We were in Big Sky on a weekend trip with 2 dogs and needed someone to help us care for our pups…read morewhile we were skiing. Jess and Billy were super responsive and came to meet us at our rental condo on Friday night even though I had to change the time 5 or 6 times due to flight problems. Sat morning we had problems because one of our dogs is terrified of avi bombing and refused to pee and poop. This could have ruined our ski day but at the last minute, Jess came to fetch the dogs and took them out for an extra walk so we didn't have to worry that they would need to go the bathroom while we were skiing and we didn't have to loop back to the condo to check on them. Hiking Hounds really made our ski weekend relaxed knowing our pups were well cared for and were getting out to enjoy the sun and snow while we were on the mountain. We'd definitely use them again the next time we're in Big Sky.

While planning our Yellowstone visit, we knew that our dog would not be allowed many places in the…read morepark. Before our journey started we started exploring boarding options for our dog. I was really impressed with their website and reviews. I called and had a long chat with Jenn. I knew that our dog would be taken care of. When we arrived for his week long stay, she met us outside and was so excited to meet our boy. I instantly felt comfortable. Throughout his week stay, Jenn sent me daily "proof of life" pictures, videos, and messages. It was such a relief knowing that he was well taken care of and was having fun, and, we were able to fully enjoy all that Yellowstone had to offer. I highly recommend Yellowstone Pet Boarding. They genuinely care about animals.

It was obvious they knew our dogs better when we picked them up! I only wish we lived closer! We highly recommend them!

From the owner: My name is Joslyn, and I am a full-time, kennel-free, bonded & insured pet sitter with 9 years…read moreprofessional experience. I board 3-4 dogs at a time. I have a family background of free-range cattle ranching & have raised, loved & cared for a variety of pet species- from guinea to exotic birds. Volunteering at several rescues, and helping raise several puppy litters, I have dedicated most of my life to learning about the spectrum of dog temperaments! I treat pets as if they our own, because in those moments, they really are! I love reassuring and bonding with animals. My effort is making them feel like they are on vacation themselves. I have a learned and experiential understanding of dog behavior. I specialize in a variety of dog energy levels and reactivities, including; rescues, elders, high energy dogs, hunting dogs, and puppies. I monitor constantly for their emotional states, taking note of confidence, over stimulation, and stress. This eye for behavior assures that I am in full control and always know where an emotional state is headed in a pack dynamic. I take away triggers like shared meal times with dogs from different families, with dedicated areas for feeding and bone chewing. Pets from different families are never left alone together. I am kennel free save for in the event that a pup is comfortable with crates, and use them normally.

The best place for dog daycare, boarding and grooming in Bozeman, Gallatin Gateway, and Big Sky…read morearea. Your dog will have so much fun!!! So incredibly happy and grateful that my dog Lily has been able to board with CC and her team for the last 4 days. I've been able to use Doggie Daycare & Motel 2 years ago between Christmas and New Years for Lily as well and the process is very straight forward. Lily was so calm, happy and tired when I picked her up which was perfect because she was going to fly on a plane a few hours after. CC responds quickly within a few minutes of your messages. I'm super impressed with her communication. She's professional, super friendly and approachable in my emails to her. I've never met her in person but I can tell she really cares about every dog or cat that stays at her facility. I checked in once to see how Lily was doing and she responded so fast. I'm grateful for CC and her business. She treats your pets like family. She has you fill out a form which includes details of your pet such as owner contact info, vet info, food, temperament, if you need additional services such as private walks, off leash hikes, private play, special treats for your dog, dates you'll need your pet taken cared of and pick up/drop off time. She was able to accommodate my drop off and pick up times even though I was running late. So kind. You'll need to send over vaccine records. I suggest you reach out to her months or weeks in advance for availability and to make sure you have enough time to get all the vaccines up to date. We didn't need to do an in person assessment prior to Lily's boarding but I couldn't anyway since I'm flying in from out of town. I did mention that my dog has gone through lots of dog training, daycare and boarding before with no issues. When you go inside of the room, you'll find 3 gates which includes an elevated dog bed inside. This is the waiting room. You'll leave everything your dog needs such as food and medication. CC recommended me to bring a soft bed next time. I flew in from out of state so it's a little hard but nonetheless she provided a soft bed for my Lily. I paid $30 per day for boarding. Super reasonable price. In California, boarding is at least $90-110 per night. My dog is spayed so $30 is the rate for Lily. For grooming, my dog is 12 lbs and I paid $90 not including tip. This is the best my dog has looked and she smelled so good. I even asked what shampoo/conditioner they used it was that good! They accept checks or cash only so I suggest stopping by the atm or bringing a check book. You'll see a printed invoice on the kennel gate when you pick up your dog. Hope this helps! I have used Rover in the past but this is so much better and reliable in my opinion.

We kenneled our dog for 1 week there. She was perfectly healthy and fine when we dropped her off…read more She hadn't seen any other dogs for a week prior to going to the kennel. When we picked her up she was very sick, coughing with Kennel cough. We took her to the vet and was told she was very sick with pneumonia. We have to give her antibiotics for 2 weeks, and tramadol to stop her from coughing and retching. She also had to get IV fluid. When we notified them how. sick she was, their response was "Oh bummer". So if you love your dog, you might not consider this place.

To start the process off for a new dog, there's a pretty comprehensive questionnaire. It's as much a questionnaire of the owner as it is about the dog, which is incredibly smart-- many dog owners are as much a problem as their untrained dog! After reviewing my answers, I got a call from the staff, getting Sombra and me scheduled up for a trial day. They managed my expectations, letting me know what would happen if Sombra turned out to have trouble at KTD, or if they needed me to come get her early. I booked a date for the trial, and off we went. The drop off was seamless. I got checked in, they said hello to Sombra, and she was escorted off to the daycare. The front desk staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and gave me a little card with a phone number to text if I wanted updates. They let me know what to expect, and when I could come pick Sombra up. Hours later, I come by to pick her up. The staff gave me the sitrep on how things went-- Sombra wasn't a great fit for the first play group, so they moved her out into a quieter one, where she fit in great! She spent the day playing with them, and things went smoothly. After the trial day, Sombra was approved to come by without appointment. I'm stoked to use KTD for daycare and possibly boarding in the future. They've won my trust, and Sombra's high standards for play groups. Thanks, KTD!

Many were full along with Pawliday Inn but TJ squeezed me in understanding my situation. Most of the time Eisenhower comes back from boarding kind of withdrawn, very clingy, like it wasn't an ideal experience. This time he was happy to see me but when he got home he was happy, normal, and curled up and slept. He was worn out from healthy play and fun. His eyes bright and happy. The facility isn't flashy but it's clean, the dogs pack up to play but each pup has an individual area for feeding so animal safety is important. That's about the only time dogs will fight is at feeding time. The entire facility is clean inside and out. I return here every year to ski and Eisenhower will see TJ and Pawliday Inn when I have leave town briefly.
