This was my first time and couldn’t be more pleased. I was so happy and comforted to get messages and photos of Sammy’s big grin while I was away. ❤️?

Taylor and Beau are fantastic! Our Ollie loved them. Regular updates and photos while we were gone and they took the last minute confusion regarding our 2nd dog on the day we were leaving in stride. Will definitely use them again!

Kisha was great! Odin was happy and healthy when we came home. I feel very confident he was well cared for while we were gone.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life and have cared for just about every kind of pet you can imagine — dogs, cats, bunnies, chinchillas, birds, and more. Animals have always been a huge part of my home and my heart. I’m comfortable with all personalities, all sizes, and all needs. Your pet will be treated like family, because that’s the only way I know how to care for them. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times. I prioritize the pets I’m caring for, so I’m able to adjust my day around their needs — whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or drop-in visits. I’m reliable, responsive, and able to accommodate last-minute or recurring bookings. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely — feeding schedules, medication needs, crate routines, potty breaks, and preferred playtime activities. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well-supervised, and I always take extra time for love, attention, and enrichment. I keep the home tidy, respect your space, and send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I have owned two beagles for the last three years and have had them since they were puppies. I dog sat while younger for family friends. I am a student athlete and wish to be very active with these dogs. I have excellent time management and great organization that will relate to my dog sitting career. I am easy to work with and very flexible in the summer time. I will be spending all of my summer finding part time jobs, sitting houses, and watching dogs. I am trying to pack my schedule with as many dogs as possible because it gives me something to do and I get to help someone in return. Plus I love dogs and they make me happy. I would make an excellent candidate for all sorts of bookings.

About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals including livestock. I've owned dogs all my life & have been trusted by family & friends to watch over their furry loved ones. Your family member is my family member. I pay attention to their needs & make sure we have a good time! I own a spayed, female, lab mix. Her name is Shadow, she's about 6years old and adopted from a shelter in California. She loves to make new friends! We also have a 1yr old male cat in the home who is great with dogs & is usually outside roaming or sleeping in his room. We hope we get the chance to meet you & your pets! It's going to be a fun time! DISCLAIMER: I only board fully house trained family members & WILL NOT accept any aggressive dogs. Payment is required prior to or upon drop off. My schedule is very flexible and I do my best to accommodate my clients. Your pet must be well behaved around children, cats and other dogs. Preferred method of contact is via text. I live in a home with a roomy yard and we make trips to the dog park often! I have a truck where they can ride in the back but they are more than welcome to ride in the cab when it's cold! My son & I provide LOTS of cuddles!

About: I can walk, feed, bathe, and play with dogs. I have taught my dogs how to sit. I love animals and taking care of them. I will give them the best care possible! I’m currently working part-time so my hours are very open. I’m a student here at USD staying over the summer. My dogs live in Arkansas with my parents and I miss them a lot. A few minutes with your animals will bring me happiness! I live in an apartment with no other animals but my lease doesn’t allow animals. I can easily go to your house and pet sit/walk. I have a leash and treats as well!

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 7. I use to care for the dog that I ended up adopting. I can provide walks, food, baths, lots of cuddles, attention, and awareness of situations. I am very watchful. I work full time however, my house is less than a minute walk from my place of work so I can easily check-in as much as needed. I currently have a dog who I adopted and is just the sweetest thing. I have a medium-sized dog who likes most people and dogs. I can care for your pet in your home or my own. My dog is very capable of being by herself if she needs to be. I also am good at giving dogs long walks, providing attentive care, and plenty of exercise. I do not have a yard but I will right across from a huge open space that your dog will love to play in.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Yankton on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 30 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Yankton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Yankton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
