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 :)

Doggy Day Care • Jul 13, 2026

We were in Rapid City to see Mount Rushmore and left our dog with Caroline and Alena for the day. She had room to run and even did some cultural enrichment (art) which we got to keep! I received updates throughout the day and my dog came home happy and exhausted! I would highly recommend whether you are passing through or in the Rapid City area looking for someone to take care of your pup!

This was Teddy's first stay with a sitter and I couldn't have left him in better hands. Communication was impeccable and the house was a perfect set up with a completely fenced yard. I can't recommend Caroline and Alena highly enough. You and your pet will be very happy!!! Thank you very much!!!

Wow! Caroline & Alena provided the best care imaginable for our labradoodle and went above and beyond our expectations. Further, we needed last minute care and a flexible schedule, both of which was accommodated.

Gio had a great time with Caroline and her house today: following her around the yard while she planted, and getting loves and a nap in the house. I would definitely have him come again. And he got a cute bag, and a dapper tie.

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.

We like to know their energy levels, favorite activities and if they have any environmental, food or medication allergies. Also any quirky behaviors and tendencies so we can best prepare for them to make them comfortable.
