About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I also have a dog that loves to play with other dogs. Willing to walk dogs and spend time with your dog in your home or mine. I do have a 1 year old who will be with me. Preferred if dog is good with kids and of course I will monitor my child around your animal (as I do with my own dog). I like to take our dog running in the hills usually off leash. My dog has a training collar so if that is something your dog has or is good at coming back when called, they will be a good fit! I work part time, each week is different for what day. Only 2-3 a week. I have a dog at home who loves to play with other dogs as well. He’s a husker/golden. We love to take him for runs (mostly because he’s chubby) and he loves to cuddle. So we know all about cuddly pets. I have a fenced yard and a 1 year old son. I am easy to let dogs out and or go for walks (love to get exercise in). Fresh air is the best and getting out of the house! I know the importance of being present with your dog.. I love when people stay to give my dog company and not make him feel lonely.

“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!”

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

“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!”

“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!”

About: I grew up with all sorts of animals including cats, I’ve always been fond of their individuality and how it can be offset with love for their owners. I worked at a humane society taking care of cats and dogs and am used to being around skittish pets.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, cows, and horses. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for animals of different ages, sizes, and needs. Whether it’s keeping a puppy entertained, giving a senior pet extra patience and attention, or simply providing companionship, walks, playtime, and lots of love, I treat every pet like they’re my own. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I have with animals and the care I put into making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and attention based on your pet’s individual needs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and rest. I’m respectful of each client’s home and will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pets are receiving plenty of attention and care while you’re away.

“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 ❤️”

“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: 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: 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 got my first dog when I was 4 years old. Have never looked back since! I’ve brought 3 dogs through Canine Good Citizenship certifications. One dog through 4 levels of agility training. One dog through therapy and scent discrimination training. And one dog through search and rescue training. I love, not only to care for animals, but also to learn with them and to observe what they are capable of doing with the right support. I’ve even been able to train my cat to never get only any kitchen counter tops and stay relaxed while I clip her nails! I work a very flexible online job. So I can easily arrange my schedule to meet then needs of the animals 7 days a week. At this time, I can only provide pet care at your home. Once there, I will orient myself with the nearest vet location and familiarize myself with your home, dos and donts, off limits areas, etc.

About: I've owned pets all of my life from reptiles (bearded dragons and turtles), to dogs (big and small), cats of all personality types, and many different rodents (rabbits, Guinea pigs, mice). I love caring for pets and giving them whatever they need to feel happy and comfortable. I have been taking care of pets in a professional setting for 10 years and even worked as a veterinary assistant for 5 years so I know how to administer many types of pet medications. I am also a certified dog trainer, so I know how to care for dogs of all energy levels and temperaments! I know that every pet has different needs and personalities and I can meet those needs! I work full time, but have spurts of time where I can stop in to care for a pet, take a dog on a walk, or spend some time cuddling with a pet. I can pick dogs up for walks at your home and take them on a local hike or a walk around the neighborhood or local park. I can stop by to let puppies (or dogs of any age) out to potty and give them some love and affection as well! I often care for cats where I stop into the home one a day or once every other day (depending on the owners preference) and make sure your cat has food, fresh water, and clean litter box. I also water house plants as needed if requested:)

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: Your dogs will have fun while you are away. You can consider it their home away from home. Won’t have to worry about your things getting chewed up in your house or accidents. I will take care of them as my own. I am available to help Monday through Friday and most weekends. I have a fairly flexible schedule. I have 2 dogs myself (lab mix and a mastador) and have been raising a litter of puppies most recently. Feel free to ask for extra services and inquire with other requests. I watch my friends dogs at times and stay at my boss’s house to watch her dogs when they leave town for the weekend. I am responsible and look forward to meeting your furry friends. ?

“What a lovely person who treated my fur babies very well! Would definitely recommend and book again.”
