“What a great people! This was my first rover.com booking & Candice was soooo patient as I figured out how to do this. I saw a big difference in my older dachshund Dora compared to how stressed she has been after staying at a kennel compared to staying in a home. She was calm & her normal self when I picked her up compared to the stress I've seen in her when I've left her at a kennel. I received lots of pictures, could see that she was doing fine. Had a last minute change in plans, needed to pick Dora up about 90 minutes later than I'd expected, and Candice & family made it work. Thank you! I would definitely book with them again.”
“The space and security Linda offers is priceless . My Border Collie was able to run as hard and FAR as she wanted. Her brother- who appears to be BullDog plus Pittie plus Terrier was beside himself to have so much space. This is some of the best money I have ever spent in regard to the well being of my pets. I could not be more pleased.”
“Brooke was an awesome sitter. She watched our dog Max for 3 weeks and I had no issues. She sent us plenty of pictures and updates. She also groomed him right before we picked him up! We will definitely rebook her any time we need a sitter.”
“Melissa was amazing, and I'm thrilled we found her to watch our dog. She was incredibly easy to work with, she was a great communicator, and mostly importantly she took fantastic care of our dog. I will not hesitate to connect with her again next time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommended!”

“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 ⭐️!”

“Candice did a great job with our kitty, Luna. Luna can be prone to throwing up and Candice was kind enough to check in on her more often and clean up. We will definitely use Candice again in the future!”
“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.”
“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”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and former veterinary technician with experience in both general and emergency veterinary care, I understand that every cat has unique needs and personalities. Whether your cat is playful and social, shy and reserved, or a senior requiring extra attention, I provide patient, compassionate care tailored to them. I am comfortable administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness, and ensuring cats maintain their normal routines while you're away. 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: Over the years, I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats along with friends’ and family dogs. We are an animal loving family with a sweet fun loving Goldendoodle named Maxx who loves making new doggie friends and who is friendly with cats also. Between myself, my kids, and Maxx, your pet(s) would be showered with constant love and attention! I work from home and my kids homeschool. Pets in our home have regular companionship, love, and attention! If desired, pets can sleep with me. I am familiar with crate training and although our dog no longer needs to be crated, his crate is his safe place to relax! We have a big yard where our dog runs and fetches his ball and do regular walks too.

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
“Absolutely amazing experience! I needed a dog sitter on very short notice, and she came through like a pro. Not only did she welcome my dog with open arms, but she also made a personalized, super cute welcome sign just for him which was such a thoughtful touch. The place itself is beyond anything I expected: each dog gets a private, spacious room and their own section of a beautiful backyard. It felt more like a luxury retreat than a kennel. Everything was spotless, safe, and clearly designed with real care and attention. She’s professional, warm, and clearly passionate about what she does. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again this is truly a five star setup.”

“Athena was fantastic. She was easy going, a great communicator, and clearly loves dogs. She took Max to the park, played fetch with him, taught him tricks, and made sure he played with his toys. She was also very flexible and I would absolutely recommend.”
“I had the absolute best experience with Marshall and can’t recommend him enough. He was beyond accommodating with my random and unpredictable schedule for work while out in Rapid City. 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: 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.

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.

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.

“What a great people! This was my first rover.com booking & Candice was soooo patient as I figured out how to do this. I saw a big difference in my older dachshund Dora compared to how stressed she has been after staying at a kennel compared to staying in a home. She was calm & her normal self when I picked her up compared to the stress I've seen in her when I've left her at a kennel. I received lots of pictures, could see that she was doing fine. Had a last minute change in plans, needed to pick Dora up about 90 minutes later than I'd expected, and Candice & family made it work. Thank you! I would definitely book with them again.”
“The space and security Linda offers is priceless . My Border Collie was able to run as hard and FAR as she wanted. Her brother- who appears to be BullDog plus Pittie plus Terrier was beside himself to have so much space. This is some of the best money I have ever spent in regard to the well being of my pets. I could not be more pleased.”
“Brooke was an awesome sitter. She watched our dog Max for 3 weeks and I had no issues. She sent us plenty of pictures and updates. She also groomed him right before we picked him up! We will definitely rebook her any time we need a sitter.”
“Melissa was amazing, and I'm thrilled we found her to watch our dog. She was incredibly easy to work with, she was a great communicator, and mostly importantly she took fantastic care of our dog. I will not hesitate to connect with her again next time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommended!”

“I had a last minute emergency and needed my kitten watched for the day. She gladly took him in to her house, and “babysat” him. Me and my little Paquito appreciate her!”
About: I grew up with dogs and they all have 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: 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!
“Brittany gave AMAZING care for our two pugs! Between the daily pictures and very happy demeanor of the dogs when they picked them up, it was obvious that they were well cared for!”
