Dog Sitters in Hamilton, MT

Big Corral Kennel did an excellent job caring for my cat for 20 days. The kennels were very cleaned & neat. My cat was happy & well feed. I recommend them for both cat & dog care. The employees are kind & friend.

Big Corral takes excellent care of my boy. He is happy, healthy, and loved. They always are so helpful when I need to find someone to take care of him.

Absolutely would recommend this company. On extremely short notice they were very accommodating, yet being sure to check all the boxes for a safe stay! Our pup came back happy and well tended too! Thank you so much ♥️🐾! …

Rhonda and Howard took great care of our two big, enthusiastic pitbull mixes. Our dogs were there for a week and came home healthy and happy. Would recommend their services and we will be back!

Wonderful, clean kennels for our dog, Harley. Loved the owner and we were super happy with their work. Traveling from Oregon, Arizona, Idaho to Montana these folks made Harley's stay pretty good. She was able to be around other dogs! We will be back!! Thank you so much

Had a good experience. Pups were safe and happy and well cared for. Kennel is very clean and nice and is run by nice folks.

I have 7 huge mastiff dogs and had to go on vacation for 10 days and Howard there at big corrals kennels kept my babies safe and happy thanks Howard

Very friendly and knowledgeable service. New owners. Will definitely use again.

Great service, great people.

Daly Dog Care is quite simply the best care available. Our beloved pup-pup became ill while there, and the care and effort that they demonstrated was above and beyond reasonable expectations. They truly love 💕 the creatures in their care as much as their owners. Love all around! …

We are so grateful for Daly Dog Care! Melissa and her team are so positive and kind. Our dog a Willow has stayed at Daly Dog Care several times and our other dog, Sunny, stayed there recently for the first time. The individual attention and understanding they have for each animal is so comforting. We appreciate all of you so much!

Daly Dog Care is a 5 star accommodation my dog loves to play in and stay in! The owners are devoted dog lovers who treat your pet as if it were their own. My puppy cannot wait to jump out of the car to join her pals and see Melissa and Delilah .

5 STARS ACROSS THE BOARD!!! I wouldn't take my dog anywhere else! My pup screams with excitement as we pull into the parking lot of doggy day care because he knows he's in for a great day of fun and play. He comes home happy and exhausted. The staff here is incredible. They are attentive, and accomadating, and truly care for all the animals lucky enough to be a part of this awesome place. Whether it's for a day of play, or boarding for an extended period of time, I know and trust Daly Dog Care to watch after my pup. And having that peace of mind is priceless. Simply the best!

Daly Dog Care is the BEST! Melissa, Edward, Delilah, and crew are so wonderful. They took the absolute best care of our senior dog, Jessie; and I always felt so comfortable leaving her in their care. They always went above and beyond, especially with the extra care required of a senior pup, and Jessie always came home happy and content with a belly full of treats :) I always loved getting to pick her up and hearing all the stories of doggie shenanigans from her day. I can't recommend them enough!

We have been taking our dog to daycare for about a year now. With new owners we were initially hesitant as we have had a great experience... but I must say they are awesome! They have made the transition very easy for us humans and our four legged child. They have plans to improve the facility and to make picking up and dropping off easier. The place is clean. They are attentive to each dogs needs and we know our dog is safe and has fun while we’re at work. We love Daly Dog Daycare!

I've only taken my dog here a couple of times, both were to kennel him, and they have been absolutely fantastic to deal with. Most importantly my dog seems okay with the idea of being left here and hasn't shown any inhibitions to give concern.

My dog had really knotted up hair and Daly Dog care, took wonderful care of my baby and she came out looking like a brand new dog! So happy to have a business like this here in the Bitterroot. 5 STARS!

