Pet Sitters in Edilou

We boarded our dog for a week while we stayed in Yellowstone. Her stay was fantastic! What a great place! She was safe and happy and we could relax and enjoy the park. Thank you so much for caring for her as we would.

Would have made a reservation for our two herding dog mixes but they don’t accept pit bulls or pit bull mixes. I had the best rescue pit for more than 10 years. This policy reflects poorly on this business.

We couldn’t be happier with everything that Blake, Elizabeth, and amazing acres have done for our puppy. We started taking her a few moths ago and there is no doubt that they are helping her become such a social and happy dog. They are so awesome dealing with any of my questions and are always quick to respond. We will be taking Jolene (and any future dogs) to amazing acres as long as they’ll have us!

We boarded both of our cats and they both did very well! We will definitely bring them here again when we need to board them.

We love the care and attention that Rusty receives here! Blake and his staff make it so much easier to leave our fur baby because we know he will be happy and well taken care of!

We absolutely love Amazing Acres! Our dogs do too. Blake and Elizabeth were wonderful to work with and took great care of our pups. Blake has built a beautiful facility and was very clear about rules and guidelines for our dogs' stay, which we greatly appreciated. Our dogs came home happy and tired. :o)

We scheduled a tour with Blake and really liked the facility. We then scheduled our two dogs for doggy daycare for a trial run . Everything went great so we scheduled them for a week. I'm one of those pet parents that cries when I leave my dogs and then worry about them the whole time. I didn't cry and I didn't worry about them once! It was so great. Blake posts pictures on his Facebook page so you can see your fur babies and what they are doing. Thank you so much! It really is an amazing pet resort.

Such a great and well run facility! Our basset hound Lance recently spent 12 days at Amazing Acres and came home very tired and missing all of his new friends. The photos that were regularly posted gave us such a sense of comfort that he was doing well and hadn’t been grounded for chewing something up. 😁. The resort is clean and laid out in such a way to accommodate dogs of all sizes. There’s also a great space for kitties. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend this place! We were so grateful to have our two pups stay here for a couple of days. Blake was extremely communicative and accommodating to our pups specific needs. I was extremely impressed with the facility. It was clean, the kennels were big and each included a doggy door.

Blake and Elizabeth were an absolute joy to work with. Blake is very clear with his expectations only to make the experience a positive one for you and your pets. I was a little concerned because my dogs are with me 24/7, but both of our dogs did great. Please look no further if you're looking for a quality, professional place to board your pets. Plus, you would never guess it was a boarding kennel, it smells so clean when you walk in! I do believe we've found our go-to kennel for the future. Thank you Blake and team!

Summit is by far the best place I've taken my dogs. I've tried most places in the Bozeman and Belgrade area and Summit stands above them all. You can tell their team takes pride in what they do and really take good care of the dogs. The dogs get far more supervision compared to most larger boarding facilities as well as more room/time to run around outside. Needless to say, my dogs absolutely love this place and I can trust they are in good caring hands.

Summit is the absolute BEST daycare/boarding in the area!! I feel so blessed to have found them. They are incredibly attentive, understanding, and very sweet owners. Bandit used to start shaking and dread going to his other daycare in Bozeman so I knew I had to try somewhere else. Then I found Summit!! Bandit was sooo excited to go every day and came home exhausted. I wish I wasn't moving out of state because I know I won't find another facility like them! If you're doggy daycare shopping, this is the one. Thank you guys for taking wonderful care of Bandit <3

Jeff and Olivia are the best! My dogs are always so happy to go either for the day or for sleepovers. I highly recommend Summit Pet Resort.

Highly recommend Summit Pet Resort for dog ranch day care and/or boarding. The owners at Summit are like second parents to our best boy, Conner!

