⭐ DR Ranch Dog Camp ⭐

Welcome to ⭐ DR Ranch Dog Camp ⭐—where every stay feels like summer camp for your dog! For more than 35 years, our family has been caring for dogs. Since opening our facility in 1989, we’ve welcomed countless furry family members through our gates. While boarding is what brings many people to us, what sets us apart is that we’re professional dog trainers. We understand canine behavior, know how to safely manage playgroups, and create a fun, structured environment where dogs can exercise, socialize, and build confidence. Our goal is simple: we want your dog to have just as much fun on their vacation as you do on yours. Every day includes supervised play, plenty of outdoor time, socialization with compatible dogs, enrichment, and lots of personal attention. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter pace, we work to make sure every guest has a safe and enjoyable stay. Life on the ranch is always full of activity! Along with our canine guests, you’ll find kids, pigs, chickens, cats, and plenty of wide-open space. It’s a fun environment that keeps dogs engaged while giving them the opportunity to explore, play, and simply enjoy being dogs. Safety is our highest priority. Dogs are housed in clean, secure kennels with comfortable dog houses, fresh water, and regular feeding schedules. Throughout the day, they’re brought out for supervised exercise and carefully managed group play before settling in for a well-earned rest. Someone is on the property 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so your dog is never without care. To help keep every dog healthy, we do require all guests to be current on their vaccinations. We’d love the opportunity to welcome your dog to DR Ranch Dog Camp and show you why so many families trust us with their four-legged family members.

Boarding • May 30, 2026

Lilo and I both loved the remote, mountain atmosphere of Brett and Sara's farm and Retriever breeding and training center. She was at home from the moment her paws reached the ground! She also was very active during her stay, which continued once she was home. The exercise, although she does at home, was particularly good for her. She was a little miffed that I left her for 5 days, but that's just Lilo, thoroughly spoiled! I would definitely board Lilo with Brett and Sara again if travels cause us to be apart.

Sara was exceptionally accommodating of my timeline, communicated with me professionally and thoughtfully, and it was clear she cared for Crumpet on a personalized level. I am going to make up reasons to be back in this area just to enjoy the views and for my elderly Great Dane to be loved on in the same way again!

Sara was really good to work with, I felt very comfortable leaving our little 14yr old dog with her.

Sara is a good person, and we were happy to find her, she was very flexible with us, which we really appreciated. However, when we picked up our dogs, they were smelling very bad, and one of them started coughing a lot afterwards. Unfortunately, it seems like he may have gotten sick during his stay.

Brett and Sarah have an amazing and spacious place! Getting there was easy and the drop-off process was quick. They are truly caring people for animals AND their owners. We got into a situation and had to call a tow truck and were late picking up our furbaby, and they were very lenient by not charging us extra and also recommended a towing service. Will definitely use them again! Thank you Brett and Sara.

Schedule

Pet care isn’t just part of our routine—it’s our career and our passion. As professional dog trainers, we’re with the dogs from sunup to sundown every day. Whether we’re cleaning kennels, supervising playgroups, providing enrichment, or training, caring for dogs is what we do full-time. When your dog stays with us, they’re spending their day with experienced professionals who are dedicated to keeping them safe, active, and happy while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

When dogs stay with us, they become part of the DR Ranch Dog Camp family. Our days are built around a consistent routine of feeding, exercise, supervised playgroups, potty breaks, enrichment, and plenty of individual attention. As professional dog trainers, we carefully monitor every interaction to ensure dogs are safe, comfortable, and having a great time. Each dog has a clean, secure space to rest, but they also spend plenty of time outside enjoying our fenced play areas and socializing with compatible dogs. We treat every guest as if they were our own and strive to make their stay feel like a fun vacation while giving owners complete peace of mind.

A typical day

Every day is an adventure at DR Ranch Dog Camp! Dogs enjoy supervised playgroups, plenty of outdoor exercise, and lots of time exploring our ranch near the Jefferson River in beautiful Twin Bridges, Montana. With wide-open spaces, fresh air, and room to run, it’s the perfect place for dogs to burn energy, build confidence, and simply enjoy being dogs. As professional dog trainers, we carefully supervise every activity and tailor playgroups to each dog’s personality, age, and energy level to ensure a safe and positive experience. For owners who would like their dog to learn while they’re away, we also offer training during boarding for an additional $10 per day.

The more we know about your dog before their stay, the better! Please let us know about any medical conditions, allergies, medications, dietary needs, or behavioral concerns. We also ask that you tell us if your dog has any history of aggression, is an escape artist or fence jumper, or has any special accommodations they may need. For the safety of all of our guests, we require every dog to be current on their vaccinations. Our goal is to provide a fun, safe, and stress-free experience for every dog that comes to DR Ranch Dog Camp.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
