Highlights
Pet care experience
Can I pet that dawwwg (or cat)?
I’ve always been the one to help with pets since I was young. I always sought our senior pups when I adopted. I’ve worked for rescues, cared for hungry and hurt homeless animals, provided basic medical services for cattle, participated in K9 CPR and medical transports, paramedic for humans with cross over knowledge for our furrbabies, and have a big loving heart for all animals :)
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Caroline & Alena are excellent, reliable, and conscientious sitters. Our two pups love them and we are so grateful to have them watch our family members. If you find yourself in Rapid City looking for a dog sitter, I strongly recommend Caroline & Alena.
Caroline and Alena are wonderful! They provided updates throughout my pup's stay with them, and my pup (Shiba Inu) seemed to really enjoy his time with them. Shibas can be low maintenance from a general care perspective (grooming, daily habits, etc.), but can be high maintenance when they are anxious - and my pup is no exception to that. But Caroline and Alena took wonderful care of him while we were out of of town, and they will definitely be who we reach out to whenever my pup needs a place to stay.
Caroline & Alena were immediately and professional. Both instilled confidence in me which is important because my pups are family. I received photos and updates during their stay which is much appreciated. If in the Rspid City area, I strongly recommend Caroline & Alena.
Owen was pampered and brushed for a full Day while we explored the area. We received lots of updates and communication was phenomenal!
Caroline & Alena did a fabulous job looking after my babies. I got pictures and updates daily. My pups were happy and well loves during their stay. I would use them again and again! Highly recommend!
Caroline and Alena took great care of our Goldendoodle for a full week, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. They sent daily updates with photos and videos, which really put us at ease and let us see how much fun he was having. You can tell they genuinely love the dogs they watch. Their home is warm and welcoming, and it felt like the perfect place for him to stay. He had a great time and was clearly treated like part of their family. We’d highly recommend Caroline and Alena to anyone looking for caring, reliable pet sitters. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a large fenced yard with plenty of running and play room. We have a corgi named Bananas (fully vaccinated) that will be in the home as a tour guide, buddy, and playmate. We do CRATE the dogs (even our own) during the night for the dogs own safety.
Pets
A typical day
We really try to adjust for each furrbaby and their preferences. We have bins of toys, we do frozen yogurt and treat Kongs, have busy boards to keep their minds engaged and a large backyard to explore and runaround in.
