Howl-a-Day Inn

Howl-a-Day Inn is a family-run dog boarding facility located in Wasilla, Alaska, offering a warm, home-away-from-home experience for dogs across the Mat-Su Valley. Owned by Kristina Reed, a dog lover with over a decade of hands-on animal care experience, the facility focuses on safety, comfort, and clear communication with every pet parent.

Each boarding stay includes daily personalized report cards, daily turnout in private secure outdoor play yards, and access to a heated indoor play yard for exercise regardless of Alaska's weather.
