If I could give 100 stars I would! Above and beyond phenomenal!! My pups truly felt like home quirks and all. The updates were amazing and made me belly laugh. Communication before and during was above and beyond. I never leave my pups with anyone and they made the process so easy!!

My dog liked Jessica right away. He is a nervous dog, but was not nervous around her and he was happy when we picked him up. Jessica was very helpful and didn't mind introducing my dog to her cats and seeing how he was with them. Great experience!

My 3.5 month old puppy had a great time with Mark and his dog Foo. Mark was gracious enough to let my pup meet him and his dog a few days before she stayed with them all day. My pup came back to me tired and happy.

Wonderful couple, agreed to watch my girl last minute. My dog typically has separation anxiety and Linda did a wonderful job making sure she was happy and well cared for.

Athena was fantastic. She was easy going, a great communicator, and clearly loves dogs. She took Max to the park, played fetch with him, taught him tricks, and made sure he played with his toys. She was also very flexible and I would absolutely recommend.

I believe Bodhi loved his time with Brittany, despite being ready to leave when I picked him up (he has seperation anxiety). I'm looking forward to Bodhi becoming more and more comfortable with her when I use her again for boarding :)

Janae was great! Our puppy Pan loved to play with her puppy and even out older girl Lyra had fun. Lyra LOVED Janae's husband right from the start and she normally takes a while to warm up to strangers. Would use her again if we were in town.

Talon/Savannah was great with our three standard poodles. She provided pictures and texted to let us know they were doing well - even though the puppy peed in the house...oops!!

We were so very pleased with the care that Jaden gave Polly. Polly liked her right away and Jaden was very attentive and kind. I would recommend her to anyone.

About: 18 Acres of Fun! Besides working in the veterinary field as a certified veterinary assistant, I’ve had dogs and cats since I started walking back home in Puerto Rico. I was always rescuing all kinds of critters in the streets and finding them new homes. Big animals, small animals, shy animals, hyper animals, you name it! I've assisted anywhere from births to surgery, administered medications, vitals etc. Your furry friends are in good hands with me. I live on a ranch, so they’ll have plenty of space to run and play around while I also love taking them with me to explore the Black Hills trails. I’m currently dedicating my time to farm life while I wait for school to start in the fall, so I have all my time available to dedicate myself to your furry friends. I have a big farm of 18 acres with plenty of space to exercise your pups, also have enclosed areas available to offer them a safe and comfortable environment during their stay. But like I mentioned, I have all my time available so your furry friends will receive all my attention all day ❤️ It’s the perfect environment to keep them happy and stimulated while you’re gone. -Will do walks/hikes -Provide pictures/videos -Plenty of kisses & cuddles -Beeping color available if requested

Susan took such great care of my dog. She took her for a nice walk and spent time in a hammock with her. I really appreciated the pictures during the day. Thanks Susan!

Best Rover sitter we’ve had! Tara kept in touch the whole time and sent pictures so we didn’t have to miss our pooch so much. We could tell our pup had been well cared for and comfortable when we picked her up. Thank you Tara, you’re the best!

Hermosa, SD, 57744

About: I have been a dog owner/lover for the past 10 years. My experience extends to small dogs, large dogs, and reactive dogs. My property is 7 acre of quiet farm land in Hermosa. I have 2 dogs myself and they are very friendly and playful with other dogs. There would also be the option to keep our dogs separate if your baby is not comfortable with cohabitation. 1 acre fenced in yard as well as someone home at all times to let your baby out. I work in town on the weekdays but my partner works remotely meaning someone would be home at all times to let out the dogs. We have a 1acre fenced in yard the dogs can hang out in as well as plenty of space in the house. Dogs would be free to hang out in the house with no real restrictions unless otherwise stated by the owner.

About: Over the years, I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats along with friends’ and family dogs. We are an animal loving family with a sweet fun loving Goldendoodle named Maxx who loves making new doggie friends and who is friendly with cats also. Between myself, my kids, and Maxx, your pet(s) would be showered with constant love and attention! I work from home and my kids homeschool. Pets in our home have regular companionship, love, and attention! If desired, pets can sleep with me. I am familiar with crate training and although our dog no longer needs to be crated, his crate is his safe place to relax! We have a big yard where our dog runs and fetches his ball and do regular walks too.
