“Jessica was very friendly kept me updated about my dog the entire time my dog was there ! Really nice of her to take my dog on a short notice ! I would recommend her and will be using her once back in Rapid City”
“This was our first time using Rover and we had the absolute best experience! Ali was wonderful, our pups were so happy. They ran and played and swam and had the best vacation. She loved on them like they were her own and sent photos and videos throughout the day. Ali was also super accommodating with drop off and pick up times, she very responsive and friendly. I would absolutely recommend Ali and we will definitely be using her again.”
“Brooke was able to watch our girls on short notice for a funeral weekend. She does this full-time so lots of pups around for my girls to play with. Response time and communication was A+. Looking forward to another stay with her.”
“We got so many pictures and videos of our dog while we were away! Caroline and Alena did a great job, even with a dog that is as high energy as ours. Will definitely be coming back!”
“Mary provided top-tier care for my cat at her home! She made the entire process seamless with incredibly easy drop-off and pick-up routines.While I was away, she was highly responsive to messages and regularly sent wonderful picture updates, which gave me total peace of mind. It was clear my pet felt safe, comfortable, and completely at home with her. I highly recommend Mary and will definitely book her again!”
“5 STARS for Ariel, who provided extraordinary TLC for my rescued pup. She went the extra mile to provide daily photos and updates of his play time. She even let him sleep with her. She took him everywhere, including on a tour to see the neighborhood Christmas lights. I'd give her 10 stars, if that were possible.”
“Snyder loves going to Brittany’s. For me, I am just so grateful for her and the service she provides for us! It is always hard to leave my furball, but it is such a comfort knowing he is in a place with such care and love! Love the pics and the way Brittany communicates!!”
“Gianna was wonderful with our dog Emmet! She watched him for three nights and was fantastic about communicating—she sent regular updates, photos, and videos, which really put our minds at ease. Emmet seemed to have a great time exploring, playing, and even going on hikes! While there’s no fenced yard, Gianna has plenty of space for dogs to run and play, and she kept a close eye on him—using a tie-out when needed to keep him safe. We’d absolutely trust her with Emmet again. Highly recommend!”
“Talon and the fam did a wonderful job. They took good care of our pup during our vacation and really helped ease our anxiety of leaving him. Sent lots of updates and was very communicative! Will definitely be reaching out again!”
“I recently left my 2 yo dog, Wilson, in the care of Hector and his sister for 10 days while I was traveling abroad, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Hector provided good care, love and attention. I received regular updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was overseas. It's clear that Hector and his family are true dog lovers, and I highly recommend his service to anyone in need of a reliable and caring host. 5 stars ⭐️!”
“Jaiden was so great and welcoming to Loki! She was so nice and sent adorable pictures. Loki got along well with her dog, and came back happy and tired. We are just traveling through, but would definitely use her again if we are in the area!”
“Maria took care of our Australian Shepard over Thanksgiving for a week and was quick to answer questions and sent us photos everyday. Our dog had a blast hanging out with her dog everyday and we will definitely be using her again.”
About: My daughter Trenna and I grew up with dogs and cats and we love all their different personalities and they bring so much joy to our lives. When you get a dog it’s a commitment. They are our kids. I am looking for a partime job. What a fun opportunity to do something I love. I have three dogs/kids myself. I can’t wait to get home from work and. see their wiggly tails. They don’t care what kind of day you just had, they just want to love on you. When I am home they are wherever I am. During the day they are in their kennels. Two of them are not even 2 yet so they like their toys.
“As a repeat client, I highly recommend Susan. I'm totally at ease leaving Chili in Susan's care. Chili was excited when we arrived at Susan's house. Off Chili went for a walk with Susan. It was great to see Chili in the photos and video Susan sent me during the stay. I'll definitely book another stay for Chili.”
About: I have grown up with dogs, owned (and currently own) a dog, and absolutely LOVE them as my own. We have an enclosed dog run with a dog door onsite. They are spoiled beyond measure and treated better than a family member. I have a flexible work schedule which allows me to spend quality time with your pet! I am available on weekends and holidays, as well as weekdays depending on notice. I have a fenced in dog run with a dog door. I can easily crate your dog if that is helpful to his/her routine. 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!

