Candice did a great watching our dog while we went on vacation. This was my first time using Rover. Scheduling for drop off and pick up was very flexible. My "dog" also sent me pictures and updates throughout her stay. I'd recommend Candice and Cody if you're needing a safe and friendly place to board your pet.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and years of hands-on experience caring for them. I currently have two French Bulldogs and a Schnauzer, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and the daily care dogs need to feel comfortable and happy. Friends and family regularly trust me to dog sit because they know I treat every dog like my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog loves playtime, walks, or just relaxing and getting attention, I’m happy to match their routine and provide plenty of care and affection. I’m currently a college student on summer break, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. Because of this, I’m able to give dogs lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods of time. Caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love making sure they feel comfortable, active, and loved while their owners are away. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home. At my home, I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and spend time outside with supervision. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, so I’m happy to follow any instructions the owner provides, including feeding schedules, walks, crate routines, medications, playtime, or specific house rules. My goal is to make pets feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in good hands.

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)

My goal is to create a low-stress experience so both you and your cat can feel comfortable and confident during your time apart.

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: 18 Acres of Fun! Besides working in the veterinary field as a certified veterinary assistant, I’ve had dogs and cats since I started walking back home in Puerto Rico. I was always rescuing all kinds of critters in the streets and finding them new homes. Big animals, small animals, shy animals, hyper animals, you name it! I've assisted anywhere from births to surgery, administered medications, vitals etc. Your furry friends are in good hands with me. I live on a ranch, so they’ll have plenty of space to run and play around while I also love taking them with me to explore the Black Hills trails. I’m currently dedicating my time to farm life while I wait for school to start in the fall, so I have all my time available to dedicate myself to your furry friends. I have a big farm of 18 acres with plenty of space to exercise your pups, also have enclosed areas available to offer them a safe and comfortable environment during their stay. But like I mentioned, I have all my time available so your furry friends will receive all my attention all day ❤️ It’s the perfect environment to keep them happy and stimulated while you’re gone. -Will do walks/hikes -Provide pictures/videos -Plenty of kisses & cuddles -Beeping color available if requested

It was my first time using Rover as well as first time leaving my pup with a stranger but my nerves were quickly relieved to see how well my pup adjusted and got comfortable. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my Deuce ❤️

About: Love when the puppers know they’re going for a walk! The tail wags get me every time. I follow dietary restrictions as my border collie has them. I enjoy playing and walking with pets. Usually going over allotted time….unless otherwise noted by pet parent. I’m retired….I can help in a pinch! Last minute for vacationers if needed to enjoy all the beauty that is in the Black Hills!! We were in a real spot on vacation in Moab when a local walker cancelled the day before we needed them and Rover saved us! So now I’m here to help! I create a slow trust if needed. I will not rush the visit…usually walking or playing longer than scheduled visit just because I enjoy being with them. Praise and fun are what it’s all about!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of hands-on animal care experience and a genuine passion for animals. While attending college, I worked as a veterinary technician in both general practice and emergency care settings. Although this experience was several years ago, it provided me with valuable knowledge of animal behavior, safe handling techniques, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention or care. In addition to my veterinary experience, I have spent years caring for pets belonging to family and friends. My experience extends beyond dogs and cats to include horses, pet birds, chickens, and reptiles. At home, we have a spirited Silver Labrador, a Cavapoo who is my son's best friend, a cat, a horse, and a gecko that spends school breaks with us. Being surrounded by animals every day has helped me develop a strong understanding of their unique personalities, needs, and routines. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a senior needing extra patience and attention, or somewhere in between, I am committed to providing dependable, loving care tailored to their individual needs. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat your furry, feathered, or scaled family members with the same care and attention I give my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine. As a teacher currently on summer break, I have open availability and a flexible schedule to provide reliable care and attention for your pets. During the school year, I am available on weekends, school breaks, holidays, and evenings. I am committed to ensuring pets receive consistent, loving care and maintaining their routines while their owners are away. I believe pets are often happiest and most comfortable in their own home, where they can maintain their normal routines and familiar surroundings. For that reason, I prefer to provide care in my clients' homes whenever possible. I take the time to follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, medications, and plenty of attention and affection. If boarding in my home is needed, I have a securely fenced yard and a pet-friendly environment. My household includes two friendly dogs, a cat, and a classroom pet gecko. I carefully consider each pet's temperament and needs to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while in my home. My goal is always to provide a loving, low-stress experience that helps pets feel secure while their owners are away.

Jaden is wonderful. She came promptly to meet Oliver. She was familiar with the breed. She came the next day promptly and sent a message that all went well. My only regret was not being in her area to get to know her. She is so likable.

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.

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.

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.

Candice did a great watching our dog while we went on vacation. This was my first time using Rover. Scheduling for drop off and pick up was very flexible. My "dog" also sent me pictures and updates throughout her stay. I'd recommend Candice and Cody if you're needing a safe and friendly place to board your pet.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and years of hands-on experience caring for them. I currently have two French Bulldogs and a Schnauzer, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and the daily care dogs need to feel comfortable and happy. Friends and family regularly trust me to dog sit because they know I treat every dog like my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog loves playtime, walks, or just relaxing and getting attention, I’m happy to match their routine and provide plenty of care and affection. I’m currently a college student on summer break, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. Because of this, I’m able to give dogs lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods of time. Caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love making sure they feel comfortable, active, and loved while their owners are away. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home. At my home, I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and spend time outside with supervision. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, so I’m happy to follow any instructions the owner provides, including feeding schedules, walks, crate routines, medications, playtime, or specific house rules. My goal is to make pets feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in good hands.

I do have 2 dogs onsite but can keep them separate if needed. We live on 3 acres and walk our dogs every day! They are Family!
