Trusted Small Dog Boarding in Sioux Falls

Melissa is an animal lover, especially dogs. She has taken care of my dog several times and he just loves being there and always very happy when we pick him up. She feeds him appropriately, exercises and plays with him. I can ensure your four legged family member is in good hands with Melissa.

I recently hired Melissa to watch my French Bulldog, and she was fantastic! Finding someone knowledgeable about the specific needs of Frenchies was my top priority, and Melissa exceeded expectations. She took wonderful care of my fur baby, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such capable hands. My pup had a blast playing with her dog, Copper, and came home happy and well-rested. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a responsible and breed-savvy sitter!

[Boarding • Mar 01, 2026]  Melissa is marvelous! My pups were obviously very comfortable in her home and I will not hesitate to book again with her in the future!

[Boarding • Feb 04, 2026] Melissa‘s kindness, sincerity, and genuine warmth shine through from the moment you meet her. Her home has that same welcoming energy –comfortable safe and full of thoughtful touches. The meat-and-greet Melissa offered before the stay was generous and reassuring, and Copper, her pup, was the perfect host – basically the mayor of hospitality town! He welcomed Peanut like an old friend and immediately showed her around. Melissa was flexible, thoughtful, and attentive, and she sent photos and videos throughout Peanut’s stay that absolutely made my day. Peanut came home ready for a nap, content, and clearly well-cared for – the Holy Trinity of a perfect pup vacation! Copper even taught Peanut how to go down the stairs, which definitely deserves its own merit badge. I am grateful for people like Melissa who create a safe, honest, and welcoming space for visiting pups. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely caring home for their dog. You almost want to ask if she offers human boarding too. Melissa is agem – five stars, many tail wags, and a standing ovation from Peanut.

[Boarding • Feb 09, 2026] Melissa took such good care of Mini! And her dog Copper was a great playmate. Melissa kept us updated during Mini’s stay, sharing photos and videos. She’s a keeper!
