The employees are so kind. Not sure if Remington is happy to come home or sad to leave, haha. A lot of people trust their dogs to this kennel. Rates are reasonable. Thank you for taking good care of my dog.

First time for my nervous pups being boarded, but they did great & were well taken care of. We will use Raccoon River Kennel again if needed!

On 8/17/2025 Edita Omic-VanPelt had this to say:
The staff is super friendly, and they care that my dog Storm has the best experience. First time doing boarding and daycare services here. The place is super clean and everyone who works there is always friendly and professional. Communication was great and promptly answered and that means everything to me. Can’t thank Raccoon River Kennels enough for taking care of our sweet girl Storm! ❤️ Raccoon River Kennels is the best!

Staff is always so friendly and welcoming. Our dog can be a handful around other dogs and it doesn’t phase them in the least.
