Our pups stayed here in September this year while we toured Yellowstone. We have 2 very active, full of energy, Airedale Terriers. It was reassuring to feel confident that my pups were well taken care of. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them go again if we return to the area. And I know my pups had a much better time here, than riding all day in a vehicle touring.

You guys are so amazing! We came to Yellowstone not knowing that dogs are not allowed on certain areas for safety. We found Spartacus Run Daycare, and we are so glad we came here. Our babies were so happy, well taking care of, well fed. She was very accommodating and made it work for us, and her daughter was also very loving with our puppies. Thank you both 🙏

This was one of the best experiences we've ever had boarding our dog, and Tish made it super easy to coordinate and accommodate our last minute booking. We were staying just behind her at Wander Camp while we explored Yellowstone for the weekend, and it was super convenient and she was in contact throughout the day and we came back to a super chill dog who had clearly been loved on. There was a nice outdoor area fenced in to enjoy, as well as a large shaded and cool garage with nice kennels, so I knew our dog would be comfortable. Tish also has some great recommendations on what to explore locally, and some surpassed our experience in the park! Thanks for an all around amazing weekend!

Highly recommended. I used the day care to see around Yellowstone.They were very nice and I felt comfortable leaving Ralph with them. Ralph had a wonderful time with them.They made it possible for us to enjoy Yellowstone. We will definitely use them again if we ever come back to Yellowstone.

I’m so glad I found Spartacus Run Daycare!!! They were in a great location to Yellowstone and they will watch your dog from 8-5, and even till 6 for a small fee. My dog had such a great time there he didn’t even want to leave when I picked him up. And he was pooped at the end of each day. They were so nice, accommodating and loving to my dog. They communicated with me fast and frequent, even sending pictures of my dog while he was there which gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend.

I did not want to leave my dogs at home for 10 days on a national park road trip, really my biggest issue was seeing a few sights at Yellowstone that are not dog friendly. I'm so glad I brought my two dogs here for the day! It was so nice of them to send photo updates throughout the day (though you may be like me and not get them for a while since signal is pretty spotty right in the park) even my anxious dog seemed to calm down and be happy there. If this doggie daycare wasn't multiple states away from home I'd definitely be taking my dogs back again soon :)

10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND! These ladies were so sweet and kind. They treated our dog like their own and she had a wonderful time with them. It was so easy to drop her off and go to Yellowstone knowing she was well cared for. When we go back to Yellowstone we will definitely use Spartacus again!

Tish and everyone at Spartacus Run were absolutely fantastic caring for our dogs, Artie and Shandy, while we toured Yellowstone for three days. Our pups received a lot of attention, ample exercise, and a loving environment from truly great caregivers while we saw all of the park's features.I highly recommend Spartacus Run's services if you're in the area for a trip or if you're just looking for a place for your dog to play while you have a busy day!

Spartacus run daycare for dogs is the absolute best in the business. My 2 golden doodles love it here. Im very picky on who I leave my dogs with, so if your like me look no further! Tish, Whitney & Page are awesome and care for every dog as if they were their own. You won’t find a better place

My dog had the greatest time at this daycare yesterday. The wonderful ladies who work here were kind and even sent multiple photos of my dog enjoying his stay. I was able to spend a full day at Yellowstone without worrying at all for him. I strongly recommend everyone to entrust their beloved pets here!

We were so happy to have found this doggie daycare so that we could go into Yellowstone and enjoy the park without our pups. Piper and Cheyenne absolutely loved their time there and they came home tired (which is great). We were nervous about leaving Cheyenne with strangers as she’s a rescue who is afraid of everyone. She settled in wonderfully during the day. We will definitely use Spartacus Run again if we are traveling in the area with our dogs.

These ladies were amazing! So nice and super easy communication. They allowed us to book last minute and gave our Rosie the best day while we explored Yellowstone!

Tish was absolutely amazing with our pups!! She was so warm and welcoming and adored our dogs from the start! So flexible and accommodating. We were able to have the best time in Yellowstone with confidence that our dogs were well cared for and loved. I recommend her for anyone looking for a dog daycare in West Yellowstone!

Yellowstone, in our camper from NH, was one of our biggest bucket list destinations and after getting a puppy in January, we didn’t know how we would be able to do this trip. National Parks don’t allow dogs in most of the park.We found Tish and her dog daycare place and it saved our trip. She was amazing with our young, wild pup! Lots of individual time spent with him. Tish’s daughter also took the time to give some love to our dog. I cannot say enough good things about Spartacus Run! I wish I could take Tish home with us so our dog could spend more time with her!Thank you for helping make our Yellowstone trip a great memory!! Hope you come to NH soon!!

