Highlights
Pet care experience
The only kennel at North Entrance
I have been a dog lover, my whole life. My daughter, Maggie is actually named after my first dog! We have a three year-old great Dane mix that loves having friends over! If your dog would not love that we also have an outdoor kennel we offer in our home, one on one dog sitting and outdoor kennel stays in the front pasture. Our five horses are on site. We are five minutes from Gardiner at the north entrance to Yellowstone. The next closest kennel is 40 minutes north of us one way. Our property houses for vacation cabin rentals- LittleTrailCreekCabins.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Shawn was wonderful and our puppies were worn OUT when we returned. She sent pics during the day while we were hiking and was super communicative throughout the whole process. This was a wonderful way for our pups to have some fun while we did some not puppy friendly hikes on our RV trip. 10/10!


Shawn was wonderful! She took great care of our pup which allowed us to explore Yellowstone NP more freely. Would book again!

Shawn was amazing with my two dogs! I think they may have had a better vacation than we did! They were loved and looked after and we were provided updates each day of our stay.

I am on site pretty much every day. I may be doing yard work or cleaning one of our vacation rentals. I occasionally will drive to Gardiner or Livingston.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have the outdoor kennel in the front pasture. It has a partial roof and fenced in area. We also have dog treats inside the garage or if your pop would like they are welcome to hang out with me and my dog for the day which could include doing yardwork, going for a walk, going for a ride in the car, or at one of our vacation cabins. I am a retired nurse of 25 years.
Pets
A typical day
Most days I am on site cleaning a cabin, working in the yard or in the kitchen. Some days I travel to Livingston for supplies. We frequently take hikes in the backyard up Little Trail Creek. We have two ponds & a creek onsite. It’s a water lovers dream!
