Creating Safety & Consistency every stay

THE EXPERIENCE

A day in the life

We start and end each day with group play. Dogs enjoy four 1.5 hour play sessions throughout the day, with rest time in between.

Our routine stays consistent so your dog knows what to expect. Play time, meals, medications, and rest all follow the same daily rhythm creating a safe and predicatable environment for them.

When the Nebraska weather does what Nebraska weather does, dogs can keep playing and lounging in our spacious, temperature controlled indoor facility.

 “We feel so fortunate to have found Katie’s Kennel! The facility is clean and beautiful. The dogs basically have a party every day! Katie is wonderful to work with and there’s such positive energy all around the property. We can leave our dog without any worries!”

MORE INFORMATION

Omaha Dog Boarding FAQs

  • Tiny Town is our original location, established in 2011. In 2024 we opened Big City next door to give our growing business more space and allow us to create experiences more thoughtfully tailored to each dog’s personality.

    Today, Tiny Town is designed primarily for our smaller dogs and senior guests, while Big City is home to our medium and larger dogs. While weight is one factor in placement, age, temperament, and play style are also considered to ensure your dog is placed in the environment that suits them best.

  • We offer a private Daycare Club for our clients. Dogs must complete their trial day and have at least one successful overnight stay with us so we can determine if our daycare club is right for them and for the group. Please let us know if you have more questions!

    If you have any trouble finding us, just give us a call: 531-444-7875.

  • We administer medications at no additional charge. Just provide clear instructions and we’ll take care of the rest. Due to the level of monitoring required, we are unable to accommodate diabetic dogs.

  • We do not offer any grooming services outside of our Exit Baths.

    Our baths consist of a shampoo, rinse, and a towel dry. We use a hypoallergenic and gentle shampoo for all coats.

    Please let us know if you’d like an exit bath for you dog on their final day.
