“Can’t thank these ladies enough for accommodating Tilly at the last minute. Pics were sent to me throughout the day with little updates. I highly recommend for all these reasons plus the fact that Tilly was visibly comfortable when I picked her up. Thank you for the love and care!”
“Highly, HIGHLY recommend. She took such great care of our mini Aussie. Look no further if you want someone to take great care of your pet. She is kind, compassionate, and professional. If you want peace of mind, this is it. Thank you, Timber misses you.”
“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.”
“Talon and the fam did a wonderful job. They took good care of our pup during our vacation and really helped ease our anxiety of leaving him. Sent lots of updates and was very communicative! Will definitely be reaching out again!”
“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 ⭐️!”
“All I can say is Wow! From the moment we arrived, Rebecca made our Rylee feel right at home. She got along well with and played hard with her Goldens so we could see the sights on our trip to the area. Her place is set up as a dog’s dream! If we come through again, we know where to bring our girl! Thank you Rebecca!”
“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: Dogs have always been a big part of my life! I grew up, always having at least two dogs in the house, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’ve also dog sat on many occasions for family members and friends, whether it was for a day or a whole weekend. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and of course, plenty of attention and cuddles! I understand the importance of needing someone you trust to care for your pets and you can trust me to treat your dogs like they’re my own :) I typically work three 12-hour shifts in a row which leaves me with several days off to spend with your pets during the week! This provides me with plenty of time to make sure your pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need rather than being left alone for long periods. You can trust that your dog can feel safe and comfortable at my home in my care. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can safely get outside for potty breaks and playtime, along with access to nearby parks and walking trails for plenty of exercise and exploring. I also have toys and treats available to make their stay extra fun. When caring for pets in my own home, I’m happy to follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedule, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I know pets are often most comfortable in their usual routine/home, so I’ll make sure they get lots of attention and care while they’re away and of course I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“5 STARS for Ariel, who provided extraordinary TLC for my rescued pup. She went the extra mile to provide daily photos and updates of his play time. She even let him sleep with her. She took him everywhere, including on a tour to see the neighborhood Christmas lights. I'd give her 10 stars, if that were possible.”
About: I'm an active gal who loves the companionship of a pooch while out and about. I love taking dogs on long walks or hikes through the woods or just down the city blocks for a quick leg stretch (and a bathroom stop). I'll be attentive to the needs of your dog, making sure they get plenty of activity, are well hydrated, and fed appropriately. While I don't have a dog of my own currently, I was a dog walker when I lived in New York City and I volunteered for two years with Border Paws Rescue in Rapid City caring for 5 - 10 pups for their pre-bedtime outings. I'm comfortable working with and providing a safe environment for the most goofy and social as well as the most solo and independent pups. I'm happy to accommodate any special needs you and your pup may have. I'm prompt and reliable. I hope to meet you and your pup soon! I work full time, but have flexibility to do bathroom breaks over lunch for kiddos that need more frequent outings. I can take pups on walks in the morning or evening depending on their activity needs. I have a small fenced in yard that is available for outside hangs. I am patient and kind and love to meet the needs of each pup where they are at. I have volunteered in a rescue and am comfortable around dogs of different temperaments.

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: 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.

“Lindsey was absolutely the best. She took excellent care of our pets and showed up at the precise times she said she would every day. The kitties seemed to warm up to her and we hope her care of them made our absence not so bad for them. We were truly pleased with everything she did for them and our home when we returned. Thank you, Lindsey!”
“We met Candice and felt confident in her love for animals. She took good care of our cats and even had a few extra visits. She sent photos and updates. We hope she will be available next time we leave town!”

“We left our beloved dog Eddie with Linda while we went to the Badlands (because dogs aren't allowed on trails in national parks!) and she was welcoming and excited to have Eddie spend the day with her. He was happy and tired when we picked him up. Thanks Linda - it was reassuring to have you watch Eddie that day.”
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
“I had the absolute best experience with Marshall and can’t recommend him enough. He was beyond accommodating with my random and unpredictable schedule for work while out in Rapid City. It was my first time using Rover as well as first time leaving my pup with a stranger but my nerves were quickly relieved to see how well my pup adjusted and got comfortable. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my Deuce ❤️”

There are 6 foot tall fences as well for their safety.
“We were in Rapid City to see Mount Rushmore and left our dog with Caroline and Alena for the day. She had room to run and even did some cultural enrichment (art) which we got to keep! I received updates throughout the day and my dog came home happy and exhausted! I would highly recommend whether you are passing through or in the Rapid City area looking for someone to take care of your pup!”
“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!”
