Dakota Bed & Biscuit

Dakota Bed & Biscuit is a home-based kennel offering dog boarding in Epping, North Dakota, plus daycare, cat boarding, and training. Stays are booked online, and the property at 5065 121st Road Northwest includes a large deck and a fenced yard. Dogs are matched to a setup that fits their temperament instead of a single one-size format.

Boarding styles

The in-home option is cage-free and keeps dogs in the family's living space with access to the deck and yard. Stay-and-play boarding pairs kennel housing with multiple outdoor play sessions each day in the dog yard. Standard kennels are heated and air conditioned, each with a raised pet bed, fresh water around the clock, and a private doggie door leading to an outdoor run. Cats board separately, in an area kept dog-free.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding, doggie daycare, and cage-free in-home stays
• Training with a Certified Professional Trainer, including free evaluations
• Grooming and medication administration
• Nightly Kong treats and a monthly toy rotation
• Separate cat boarding away from the dogs

Trying it out first

A free trial day is available ahead of a longer stay. That gives a nervous dog a low-stakes introduction, and it helps sort out which boarding style actually suits them. Paired with the free training evaluation, an owner can get a read on the place before committing to a week away.

Practical details

Rates run from $30 to $46 per day according to the kennel's own site, varying by boarding style. Vaccinations are required. Reservations go through the online booking system, and the kennel can be reached at 701-651-5188 or info@dakotabedandbiscuit.com. Dakota Bed & Biscuit also keeps active Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok accounts for owners who want to see the day-to-day.
