Personalized care for your dog or cat - Sturgis

“Monica was very easy to work with and accommodating to us and our little doggie. She was especially gracious to do so near a busy holiday season. Will use again. Recommended.”

Aaron I.

“Couldn’t ask for better care and communication.”

Josh E.

“Gianna was amazing. I was scared to give my pups to someone, but instantly when I met her I trusted her. So many photos providing reassurance that I chose one of the best!”

Aly M.

“Amazing experience! Friendly and took very good care of Archie. He got to run around in their huge yard. Loved getting the pictures and videos of him playing.”

Brad H.

“Talon was fantastic to work with! She gave updates, sent pictures, and was overall so sweet to my pup. I would highly recommend her and will be boarding with her again!!”

Darian P.

“Brooke went above and beyond while watching my pups and sent me photos and videos often! She was quick to respond when I asked her how they were doing! No doubt I will be using her every time I leave town!”

Sara V.

“Hector and Sofia have now welcomed and cared for my 2-year-old dog, Wilson, three times this year. Most recently, they stepped in on very short notice for a last-minute trip I had to Baltimore, and I can’t express how grateful I am for their hospitality and flexibility. I know Wilson is always in good hands with them – they treat him with such love and care. I highly recommend Hector and Sofia to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters. Thank you both again for everything!”

Ricardo R.

“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!”

Patty B.

“Awesome sitter!! My baby looks like she had a great time. Will definitely use her again.”

Angelica A.

“Brittany gave AMAZING care for our two pugs! Between the daily pictures and very happy demeanor of the dogs when they picked them up, it was obvious that they were well cared for!”

Chris R.

“Ariel was great with my fur baby! My girl had not done very well in the past with traditional boarding kennels and this seems to be the perfect fit for her. Ariel was great with sending updates and pictures throughout the day to ease my mind.”

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.

“Jen was fantastic to work with and took great care of Dakota for the trip. Highly recommend!”

Natalie O.

“Sent updates and was very flexible to accommodate my schedule. Her dog was super sweet and my dog loved playing with him all day!”

What sets me apart is my deep understanding of each pet’s individual needs, coupled with my unwavering commitment to providing a safe and loving environment for your furry family members. Your pets will receive the utmost care and attention they deserve, every time. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, seamlessly woven into my schedule. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I prioritize ensuring that every pet in my care receives consistent, loving attention and the exercise they need to stay happy and healthy. My day is structured around providing top-notch care, making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. Your pet's well-being is always my top priority, and I manage my time effectively to ensure their needs are met without compromise. Creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment is my top priority when caring for pets. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure pets are comfortable, happy, and secure by following their routine, offering personalized attention, and maintaining a clean, pet-friendly space.

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: 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.

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!

“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!”

Howard S.

“Ally was a life saver! She paid my pup a visit on short notice when I needed to work late. Would definitely book her again.”

Drew W.

“Arianne was great with our boy Carbon. It was his first time spending a night without me or my husband present since we got him 3+ years ago, and she made sure that it wasn't a bad experience for him. We definitely went overboard when it came to providing information about him, but Arianne was able to handle it all without issue. 6/5.”

Victorie W.

“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!”

Cynthia O.

“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 ❤️”

Jenessa N.

“Talon/Savannah was great with our three standard poodles. She provided pictures and texted to let us know they were doing well - even though the puppy peed in the house...oops!!”

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

“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.”

Linda C.

“Boone loves staying with Mary! She gives me plenty of updates throughout the day, making it so I'm not worried at all. I know he's in great hands!”
