At Yellowstone Kennels, owner and primary caregiver Keela Huotari brings her background in Science and Physical Therapy Assisting to provide attentive, wellness-focused care for every pet. Her training allows her to closely observe gait, behavior changes, food intake, and bathroom habits—offering honest assessments so owners can seek proper care when needed. Yellowstone Kennels is a small, family-run business operating out of the Huotari home, with the lower level dedicated entirely to the dogs. Keela is supported by her husband Ryan, her son Kade and his wife Autumn—who also runs the full-time grooming service, Groovy Groomer—and her daughter Kierra, who often helps with enrichment and treat time. Together, the family prioritizes exceptional service, fun experiences, and a warm, community-oriented environment for every pet that visits.

Yellowstone Kennels is proud to serve Eastern Montana, Western North Dakota, and even long-distance clients from states like Florida, with a remarkable 96% return-customer rate. The team encourages visitors to explore the website, learn about their services, and review the “Getting Started” page for common questions. Keela and her daughter also enjoy photography and capture fun pictures of the pets in their care—making each stay memorable. They love celebrating pets’ birthdays and strive to make every dog feel special. Yellowstone Kennels is dedicated to providing a safe, caring, and personalized experience while making a positive impact on pets and their families.
