Dog Walkers in Sturgis, SD

“Kristin is very nice and accommodating. My dog immediately loved her.”

“Rosemary was amazing and Scarlett loved her. Was always on time and went the extra mile to make sure Scarlett was good. Highly recommend her.”

“Nathan is phenomenal with Billy!! He not only takes him for walks but he helps him learn tricks and shows Billy all the attention he so craves. He is a puppy so patience is necessary and Nathan definitely has that. Nathan is great with communication as well, always letting me know how Billy is doing and if he sees that maybe something is off with Billy health wise. I definitely trust him to take great care of my pup. :)”

“Monica has always been wonderful with animals, including her own. She is responsible and attentive. I would definitely recommend her if you need help with your fur babies.”

About: I am an animal lover. Having dogs my entire life, I know how hard it can be to leave them. It is my mission to provide love, comfort, and care so that pet parents can enjoy their trip. I love to be outdoors and you can count on your companion, to not only feel loved, but also have a lot of fun! I have a flexible schedule, am detailed minded and am able to take and follow directions. I have cared for many different animals to include dogs, cats, horses and dogs. I am able to care for both elderly dogs, puppies, and fur babies in the middle. I truly care for animals and love providing comfort and care daily, weekly, or long term depending on the needs of each family.

“Christina is so great with my dogs. She has a very kind and loving way about her. She does great with their odd personalities and makes sure they get what they need. Highly recommend!”

“Our pets are special. They're part of our family and mean a lot to us. We want to find someone we can trust to take care of them. Bethany is someone I would trust to take care of the pets I love so much. Bethany goes the extra mile, above and beyond what one expects to take care of the pets....and the people 😊....in her life. Her own german shepherd is so very much loved and cared for. Bethany not only loves the pets in her life but the pets in other people's lives. Bethany just cares. I think that's what motivates her daily living mantra.”

“Hi there! My name is Grace and I’ve had Madison watch my pups a couple times and we love her! I have a pretty shy German shepherd and she warmed up to Madison so fast 🥹❤️ she’s so sweet to my puppies and cares so much for each one she takes care of🥰”

About: I grew up with dogs and have taken care of them since I was little. I am SO PASSIONATE about dogs but our apartment building does not allow them. I would love to help out you and your family, while conveniently doing the thing I LOVE: hanging out with dogs!!! While o my 5’3”, I can definitely hold my own with bid dogs and those struggling with leash manners! I try to walk dogs at the local shelter once a week as well. I’ve never met a dog I haven’t loved!!! During the summer I have a fairly free schedule and am able to move around the responsibilities I do have to meet my needs. I go on a long walk at least once a day and would love to bring your dog along with me! I love our small town area and the country life ! I can’t bring dogs home with me but would love to take them in the car when needed and you can trust me in your home to meet the needs of your dog(s)

“Carissa has been amazing with my dog and more importantly my dog loves her. From the daily walks to the extra treats she knows the way to a dogs heart.”

“Jaden is wonderful. She came promptly to meet Oliver. She was familiar with the breed. She came the next day promptly and sent a message that all went well. My only regret was not being in her area to get to know her. She is so likable.”

“There is no question of Jade's trustworthiest and her love of animals. She is an exceptional caretaker of both large and small animals. She is not only an exceptional caretaker but knowledgeable, reliable, efficient and devoted. She demonstrates enormous love and compassion for all animals.Her rates are very reasonable for the services she provides. She is not your average pet sitter. She will do whatever you ask of her whether it be taking your dog for walk or just giving them the love and support while you are away.. Animals love Jade.”

“Abbie is SO great! We were vacationing in Deadwood, SD and wanted someone to check in our 12yo dog while we were out during the day. Abbie responded to all texts in a timely manner (almost immediately). She was also very flexible with the times that work best for Rocky and us. She sent photos and gave a detailed report on what Rocky was up to when we were gone. She is so good with dogs and knows what they need, like fresh water and extra love. Highly recommend! Wish I could give more than 5 stars.”

“Elan was amazing, he made our dogs comfortable enough that they just walked away with him without even looking back for us. He seems to be very good with pets and we highly recommend Elan to any one looking for a dog walker/sitter in his area. We would use his services again if we are ever back in South Dakota, thanks for your help with our pooches!”

About: I love caring for people and animals alike. Caring for and being around animals is rejuvenating to me when I need to recharge after working at the hospital. I work three, 12-hour shifts/week full time as a nurse in the hospital. My shifts are variable times and days. If you reach out to me early enough, I could potentially block days off in my hospital schedule. If you just need me to stop in and feed and/or walk your pet, I can possibly do it before, or after work depending on my shift that day. I treat others' pets as I would want mine cared for. I am calm and gentle around all animals and give them their space if they need it. I have experience in training dogs, and will encourage good behavior with exercise, gentle commands, routine and treats. If you, as the owner, are disciplining your pet a specific way, I try to continue that type of training and reinforcement in your absence. I never use a harness to walk a dog as this encourages the dog to pull and one cannot hold their focus to the discipline of being led/walked. I have experience in walking all different sizes and breeds of dogs.

“I’ve known Sadye for well over a decade and she owned pets and taken great care of them and she also helped raise and train my current dog. She is great with pets and I would trust her with mine any day. She knows how to introduce pets safely and she will keep them loved and busy in her care.”

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. Family and friends love when I come by to give their dogs attention. I also take good care of animals like how I want to be treated. Pet care can fit into my schedule I am home mostly during the day and I work on my own time. You can count on me. I love to go for walks no matter how cold it is, and I love to play with dogs or cats. I would take good care of the animals.

“The walk was a good distance for my dog. Everything was put away as asked.”

“Barak has been our neighbor, son's school mate and friend since 2004. Both of our families have had multiple pets over the years. He loves animals and always kind and gentle with them. He has also intermittently taken care of our pets when we went out of town. And since we had him do it multiple times obviously he did very well. As for walking animals - well Barak is very athletic and always exercising in some fashion - this would be a excellent job for him.”
