“We were so thankful to find Talon near our campground for the Bike Rally. It made riding motorcycles for a couple long days much nicer knowing they were being card for and not stuck in the RV. Would have liked more videos of play time and pics, as this was my very first time away from my puppy for more than 12hrs, but I should have expressed that earlier.”

“Hector and Sofia have now welcomed and cared for my 2-year-old dog, Wilson, three times this year. Most recently, they stepped in on very short notice for a last-minute trip I had to Baltimore, and I can’t express how grateful I am for their hospitality and flexibility. I know Wilson is always in good hands with them – they treat him with such love and care. I highly recommend Hector and Sofia to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters. Thank you both again for everything!”

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!”

“Brittany took very good care of our bernedoodle puppy while we were on vacation for a week. She kept us updated with pictures and the occasional text to let us know what he was up to. It made it feel like he was on vacation while in her care. She was very easy to coordinate with. Would definitely recommend her to friends and family.”

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.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life! I grew up, always having at least two dogs in the house, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’ve also dog sat on many occasions for family members and friends, whether it was for a day or a whole weekend. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and of course, plenty of attention and cuddles! I understand the importance of needing someone you trust to care for your pets and you can trust me to treat your dogs like they’re my own :) I typically work three 12-hour shifts in a row which leaves me with several days off to spend with your pets during the week! This provides me with plenty of time to make sure your pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need rather than being left alone for long periods. You can trust that your dog can feel safe and comfortable at my home in my care. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can safely get outside for potty breaks and playtime, along with access to nearby parks and walking trails for plenty of exercise and exploring. I also have toys and treats available to make their stay extra fun. When caring for pets in my own home, I’m happy to follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedule, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I know pets are often most comfortable in their usual routine/home, so I’ll make sure they get lots of attention and care while they’re away and of course I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

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.

About: Hey there! I have fostered many dogs in the past. Some for months, until I can help find a great home for them. My back yard in completely fenced, and is a 1/4th of an acre! Lots of area to play, and they will have a nice clean and warm house to come into after! I will follow all of your instructions when taking care of your pet, and care for them like my own! I find myself different from other people because I have a great back yard and very deep love for all breeds and sizes. I will also walk them when the weather is nice, I hope you choose me to take care of your lovely pup. I can also send pictures/ updates daily! I am fully self employed, so at the office here and there! Home most of the time! I work close by so have the flexibility to come and go. I will take care of your pets like my own! I will do overnights, during the day if I know I’ll be home most of the time.

We definitely went overboard when it came to providing information about him, but Arianne was able to handle it all without issue. 6/5.”

“I’ve known Linda for several years, and implicitly trusted her with my German Shepard. I was in a pickle, was kind of last minute preparation for me ( I usually have everything written down, food bags prepared and labeled…) to leave home and have her watch my dog. He needs medication with his diet or he can’t digest what he eats, which was no issue with her. She sends pics and videos, and great communication, to help the ease of being separated from my best buddy and travel partner. She ‘speaks’ dog, reads and knows their energy. The facility is a dog’s haven and resort! I am sure my dog will love going back for a ‘dogcation’!”

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.

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

She handled him well, and he was excited to go back the following day. Hoping she will agree to watch him for future visits.”

“We were so thankful to find Talon near our campground for the Bike Rally. It made riding motorcycles for a couple long days much nicer knowing they were being card for and not stuck in the RV. Would have liked more videos of play time and pics, as this was my very first time away from my puppy for more than 12hrs, but I should have expressed that earlier.”

“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!”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life! I grew up, always having at least two dogs in the house, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’ve also dog sat on many occasions for family members and friends, whether it was for a day or a whole weekend. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and of course, plenty of attention and cuddles! I understand the importance of needing someone you trust to care for your pets and you can trust me to treat your dogs like they’re my own :) I typically work three 12-hour shifts in a row which leaves me with several days off to spend with your pets during the week! This provides me with plenty of time to make sure your pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need rather than being left alone for long periods. You can trust that your dog can feel safe and comfortable at my home in my care. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can safely get outside for potty breaks and playtime, along with access to nearby parks and walking trails for plenty of exercise and exploring. I also have toys and treats available to make their stay extra fun. When caring for pets in my own home, I’m happy to follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedule, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I know pets are often most comfortable in their usual routine/home, so I’ll make sure they get lots of attention and care while they’re away and of course I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

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.

About: Hey there! I have fostered many dogs in the past. Some for months, until I can help find a great home for them. My back yard in completely fenced, and is a 1/4th of an acre! Lots of area to play, and they will have a nice clean and warm house to come into after! I will follow all of your instructions when taking care of your pet, and care for them like my own! I find myself different from other people because I have a great back yard and very deep love for all breeds and sizes. I will also walk them when the weather is nice, I hope you choose me to take care of your lovely pup. I can also send pictures/ updates daily! I am fully self employed, so at the office here and there! Home most of the time! I work close by so have the flexibility to come and go. I will take care of your pets like my own! I will do overnights, during the day if I know I’ll be home most of the time.
