Boarding FAQ's

How far from the ski resorts in Lutsen are you?

Rocky Knoll is about a 40 minute drive from the ski resorts in Lutsen.

Do you book quickly?

Yes, especially in the summer, on weekends, and around holidays. Please reserve your spot several weeks if not months before your trip.

Do you require a deposit?

Your credit card number is required to hold your reservation. No deposit necessary.

What vaccines are required?

I require distemper, rabies, and bordetella. They must also be current on both flea and tick medication. Veterinarian-approved vaccination records must be provided before dropoff. It is required that the vaccines be administered at least 48 hours before boarding. 

Do you administer medications?

Yes! I can administer all forms of medications except needle injections. If the medication needs to be administered directly into the mouth, a $2.50 fee applies per administration.

Does the kennel have AC/heat?

Yes! The kennel building is equipped with both.

My dog loves playing with other dogs. Do you have group playtime with other boarders?

Due to the abundance of tourism clients, Rocky Knoll is very cautious about having dogs play with the other dogs that are staying in the kennel. For this reason, playgroups are not guaranteed during your dog's stay. 

Do you accept breeds such as pit bulls?

Due to the safety of my family, I currently do not accept pit bulls, pit bull mixes, or other violent dog breeds. I hold the right to deny service for any dog and/or dog breed.

Can I visit the kennel before boarding?

I highly recommend a visit before boarding. Please schedule your visit beforehand, as tours will not be given on the spur of the moment.

Do you offer doggy daycare?

Yes. Rocky Knoll offers full daycare. Drop-off is during the morning hours, and pickup is during the evening.