“This was Cecilia and Kiya's first time meeting. I think it went pretty well. Kiya is a bit of a nervous cat and will stay away until she knows you better. She also has to have medicine every other day and sometimes is hard to catch. She likes having someone in the house all the time so me being gone stresses her. I think the second day Kiya actually played a little with Cecilia and wanted to be petted. Hopefully the next time I have to be gone things will be even better.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am so happy that I found the app. Nathan was fantastic! He came several days before our booking date to meet our three cats, Lucky, Squeak, and Caramel. Our cats took to him right away, so I knew he was going to be our sitter. I enjoyed the daily pictures of our cats and they looked so content. Nathan will definitely be our sitter the next time we need one. Thanks Nathan for a fantastic job!!! Jo Anne Pullins”
“Arianne was great with our boy Carbon. It was his first time spending a night without me or my husband present since we got him 3+ years ago, and she made sure that it wasn't a bad experience for him. We definitely went overboard when it came to providing information about him, but Arianne was able to handle it all without issue. 6/5.”
“Ronda always takes such great care of our kitty. Always appreciate her flexibility and Nola clearly loves the attention! Highly recommend Ronda for excellent cat sitting!”
“Wonderful as always! Was able to visit family for the holidays and know my babies and home were in great hands. Great visit notes and pictures every drop-in. Our cats definitely trust Shelby and love her visits!”
“First time trying rover and was skeptical at first but it didn’t disappoint me. Vannessa is very reliable, friendly, and very communicative! Will definitely rebook again :)”
“Five stars! Jaiden was absolutely lovely helping me understand the Rover process. My cat came back relaxed and happy! She was an absolute lifesaver in this heat. Would 100000% book again and highly recommend.”
“I couldn't of been more grateful to find Chelsea to take care of Butter and Waffles like they were her own! She made sure to give consistent updates and follow their quirky needs/schedule that put my mind to ease. I could tell my kitties were really happy with her care! ☺️ She has such a genuine heart and made sure to leave my home better than when we left which was also SO nice to come back to after a long international flight. She really went above and beyond, I would definitely book with her again! ?”
About: While I’m newer to caring for cats, I’m excited to provide them with the same love, patience, and attentive care that I give every animal. I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to check in multiple times throughout the day, giving your cat plenty of attention, fresh food and water, litter box care, playtime (if they enjoy it!), and companionship. As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member behind. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your cat is in loving hands.
“Amanda always does an amazing job of checking in on my cat and keeping an open line of communication. Amanda is very flexible and is always just a call or text away. As always, I would recommend Amanda!”
“Gabbie was gracious when we learned our flight home would likely be canceled due to a blizzard. She took my thoughts on what to do for feeding incase she couldn’t travel due to weather later in the day. We got a River card every day. Our friendly cat loved her! Our house key was left as discussed. The cats were happy and the house was as we left it.”
“Mary was fantastic and took very good care of my cat, Romeo. I was gone a week and Mary was great. She communicated with me while I was gone and sent me pictures. His litter box was clean and he was a happy cat. Thanks, Mary!”
“Jetaime is a wonderful and dependable sitter. I have two cats and Jetaime took good care of them. High regards and the best recommendation! I will be working with Jetaime in the future.”