Melissa and Edward are the best! When I drop my dogs off there I feel like I’m just dropping them off to stay with friends. They are very thorough in their care and go out of their way to give each dog individual attention. Other doggy daycare providers charge extra $$ for things like playing fetch with your dog one on one 😳. You won’t have to worry about that here! The last time I picked up one of my dogs from an overnight stay Edward had already washed and dried his bedding! That’s the kind of service that keeps us coming back every week. The new owners that took over last year, (Josh and Daniel & their family) have made a lot of small changes that add up and make a big difference in the overall experience, one of those being something as small as providing toys for the dogs to play with and providing them with a kiddie pool to play in the water on hot days, which my big doggo LOVES! He comes home and sleeps for two days after each visit from all the playing he gets to do 😂. It’s more of a puppy playground now and less like just a concrete kennel. We can’t wait to see what else they do next with it. Keep up the awesome work!

Great staff that truly cares about the well being of your dogs. They have a great online presence with both their website and social media! The place is kept very clean and they have tons of toys and treats for the dogs! Great place to have your dog get used to other dogs and gives you some time to relax or get things done at home! Would highly recommend for anyone needing daycare or boarding services!

Darlene breeds cockers for show competition and for personal pets. My 4 years old black cocker is wonderful.

Unleashed is the BEST! My boy LOVES their daycare; he recognizes the parking lot and starts doing full-body wiggles with excitement, and he tries to dig under the door to get inside to see his doggy and human friends. When I pick him up, he is always tired and happy (and doesn't always want to leave!). The staff is incredibly helpful and cares so much about the dogs. I love when I see photos of my dog at daycare! Their boarding is fantastic, too, and they are the only place I trust to board my dog overnight. All in all, I HIGHLY recommend Unleashed! He sleeps like crazy when he comes home.

A great place for daycare and boarding! Their top priority is the health and well-being of your dog, and they’re great at communicating that. I appreciate their kindness and business so much and can confidently leave my dog at their facility. Also I love the daycare report cards, photos and being able to watch my pup on camera. My pup comes home and sleeps right away and it’s nice knowing he had playtime and a lot of enrichment.

I just recently started taking my eight month old puppy, Gracie, here for some daycare and if I could give them over five stars I definitely would! Jen is so incredibly kind and you can tell she loves her job and that all the pups adore it there. I love checking in on Gracie with their camera feed! We highly highly HIGHLY recommend Unleashed! :)

Unleashed is by far the best kennel and doggy daycare we have ever sent our dog to! We are very picky about who we send our dog to and this is the first place we have actually felt comfortable leaving her at! The staff is incredible and they go above and beyond for anything your pet may need both in and out of their facility. Sending your dog here is like sending it to a family member to be spoiled and loved on! They really do love the dogs in their care like their own. If you want the best for your dog, look no further!

Our dog LOVES to go play with all the dogs at Unleashed! Jen, Rachel, Miss Peggy and all the staff have been wonderful and we will follow them wherever they go! We know our dog is being taken care of and couldn't ask for better ❤️

Jen is so caring and treats my dog like he’s her very own. He always has fun and loves the staff. They do fun little crafts and I always get a tired, happy dog back. I also appreciate their transparency which is hard to find in a doggy daycare. They have live webcams so I can see my baby having fun whenever I want! I would recommend to anyone!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE. They are so accommodating with our schedules and our pup loves the staff. We take him on a regular basis to get him some exercise, socialization and because he has separation anxiety. He gets so excited when he sees us pull in. We have tried a couple other daycares in town and they didn’t meet our expectations until now.

We call it “doggy camp” at our house. I called the first time and instantly knew that these were dog people. Exactly doing what they were called to do . We love our dog and they do too. That sure feels good when you know he is getting love and care. We pull in the parking lot and he stands up and wags his whole body. I open the door and he goes and waits to be let in. Best. Feeling. Ever. Send your dog and know they’re loved ! 5 stars from us!!!

As a crazy dog mom, there are few places/people I trust my dog with. Unleashed has been amazing and my dog is very excited to go every time. The staff was quick to remember myself and my dog, they keep my updated throughout the day about how my love is doing. I will continue to go here and recommend unleashed. Edit 10/09/23: Sadly Unleashed no longer offers boarding and their prices have increased. Still an amazing company and people, but no longer fits my needs. I now go to Alpine Canine, and they’ve been great too.

