The Modern K9

The Modern K9 offers dog boarding, daycare, training, and grooming in Rochester, MN, out of a facility at 275 37th Street Northeast. Dogs stay overnight in the building and are checked on through motion- and sound-detected cameras. The kennel takes a small number of dogs each day, which keeps supervision close.

Services and amenities

The Modern K9 covers most of what a Rochester dog owner needs in one place:

• Overnight boarding with motion and sound camera monitoring
• Dog daycare with indoor play space and an outdoor area
• Training, including board-and-train stays
• Grooming
• Webcam access and daily photo and video updates on Facebook and Instagram

What sets it apart

The small daily dog count is the practical difference. Fewer dogs in the building means staff can watch the group closely and step in early. Owners also get a steady stream of updates: photos and video posted to Facebook and Instagram, plus webcam access for a look in between. Training happens under the same roof as boarding and daycare, so overnight and daycare dogs are around staff who also handle training. Boarding a second dog in the facility comes with a discount.

Practical details

Hours run 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, and the facility is closed Saturday and Sunday. Since the posted hours cover weekdays only, drop-off and pickup need to happen Monday through Friday. Booking is by phone at (507) 577-1929. Published rates for overnight stays range from $50 to $100 per night, depending on the package. Current vaccinations are required before a stay.
