The unspoken question every pet parent has. Here’s the answer.

  1. 7:00am

    Morning wellness check and breakfast in suite.

  2. 9:00am

    First yard time. Sorted by play style — gentle goldens with goldens, the rowdy crew with each other.

  3. 11:00am

    Quiet time, fresh water, optional grooming add-on.

  4. 1:00pm

    Second yard session. Splash park if it’s warm. The water dogs lose their minds.

    Dinner, decompression, one-on-one time with staff.

  6. 8:00pm

    Final yard break, bedtime in suite.

Before You Book

Can my two dogs share the same suite?

Yes. At Meadow Ridge in Rapid City, dogs from the same family can share any suite tier. The second dog is $40/night in a Classic Suite or $60/night in a Presidential. Let us know at booking so we can match the right size suite for both.

Do you board cats?

Yes. Cat boarding at Meadow Ridge in Rapid City is in our quiet, dog-free zone. $38/night includes multi-level condos, climate-controlled and Aerapy-purified air, daily wellness checks, and window views. Second cat (same condo): $35/night.

Do you offer holiday boarding?

Yes. Meadow Ridge takes holiday bookings throughout the year. Holiday weeks fill fast — we recommend booking at least 2–4 weeks ahead to lock in your dates.

Before the Stay

What vaccines do you require?

At Meadow Ridge in Rapid City, dogs need current Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella (within the last 6 months). Cats need current Rabies and FVRCP. Vaccine records must be on file 24 hours before drop-off. Call us if you have questions about your pet’s records.

What should I bring?

Bring: Your pet’s regular food (pre-portioned helps), any medications with written instructions, their own bed or blanket, familiar toys, and current vaccine records. We don’t charge extra if you bring your own food.

Don’t bring: Rawhides or anything irreplaceable.

What are your drop-off and pick-up hours?

Meadow Ridge in Rapid City is open for drop-off and pick-up Monday through Sunday, 7am to 7pm. After-hours pickup is available by prior arrangement — call ahead and we’ll make it work.

During the Stay

Will my dog be okay without me?

Almost every dog adjusts within the first day. We sort dogs by play style, give them quiet time when they need it, and make sure someone is always with them. If your dog is struggling more than usual, we’ll call you — no surprises. Most pet parents tell us their dogs come home tired, happy, and a little smug.

My dog has anxiety, is reactive, or is older — can you accommodate?

Yes. At Meadow Ridge in Rapid City, we routinely board anxious, reactive, and senior dogs. Tell us at booking. We adjust play groups, offer solo play time, check in more frequently, and place older or special-needs guests in our quietest suite block.

Can I add daycare or splash park access to a boarding stay?

Yes — both are available as add-ons at booking. Daycare lets your dog join the supervised play groups during the day rather than resting in their suite. Indoor splash park access is $5/day — open year-round, filtered water, slip-resistant surfacing. Just add either option when you book and we’ll work it into their day.

Can I check in on my dog while they’re staying?

Photo updates are available on request — text us anytime at (605) 415-9000. Presidential Suite stays include an in-room TV with calming background content. Tour-during-stay visits are available by appointment.

What if there’s a medical emergency?

Meadow Ridge has a clear emergency protocol. If your pet needs immediate care, we contact you right away and transport them to a local 24-hour emergency veterinary clinic. Your pet stays under our staff’s supervision until you can arrive, and their records and your contact info are accessible 24/7.

“We had an excellent experience at Meadow Ridge Pet Resort. The staff is amazing and the facility is great. We have never boarded our dog before this past weekend. Meadow Ridge made it a painless experience. We are planning to use Meadow Ridge again when we go on vacation.”