Our dog, Orie, absolutely loves Unleashed! Every time I bring her, she gets so excited and she loves the staff and gets along with all the dogs! The staff is so caring and so friendly and love seeing our dog every time! Best Dog Day Care in Missoula!

The groomers are so wonderful! My sweet dog has severe anxiety and the first time there she destroyed a drying kennel and tried to tear the tub from the wall. I felt so bad but those ladies were so kind about it. We paid for the damage of course and I was so surprised that they had no hesitation having her back. They accommodate her personality and she still goes every 10 weeks with no further issues. They are so friendly there and I understand why they are always so busy, definitely the best groomers I've met.

I was nervous to board my German Shepherd while I went on vacation because I was afraid his separation anxiety would flare up again. He seemed very content and well taken care of when I picked him up. The Pet Palace also accommodated my GSD with moving him to a indoor/outdoor run as soon as one became available. I was pleased with the service and care, as well as the price. Will definitely be returning in the future.

My husband and I brought our dogs here to be boarded while we lived in the area and it has been by far the best dog boarding experience we’ve had. We had a bad experience with a previous boarder and the staff at Bitterroot Pet Palace did everything they could to ease our worries. They took incredible care of our babies and one of the staff even sent me near daily picture updates of them while there. If we still lived in the area, this would be the only boarder we’d use! Highly highly recommend!

I have only utilized the dog grooming services and the groomers here rock! They take such good care of my reluctant dog. Their facility is clean. And their prices are reasonable. They are so friendly and truly love the animals. Must book far, far in advance because they are always full!

I dropped my 2 dogs off and they've never been boarded before. It broke my heart off to leave them for the weekend but as soon as I saw the personalized service I was instantly relieved. Niki was there to greet us and then I was shown where they would be. When I arrived to pick them up they were in great shape. All in all it was great for them and me to get away for awhile. I will use them again and I recommend them highly. One thing I noticed is that it doesn't smell like a kennel. It was super clean and highly Pythagoras. A+

It's always hard to leave your pets, but I never feel anxious when I drop them off at Bitterroot Pet Palace! The owners are amazing and the employees are simply just delightful people. They always remember my pups and go out of their way to make sure I'm feeling good about their visit. So glad to have found them!!

Our dogs all love the groomers here, and they do fantastic work. A year ago, our dogs caught the business end of a skunk and needed a major bath. They got me in that same morning and did a great job getting rid of the skunk odor. We rescued a dog from a neglectful home and he came to us covered in mats and in desperate need of a haircut and bath. Even though they were booked up, they made an exception worked him into their schedule because of his situation. They truly care about the animals that come to them, and they take excellent care of them. We've boarded our dogs here, and with our past experiences with the people at the Pet Palace, we knew our dogs were in good hands.

We love these folks. And our 2 big (78 and 65 pounds) puppies (8 months), love this place. Always excited when they arrive. And a great value for the price. And the ladies who run the place are great. Friendly, professional, sweet and obviously love animals. Our new favorite "dog hotel" when needed.

Our dogs, Cassie and Lily, stayed here for the first time for about 9 days last month and we’re very happy about how things went. Sarah called us several days in to let us know she had a coughing dog in the kennel and she was working with the owners to remove it in the event the dog was contagious (kennel cough or another virus). She let us know our dogs were doing fine but she would get in touch if anything changed, and she provided a brief update on our dogs. She could have simply flown under the radar on this and called us only if our dogs had symptoms, but she did the best/right thing and gave us a heads up. She nailed it. Sarah and another staff member made a point to tell us how sweet and polite our dogs were. I thought maybe they had our dogs confused with someone else’s. It’s always great to get compliments on your kids’ behavior from strangers. What a relief to know they are only Little Monsters at home. 😆

