Dog Boarding in Boekhoff Subdivision, SD

“Angi was great with our pups and they were happy and healthy! She sent a lot of pictures and videos, as well. She has a great property for the dogs to run around and they got along well with her dog. We will definitely use her again and again!”

“Alesia was accommodating and my pup was well loved by her and her family! I was on a trip and loved receiving the pictures and updates. Her communication is quick and great! I definitely would recommend her and will be rebooking in the future 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

“Excellent care for our pup! He loved it at Melissa’s house. He had such a good time playing, getting walks, and cuddles. Very well taken care of.”

“Anna and her family were great to work with. The airline changed our flights unexpectedly right before a holiday, and Anna was so gracious and flexible with helping accommodate an extra 12 hours of care for my pup. I couldn’t be more thankful for having someone so kind watching Cooper for me when I couldn’t.”

“Our dog Ralph stayed with Kryz for about 3 weeks, and by the time we picked him up - I was surprised to see he wasn't ready to leave them yet! He had such a great time. She has 3 very sweet dogs that were welcoming of Ralph right away. It was obvious from the pictures and videos she sent that he was having a blast with her and her family. Kryz was quick to respond back to us and made our vacation worry free! She’s the ideal host!”

“If you’re reading reviews to make a decision, I’ll make it easy— book Jamie. Absolute 10/10. I had so many hiccups due to my travel plans and she was so accommodating, patient, communicative and kind. I was beyond blown away by her customer service AND my darling Pepper looked so happy with her. Couldn’t recommend more.”

About: I love animals, being around them playing with them and making them feel as if they were at there own home, and making sure they are happy and comfortable. I’m a stay at home mom, I bring my daughter on walks and sometimes go to the park, we like to stay home sometimes and just chill out on colder days. I like to play with dogs and my baby loves the company of dogs, I can crate them when needed if that’s how you do things, I’d keep them on there schedule that they would normally have at home.

“Zach was great and put all my anxieties at ease!! Instantly knew my dog was in good hands with him. He updated me with pictures of my boy and his communication was great! Would 100% recommend him to anyone!”

Amanda A.

“Absolutely outstanding! We highly, highly recommend Sheila! The level of communication and the photos as well as the amount of time she spend with our dog went far beyond our expectations. We will definitely want to use her services again!”

Robin M.

“They took such great care of our pup!!! We received updates, photos and videos! We are so thankful for the great care and will definitely rebook!!”

Natosha R.

“Casandra was wonderful! She sent photos and updates of Happys stay, she even took him for a ride to scheels and let him borrow her kiddie pool! She took him in as a late last minute request and helped me out in a serious pinch! Would recommend her to anyone!!”

Samantha B.

“MiKayla was great with Sophie! This was my first time leaving our pup with someone on DogVacay and I'm so glad we did!!! She was flexible with our drop off and pick up times and sent us updates and pics throughout the week. We will definitely book with her again next time!”

Allyson M.

“Lana took great Care of Zoey. She was great about sending pictures and communicating. Gave her meds as directed and clearly enjoyed her time taking care of her. We will be returning in the future.”

About: There have been at least dogs in my home my entire life. Even before I could talk, there was a family dog and my dad's hunting dogs around me from the time I was born. I received my first dog when I was seven and when I left for college, I got my first dog on my own and made sure that all of his healthcare was up-to-date and preventative instead of reactive. Ever since I was nine, I also lived on a farm in northern SD, so I also have experience with horses, cows, outdoor cats, bunnies, sheep, and hunting dogs. Since my graduation in 2007, I have owned dogs and ferrets but my friends tend to ask me to take care of their animals, so I also have experience with birds, indoor cats, sugar gliders, and bearded dragons. With dogs, I have the most experience with the following breeds due to owning them at some point in my life: poodles, dachshunds, corgis, and shiba inus. My family and friends have allowed me to also get experience with great danes, bloodhounds, golden retrievers, german short-hairs, brittany spaniels, rotties, pitties, bernadoodles, aussiedoodles, beagles, shitzus, and mixed breeds. I have a professional-grade washing station in my downstairs bathroom (my husband and I own the house we live in) and I brush my dogs' teeth every other day. I have administered subcutaneous injections to pets (dogs, cats, and horses) and everyday I ply our particularly picky shibas with vitamins and/or medication. If your pet has any special needs, do not hesitate to ask me as I there is a good chance I am already familiar with it. If not, care details from you will be strictly followed. In December 2021, I had a stroke that compromised my vision (double when I am not focusing on something and blurred on the sides), my balance (I am allowed to walk places but cannot run/jog yet but maybe someday), and my energy (I cannot be go-go-go 6-8 hours during the day but have more than enough energy to devote to pets in bursts). Although I graduated with my law degree in 2017, my "day job" is substitute teaching in the Sioux Falls school district and I work with kids aged 6-18 and am most often assisting special needs children. If you are interested in dog daycare, then he or she will be just included in part of the shiba pack that I have. Someone will be home with them at all times unless there is an emergency, as my husband works from home and I only have to run errands a couple times a week. If you are interested in overnight, I try to stay close to whatever routine has been established both in my home or yours. My pups sleep in our bed with us, but larger dogs likely won't fit. We have large dog beds to offer, but they sometimes like their own crate because it feels safe to them. If you are more interested in me coming to your home to take care of your dog, I will visit the home at 8:00 am, 2:00 pm, and 8:00 pm unless you have preferences. Other pets have schedules and needs that are vastly different, so it would be a negotiating thing. My friends call me the crazy pet lady because I love pets of all shapes and sizes, even if I am limited in what I can have myself. My husband consistently reminds me that Sioux Falls has a legal limit to how many animals you own, or I would probably have all the animals. I also like to keep owners up-to-date on their animals and take pictures/videos of their babies every visit. My pack of shibas are spoiled, so I'm not sure if my care is normal or "extra", but any dog that enters my space would have the same care. I know that my knowledge is limited for other pets and so care/spoiling is only within the parameters set by the owners. The pack is let outside to a completely fenced in yard around 8:00 am, again at noon, and then whenever they would like until their last outing around bedtime at 10:00 pm. Treats that are either homemade or meat-based (predominantly because my middle shiba is picky) are offered with most outings, as my youngest has come to expect it. Every other day, they get their teeth brushed but they actually look forward to it ever since I switched to a toothpaste they seem to love. Then they get cosequin every night for their joints. The two older shibas are fed once in the morning and once in the evening, while the youngest is freefed.

“We had an excellent experience with Jordan. She was flexible, friendly, and responsive. Our dog was well cared for, we received daily texts and photos, and we will definitely contact her again when we need to board our dog.”

Kristen H.

“Heather was so great. Not only did she take care of our baby, but we got frequent pics and updates, which made being away, so much easier. Roxy will most definitely be back if/when care is needed. ☺️”