“I believe Bodhi loved his time with Brittany, despite being ready to leave when I picked him up (he has seperation anxiety). I'm looking forward to Bodhi becoming more and more comfortable with her when I use her again for boarding :)”
“We were in Rapid City to see Mount Rushmore and left our dog with Caroline and Alena for the day. She had room to run and even did some cultural enrichment (art) which we got to keep! I received updates throughout the day and my dog came home happy and exhausted! I would highly recommend whether you are passing through or in the Rapid City area looking for someone to take care of your pup!”
“My dog liked Jessica right away. He is a nervous dog, but was not nervous around her and he was happy when we picked him up. Jessica was very helpful and didn't mind introducing my dog to her cats and seeing how he was with them. Great experience!”
“We left our beloved dog Eddie with Linda while we went to the Badlands (because dogs aren't allowed on trails in national parks!) and she was welcoming and excited to have Eddie spend the day with her. He was happy and tired when we picked him up. Thanks Linda - it was reassuring to have you watch Eddie that day.”
“Susan was great with our dachshund while we visited the Black Hills. We dropped him off each morning and he was so excited when we turned up the drive - because he knew he was going to Susan’s. It is evident that she loves dogs the way she interacted with ours.”
“We were so lucky to find Margaret for a last-minute daycare need while visiting the area. All the local boarding places were full, and we truly lucked out finding her. It was our first time using Rover, and she made us feel completely at ease from the beginning. Zoe had never stayed at a sitter’s home before, but Margaret made the drop-off easy and sent tons of photos throughout the day to keep us updated. If you’re visiting and need someone you can trust, Margaret is fantastic.”
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

About: I've had pet dogs since I was around 8 years old and have loved taking care of my dogs. I wish to be able to take care of your pets as if they were like my own pups. I am currently working part time and will be going to college in the school time so I will be able to play with your pups as often as I can if not more! I will be watching your pets and playing with them as if they were in my home with me and be able to give them lots of cuddles and playtime
“Wonderful to have a dog lover come in and walk my dogs when I’m away! She was always there when she said she would be and took them for good long walks! Will definitely use again!”
“Such a pleasure to work with Shelby ! She was able to take my dog on a walk and play with her on short notice ! Indie looked like she had so much fun ! Thank you !”
“Mindy was absolutely wonderful and gave us tremendous peace of mind during our week-long stay at State Lodge Campground in Custer State Park. She came to our campsite three times during the week to check on our dogs, spending about an hour with them each visit. She took them on walks, gave them potty breaks, spent time cuddling and loving on them, and made sure they were happy and comfortable while we were away exploring. Mindy was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our dogs as if they were her own. Knowing she was checking on them allowed us to enjoy our days without worrying about how they were doing back at camp. Her service was very reasonably priced and worth every penny for the peace of mind she provided. We would gladly book with Mindy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter.”
About: I have extensive experience in animal care, having grown up rehabilitating, caring for, and training a wide range of animals, from small squirrels to large horses. With several years of experience as a veterinary technician, I am deeply passionate about animal welfare. Over the past several years, I have also provided pet sitting services, caring for both young and elderly animals, as well as those with special needs. I am highly comfortable and confident in administering medications as needed as well as adhering to any specific dietary guidelines. I am a stay at home mom to my 11 month old son, so I have lots of time in my schedule to keep a close eye on your pet and give them as much attention as possible while you’re away! I have a fenced back yard which is perfect for playtime or just to hang out and get some sun! My own dog loves to run around up and down the hill in our yard! I also have a large dog kennel in case that is at all needed.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my entire life. Family and friends always relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and house sit for them while away on trips. I volunteered over 50 hours at the humane society, spreading as much love to all of the animals there. I have experience with small and large dogs (miniature pincher / Doberman). I also have experience with dogs and cats with diabetes. I’ve taken an animal CPR course also. I am able to accommodate to any pets specific schedule. I am working on building my own business so I am able to be very flexible. I will follow instructions to a tee, I understand how stressful it can be leaving your baby with a stranger. I want to make you as comfortable at possible so however I can do that I am absolutely willing :) ***PLEASE NOTE: I know some sitters have given rover a bad reputation, I want to assure you that I'm committed to providing top-notch care for your fur baby.

Majority of my clients are from referrals who can attest to the exceptional service I provide, your pet's well-being is my top priority.