Needed a sitter for our Labradoodle while visiting West Yellowstone MT for Park tours . Thank goodness we found this place since this is not a pet friendly town. Great place, service and wonderful people. Very accommodating.

10/10 Highly Recommend, My fur baby Bailey was well taken care of while my group and I explored west Yellowstone NP. It was a 25 minute drive not bad at all from our hotel. The ladies sent me photos through out the day kept me informed. If we’re ever back in the area I would book again. 🙂

It is hard to leave our dog with a place you’ve never been. Trish made us feel comfortable from the beginning. They loved on my Sydney and ensured she was well taken care of the whole time. The pictures were great. As you can see from the first picture she was exhausted! If you are hesitant to leave your dog please know they will take care of yours. I will definitely call them when I am back in the area! 5 stars!!

Teddy had such a great time here. I'm so glad I found Spartacus Run Daycare! They were wonderful, so caring, and loving. They go above and beyond, Teddy stayed for 3 days and every day I received pictures of him having fun. I totally recommend.

Great experience for our Bernadoodle Tuck. The space was sparkling clean, he had an elevated cot to keep him comfortable and we got cute pictures and updates while we were visiting the Park.We will definitely take him there again!Thank you for a great experience for our giant puppy!

The owners were great with our two dogs and so kind! Gus and Maya had a great time and it was great to have a place for them to have fun while we enjoyed Yellowstone.

Our dog stayed at Spartacus in June so that we could tour Yellowstone. It’s an easy drive from West Yellowstone to the day care. I was instantly at ease after meeting the owners. They had kennels in a large garage with fans to keep the dogs out of the sun all day which I greatly appreciated since our dog runs hot. They treated the dogs as individual family members and not a pack of dogs which was excellent. I also greatly appreciated the ease of communication via texts and their flexibility when I needed to shift our itinerary.

Can’t say enough good things about Tish! We were so thankful to have found a good place for our pup so we could explore Yellowstone for the day. Would highly recommend to anyone needing a place. She was professional, responsive and took great care of him.

My dog, Bella, a 15 year old Yorkie mix, does not always handle change well. Tish was so kind to her and Bella literally fell in love! Tish took great care of Bella on 3 separate days while we visited Yellowstone. Each day she texted me pics of Bella as well as a little bit about her day. The 2nd day I practically had to beg my dog to leave when we picked her up! It was so great to enjoy our time at Yellowstone knowing our dog was having a good day, too.

We used Spartacus Run to board our dog, Rylee. Fantastic experience- staff was very friendly and communicative. Rylee had a great time and staff provided pics during his stay - an unexpected and terrific touch. I will definitely use them again.

Great doggy daycare. Dropped off my pup before exploring Yellowstone. It’s about a 30 minute drive from the west entrance of the park. The family that runs the daycare was very accommodating. My dog had a torn ACL and needed to be isolated with minimal physical activity. The ladies made sure my pup was well taken care of, making sure she was able to get outside a little bit and go potty. They had her in her own kennel and with a water bowl and a cot. Pictures were sent throughout the day giving updates on how my pup was doing. Cell reception was very poor in the park but the pictures were very much appreciated!

Thank you so much to take care of Sunny! I was so nervous prior to my trip. To have a safe and memorable experience of visiting the first National Park, my family decided to bring five-months puppy and leave her at the happy place, Spartacus Run Daycare for three days. Staff are so friendly, easy to communicate, flexible with pick-up time if owners are late due to unexpected reasons. Thank you so much!

This was a perfect place to board my dog while I hiked Yellowstone. The folks who worked there were lovely and were able to connect with my dog right away. I really appreciated that they individually kennel the dogs so you don't have to worry about how your dogs gets along with others. Would highly recommend!

Murphy had such a great time at Spartacus. Tish was great to work with and took such great care of Murphy. We really appreciated the updates throughout the day. It gave us peace of mind to know he was being taken care of so well while we explored Yellowstone NP.

A great place for your dog to spend the day if you want to go for a hike in Yellowstone National Park. Very friendly owner and clean facilities. Better pricing than West Yellowstone but only 25 min. Away. We all loved the place (including our pampered pooch).
