“Melissa was great! Waylon had a wonderful time while I was gone. She sent pictures and videos of him everyday. She was super flexible and was very happy to take him for the weekend! Absolutely recommend!”
“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 is awesome! I highly recommend her as a pet sitter. My dog loved his home away from home. He was able to be on the furniture and sleep in bed with people. Which kept his home routine the same at her house.”
“Hazel and Stella had a great stay with Krysten and her family. We appreciated the pictures and updates she sent. We’d definitely have our girls stay with them in the future!”
“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!”
“Elizabeth treated our two dogs like they were her own! I appreciate her taking care of them while we were away! They had tons of room to run around and wear out some much needed energy! She updated me often and made sure the boys were well taken care of! We would definitely have them stay 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!”
“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!”
“Anna was fantastic! We received photos and daily updates and could see our pup was happy and well taken care of. Her home is the perfect set up for Harley with a fenced in back yard to play and to keep her safe. In the past, Harley is known for ignoring us for awhile whenever we get home from trips, but not this time, so we know she was well taken care of and loved. We will use Anna again and again. We highly recommend her!!”
“Very happy with this booking! Perfect amount of communication and definitely felt like my pup was loved while she was there for sure! Will definitely book again in the future!”
“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.”
“Shayla took excellent care of my dog, Sadie. She has a beautiful big fenced yard where Sadie and her dog played together. Every day, Shayla sent me texts with pictures and an explanation of how Sadie was doing. That was very thoughtful of her. I know Sadie will love to go back there 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!”
“Pup loved his time there! He actually seemed torn - go home, or stay with the fun sitter! He can be quite a handful, but they seemed to love him! Definitely going to be a return customer!”
“Was in a bind coming into the last few days and they helped me out. It was just a few hour visit but Melah enjoyed herself. I received photos a few times and Melah came home exhausted!!! Thank you so so so much!”
“This was my first time using Rover and/or boarding our cat. Maria was so kind and thoughtful with answering all my questions and giving updates! Every picture she sent really showed how comfortable my cat was getting and that she was making sure to give him love and attention. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone.”
“Amazing caretaker for our dog. So attentive and caring. We always hated leaving our dog at a big kennel since there was so much less direct attention. This was a fantastic experience, especially because of Amber and Calissa.”
“Christina and her family were the ABSOLUTE BEST! They took such good care of my fur babies while away on a trip! Taking care of two high energy dogs is no easy thing to do and my expectations for this rover stay were exceeded. The daily updates left me feeling at peace knowing my dogs were being loved on while I was away. Would most definitely trust Christina with the care of my dogs again.”
“My dog had a blast at Marnie and Jeffery's place! Iggy loved their dogs and family members. Marnie sent me photos every day and I felt great knowing she was well-cared for. This was the first time I used Rover and I was a little anxious, but this was an excellent experience. I would definitely go with this family again, they're awesome!”

