Dog Boarding Walcott

“Cooper enjoyed his stay at Cynthia’s place. Couldn’t have asked for a better place for our dog. Cynthia was flexible and communicated with us about Cooper during his stay. We have found a home away from home for Cooper and will book again!”

“Absolutely could not be happier or more grateful for Margarita and her family. The whole process was super easy and after the meet and greet I left feeling 100% confident that bubba would be in great hands. Then traveling back home from Sioux Falls, we get hammered by blizzard conditions. The last 20 miles before finally giving up, I could barely see the lines on the road, let alone any cars in front of me. So we pulled off and checked in to a hotel. Thankfully Margarita was SUPER understanding and reassuring. I was in a bit of a panic worrying about this and that, and the fact that Loki didn't have to be one of those worries was a huge relief. When we finally made it back the next day I could tell he wasn't super thrilled about leaving, which is always what you want to see. (And with that massive yard, I can't blame him!) Will definitely be "boarding" with her and her family again in the future! Super communicative with updates and photos to put our minds at ease.”

“Allison and her family were amazing!!! Updates and pics were sent daily during the stay. When I picked my dog up she had the biggest smile on her face. Will definitely be rebooking!”

Kamryn K.

“I’ve re-booked with Stacy now and it’s been so seamless each time! She’s been flexible and my dog Jax really enjoys it here and appears very comfortable while under her care!”

Rachel S.

“Boarding with Cindy was a very positive and wonderful experience both for “Georgie” and me. She’s amazing with the dogs & a terrific and accommodating person. I would highly recommend Cindy for any dog needs.”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different personalities and needs. Over the years, I’ve been trusted to care for pets while their owners are away, making sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given plenty of love and attention. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can truly trust. I pay close attention to each dog’s normal routine and personality so they can feel as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing outside, cuddling on the couch, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the kind of care they’re used to. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and make sure you feel comfortable too. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you can see how your pup is doing while they’re with me! 🐾 I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for your pup! I also have a Golden Retriever of my own, so walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention are already a natural part of my daily routine. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give your dog plenty of attention and companionship without them being left alone for long periods of time. I’m happy to adjust to their normal feeding, walking, and potty schedule so they can feel as comfortable as possible. Having another furry friend around would be a welcome addition to our day! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are extremely important to me. We live on just over 5 acres with plenty of space to explore and our own walking trails throughout the property, which are perfect for getting outside, going on walks, and getting some energy out! Since I already have a Golden Retriever of my own, our home is very dog-friendly and we naturally have plenty of dog toys, supplies, and space for pups to feel comfortable. Our property is not fenced, so dogs will never be allowed to roam outside unsupervised. I’m more than happy to use a secure in-ground tie-out for dogs who are comfortable with one, or keep them leashed whenever we’re outside. I understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, so I’ll always follow your instructions and do my best to make your pup feel safe, loved, and at home while they’re in my care. Before their stay, I’d love for you to tell me a little about your pup—their personality, daily routine, favorite things, any quirks or tendencies they may have, and anything else you think I should know. The more I know about them, the better I can make their time with me feel comfortable and familiar! 🐾

“We just used Amy for the first time for our 2 dogs for an extended weekend getaway, and were very satisfied! She gave daily updates and pics. Communication was great, and I can tell she organized and very professional. Will look to utilize her again!”

“Cheyann has been amazing with our pups during vacations. One of dogs gets anxious at drop-off but settles in right away because of Cheyann. It is so comforting to have such an awesome dog sitter and pass her information along to people all the time.”

Mani B.

“The dogs were so happy with amber, she took really good care of them and even taught me things about my dog. Will definitely go back to her in the future.”

About: Hi, I am Joie, an experienced and caring pet sitter, dog foster, and owner of Dogwood Bed & Biscuit. I have had furry family members my whole life and have also been a dog foster for over 15 years. I just absolutely love all animals. I strive to provide a safe, fun home for the little dogs under 40 lbs. Ages 12 weeks to senior. I am experienced administering meds. Dogs are welcome to sleep wherever they are most comfortable, and I have more toys than most pet stores, as well as dog beds scattered throughout the house. I also have a dog door to the backyard; dogs are welcome to come and go to enjoy the sun in a safe, fenced-in yard or stay inside snuggled in a cozy bed. I can provide a kennel if the owner prefers. I will accept unneautered/unspayed pups but will not sit more than one at a time. I host meet-and-greets with all new families to ensure I am a good fit for your pup. I do work downtown in the afternoons on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but am home all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends. I do not offer house-sitting or drop-ins, but I am available for dog daycare and boarding. I can also possibly provide pickups and drop-offs within a certain radius for an additional fee. Feel free to reach out anytime with questions or concerns... I look forward to meeting you! I currently work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays and can be home all day on weekends. My fiancé, Andrew, is home all day Nov - April, so someone would be available each day to provide care as well.. I have a fenced-in yard and 2 fun, sweet pups that love new company. They can either be chill or playful depending on the circumstances. We also have a dog door for small dogs that want to use the backyard.

“Morgan has been absolutely fantastic! My dog was definitely a special scenario and she was so on top of all his needs to keep him safe and happy.”

Marill W.

“Katrina and Drew were amazing with our Poppy. It's the first time we have picked her up and she was hesitant to jump in the car to go home. We know she was well-loved and in good hands with them :)”

Elizabeth G.

“We had a great stay with Amanda and Michael! Our dog was there for 9 nights and we got updates daily as well as they reached out with any questions or concerns that came up which I really appreciated! Our dog came back happy and they seemed to treat her like family.”

“Brooke did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Bruno. He’s a large German Shepherd and can be pretty anxious in new situations, but she handled him with patience and care. She clearly knows what she’s doing and took extra time to make sure he was comfortable. She also kept me updated throughout the day, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again.”

John S.

“Drew & Lisa took wonderful care of our dog Lucy, sending regular updates on her wellbeing, and offering great communication. Highly recommend!”

Matthew J O.

“Robin is amazing!! She took such great care of my senior dog. She went above and beyond to make sure she was eating well and to make sure she got her meds. I was never worried for a second about our dog. I would use Robin over and over again to watch our dog!”

Juliana S.

“Merrill was fantastic. We left our new puppy with her for a few hours and everyone felt immediately at ease with Merill. We booked with her on short notice and Connie had the best time. We will definitely use Merrill again in the future.”

Thea C.

“Bob did a great job taking care of our miniature golden doodle. He walked him daily, gave him lots of outside time, naps and managed his picky eating. Bob is attentive to details and took notes at meet & greet and at drop off. Thanks for the great care Bob!”

Mary Beth E.

“This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone other than family. It was a great experience. Lots of updates and pics and they are treated like their own animals. Will book again.”

“Elizabeth did a great job! She was responsive with her communication. She was warm and inviting for our puppy. Oscar seemed to have a great time in her home. Thank you Elizabeth for providing wonderful care!”
