Brickyard Boarding Kennel

Brickyard Boarding Kennel is a family-run kennel at 105 Brickyard Lane in Billings, Montana, offering dog boarding and cat boarding by appointment only. The family has run it since 1995. Owners call first, agree on a drop-off time, and book the stay over the phone.

What the kennel offers

This is traditional overnight boarding rather than an all-day play program. Dogs and cats both stay here. Meals can be provided on request, or owners can pack their dog's usual food so mealtimes stay consistent with home.

• Overnight boarding for dogs and cats
• $12 per night
• Meals provided on request, or bring your own food
• A scent article, toys, chews, and treats from home are welcome
• Grooming listed among the kennel's services

What sets it apart

Longevity is the plain argument. The same family has run the place since 1995 and has looked after many different breeds over those years. The appointment-only setup means arrivals are scheduled one at a time instead of walked in, which suits owners who would rather hand their dog over without a crowd.

The kennel also encourages owners to send along a scent article, a shirt or blanket that smells like home. That small detail says something about how the people here think about settling a dog into an unfamiliar room.