“Elizabeth was wonderful! She was so friendly and communicative about when she would check in, and she sent photos to update us. She gave our fur babies lots of attention and love. We will absolutely ask her to cat-sit again if we need to! Thanks again, Lizzie!”
About: As far back as I can remember, my family always had at least one dog/cat, each one of them holding a special place in my heart. I, now, am a proud dog parent of two Blue Heelers, Izzy and Brutus. I love every kind of dog and cat. I have experience with elder dog care and puppy care. I have a job where I work Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday. All 12 hour days. So, I would be completely booked up on those days. The other days I would be incredibly happy to spend time with your little loved one! I would make sure to have clear and open conversations with you about your animals throughout the day/night. I can give updates on when they go to the bathroom. I can, also, send pictures of them.
“Maria was so sweet to our cat, Luna. Luna will miss her till they meet again. She took very good care of Luna, fed, petted, combed, cleaned the litter box and played with Luna. I got a detailed report cards every day. She watered my plants too to keep them alive. I am immensely satisfied and grateful for her help while we were gone for the vacation.”
“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!”
“a wonderful sitter with a great amount of care put into her work! followed care instructions perfectly. would leave my baby in her care again! good picture updates and detailed notes were left for every visit.”
“Lori continues to be a fantastic petsitter. My very picky and scaredy cat likes her in a way that’s incredibly rare. She’s also great with the medications my other cat needs.”
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.
“Our kitties love Olivia and so do we! Always going the extra mile to make sure they are loved when we are gone! We are thankful for her updates and that she spends one on one time with them. She’s a 10!”
“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: Every pet deserves care as special as they are. As a dog mom of two (& cat mom of 1!) I understand the importance of finding someone you can truly trust with your best friend. ❤️ I’m reliable, punctual, and committed to following your pet’s routine exactly as you outline it. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a game of fetch, a slower stroll, or simply some company & cuddles, I’ll tailor their care to their individual needs. I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs with additional medical and mobility needs. My own dogs have required surgery recovery care, medications, joint supplements, and ongoing management of medical conditions. I’ve also cared for dogs with arthritis and mobility limitations who need extra time outside and special consideration around the home. I’m comfortable following medication schedules, recovery instructions, potty routines, and other care instructions you provide. Your pet’s food and treats will always be given according to your instructions, and I’m never afraid of a little cleanup if accidents happen! 🐾 During visits, your pet gets my full attention for the entire service, along with photo updates so you can see how they’re doing. And if your pup stays with me, they’ll have a loving, social environment with my two friendly dogs and plenty of opportunities for play, exercise, and relaxation. Most importantly, I want you to feel confident that your pet is receiving thoughtful, dependable care while you’re away. I pride myself on my communication with all pet parents! Every dog is different, and I’m happy to work with you to make their care feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. I work full time Monday - Friday day hours but have a flexible job where I can make walks or drop in’s work out during a lunch break or after my shift during the week. Saturdays & Sundays I’m free to schedule if I’m open! I’m detail oriented & love to stick to your routine exactly as you lay it out for me! Our pets all deserve to feel comfortable and safe in their own home regardless of who visits. I’m patient and loving and want your pet to feel secure before we jump into the visit.
About: I’ve always loved cats and understand that every one has a unique personality. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or prefers their own space, I’ll make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m happy to provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, playtime, cuddles (if they want them!), and plenty of photo updates so you can have peace of mind. I’ll always follow your cat’s routine and treat them like they’re my own.
About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with extensive experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and needs. For six years, I fostered dogs ranging from tiny puppies to senior and special-needs dogs, giving me a deep understanding of different temperaments and care requirements. I also volunteered with the Humane Society for five years, including three years on the Board of Directors, which strengthened my commitment to animal welfare. At home, I currently have three dogs—a small, medium, and giant breed (English Mastiff!)—so I’m comfortable with everything from gentle companions to big, energetic pups. Your dog will be cared for with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I’ve structured my schedule specifically to be available for lunchtime drop-ins and walks during the week. This allows me to give dogs a reliable midday break when their owners can’t make it home. I also keep my weekends fully open, so I can provide flexible care, extra visits, or longer walks as needed. Caring for animals is a natural part of my daily life, and I’m happy to build my routine around giving pets the attention and consistency they deserve. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow your routine as closely as possible to keep your dog comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they get fresh water, a potty break, and any feeding or medications they need. I take the time to give them attention, playtime, and reassurance so they feel relaxed and safe while you’re away. I’m careful to respect your home, follow all instructions you provide, and keep things clean and tidy. I also send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to provide calm, consistent care that helps your pet feel secure in their familiar environment.
“Matt was very attentive and went above and beyond while he cared for my two large dogs. It was a relief to know that my dogs were in good hands while I was away for a week. I would not hesitate to rebook with Matt in the future or refer him to friends and family in need of pet sitting services.”

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 enjoyed all the photo updates and I felt at ease knowing they were in good hands feeling safe and loved and getting the exercise they needed!”
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: 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.