I wanted to write this review for any folks that also have nervous and shy pups as we do. You can take my review with a grain of salt considering our pup was only here for a couple of hours and I don’t really know how to properly rate them however I also don’t think that it would’ve been fair to give Summit a bad review seeing as I don’t think they are fully to blame for our dog not making it through her trial and most of my experience with them was positive even though we were denied. They also have tons of great reviews (which is why we tried it out) so I’m sure it’s a great place to leave your dog. I can only speak towards my experience and ultimately we really wanted it work out. The facility has a massive field for dogs to run around in and play which unfortunately happened to be a negative in our case. A bit of background, we got our pup at 4 months old and sadly she wasn’t properly socialized with strangers and despite our best efforts to get her socialized she remains timid around unfamiliar people unless she is around them consistently. I informed Summit of this and to my dismay was given a call just two hours after I dropped her off telling me to come pick her up because they weren’t able to grab her in the fenced in area. So my suggestion, and their recommendation to me is to find a place with a smaller play area. We have actually taken her to Know Thy Dog and Bark City previously and she has been accepted to both. We love our dog dearly and have given her every opportunity to become a more confident dog with things like training, taking her to work most days, and occasionally enrolling her in daycare. Unfortunately, she is just a timid dog and Summit wasn’t able to accommodate her which is totally understandable and I don’t fault them for it. It just wasn’t a good match and we are disappointed because honestly from the very little interaction we had with staff I felt they were very nice, the sign up was easy, and they were available for daycare and boarding when others were full, so if you have a very friendly dog this is probably a great fit for you, we certainly wish our dog was able to stay here and get all that running room. But for those who have shy dogs like ours maybe try a smaller place. My only negative thing I have to say about Summit is when I asked for a bit of refund for the day, since she was only there for 2 hours, they told me she received plenty of one on one time, almost an hour and a half worth, and should be very tired and then followed that by saying they don’t do refunds on trial days. If they had just told me they don’t do refunds on trial days and that’s their policy I wouldn’t have minded and totally understood, but to tell me the reason I’m not getting a refund is because she got a bunch of one on one time right after you just called me to pick her up because she wouldn’t come near you doesn’t really add up to me. If you can’t get near her I wouldn’t consider that one on one time, I would say that’s alone time. Just tell me you don’t do that and that’s all you have to say. That’s super nit picky though and would be my only constructive criticism for the team there (didn’t really expect to be refunded anyways just thought I’d ask). Anyways, give these guys a shot, it seems like a great place, but don’t be surprised if you get denied having a shy pup.

The best dog care option in the valley, in my opinion. They post photos of your dog on social media, which is a fun way to check in and see how he is doing. We've never had a bad experience at Summit, and they've been flexible and understanding (even despite the fact that our dog is currently a 9 month old 60lb Australian Shepherd who still in full blown puppy mode).

I have utilized this facility a few times in the last year and a half, and I have always been impressed. Recently, my pets stayed for about a week. Roughly 40 minutes before picking up my dogs, I got a phone call about my pet being in distress with no obvious external wounds. When I got there, I was able to identify an external puncture wound upon inspection, which required advanced wound care, and internal and external stitches. I understand pets get hurt, but the condition in which I found her was not an acute onset of symptoms. The wound was older and needed immediate medical attention. Additionally, Summit did not handle it well and denied any explanation as to why my pet was hurt. They acted cold and unapologetic. They offered no assistance and did not even call the check on her condition after visiting the emergency room. Due to their overall assessment and reaction to my pet being hurt, and the nature of the situation, I no longer trust any of my pets in their care and cannot continue to recommend them.

When leaving for the holidays, It is always a trick to make sure your pets are in good hands. You want your pets to feel and be safe, fed properly as well as get to run around. Summit Pet Resort does not just meet these expectations, but exceeds them in every way. Olivia and Jeffrey are exceptional people who I have complete faith in. Thank you both for taking care of Grit! I am so thankful to have a place for my pup that I can depend on when I am unable to be here!

Jeff and Olivia took in my high maintenance pup while I was visiting family over the holidays. These two took very good care of my dog! Thanks for keeping him healthy, safe, and entertained. I really appreciated their transparent approach to boarding while maintaining boundaries to help keep the dogs safe. They were very comfortable giving him his medication and made sure to include him on their regularly updated social media. There was a trail day before he could be boarded where Jeff and their head trainer Max answered any questions I had. Thanks again!

I have taken my dog other places and been totally happy, but I recently brought him to Summit Pet Resort and I love it! He cries the whole way there because he’s so excited, and sleeps the whole way home. I love that he has 2 acres to run around, and that they post lots of pictures of him throughout the day. They are so friendly and attentive. I have never felt more comfortable leaving my dog in someone else’s care!

