Dog Boarding in Canistota, SD

“Angi was amazing! She worked with us to meet before hand and was very flexible with pick up time. She sent lots of pictures and videos. She was very accommodating for my dog’s feeding schedule which made me feel very comfortable! I know my Izzy had a great time!”

“This was our first time booking with Melissa and our dog would be there 9 days!! She was very welcoming and took great care of our dog. She sent me daily updates, pictures and videos. Our dog got along great with her two dogs. I would highly recommend boarding with Melissa!!”

Lisa M.

“Great with my two little dogs! I could vacation without having to worry about them for once. Will definitely use her again! My dogs got along great with her dogs as well.”

“Melissa‘s kindness, sincerity, and genuine warmth shine through from the moment you meet her. Her home has that same welcoming energy –comfortable safe and full of thoughtful touches. The meat-and-greet Melissa offered before the stay was generous and reassuring, and Copper, her pup, was the perfect host - basically the mayor of hospitality town! He welcomed Peanut like an old friend and immediately showed her around. Melissa was flexible, thoughtful, and attentive, and she sent photos and videos throughout Peanut’s stay that absolutely made my day. Peanut came home ready for a nap, content, and clearly well-cared for - the Holy Trinity of a perfect pup vacation! Copper even taught Peanut how to go down the stairs, which definitely deserves its own merit badge. I am grateful for people like Melissa who create a safe, honest, and welcoming space for visiting pups. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely caring home for their dog. You almost want to ask if she offers human boarding too. Melissa is agem – five stars, many tail wags, and a standing ovation from Peanut.”

“Jack had an amazing time with Elizabeth and Henry. The updates and pictures were awesome, Jack may have had a better time on his vacation than my son and I did. Thank you so very much! 10/10 will book again.”

“Tracy was great to work with, very compassionate about her duty as a sitter and made Hank feel loved and appreciated!! I also appreciated that she was understanding about me being late for pickup as I am just getting settled into a new environment. I hope and look forward to using her again in the future!! Her darling Stella who is as well a Yorkie was just a cute girl. We loved Tracy!”

About: I have my own fur babies of 5 cats and one 16 year old dog. House is a little chaotic but loving and caring. Each animal has their own needs and I provide them with everything in the world and more. Anything that will work around my college schedule will be most beneficial. Part time jobs can be hard in this economy especially with 18 credit hours this semester. Being able to cuddle and hangout with animals while I can maintain school work sounds like a blast. Your pets are not just pets but they are your babies. I will take care of them like I take care of my own fur babies. They will become one of my fur babies while I take care of them. My pets get their medicine on time, fed on time, and always have water available. Litter boxes get cleaned regularly to keep up with odors.

“Amazing caretaker for our dog. So attentive and caring. We always hated leaving our dog at a big kennel since there was so much less direct attention. This was a fantastic experience, especially because of Amber and Calissa.”

“Shayla is very responsive and great to work with. She treats your dog like one of her own. She has an awesome large fenced in back yard with so much space to play. I loved all the pictures and updates she sends. Will definitely be back for more stays!”

Colleen R.

“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!”

“Josie was excellent with our dog. She sent lots of pictures and great communication. Highly recommend”

Kim M.

“Marnie, Jeff, and their kids were absolutely amazing!! They sent us pictures everyday of our dogs and took such great care of them! We would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a place for their dogs to stay!”

Sydney O.

“Justin was the best! My dog has severe separation anxiety and Justin made sure he was well monitored and accommodating to his special needs. He was even accommodating our delayed flights. I cannot recommend Justin enough and will be sure to use him again in the future.”

Mary M.

“Heather was so great watching our dog Buster! They were very welcoming to him. She sent me some pictures and updates about how he was doing throughout his stay which was so nice! Heather is super fast with communication and was flexible with what we needed for drop off and pick up. Overall it was a really great experience! I would definitely recommend Heather and we would absolutely have our dog stay with her family again!”

About: Animals have always been part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I grew up in a home full of pets and now have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your animals while you’re away. Outside of pet care, I work as a speech-language pathologist for the SFSD. My work has shaped me into someone who is patient, kind, communicative, and attentive to individual needs- qualities I also bring into caring for pets. My schedule is flexible during the summer, which gives me more availability for walks, drop-ins, and select boarding requests. Once the school year begins, I’ll primarily be available during evenings, weekends, and school breaks. I live in a cozy and spacious home in Sioux Falls and can host small, calm dogs who are cat-friendly and comfortable in a new environment. For drop-ins or walks, I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

“MiKayla and AJ are amazing!! They’re so communicative before and during our dogs booked stay. We always know our dog is in good hands when we have her stay with them on the weekends. We couldn’t recommend them enough!”

Rhiannon P.

“Leslie seemed to have enjoyed her time. I received pictures and communication while we were gone. Felt very comfortable and will definitely book with Mattey again.”

Heidi S.

“Our dog seemed very happy and well cared. We received pictures and updates putting us at ease. Thanks for taking such great care of Nordis”