About: Hello there! My name is Mary and I have been caring for dogs for more than 30 years and have owned dogs continuously since childhood. As a current dog mom to both a Mini Australian Shepherd and a Cavapoo puppy, I understand that every dog has unique needs, energy levels, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for energetic dogs who need exercise and engagement, as well as dogs who prefer a slower pace. My experience includes puppies, adult dogs, daily walks, feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, and providing lots of attention and affection. In my professional career, I’ve worked in healthcare for over a decade, where reliability, communication, and attention to detail are essential. I bring those same qualities to pet care and will treat your dog as if they were my own. I know how hard it is to leave your dog with someone else, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos to help you feel connected and confident while you’re away. I work full-time in healthcare Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with an early finish at 1:00 p.m. on Thursdays. My consistent schedule allows me to provide dependable pet care after work, as well as additional availability on Thursday afternoons and weekends. I am organized, reliable, and committed to ensuring pets receive attentive, loving care while their owners are away. As a dog owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to place your pet in someone else’s care. I will treat your dog like one of my own, making their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. During walks, I stay attentive to our surroundings, use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid unsafe situations, and adjust our pace based on your dog’s age, energy level, and needs. I pay close attention to body language and signs of stress, fatigue, or overheating, especially during warmer weather. Whether your pup loves adventure or prefers a leisurely stroll, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved every step of the way. I’ll also keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while your furry family member is with me.

“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: 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 ;)
“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: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I work from home full time. This gives me the flexibility to be there for your pup throughout the day while still managing my workload responsibly. Your dog will enjoy having someone around to give them attention, playtime, and the personal care they deserve! Working from home makes pet care easy for me to fit in, since I can handle walks, feeding, and playtime during breaks while still giving the pets constant supervision without disrupting my work. I live in a house with a backyard where I can comfortably host pets and provide a safe, welcoming environment. Dogs have the freedom to enjoy the backyard throughout their stay, giving them space to play, explore, and get some fresh air. I’m also able to provide walks, potty breaks, and plenty of attention to help them feel comfortable and at home. I’m flexible and always prioritize clear communication with owners to ensure their pets receive the care they need.

I know dog CPR, am willing to admister oral medication, bathe your dog and brush as well. Basically, I will treat your dog like a member of my family as he/she is a member of yours. This isn't a full-time service for me, but I am willing to give 110% to taking care of your family member. I do prefer at least a 12 hour notice for any cancelation. I am also 100% committed to your directions as to how to care for your family member. My schedule is completely open to Rover services. If Rover services are needed overnight, I just ask for a 8-12 hours notice. The love for animals is always a priority in my daily routine. I live directly next to several parks and have a friendly support of my own. I love to play frisbee at the several open parks next to my home & where I run with my own dog on a leash.
About: I have experience dealing with dogs with special needs and dogs of all ages. I am also reliable, communicate well, and have a genuine love for dogs! I currently work part time so I have both time before and after work to be able to walk your dog. I have very flexible time. Whether at my place or yours, pets get lots of love and attention! I make sure they're comfy, safe, and sticking to their regular routines.
About: Hi, my name is Ana! I don't think there has ever been a time in my life when I haven't had dogs, which is why I truly believe your pet deserves to be cared for like they are part of the family. I have two dogs of my own, Ziggy and Porky, who love dogs of all sizes and even cats! They are always ready to make a new friend and have some fun. If your pet is older, more independent, or simply isn't interested in playing with other dogs, that's completely okay! Ziggy and Porky are great about giving dogs their space when they need it. I'll make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while still getting the exercise, attention, and activity that's appropriate for them. My goal is for your pet to feel at home, have fun, and receive the same patience and care I would want for my own dogs. My availability: Drop in visits: 8am-1:00pm Walks: 8am-1:00pm House sitting: any day * if your dogs are unfriendly with other dogs I’m only available Friday-Sunday Ziggy, porky, and I frequently go on walks to different parks. We travel quite frequently and are always checking different areas out. If you have a preferred area we go that’s ok!