We took our 5 month doodle in for her first grooming session with out much idea of what to ask for. We handed our pup off to Brittney and asked her to do whatever she thought would be best. She took great care of our dog and we are very happy with the results!

I have two 14 year old little tiny dogs and a 11 month lab, I have been going to Bark City since April of this year, my older dogs have never been boarded or to daycare and they can't wait to go! My lab comes home tired which makes for a great night for me after a long day of work. My dogs kiss them when we arrive proving they feel loved. I am blessed to have Bark City staff in my life. They are truly amazing and an extension of family to my fur babies.

Bark City always takes good care of our dogs. We have a Siberian Husky and a Lab mix who are always excited to go there. They come back pretty tired from all the activity but are always happy to come home. Trusting someone to care for our family pets is important and I wouldn't trust anyone else. Great organization I can't speak highly enough about.

I love taking my dog here she’s is given great care and always loves coming back. The staff does an excellent job at making sure the dogs have their wants and needs taken care of.

I originally took my puppy to Bark City daycare because he wasn’t able to be home alone all day while I was working. I planned to only do it for a few months, and then have him home during the day once he was a little older. After taking him twice a week for two months, I can’t imagine not bringing him. He slides on the floor every morning trying to run as fast as he can to the back. He loves it, and it tired when he gets home! Nothing but great things to say about Bark City, highly recommend!

Great place to fight workday boredom or to overnight when needing to be dog free. All the staff is very nice. My high energy dog loves this place.

Love, love, love Bark City. Have been taking our pups to them for years. Love the service that Bark City gives. The team is kind and friendly. Their registration system is easy. If you call or email, they are super responsive. Have tried other dog care facilities and Bark City is the best!

Love Bark City! They post daily pictures of the dogs in action, which is very heart warming when you’re away from your furry friend. Always professional staff and the facility clean. They even give your dog a bath if s/he has stayed there x days. They also test the dogs before they can play directly with the bigger group to make sure they are friendly.

Fantastic service provided for our newly adopted dog. We had never used a groomer or boarding service but we already know we won’t be going anywhere else. They were so nice and made us and our dog feel comfortable and happy. You could tell he felt much better afterward too!

We starting using Bark City back in March and we love it! The staff is always friendly and had our pups name memorized on his first day! They post Facebook photos of all of the dogs playing everyday which is awesome to see when I’m at work! I recommend this place, the staff is awesome, the facility is clean, and my dog is always literally running in the door with excitement.

I wanted to share our experience with CC and her doggie motel. Our 6 year old Golden Retriever has had fabulous in-their-home dog sitters any time we traveled in the past. We brought her with us to Big Sky for the summer, and had several planned trips. I researched boarding her in dog sitters' homes, and didn't find anyone that fit our needs. I was hesitant to board her at a facility, instead of a home. After reading about CC McNeil, her background and education emphasizing animal behavior, and passion for dogs, I contacted her about boarding our pup. Josie's first stay was three weeks! CC's communication is professional and courteous. I feel comfortable texting her asking about Josie, and she'll respond, often with a photo or video of Josie in action! The attached photo is of Josie after picking her up from that long stay. We feel fortunate to have found a reliable, well-run "home away from home" for our girl near Big Sky!

We had a family road trip planned from Washington State to Montana with a two day stay in Yellowstone. Unfortunately, we didn’t realize that Yellowstone was not very dog friendly until we were on the way. We frantically searched for dog boarding near the park and with some incredible stroke of luck found CC’s dog boarding. I was able to book our pup’s 2 night stay within hours. CC was very responsive and friendly. Our drop off/pick up times changed a bit due to traffic and travel times, but she was so flexible. We of course won’t be using this dog boarding regularly since we live in Washington, but for anyone looking for dog boarding in or near Bozeman, MT we would absolutely recommend CC!

I have had good experiences in the past, but my most recent experience was very negative, and I will not use this boarding place in the future. The owner's customer interactions were very poor and unmerited. She made me feel I had done something terribly wrong and I honestly try to never offend or hurt anyone. I just wanted to clarify, so I simply asked questions, and she was very offended. I've referred my friends to this business, and they've had similar poor experiences with the owner.

