Your pup = my 100% attn!
We are situated on 6 acres approximately 7 minutes from Wind Cave Park and a few minutes from Hot Springs City. Other tourist attractions mileage from my home: Crazy Horse Memorial 45 minutes (34.9 miles), Mt. Rushmore National Park 1 hour (49.4 miles), Jewel Cave National Monument 48 minutes (48.1 miles), Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary 31 minutes (18.7 miles), The Mammoth Site 11 minutes (4.7 miles) and Moccasin Springs Natural Mineral Spring 8 minutes (3.3 miles). If your pup enjoys a walk, I will take your pup for a walk around the back half of the property. It's peaceful and full of smells to discover. I haven't found a dog that doesn't love this walk yet! We have a fenced in (4 ft. high fence) back yard that is connected to our dog secure window & screened in wrap around porch. We moved to Hot Springs in Nov. 2021 and are in the process of setting up a big dog yard. At this time, we are only accepting small and medium dogs to large dogs up to 75 lbs because I hurt my shoulder. I would love to enjoy your big dog, but they would be locked in the fenced yard and/or inside with me the entire time, and a big dog would have to be OK with that. I’ve been around tiny to large dogs most of my life. I am not intimidated by large breeds or strong willed pets. I’ll have just as much fun with your teacup breed as I do with the giant breeds. We have had 5 dogs in our family, 3 Akita’s and 2 Shiba Inu's. We trained all of our dogs to respond to visual and verbal commands. I can administer medication and prepare special meals. I am a stay at home wife. So, I'm home a lot! April 2020, we took in a rescued akita. Shinshi is our gentle boy who is getting up there in age. Yuki is our 2nd Shiba Inu that has become Shinshi’s Support Animal! These two keep us constantly entertained 😁 🐾 You may have seen our akita, Shinshi, in the pictures. He appreciates his serenity; I keep him separated from my Rover client‘s dogs. He loves to play with our shiba inu, Yuki. For now, only Yuki gets to play with the Rover dogs if she’s not being a typical judgmental and antisocial Shiba 🤣 If your dog is potty trained, they are welcome inside our home. We are not set up for overnights at this time. Locals use Paw Patch in Hermosa, SD, which is 30 min outside of Hot Springs, SD.

Ratings and reviews
Aimeejoy was a wonderful sitter for our pup as we visited wind cave national park. She provided constant updates and went above and beyond !!
Rue had such a great time! It was super convenient for us to drop her off while visiting Wind Cave!
Aimeejoy went above and beyond to make sure my anxious dog had an amazing time while staying with her. Not only that, but she was able to help us out at the last minute when other plans fell through. She was amazing with Wiggles and sent lots of updates and pictures of Wiggles having a blast.
We left our pup for a few hours while visiting Wind Cave National Park. He was so happy and comfortable that he didnt want to leave. Aimeejoy stayed with him the whole time and gave him a ton of love and attention. She sent us a ton of pics too. Highly recommend Aimeejoy!
She and her husband were so kind and sweet with Bailey while we visited Wind Cave. You can tell they really love animals, and I think any pup would be lucky to hang out with them. They are conveniently close to the park, which made everything easy, and they even gave both my dad and me coffee to go. Very thoughtful, caring people — I would completely recommend them.
Incredible!! Aimee and her husband were such nice and kind human beings and so flexible! They even loaned me a flashlight for my Wind Cave tour and a latte 🥹💓 15 min from the NP and super close to all other attractions like the wild horse sanctuary, mammoth and more!!

I am a stay at home wife. Love it! Sometimes I take Yuki to Angostura Reservoir. They have so many beaches there! Thank you for considering our home away from home for your pup 😊

A typical day
I walk dogs on our property. There’s plenty to sniff and explore! Frequent breaks are not a problem. Eventually, we’ll have the BIG dog yard. About an acre!
