“We needed a place for Louie to stay for a few days while we were out of town and they went above and beyond for our guy! Banana was a great buddy and Caroline and Alena helped Louie feel right at home!! Loved all the photo and video updates, would highly recommend their family!!”

“Ali was so awesome again… being able to board Cooper on such short notice. And even went the extra mile by coming closer to me when I forgot our pickup time!!! Thank you!!”

“Ariel was great with my fur baby! My girl had not done very well in the past with traditional boarding kennels and this seems to be the perfect fit for her. Ariel was great with sending updates and pictures throughout the day to ease my mind.”

“Talon watched our pup for us on short notice while we were camping in the Black Hills. She kept us updated with photos and did a wonderful job easing his anxiety. We definitely use Talon again if we find ourselves in the Black Hills in the future!”

“Brittany was AWESOME with our special needs (acute separation anxiety) Schnauzer mix named Cooper!! She was able to take him with her to work and gave him meds when he go anxious. She also sent photo updates during his stay to let us know how he was doing. I highly recommend Brittany and we will definitely be using her again in the future!!”


About: I'm an active gal who loves the companionship of a pooch while out and about. I love taking dogs on long walks or hikes through the woods or just down the city blocks for a quick leg stretch (and a bathroom stop). I'll be attentive to the needs of your dog, making sure they get plenty of activity, are well hydrated, and fed appropriately. While I don't have a dog of my own currently, I was a dog walker when I lived in New York City and I volunteered for two years with Border Paws Rescue in Rapid City caring for 5 - 10 pups for their pre-bedtime outings. I'm comfortable working with and providing a safe environment for the most goofy and social as well as the most solo and independent pups. I'm happy to accommodate any special needs you and your pup may have. I'm prompt and reliable. I hope to meet you and your pup soon! I work full time, but have flexibility to do bathroom breaks over lunch for kiddos that need more frequent outings. I can take pups on walks in the morning or evening depending on their activity needs. I have a small fenced in yard that is available for outside hangs. I am patient and kind and love to meet the needs of each pup where they are at. I have volunteered in a rescue and am comfortable around dogs of different temperaments.
“Maria was responsive to our texts, flexible, followed all our instructions, very prompt, and sent us nice photos of Riley during her stay. It was Riley’s first time away from home, she thoroughly enjoyed her time with Maria & Sandy. Based on our great experience, I will be using Maria’s services again the next time we need to leave Riley with a sitter.”

“All I can say is Wow! From the moment we arrived, Rebecca made our Rylee feel right at home. She got along well with and played hard with her Goldens so we could see the sights on our trip to the area. Her place is set up as a dog’s dream! If we come through again, we know where to bring our girl! Thank you Rebecca!”

“Susan took excellent care of our fur baby Tucker. She sent lots of pics and he always looked so happy in each of them. Susan without question has a passion for animals and we highly recommend her.”

“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!”

“We loved having Margaret stay at our home and watch our Westie. She is exceptionally professional, punctual, friendly, caring and an all-around awesome person. 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”

About: My family has had a dog since I was in high school and I have been around dogs ever since. I am here to help. I work full time and I am home every night so will have plenty of time to go for a walk or play with your pets. I have a good size fenced in yard to let the pets go play and have fun with toys or I like going for hikes and can take them with!

“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! ?”

“Kim did drop-in visits at my home. My two older kitties are both rescues from a shelter and both are very shy. Kim was able to win them over in a short time. I knew they would eat the food she'd put out but I was glad to hear they let her pet them. I'd definitely recommend Kim for any type of petsitting!”
“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.”

“Gio had a great time with Caroline and her house today: following her around the yard while she planted, and getting loves and a nap in the house. I would definitely have him come again. And he got a cute bag, and a dapper tie.”

“We are so happy to have found Susan on Rover. She cared for our pup Fern while we were in town on vacation. Some of the places we visited didn’t allow dogs, so having her cared for while we were sightseeing was such a blessing. Susan was amazing, she sent us many texts and videos of the adventures they took together. Fern had such a great time and we felt so comfortable that she was in good hands. We highly Susan, she’s a gem!!”

“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!”

“Jaiden took great care of our dog! She was available last minute to watch him while we visited Mount Rushmore. He had lots of fun playing with his new friends, and Jaiden sent plenty of pictures. Definitely recommend her.”

“Did amazing with our girl. She sent pictures throughout time and stayed in contact with us. Would definitely recommend Brittany to watch your fur babies. Will use her again when we come back to the area.”

“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: 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.
“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!”