CC, the owner of Doggie Daycare & Motel, was a delight to work with! My dog was anxious about being in boarding for 10 days, but CC gave her lots of extra time and attention to make sure she was as comfortable and relaxed as possible. CC was a great communicator. She sent updates whenever I asked or if she needed something, but I still felt completely free to enjoy my vacation. Prices were excellent, and the 24/7 pick up/drop off is a fantastic feature. I highly recommend this place and will certainly use it again in the future!

We have been bringing our furbabies here for over 14 years. They are always loved and cared for just like they would be at home. We are very grateful for CC and her staff and highly recommend them.

CC was an absolute pleasure to deal with and was a huge help accommodating a very short notice request. She took great care of both dogs and allowed me to have a wonderful day skiing. Self check in and check out enable flexibility and I highly recommend this business for anyone in the Bozeman/Gallatin/Big Sky area! Your animals will be well taken care of

This place is the best! I boarded my cat for the first time at Doggie Daycare and was very impressed by the level of care, interaction, and attention each kitty gets. The facilities are clean, spacious, and lots of fun for kitties. When I went to pick my cat up, she even showed me her cat tree. :) My cat has very bad separation anxiety, so this was a really positive experience for us! Would highly recommend! The owner and her daughter are true animal lovers, great communication, and very caring. Also flexible with pick up/drop off times.

CC took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. She was very easy to communicate with and sent photos of all the fun the dogs were having. The facility is clean and calm. The check-in/out process is a breeze. We are so happy to have found a great place to take our girl to when we can’t be home with her.

CC is the bomb and I'd trust her with my fur babies any time! We had never boarded our kitten (or any animal) before and I couldn't be happier with our decision to go with CC! She took such great care of our girl and kept us updated frequently with pictures. The cat condos are spacious and very well maintained and I will 100% board here again.

We've been bringing our pug to Doggie Daycare & Motel during vacations for 3 years and are very pleased with their service. I love that you can tailor your animal's experience during their stay, and the drop off and pick-up are so quiet, calm, and easy. Our pug recognizes the motel as soon as we get there. She gets excited and a little nervous, but never cowers like she doesn't want to go. Different story when we visit the vet!!

Know Thy Dog has taken care of our dog since she was a little puppy, both for daycare and overnight boarding. The staff are exceptional and share mutual affection with our dog, who always loves to see them. The team is very detail-oriented and engaged with each dog, making sure each pup’s experience is best-suited to their temperment and play style. We give the very highest recommendation to Know Thy Dog!

Know Thy Dog is an amazingly well organized Day and Boarding Kennel. My dog Bell stayed for a week. They take special care with the time of play and rest, groups and their interactions. The dogs are Always supervised. The outside play area is immaculate and when it is to hot out side there are large clean air-conditioned indoor areas. When they see anything out of the normal about your pet, they will immediately notify you. No hiding anything. I am so happy to have found them, for my Peace of mind. Yes, I am a neurotic pet owner...With KTD I feel very, very comfortable. Best choice and an added bonus, reasonably priced.

We take our pets to KNOW THY DOG on a very regular basis. I can’t say enough great things about the company, the accommodations, the staff and how they take care of your pets like they’re their own. Great people with lots of love for your animals just like you have. Can’t say enough great things about them.

My border collie mix, Ellie, has benefited so much from Know Thy Dog! She has been training with Max since she was 3 months old, and has also gone to daycare and done the 5 day board and train program. After doing the 5 day board and train with them, she came home so confident, happy, and exhausted! Max is so great at helping you really understand your dogs behavior so that you can more efficiently correct problems. With his help, I feel like I can communicate with Ellie in a way that makes sense to her. I really appreciate that no one on staff ever pressures you into signing up for more training than you need, and encourage and enable you to continue working with your dog by yourself. I can't recommend them highly enough!

We lived in Bozeman from 2019-2022 and our dogs adored Know Thy Dog. They helped my lab mix Zoe get her energy out and were really responsible with the activity for my pomsky Pippin who has bad back legs. We rescued Pippin in Bozeman and they really helped him come out of his shell and become the loveable goofball he is today. I always felt comfortable leaving them there because I knew they were loved and happy. We miss Know Thy Dog immensely and can't recommend them enough! If I'm ever back in the area I would not hesitate to use their services again.

Thank you for a welcoming (for human and dog) and kind experience. I appreciate the professionalism and firm sweetness that you operate with; our young dog loves going to KTD day care :) !

