Dakotah's Doggy Daycare Hotel & Salon

Dakotah's is your dog's home away from home for doggy daycare, overnight boarding, grooming and dog training. We treat your dog like a member of your family — because they are!

There are a number of dog boarding kennels and local dog boarding options in the Elk River area, but our dog boarding facility is truly a “dog hotel” for overnight dog care.

Your dog enjoys group play in our indoor and outdoor play areas during the day, and is only in their private kennel at night. Most facilities lock your dog in a kennel during the day, with only short times outside the kennel for breaks, play, or walks. You can even watch your dog play on our live video PlayCams!

We pamper our overnight dog boarding guests with DogTV playing on large flat-screens in our kennel areas. Your pampered pooch stays in their own private kennel, and receives maid service each morning. Our staff thoroughly cleans their kennel and provides fresh bedding and clean water bowls. Your dog even gets a bedtime treat!

Our overnight caretaker stays in the kennel area overnight, to see to your dog's care and comfort. Other facilities lock up their building and go home, leaving your dogs unattended at night.

Book Overnight Boarding

We also offer doggy daycare which provide opportunities for your dog to socialize with other dogs while you are running errands or visiting friends or relatives for a day. We provide special care for senior dogs and puppies, so they can enjoy group play in a safe, supervised environment.

We have a process we go through with new visitors in order to socialize them with other dogs and teach them to be good group players. We spend the time it takes to help your dog become comfortable in the group setting. Some dogs take a few minutes, others take several hours, and a few might need several days. Our goal isn't to get them into the group quickly. Our goal is to help them become comfortable so that they want to enter the group.

We pride ourselves on being the best dog kennel in the area; we get to know our dog guests like a pet sitter would.

Finally, we also offer additional opportunities for you to pamper your favorite pet with our dog grooming services. From baths, a brush out, de-shed, and a salon groom, to nail and ear cleaning, we provide affordable grooming services that can be scheduled during your dog's overnight stay.
