Meadow Ridge Pet Lodge officially welcomed the community with a ribbon cutting celebration at its new facility located at 2512 Marlin Drive in Rapid City. As a premium, all-in-one pet care destination, Meadow Ridge offers daycare, boarding for both dogs and cats, and training services designed to give pets a comfortable, enriching experience.
Established in 2025, Meadow Ridge Pet Lodge was created with the vision of redefining pet care in the Black Hills. The facility blends thoughtful wellness with elevated amenities, offering luxury suites, climate-controlled indoor and outdoor play areas, and even indoor and outdoor splash parks. One of its most unique features is a social space with 16 self-serve taps, creating an environment where pet owners can connect while their pets enjoy a day at the lodge. From training areas to VIP boarding spaces where pets can relax with their own TV, every detail has been designed to feel like a true home away from home.
The ribbon cutting marked the grand opening of the new facility and gave attendees a firsthand look at everything Meadow Ridge has to offer. Guests toured the grooming and training areas, explored boarding spaces for both dogs and cats, and experienced the welcoming, community-focused atmosphere. With drinks and popcorn in hand, visitors were able to connect, ask questions, and envision how the lodge will serve both pets and their owners.
“We’re proud to be part of the Rapid City business community because it’s built on collaboration, local pride, and people who genuinely support one another,” said Gary Westmark, one of the owners at Meadow Ridge Pet Lodge. “Rapid City values small businesses that invest locally, create jobs, and contribute to the quality of life and Meadow Ridge was created with that same commitment. Being part of a growing, engaged community allows us to build meaningful relationships with pet owners, partners, and neighbors while helping make Rapid City an even better place to live and work.”
With its innovative approach and strong focus on both pet wellness and community connection, Meadow Ridge Pet Lodge adds a unique offering to Rapid City’s growing business landscape. As new businesses like Meadow Ridge continue to invest in the area, they help strengthen the local economy while enhancing the quality of life for residents and their furry companions something we’re proud to support at Elevate Rapid City.
