Doggy Day Care in Tea

“One of the VERY FEW people we trust to watch our pups.💛 Always quick to respond & is great with updates too! They love hanging with her pup & are always so excited when we pull up to her house!”

About: I have been around dogs for a large majority of my life and have even earned the joking nickname of “dog whisperer” among my friends. I fell in love with caring for animals with my first dog, Mattie, when I was only 4 years old. Since then my family and I have housed 9 dogs in total over the last 23 years, 6 from rescues. For as long as I can remember I have been asked to dog sit/walk for anyone who knows my love for animals. I am the proud owner of 2 adoptees currently, Baymax and Tator-Tot. Both are well trained through classes at Smoken Dakota Kennels. I am NOT a certified dog trainer by any means, but I am fully confident I can teach some basics or even a set you up with a trainer or training class! I am trained in animal CPR. I usually spend my days taking care of my 2 dogs which includes, walks, going to the park, working on our training and some rest periods in between to keep everyone’s mood positive. I usually bring my parents’ 4 dogs with me, but that is not a requirement of my day by any means. Yes, I typically spend my days taking care of 6 dogs with only 1 being a small. So I am very used to high energy days and having my eyes everywhere at once! I have a fenced in backyard with 6’ wooden fences ,grass lawn and water access. I like to take the dogs out to parks or for hikes as opposed to keeping them locked up in the backyard. For parks I usually keep it to the Sioux Falls area with Family and Spencer being my most frequented. Hikes I will go as far as Luverne but that’s a rare occasion. I usually do leashed walks but occasionally I will let my dogs loose in the off-leash side of family park. While resting we usually just go inside for some A/C, water, and a nap for the pups. Occasionally on a nice cool day we will just stay outside and rest.

“Kobe has been going to Cathy’s for a couple of weeks now. He is so excited when we pull up to her house. Cathy updates me with pictures and is so attentive. She eased all of my anxiety about sending him somewhere new!”

“Nala had such a good time with Alexandra and her girls! She was instantly all over them and I picked her up happier than I left her! She pouted for a while after we left so I know she was well loved and got LOTS of attention 🥰 thank you so much!”

“Jessica kept our pup comfy and well taken care of while we were out and about for the day! She was understanding of our dog’s quirks too. 😊”

About: I have experience with cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I currently have three black labs that I’ve had since they were puppies. Rue and Boone had a litter of 9 puppies in September of 2018. They were born at home and stayed until they were 8+ weeks old. We decided we had to keep one and that’s how we wound up with our third pup, Grizz. Separate from Rover, I work full time and have a toddler. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and I do this to give other fur parents peace of mind. When I come to visit your pet I will make sure their needs are met in whatever capacity you request. I’m happy to take them on a walk or play with them to help expend some of their extra energy! **House Sitting Bookings** Generally, I will visit no less than 3 times, per day, for a full day of house sitting. If your pets bathroom break needs or medical needs require more frequent visits, I will adjust for that. Each visit will entail a minimum of 30-60 minutes spent with your pet. If you would like me to stay the night at your house, please let me know; otherwise, I will do a late night check and an early morning check the following day. I treat every house sitting booking individually based on your expectations and what we discuss. If you have questions, please let me know!

“Jenny has taken SUCH good care of my pup! He’s 7 months old and a rescue so he can have some anxiety, but she has been literally amazing with him! 10/10 recommend her every time!!”

“Cappy must have had a great time at daycare as he seemed happy when we walked to the car and was tired out when we got home. Sounds like Quinn is his new best friend.”

Lynna B.

“Christina has a fantastic fenced in backyard and a very friendly dog. You can tell she enjoys interacting with the dogs too! She sent some videos and pics to let us know how they were doing. We can tell they had an absolute blast with her family! We barely made it in the door and they both flopped over from being tired! We will be definitely be repeat customers!! THANK YOU!!!!!”

Sheila H.

“Dallas has the best time and was so loved! They gave us updates through out the day and it made me so happy to see how much fun he was having!! We will for sure be booking with them again!!”

“Kevin was very accommodating to our 12 week old basset puppy. She was not 100% potty trained but he was able to keep her on his main floor that was bare floors. Lily was tired when we arrived at our overnight hotel, so sure that Kevin played with her and took her for several walks around his neighborhood over the 4 hours he was with her. We appreciate Kevin and would surely contract with him again. Thank you.”

About: My family has been fostering dogs through a local rescue organization for a few years. We have had about 30 foster dogs in our care throughout that time. Due to our frequent travel schedule, we have been unable to commit to adopting a dog of our own right now, so we love to squeeze in time with dogs when we are home. My kids love meeting and caring for new dogs! I work from home during the week, so am able to attend to the dogs in our care during the day. Another bonus is that we don’t have a resident dog, so your dog or dogs in our care will get our full attention. We have a fenced in backyard with a 6ft privacy fence. Lots of space to play fetch! I work from home during the day, so dogs in our care would rarely be left home during the day and usually only short stints in the evening or weekends. We love to take walks with dogs in our care and play in the backyard. We have a 6ft privacy fence in the backyard and multiple crate sizes and gates if needed. We do not have any resident pets and would discuss with the pet owners before taking on more than one pet at a time.

About: I have extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions. What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of animal behavior, patience, and ability to provide personalized care based on each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with basic training, administering medication, and ensuring pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Whether it's energetic playtime, gentle walks, or comforting care for older pets, I always prioritize their well-being and happiness. I do not work full time, so I have plenty of time and energy to give to your pet! I'll make sure they get the attention and love they deserve. I have a fenced yard and it is safe and secure neighborhood. I also have a area for cats only so they can have their privacy if needed.

About: Hi everyone - I was a mom to older English Bulldogs who have recently passed and understand the need for a sitter at times. I used to use a dog sitter myself during the day and understand how hard it can be to get home sometimes! Now that my doggos are no longer with me, I would love to help you out. I work from home so can accept daycare or overnight boarding at my place. I live in a safe neighborhood and have a fenced in backyard for all of the potty breaks and I can also bring them on short walks if requested. I live in a zero-entry, one-level home with no steps which is great for pets with bad joints.

About: I would love to take care of your fur babies in our ‘pups paradise’! I live just a few minutes West of Sioux Falls on 20 acres! There is plenty of room for your fur babies to run, play & enjoy some time in the country! I have tons of experience caring for critters of all ages… from young to elderly… low energy to tons of energy…. and the super social to not so social. I love them all! I am currently working from home which allows me the opportunity to take extra special care of your four-legged family members. This includes time outside & plenty of play time! I have a very large, fenced backyard where your pups can run and play! Whether they are social and enjoy playing with others or appreciate a little more solitude, I can adjust the space to meet their needs and keep them safe & comfortable while you’re away!

“Such a sweet family Krysten took my guy at the last minute for the whole afternoon into the evening and clearly he enjoyed himself. She sent a video and a photo just the kind of home you want your best buddy to to be in when he can’t be with you.”

“Jordan was fantastic. She is extremely friendly and good with our dog. I was very appreciative as we were only in Sioux Falls for the weekend and needed an afternoon dog sitter. She was great and helped make our trip go smoothly. Would definitely recommend her services.”

Bobbi A.

“Anna and her family are great! We used her daycare services while we had some work being done at our house and she was super flexible when we needed to adjust days last minute. Anna takes such good care of our pup, I highly recommend her!”
