What a great people! This was my first rover.com booking & Candice was soooo patient as I figured out how to do this. I saw a big difference in my older dachshund Dora compared to how stressed she has been after staying at a kennel compared to staying in a home. She was calm & her normal self when I picked her up compared to the stress I've seen in her when I've left her at a kennel. I received lots of pictures, could see that she was doing fine. Had a last minute change in plans, needed to pick Dora up about 90 minutes later than I'd expected, and Candice & family made it work. Thank you! I would definitely book with them again.

I was so nervous to leave my dog for the first time to go on vacation. I was happy to receive lots of pictures and videos. He also got to go on lots of walks. Our dog seemed very happy and well taken care of.

About: I have been working with and taking care of dogs for the last 5 years ranging from 5lbs-110lbs. I am a professional dog trainer in the black hills area trying to make my dreams come true with my personal dogs. I love dogs ranging from any sizes with any personality, your dog will receive the best care I can provide in my home at all times with update photos and messages. I will keep your pet well exercised and entertained in my home. I look forward to working with you! I currently work from home so I am available for your pet at all times during the day and night. I can take emergency boarding and pet care or scheduled care. I live in an apartment but my dog is walked at least 3 times a day, outside of walking we love hiking and training daily! He is a super playful sweet 9 month old golden retriever who will always be okay with playing with your pup! I can easily crate your dog if directed by you! I will provide your dog with lots of puzzle toys and games to keep them entertained and fulfilled in their time here!

Absolutely amazing experience with Brooke. I would definitely take my pup back to Brooke in a heartbeat and completely trust that she is in good hands. The five nights Brooke dogsat my Maltese at her place, I regularly got updates with pictures and videos even multiple times a day. I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about my dog a single time, all thanks to Brooke and her prompt responses and fun updates! She was very easy to talk to, knowledgeable and personable. When I was picking my pup up, Brooke gave me a summary of my pups stay, such as, how she has been eating, etc. not to mention how wonderfully my pup smelled and she even had a new hairdo! I would absolutely recommend Brooke to anyone who wants their dog spoiled while they are away!

I recently left my 2 yo dog, Wilson, in the care of Hector and his sister for 10 days while I was traveling abroad, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Hector provided good care, love and attention. I received regular updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was overseas. It's clear that Hector and his family are true dog lovers, and I highly recommend his service to anyone in need of a reliable and caring host. 5 stars ⭐️!

Melissa was amazing, and I'm thrilled we found her to watch our dog. She was incredibly easy to work with, she was a great communicator, and mostly importantly she took fantastic care of our dog. I will not hesitate to connect with her again next time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommended!

Brittany was AWESOME with our special needs (acute separation anxiety) Schnauzer mix named Cooper!! She was able to take him with her to work and gave him meds when he go anxious. She also sent photo updates during his stay to let us know how he was doing. I highly recommend Brittany and we will definitely be using her again in the future!!

About: My daughter Trenna and I grew up with dogs and cats and we love all their different personalities and they bring so much joy to our lives. When you get a dog it’s a commitment. They are our kids. I am looking for a partime job. What a fun opportunity to do something I love. I have three dogs/kids myself. I can’t wait to get home from work and. see their wiggly tails. They don’t care what kind of day you just had, they just want to love on you. When I am home they are wherever I am. During the day they are in their kennels. Two of them are not even 2 yet so they like their toys.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and years of hands-on experience caring for them. I currently have two French Bulldogs and a Schnauzer, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and the daily care dogs need to feel comfortable and happy. Friends and family regularly trust me to dog sit because they know I treat every dog like my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog loves playtime, walks, or just relaxing and getting attention, I’m happy to match their routine and provide plenty of care and affection. I’m currently a college student on summer break, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. Because of this, I’m able to give dogs lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods of time. Caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love making sure they feel comfortable, active, and loved while their owners are away. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home. At my home, I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and spend time outside with supervision. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, so I’m happy to follow any instructions the owner provides, including feeding schedules, walks, crate routines, medications, playtime, or specific house rules. My goal is to make pets feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in good hands.

About: I have grown up with dogs, owned (and currently own) a dog, and absolutely LOVE them as my own. We have an enclosed dog run with a dog door onsite. They are spoiled beyond measure and treated better than a family member. I have a flexible work schedule which allows me to spend quality time with your pet! I am available on weekends and holidays, as well as weekdays depending on notice. I have a fenced in dog run with a dog door. I can easily crate your dog if that is helpful to his/her routine. I do have 2 dogs onsite but can keep them separate if needed. We live on 3 acres and walk our dogs every day! They are Family!

About: My family has had a dog since I was in high school and I have been around dogs ever since. I am here to help. I work full time and I am home every night so will have plenty of time to go for a walk or play with your pets. I have a good size fenced in yard to let the pets go play and have fun with toys or I like going for hikes and can take them with!

This dog sitter a decent sized backyard with dogs of their own. They allow pups on the trampoline and that is enjoyable for my dog. The couple seems very loving! We received pictures and updates "from our dog," about his time there and how much he missed us. It seems like he had fun and was well taken care of!

Candice did a great watching our dog while we went on vacation. This was my first time using Rover. Scheduling for drop off and pick up was very flexible. My "dog" also sent me pictures and updates throughout her stay. I'd recommend Candice and Cody if you're needing a safe and friendly place to board your pet.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Sturgis

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sturgis on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 40 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sturgis. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sturgis home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Sturgis.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Sturgis sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in SD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
