Garden City Pets

Garden City Pets is a boutique pet hotel at 17455 US-93 N in Missoula, MT, offering dog boarding, dog daycare, and cat and exotic pet care. The owner is on site, and certified pet care staff handle the day-to-day work.

What they offer

Dogs stay in private, climate-controlled suites. There is an indoor play area for rough-weather days and a fenced outdoor yard with pools and water sprinklers for warm ones. Cats board in separate multi-level condos with window views and cat towers. Exotic and pocket pets, including rabbits, ferrets, birds, and reptiles, are boarded as well.

• Private, climate-controlled dog suites
• Supervised daycare with indoor play space
• Fenced outdoor play yard with pools and water sprinklers
• 12 acres of hiking and walking trails
• Separate cat condos and exotic pet boarding

What stands out

The 12 acres of trails give boarding dogs somewhere to walk beyond a play yard, which not every kennel can offer. Staff hold certifications in canine and feline CPR and first aid. The business is insured and bonded by KennelPro and is a member of the International Boarding & Pet Services Association. Suites are cleaned daily with hospital-grade disinfectants. Meals can be served from Hill's Science Diet for pets that eat it.

Practical details

Garden City Pets is open 7:00 AM to 6:30 PM seven days a week. Rates published on the kennel's site range from $35 to $126 per night. Reservations are made online, and the office can be reached at 406-239-7877 or hello@gardencitypets.com.
