his own and will let you know all about it. Each day, he came home very tuckered out.”

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.

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 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.

I take them out to use the bathroom and clean up after them if need be.
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.

About: I offer a level of professional expertise that sets me apart from standard pet sitters: Veterinary Assistant Experience: Active clinical experience managing medical needs and safely administering all forms of medication. 4+ Years of Professional Daycare Care: Expert in canine body language, pack dynamics, and high-energy socialization. Lifetime Caregiver: Lifelong pet owner dedicated to treating your animal like family.From senior dogs requiring strict medical schedules to young, high-energy pups, your pet's safety and well-being are backed by professional, hands-on clinical experience.

Right now, I work full-time but have completely open nights for house sitting and evening check-ins. When my college semester begins, my only busy window is from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM on weekdays, leaving my mornings and afternoons completely free for your pets. On weekends, even when working, my schedule allows me ample time to drop in during the morning, mid-day, and night. Because your pet's routine is my priority, I easily plan my day around their specific feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is maintaining their exact routine while providing hospital-grade safety and observation. For house sitting, I treat your home with total respect and keep your pet stress-free in their familiar environment. For drop-ins and walks, I focus on heavy engagement, proper leash handling, and structured enrichment.

Being an avid animal lover family we will give your 4 legged family member a comfortable home away from home so you can enjoy your time away with no worries. ❤️ ❤️ I am a stay at home homeschool Mom so I am able to give your cute fur baby and or babies plenty of attention. :) I have a large yard and long tie-outs for plenty of yard play time. I also have an outdoor fenced kennel and a beautiful safe neighborhood for walks around the block.
About: Growing up on a farm, there were always plenty of animals that need love. Big ones and small ones. I've had small dogs like a dachshund and as large as a Doberman. I also have a special place in my heart for kitties. I am currently working part-time. My hours are generally 10-2, but I must be present for our noon meeting. I am working on starting to live a healthier life, I'd love to add fuzzy friends in the process! I would love to know all the details of your pets! Their favorite treats, toys, games.. all of it! I'm happy to let them play in the yard, go on a walk or even take them on an adventure! My boys are beyond spoiled and they know it. Some people go to the store and never leave without something for their child... that's me, except it's for the kitties!
