Dog walking, cat care, and pet sitting from a small family operation that treats your pet like one of our own — because while they're with us, they are.
Small by design: we never care for more than two guest pets at a time, so yours always gets real attention.
Three simple services, done carefully. No packs of ten dogs, no crowded kennels — just calm, personal care.
Leashed walks around your neighborhood or our favorite quiet country trails. Every walk ends with fresh water, a treat (with your OK), and a photo update.
Drop your pet off with us for the day or overnight. Guests get their own comfy indoor room, a private entrance, a fenced outdoor run, and a full acre for supervised outdoor time.
Some pets are happiest in their own space. We'll come to you for feeding, playtime, litter box care, walks, and lots of company while you're away.
No memberships, no booking fees, no surprises. Every service includes a photo update and a quick note.
The name isn't just a pun. This is the pledge we make to every family:
— The Pawsitive Promises family Brandon, SD · serving Brandon & Sioux Falls
Pawsitive Promises was started by our 14-year-old daughter, Lizzie, who has loved animals for as long as she could point at one. What began as watching neighbors' pets turned into a real business — one she takes seriously.
She handles the fun part: the walks, the play time, the belly rubs, and the photo updates you'll get at every visit. Her parents handle everything else — scheduling, safety, insurance, and the business side. An adult is involved in every booking, from your first meet & greet to drop-off day.
We think that combination is exactly what pet care should be: someone who genuinely delights in your animal, backed by grown-ups who sweat the details.
Come meet usA peek at the pets we've cared for and where overnight guests stay — a dedicated indoor room, private entrance, and fenced outdoor run.
Three easy steps from "we're going out of town" to "our pet is in great hands."
We meet you and your pet — free, no pressure. You see how we click, we learn their routine, and you get all your questions answered.
Pick walking, a stay with us, or in-home visits. We confirm the details in writing so everyone knows exactly what to expect.
Photos and notes at every visit. Come home to a happy pet — and a full report of the fun they had without you.
Close to home on purpose — short drives mean more time with your pet.
Our home base. Walking and in-home pet sitting anywhere in Brandon, plus drop-off stays at our place on the northeast side of Brandon.