Kelly and staff deserve more than 5 stars! Hank (and Brutus, his bf, bottom right) has been going there since he was a puppy and there is no place I would rather drop him off for daycare or for an overnight. Hank was a part of their overnight boarding "on leash training". It was suggested by Kelly as he was going to be there for a week anyways and it was the best decision I've ever made for him... Thanks Max! HIGHLY recommended!

We boarded my dog ( for the first time ever ) here over the weekend while we were getting married. They were responsive and communicated with us and helped alleviate our anxieties of leaving him. I got a message on my wedding day congratulating us on our day and a photo of him in a little tuxedo tie. The personal touches and care for my dog was incredible and I cannot recommend this place enough. And it was extremely affordable. We are so grateful for Know Thy Dog and how much easier it made our weekend. Thank you!!

While visiting from out of state our dog stayed there over night on the 4th of july, they were very excited to have her and she seemed to have a good time. Love that they post pictures and videos of the dogs having fun. We will definatley take our dog there again when we go back to Montana.

If I could, I would post a video of my dog Harper's tail wagging at full speed when she realizes she's being dropped off for daycare at Know Thy Dog, because that says it all. The staff members are so kind and clearly genuinely care about each pup that is in their care. Clean facilities and clear communication. Highly recommend!

I had to board my dog for the weekend and was told about this place from a friend. Fast response time and very friendly service. I will definitely be using her again.

Very knowledgeable and caring for the dogs! She is amazing defiantly recommend.

Top Dog is the most amazing daycare. Our sweet, high-energy, BIG Berner has been going to daycare here since he was 3 months old. Everyone treats him so amazingly. He often goes for the day to play and comes home exhausted. When we travel, this is the only place we trust him to go. I know he will play, be loved, and treated with extremely well. He also gets his baths here, and he always looks like a BIG Fluff when he comes out, smelling like lavender. I trust and love this place so much. All of the people who work here are genuinely kind, loving, and really good people.

Amazing staff! Ben and the rest of the staff made sure my dog felt welcome right away. Felt very spacious and there were plenty of fun activities for the dogs to do! My pup was tired and happy after a fulfilling day, can’t recommend them enough!

We recently boarded our dogs here for the first time, and it was a very smooth experience. The dogs seemed well taken care of. Typically, they don't eat much when boarded, but this time they came home having finished all their food, which was a positive sign. It seems they must have felt comfortable at Top Dog. We encountered a situation where we couldn't return in time to pick them up before closing. I called, and extending their stay for an additional night wasn't a problem. The upfront pricing, which is also listed on their website, offers a level of transparency that isn't always found elsewhere. I would recommend Top Dog to anyone seeking a safe place for their dogs.

My dog loves it here!! The staff is incredibly caring and attentive to my pup. The facilities are clean, and the play areas are so spacious. My dog is always happy and tired from a day of play at Top Dog! I highly recommend their services for anyone looking for a trustworthy and enjoyable place for their dogs!!

Our pups had a blast at Top Dog! The staff were super friendly and the property was perfect! We love Too Dog!

We absolutely love Top Dog and my dog is always excited to go to daycare. We have boarded him several times and I have felt very comfortable leaving my pup there. The staff are very kind and caring and the facility is top notch! Baxter knows his daycare days and gets so excited to play with his friends. Bring your dog here and they will have so much fun like Baxter does!!

Ben and all the staff are wonderful. When I tell Howard he is going to daycare he gets super excited. They have been so flexible with us in taking care of Howard on short notice the last couple of years, due to family loss/illness & I couldn't be more grateful for the kindness they have shown us!

We brought our little guy here for a play day and he had the best time and came home exhausted! The staff was wonderful!

My husky loves daycare at TopDog more than anything. His favorite days are those spent playing with his friends, and I feel comfort knowing he is being cared for and kept safe. The staff are dedicated to making everyone happy and truly love all the dogs!

My dog Bella has been going to Top Dog for 3.5 years. I’ve never had any complaints. They have always taken care of her and she’s always tired when I pick her up. The staff there is always friendly and easy to talk to if I have questions. They are amazing!

Really great customer service. We were traveling through and they were able to watch our dog last minute so we could go to the museum with our son. Plus they have some great treats there! Will definitely be going back the next time we're in Bozeman.

