“Gianna is AMAZING - we worry about leaving our “baby”, and she was so reassuring and sent plenty of updates and pictures. She has a beautiful property for dogs to run and play. We never worried about our guy at all. She will definitely be our go-to person from now on!!”

Anne R.

“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!”

Eric G.

“Great communication! Corinna and her son took freak care of our little senior dog.”

Kim T.

“Ally is our baby. She is very spoiled and highly energetic. We were very concerned and apprehensive about leaving her with anyone. As she is always with us and never been away from us for an extended period of time. But Ms. Linda eased my mind when I first met her. She has a wonderful facility with lots of room for an energetic puppy to play. Linda kept me informed daily and sent me pictures of Ally’s daily routine. I would recommend her to anyone and will request her for future brooding.”

Errol M.

“Brooke is a wonderful Rover sitter! She not only treats her little furry guests like her own, but like they’re staying in a private resort. The huge fenced in backyard and porch are wonderful and our dog loves it. She also is adamant about getting him a bath before he comes home which is just so sweet of her. We have every confidence in her, and I’d recommend her for any size dog as well, large or tiny. Not sure our pup likes coming home to an unspoiled life, but he sure does love his Brooke time!”

Alison T.

“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!”

Mary B.

“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.”

Tracy L.

“Awesome sitter!! My baby looks like she had a great time. Will definitely use her again.”

Angelica A.

“Sophia is so kind! She was a wonderful sitter for our fur baby and we would definitely recommend her if you’re looking for someone reliable with good communication. We will definitely be repeat customers!”

Desirae G.

“Hector has been an amazing host for Wilson, my mini Schnauzer, for the second time. I feel confident leaving Wilson with Hector and his sister, knowing they take good care of him. Hector keeps me updated with photos and videos during Wilson’s stay, and he’s always quick to respond to any messages. Will definitely keep asking them to host Wilson again in the future.”

Ricardo R.

“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!!”

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: 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: 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!

“Lindsey was absolutely the best. She took excellent care of our pets and showed up at the precise times she said she would every day. The kitties seemed to warm up to her and we hope her care of them made our absence not so bad for them. We were truly pleased with everything she did for them and our home when we returned. Thank you, Lindsey!”

Howard S.

“Ally was a life saver! She paid my pup a visit on short notice when I needed to work late. Would definitely book her again.”

Drew W.

“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.”

Victorie W.

“We met Candice and felt confident in her love for animals. She took good care of our cats and even had a few extra visits. She sent photos and updates. We hope she will be available next time we leave town!”

Cynthia O.

“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 ❤️”

Jenessa N.

“Talon/Savannah was great with our three standard poodles. She provided pictures and texted to let us know they were doing well - even though the puppy peed in the house...oops!!”

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

“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.”

Linda C.

About: Mother of 6 littles (bichon, maltipoo, shihpoo, jackshit, maltese and papillon ) and 2 male cats. Late owner of Irish wolfhound (she was my 3rd and passed last year at 10yrs old) and many other breeds large and small. I have a degree in Animal science, worked in a Veterinary Hospital, am a Licensed wildlife rehabber and a state licensed Humane Investigator. I have experience with domestic, exotics, aquatic, wild and farm animals. Located currently on a horse farm and I professionally boarded horses for over 28 yrs in Illinois. I am also a certified pharmacy tech, and am certified in Animal (pet and horse) First aid and CPR. I only take small breeds in home for boarding. Must be pet friendly to other small dogs. For outside/stop in care I can do any size and morning and night visits. We have a Fenced in yard with a doggie door and I am always watching them when they are outside. There are 6 foot tall fences as well for their safety.

About: My experience with animals is life-long. 💕 I am that person who understands animals and knows how to give them the space and attention they need to feel safe and loved. I have personally owned cats, dogs, hamsters, rabbits, geckos, and birds. A little about me: I am active and love to go for walks here in Rapid City. If I’m at a party, I’m the person who is hanging out in the kitchen with the cat or the doggo. 💕 I’m currently working at home full time on my computer, in an apartment in downtown Rapid City - able to take short breaks throughout the day. My office job workday ends at 3:30pm MT then I am free to give special 1-1 time or walks. I am in a large modern apartment with big windows, lots of space to play, snooze, or just hang out with me while I work on my computer. I do not have any children or pets in my home. I am close to the Hotel Alex Johnson and the Hyatt Place hotel.

“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 :)”

About: Since I was 7, loved every just about every animal. And cared for so many different kinds. Cats, Dogs and lots of other animals too. I have experience with herding breeds, and dogs over 100 lbs, and with a wide variety of other pets. I am also insured as a pet sitter. I am a homemaker, with a regular weekly schedule. The times I'm unavailable to drop by are weekend and Monday mornings from 9 - 12:15 and Tuesday Nights from 6 - 9:15. Everything else is open. I will take wonderful care of your pet with love, in a place, manner and routine that they are familiar and comfortable with. Frozen, or fresh, homemade food is no problem. Playtime, cuddles, cleaning poop? Of course! All tailored to your pet's individual needs.

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.

About: I have had dogs in my life as long as I can remember. And I love every dog that I see. And all deserve the best care. I have recently moved to the area, so I have all the time to watch pets that need to be taken care of. Walking or overnights I am able to come to your house and walk/love on them and or stay overnight. Which ever is best for you and your pets.