I was a customer of Bitterroot pet palace when the old owner owned the company. My experience with him was NOT great. Each time we'd pick out dogs up, they smelled like urine. My dogs also contracted kennel cough while he owned the facility, and were treated without our knowledge with an over the counter cough suppressant. He also often would tell us that our dogs didn't get to access the large yard because they wouldn't listen to him when he wanted to come inside, and that was THEIR problem, not his. He "doesn't play that game". When we found out the Pet Palace sold, we were VERY excited, and thrilled to meet the new owner. Right away, Sarah was AMAZING. We often traveled on the weekends, returning on Sundays. If we were every running a couple minutes behind, or cutting it close to closing time, Sarah ALWAYS offered to stay so we could still pick our dogs up. They no longer smell like urine when we pick them up after being boarded, nor have they had another issue with Kennel Cough. Furthermore, one of our dogs was recently diagnosed with epilepsy. Sarah and her ENTIRE team has been AMAZING at going above and beyond for us. She accommodates our schedule, when she doesn't have to, AT ALL, which is a HUGE help. We have been dropping our dog off with her at day care for the team, while he gets used to his seizure meds, which can take a little while. Whenever I call, whoever answers give me updates, and makes sure they answers all of my questions regarding his status. Tracy, Sarah, Julie, they're all AMAZING, and do a WONDERFUL job at monitoring our dog giving me updates regarding his status. They also let both of our dogs out into the big yard, so they can run off some of their energy and have said they don't have any issues, that dogs will be dogs and it's OK. I seriously cannot say enough how happy we are with her being the new owner, and we will continue to take our dogs to her for any needs that we have. From daycare, to boarding, I trust them ALL with our dogs, no matter what.

My dog loves going there. She howls with delight and gets to play with other dogs. The owners are fantastic with the care they give the dogs and make sure that they don't allow contact with other dogs that don't seem to get along with each other. I can't say enough good things about this place. I highly recommend it.

We have been boarding our dog at Big Sky Dog Ranch for six years, since he was a puppy. My wife and I can't say enough good things about their facility. We always know that our dog will be very well cared for. The very first time we boarded our dog there he was a tiny 6 month old puppy . My wife was concerned that he might not eat. We conveyed this to Dorothy, one of the owners, and she reassured us that if our tiny puppy didn't eat, she would cook some chicken and hand feed it to him. In addition, she encouraged us to call to check on him anytime. So now, 6 years later, our dog enjoys his stays at the Big Sky Dog Ranch. It is his home away from home.

Simply the best boarding kennel we've ever used! Our dogs get so excited to go there-jumping at the front door to get in. Dorothy and Robert are the nicest people and their business is so clean and spacious. I highly recommend!

We have brought our Bernese Mountain Dog here on overnights and for day care and it’s always a wonderful experience! Highly recommend.

Big Sky Dog Ranch is a fantastic place to board your dog in the Bitterroot Valley. Robert is great with our dog Gracie and she enjoys staying there. With other places we have tried she has been stressed and come home with hot spots but she seems perfectly content and very well taken care of at Big Sky Dog Ranch and that all you can ask for. I would highly recommend this boarding facility. Katie Gerhard

Could not ask for a better boarding kennel. By far the best boarding facility around. Very clean and well kept. The dogs have large spacious indoor outdoor runs and also have huge yards to play in. The owners are wonderful caring people and I don't worry about my dogs when they stay here.

My dog loves this place and I love knowing he is happy and cared for when he can't be with me. He is always excited to go, and always happy when we pick him up. The owners go the extra mile and send me pictures when I'm away :)

Dorothy and Robert are both amazing people. They care for our fur babies like they are their own. Our “kids” love going to play with all the other doggies!

No words can describe how wonderful this place is. They are absolutely amazing and take wonderful car of all their guests. Our dog can not wait to get out of the car and go play with her friends.

My two dogs had the an amazing time! They were welcomed with such caring and love, they immediately felt comfortable meeting new "friends"....which was new for them. What a great experience!

