Pet Sitting & Boarding in Sioux Falls

Meet the Owners, Melissa & Copper

I provide loving, attentive care for dogs in the Sioux Falls area and have years of experience caring for my family’s and relatives’ dogs while they’re on vacation. Your pup will be treated like part of the family in a safe, comfortable home environment.

My home features a fully fenced backyard, upper and lower living levels, and one of my favorite (and most dogs’ favorite!) features—a full glass sunroom that overlooks the backyard. It’s the perfect spot for dogs to relax, soak up the sun, and keep an eye out for rabbits and other wildlife.

I have a 1.5-year-old Chiweenie named Copper who is very active, friendly, and gets along well with all dogs.

Before Copper, I had my chug, Kewley, for 16.5 wonderful years, so I’m experienced with dogs of all ages. That's his face in the Chug Life Inn logo! Copper is crate trained and is crated during short outings like when I attend church.

We go on daily walks, and your dog will be welcome to join us! Weather permitting, we also enjoy visiting small dog parks almost daily to burn off energy and have fun. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

My neighborhood is full of dogs and the people are friendly. It is a quite neighborhood on a quiet street. Pets can be crated at anytime if owner prefers.  Small-Medium size dogs only at this time (under 40lbs). Drop-in visits available for any size dog.
