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.

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.

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.

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!