Jane is the best and sweetest lady I know in Darby she just loves my German shepherd Gunnar to death there is none better than her

I was reluctant to leave my 7 month old GSD at a kennel for the weekend. But it was a positive experience for him and me. Our pup was well taken care of and the grooming services were outstanding! I will use North Star Kennel any time we leave town. Affordable and quality A+

My corgis love Jane. I will not take them anywhere else.

I trust Jane completely with my babies. She has a key to my house in the event of an emergency.

Fantastic place. Took my doggo there for a groom and he looks so spiffy! She did a wonderful job and for an extremely fair price as well. Very sweet and kind. I will most definitely be going back to her again :)

Jayne treats every dog like it is her own. I boarded my 4 dogs there for 3 plus years when I worked out of town. My dogs would beat me into the kennel when I dropped them off. I still leave my dogs there now that I am home permanently when I have things to do.

Nice, convenient to Darby (and Lost Trail Pass). Reasonably priced and clean. The owner sincerely cares about what she is doing. A great option for a visit to the area.

Our dog feels right at home here. We never worry about him when we are away. As we know that he is very in good hands.

Best animal care in the valley

Jane is the best

Meghan and her husband were incredible when I was on my vacation to Montana when I needed care for my pooch Ollie to attend an unexpected funeral. They took Ollie almost instantly gave him the true love I give him. The facility is extremely spacious with tons of running room with her home adjacent to the facility. It's outside of Missoula in Lolo so its pretty quiet but easy to find from the highway. The rates were extremely reasonable and I never had one worry my pup was in great hands. Ollie gives it 4 big paws 🐾 and one short tail up (River Pic was a happy Ollie after his stay)

Furever friends is incredible! Not only are they so accommodating but have the cleanest facilities and beautiful play space for the pups. They take into consideration each dogs social needs and communicate wonderfully. So professional. It wasn’t until we tried another Missoula daycare when furever friends was fully booked that I realized What I was taking for granted. We will never return to the other place we tried and will be forever friends of Furever friends :) Thanks for being incredible!!!

Tabatha & Matt are the best. I have been taking my husky there for a few years. He is well cared for with plenty of playtime and interaction

Love this place! Smaller dog/handler ratios than most places means your dog is keenly watched and has a more enjoyable, less stressful day. The staff and owners are awesome and really care about the dogs. On those dangerously hot days, everyone comes inside to cool off and play in the a/c. My dog, Finley, really enjoys his play time at Furever friends!

Our small-to-mid-sized dog enjoys his stays. Spends the days playing with the other dogs and comes home exhausted. He never minds going back.

I just picked up my dog from a 3 day stay. Let me tell you about frank. He’s a high energy insane dog. Won’t stop. Ever. He yells in the car 100% of the time and runs around when he’s not buckled in. Today when I picked him up he got into the back of the car and layed down then proceeded to snore the loudest snore I’ve ever heard. I’ve never seen him so exhausted and I’m so happy he played his little heart out. Worth every single penny. Frank will be back!

A great place for dogs, they are always welcoming and sweet to our boys. We have one timid guy and he does well. They are comfortably taken care of for our long weekends away. Thank you Matt and Tab!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this business and the owner. The place is spotless with excellent indoor and outdoor play areas and always has a good mix of friendly pups for my big ole boy to play with. Prices are great! Hours are great! Location is great! I know my dog is really well cared for and safe with them.

My little PomChi wakes me up each morning waiting to go to Forever Friends Doggy Daycare. I Live up the street from them, that said, yesterday (Sunday) my little guy snuck out the front door. Typically opening the car door makes him run right back. NOT this time, instead he ran up the road to the daycare. NOW if that doesn't tell people that they are an amazing dog loving environment, then I don't know what will. They are clean, happy, fun and always with the animals. Thank you for the wonderful care you give my little guy.. Not to mention he is EXHAUSTED at the end of the day from playing. :)

We absolutely love this doggy daycare. My boy, Spike, is always excited to go and see his friends! 100% recommend!!
