Dog Boarding in Sioux Falls

“Jayne and her family were great with Kira and welcomed her so warmly into their home. She sent daily updates, which I appreciated... and most of all, when my travel was significantly delayed, they were so gracious and accommodating. I highly recommend Jayne and will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

“Anna was great and Boo had a great time. I am almost afraid to leave a 5 star review as I am afraid that everyone will book her!!! She sent me pictures and updates and I have re-booked for next month.”

“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.”

“Our experience with Jamie was great, she sent lots of pictures, and she was so sweet with our dog. It seems they had a great time together. We’ll definitely book her again.”

About: I have been a dog owner and lover for most of my life. I currently do not have a dog in the home, so I can focus full-time on your furry family members. I have a lot of experience with pit blends, as well as small dogs. I work freelance from home, and currently have plenty of time to spend giving scritches and going out to play. I am also a runner, and would love to take any dogs with me who love to run. We have a fenced in yard, and a dog room in our basement for naps. We also have a couch in the main living area that's just for dogs, but they are also welcome to sit on our couch or in our recliner chair. We live very close to the bike trail and several parks, and walking distance to the downtown dog park. I also have a dog-safe car for trips to Spencer or Family Dog Park or special trips to The Splash Bark.

“Braden and Grace were both easy and pleasant to work with. Communication was timely and easy, they were very accommodating with the pet sitting arrangement (I blew a tire and ended up being late to arrive, which they were patient and kind about), and my dog Winnie seemed to enjoy her time there in a safe and comfortable home :)”

“Thank you so much for being available on short notice and for all the great pictures of our pups! I am so sorry that Stevie got into the potatoes and toilet paper. I really appreciate you!!”

Traci S.

“Amy is very pleasant and responded in a timely manner to messages. Rori was well taken care of and in good spirits when we picked her up. I would be very comfortable leaving her with Amy and Trevor again.”

“Parker was great. Very accommodating with a last minute booking. She clearly loves animals and my pups were well loved and tired when they got home! Would highly recommend.”

Emily B.

“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”

About: I have had dogs my entire adult life, up to 7 at one time, including a husky. I now only have 1, since I had to move and left the rest with my old roommate (some were his anyway, and I took the one that had chosen me as his human). Every dog I've ever had was properly trained to at least sit on command - with or without a treat. When I had the 7, I could have the pack surround me, and call them one by one for their treat, and only the one called would reach. People have watched my dog's behavior out in public and have aske if I could train their dogs! I have no formal training for dog training, but I did grow up watching Caesar on Animal Planet, and implemented his behavior training techniques with all of my own dogs when they were puppies, or from the time I accepted them in as strays. I have cared for others pets in the past, but not in a professional capacity. I sat for a friend of mine at her house, caring for 3 dogs and a cat. I fed the cat in the morning and at night and cleaned her litter box once a day. The dogs got fed on the same schedule, and spent the majority of the day outside in the fenced back yard unless it was raining. I went outside and threw balls and sticks for them a few times each day, for about an hour or so each time. I currently do not have a job, so I am available full time, any day or time. I have my own dog who prefers to not let me out of his sight, and will cry if I leave him at home alone, so getting a traditional job while living in an apartment is out of the question. With that said, I would need to bring him with me. He is going on 10 years old, and has never met a dog or person he didn't love. I am glad to bring him for a meet and greet before any commitments are made. Every dog has a way to let you know they need something. My dog prefers to attempt cuddles when he needs anything, leaving me playing a guessing game until I get it right. He gets super excited when I get it right! As a senior dog, I leave his food out 24/7, and check it in the mornings when I get up and at night when I go to bed to make sure it's not empty. If I notice that it's empty at any point during the day, I simply refill it. Same with his water. His potty schedule is pretty much the same - first thing in the morning, any time he asks during the day, and then one last trip out at bedtime. I know not every dog can follow this schedule, but I have also had dogs who needed me to set alarms to take them out every hour or two, until they were properly house trained. All I need from you is your dogs schedule.

“Justin was great, and so understanding about leaving our “baby” with him!! He lives in a great neighborhood and Ollie got some good walks in. We knew we’d left him in the right hands! Thanks Justin, Ollie will be back!!”