“Kim was excellent! Our girls immediately made friends with her. Certainly put us at ease by sending us pictures and info about their walks. This was our first time using Rover and we will certainly use Kim again when we are back in the area.”
About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes, from 10-pound lap dogs to 100+ pound gentle giants. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and just about any furry friend in between! Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to check in on your pets multiple times throughout the day, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, exercise, and love. As a fellow dog mom, I know how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby behind. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own.

My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Being away from their owner can be stressful for pets, which is why I bring the care to them in the comfort of their own home. I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible, providing familiar schedules, plenty of love, patience, and personalized attention to help them feel safe and at ease. I’d also be happy to schedule a meet-and-greet before your trip so your pet has the chance to get to know me, helping everyone feel more comfortable before the stay.
About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own who are very friendly and playful. I can work with high energy or calmer/older dogs always taking the time to get to know them during our visits. I work full time but enjoy staying busy on my days off. Requests can be made for days I work as long as it is far enough out. We do not have a fence but do have tie outs at our own home. Willing to take your pet to any park of your choosing of course. I also have an XL wire crate if they need that at any time during a stay, otherwise they are free to roam.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I currently have four dogs; I have two female German shepherds, a male golden doodle, and a female black Labrador retriever. I have house sat a couple of times with the dogs I own, but I have also house sat for two Rhodesian ridgebacks and two cats regularly. When I am away at school, I volunteer at the Heartland Humane Society in Yankton SD once a week. I play, walk, and enrich all the different dogs in that facility. I currently work part time, usually in the evenings; I have plenty of time to hang out with your pups! I would be able to stop by for potty breaks frequently or go on walks. If overnight services are needed, I would be able to stay overnight and take care of your animal’s needs. I love animals. When I dog or house sit, I hang out with the animals as much as possible. I am vigilant and make sure that they are being properly cared for.
“Matilyn did a great job walking our dogs! She also let me that our female dog was showing signs of a UTI. Took her to the Vet the next day and sure enough, our dog did have a UTI! We would definitely rebook Matilyn!”
About: I have taken care of all types of dogs of all different ages since I was very little. I believe walks should be enjoyable and safe. I adapt to each dog’s pace, offer patience for puppies, gentle care for seniors, and dependable communication for owners. Pet care fits really well into my weekends. I keep my schedule pretty flexible, so I’m able to focus on walks and give each dog my full attention without feeling rushed. I care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep routines consistent, make sure pets are safe and comfortable, and always give them plenty of attention during visits and walks.
“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: With experience as a vet tech, groomer, and in boarding and daycare, I bring a well-rounded, hands-on approach to pet care. I’m comfortable with pets of all kinds and can handle everything from playtime to meds and grooming. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my daily life. Whether it’s morning walks or evening check-ins, I enjoy making time for each pet’s unique needs and keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. Whether pets are in my home or theirs, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment. In my home, they get plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. In the client’s home, I stick closely to their routine to keep things consistent and stress-free.
“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: I grew up with dogs, and my husband and I currently have 2 German Shepherds, one with special needs (which is why I only do walks or drop-ins, and I can't board or do overnights). I am unemployed by choice, with lots of free time to take care of your kids.. uh, I mean furbabies. I have trained several GSDs using positive reinforcement, and I know firsthand that an exercised dog makes for a happy home! I know how to give oral medication, and I have experience with dogs who suffer anxiety. Until recently I have always had a cat, and I absolutely love them. Each one is unique, and they crack me up! I am available all day most days, prefer to work within the traditional 8-5pm but will consider making exceptions. Let me snuggle your kitty or walk your pup, take them to the dog park or just exercise in your yard! I am retired, so I have lots of time to walk your pup or play with your kitty! My schedule is very flexible and I can usually accommodate a short notice request. I have 2 GSDs, and one of them has special needs, which means I cannot take pets into my home at this time. But I am happy to stay at your home provided my husband is not out of town.

We greatly appreciated her clear communication. Margaret texted us regular updates and photos. She took great care of our pup, following all of our intricate care instructions. She also kept the house in perfect shape. A++ experience”