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: I've provided pet services and pet/house sitting for a small group of people I've known and been referred to. I've been wanting to expand my clientele, as I have a lot to offer. Although I consider it to be a small side gig, I like to refer to my business affectionately as "No Place Like Home". I have 20 plus years experience, including managing a dog day care for two years. It also includes working with special needs, administering medication orally and through injections. I have references as well as my own personal experience with my cat. I am energetic and can keep up with even the most active dogs. They are my passion. Not only that, pet sitting in your house creates a calmer and safer environment for your pets, as well as keeping your home safe and occupied. I am semi retired. I have a lot of time to spend with your pets in your home ensuring several potty breaks, play and exercise. I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I follow instructions left by the owner and will ensure play and exercise

“Melissa was great! Waylon had a wonderful time while I was gone. She sent pictures and videos of him everyday. She was super flexible and was very happy to take him for the weekend! Absolutely recommend!”
“Hazel and Stella had a great stay with Krysten and her family. We appreciated the pictures and updates she sent. We’d definitely have our girls stay with them in the future!”
“Elizabeth treated our two dogs like they were her own! I appreciate her taking care of them while we were away! They had tons of room to run around and wear out some much needed energy! She updated me often and made sure the boys were well taken care of! We would definitely have them stay again!”
“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!”
“Anna was fantastic! We received photos and daily updates and could see our pup was happy and well taken care of. Her home is the perfect set up for Harley with a fenced in back yard to play and to keep her safe. In the past, Harley is known for ignoring us for awhile whenever we get home from trips, but not this time, so we know she was well taken care of and loved. We will use Anna again and again. We highly recommend her!!”
“Very happy with this booking! Perfect amount of communication and definitely felt like my pup was loved while she was there for sure! Will definitely book again in the future!”
“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.”
“Shayla took excellent care of my dog, Sadie. She has a beautiful big fenced yard where Sadie and her dog played together. Every day, Shayla sent me texts with pictures and an explanation of how Sadie was doing. That was very thoughtful of her. I know Sadie will love to go back there 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!”
“Pup loved his time there! He actually seemed torn - go home, or stay with the fun sitter! He can be quite a handful, but they seemed to love him! Definitely going to be a return customer!”
“Was in a bind coming into the last few days and they helped me out. It was just a few hour visit but Melah enjoyed herself. I received photos a few times and Melah came home exhausted!!! Thank you so so so much!”
“Amazing caretaker for our dog. So attentive and caring. We always hated leaving our dog at a big kennel since there was so much less direct attention. This was a fantastic experience, especially because of Amber and Calissa.”
“Christina and her family were the ABSOLUTE BEST! They took such good care of my fur babies while away on a trip! Taking care of two high energy dogs is no easy thing to do and my expectations for this rover stay were exceeded. The daily updates left me feeling at peace knowing my dogs were being loved on while I was away. Would most definitely trust Christina with the care of my dogs again.”
“My dog had a blast at Marnie and Jeffery's place! Iggy loved their dogs and family members. Marnie sent me photos every day and I felt great knowing she was well-cared for. This was the first time I used Rover and I was a little anxious, but this was an excellent experience. I would definitely go with this family again, they're awesome!”
“She did absolutely great job with pumpkin, she communicate with me often and send me bunch of pictures every time, definitely would recommend for anyone to leave the pet with”
“Justin was the best! My dog has severe separation anxiety and Justin made sure he was well monitored and accommodating to his special needs. He was even accommodating our delayed flights. I cannot recommend Justin enough and will be sure to use him again in the future.”
“We left our dog and cat for about 4 days for a vacation out of town, and when we got back, they seemed to miss the sitter more than they missed us. 5 Stars! We received daily updates about their care along with photos of our babies. Ashley was wonderful caring for them, giving us peace of mind while we enjoyed our vacation. We are already considering booking again for our next trip!”
“Debra was incredible! She was so sweet and accommodating. She was able to work with my schedule and went out of her way to make my life easier. She has great experience with cats and dogs alike. I could not recommend her more highly!”