Boarding is reasonably priced with lots of extras you can add! We are from out of town and wanted to do more activities without having to manage our dog too. He really enjoyed his stay and the staff are super kind and accommodating. They even managed to fit in a nail trim! Thanks for taking great care of Mr. Moose!

On Memorial Day, my family and I needed to leave town on extremely short notice due to a family medical emergency. Our regular kennel was booked, but through a connection with our nurse at the hospital, we were able to get our dog into Montana Murray Kennels within the hour. They were so extremely accommodating during a very stressful time. I couldn't believe how helpful the entire team was from the moment we dropped our dog off, their flexibility with our uncertain plans (our dog ended up staying 3+ weeks), and the clear love and care they showed our dog. The icing on the cake - when we were finally able to return home and pick up our dog, the owner gave us a totally unexpected (but very much appreciated) discount on our stay. I can't say enough good things about our experience with Montana Murray Kennels. Thank you so much!! The Paulson Family (and Cleo!).

Ron is absolutely incredible. My German Shepherd was attacked a few years ago and was terrified of other dogs. I brought him to Ron and after training and within a few pack walks kaiser was feeling confident and calm around other dogs. He has also helped me with my puppy Major. I trust Ron with my dogs over anyone else. I’ll never have anyone else train my dogs. Thanks Montana Murray kennels for helping me with my pups!

Ron knows dogs and his expertise has shown us how to have happy obedient dogs. Ron gave us the tools and explained exactly how to work the dogs so they understand who's boss. Thanks to you Ron, we now have happy family pups.

Montana Murray kennels helped turn our COVID puppy from a timid, scared boy to a great obedient dog with confidence. They have been great for boarding both our dogs.

This is the place to go for any dog training, especially behavior issues. Ron taught me how to properly handle my dog. Before working with Ron, I didn’t feel comfortable letting my dog interact with other dogs. But now we are able to go out to public places and trails. I now have the confidence and skills to properly handle my dog, and my dog trusts and responds to me. I tried other trainers before Montana Murray Kennels, but this was the only one that could help me. 100% recommend.

We love Ron and our dog community at Murray Kennels. We have taken two dogs here for training and they have been a wonderful help. Additionally, they offer weekly tuneups for a mere $5.

Fun people, good training and safety for all. Pack walks are held 4 days a week, with whoever wants to show up. Could be anything from 10 to 50 dogs. Wonderful way to socialize your dog. You will need to talk to Ron Murray because he needs to judge whether your dog is ready for an intermediate or needs a beginner's type of training.

I realize so many have had terrific experiences with MT Murray Kennels and their training style, but multiple good experiences cannot negate one or some very real and negative experiences. I and my golden retriever puppy are one of those experiences. I tried to work through my concerns with the owner who ultimately only bullied me and would not hear my genuine concerns. I asked for a refund due to these concerns and would not be heard. I no longer hope for financial recompensation, but want to warn other dog owners like me of the potential hazards associated with registering and paying for obedience training with this organization. My first class involved pressure to succumb to the use of a prong collar on my 4 month old golden retriever puppy. Because of this, he had his first experience with pain and trust issues then with me ultimately. Additionally, we were in a large class of at least 12 dogs with at least half of them being of an adult age and highly reactive in nature. When I phoned the owner to discuss my concerns, I was encouraged to come back and trust the process. I initially felt respected during this conversation and decided to try another class. When I returned the following week, within 10 minutes of the class starting, a puppy and its owner arrived late and walked into the room when one of the adult reactive dogs decided to bite and injure the puppy. The puppy howled terribly for an extended period of time and the bite was severe enough to draw blood. It was at this point that I walked out of the class. When I spoke with the owner the next day about this incident and the fact that I did not feel that my puppy was in a safe environment, he would not listen. He relied heavily on his reputation and all of the good success stories he has had before this incident, leaving no room for discussion about what was in my puppy or my best interest. His approach was that he knew it all and that I was the problem. I don’t deny that many dog owners are pleased with MT Murray Kennels. What I do object to is that this organization and its owner believe in a one size fits all approach to dog training and a past reputation to address its present issues. My best hope in writing this review is to encourage dog owners to be free thinkers and to advocate for your puppies and dogs. Don’t let anyone tell you that they know what is best for your dog. Listen to your gut and use common sense! I wish I had done so from the get go!
