I am so glad that I discovered Pepper's Puppies 10+ years ago. My black labs aren't used to kennels, so this is perfect for them. They always have so much fun at Pepper's Puppies. During the day they go for walks/hikes off leash. At night she allows them to sleep in her home, where ever they please. My pups get so excited as soon as I turn onto PP's lane. Even though they usually heel, soon as I open my car doors they run to Candance with joy. (I admit, they've hurt my feelings, because they didn't seem to care if I say good-bye to them... they're ready to have some fun!) I would never want to trust anyone else with my dogs. Candance has my complete confidence, is honest and has a true love for dogs. Thankfully, she does not board too many dogs at one time. But because of that, I hesitated to write a review because I selfishly wanted to keep PP's as my golden secret. Thanks for what you do!! read more

Our dog Shelby just returned from a 2 week stay at Pepper's and I can tell by how tired she is how much she loved it. Shelby was spoiled and loved while we were away - almost like she was staying with a family friend instead of a boarder. Thanks for taking such great care of our fur-baby! read more

We have been taking our boys to Pepper's for the last 2 years. She is hands down the only person I feel comfortable leaving our dogs with. She will text us updates while we are away and I can call at any time to check on them. She let's them sleep where ever they feel the most comfortable. Its so nice to be able to leave them and not have them caged the entire time we are gone. Our boys get so excited when we turn down her road! You won't regret leaving your little fury family members here while you are gone. read more

I think I might have found our spot!!! I was referred by a friend. I don't mind kennels, but Candace uses no kennels or crates, which a good if you are against those things!! I get super anxious about leaving my boy places, and Candace' transparency made me feel at ease. The big selling point for me was that she limits the number of dogs she will take at one time (6 I think?). (Too many boarding places take in more dogs than their staff can handle!!) She also has trails for walking on or off leash. She took my boy up in the hills with a playmate and let him run in the creek on their property. So he came back a little dirty but VERY happy. She even made sure he had chicken-free treats for him And her rates are *super* reasonable!!! read more

I've taken my dog to several places, but she gets pretty upset sleeping in a kennel alone at night. Candace is so thoughtful, it feels just like home and keeps my older dog calm.What's also nice is Candace has her own land to walk the dogs on. It's so nice to take her somewhere reliable! read more

I took my dog to Pepper's Puppies for five nights of dog boarding and couldn't have asked for anything better. Candace, the owner, is incredibly kind, and it's obvious that she cares very much about dogs, both her own and any that she boards. My dog can be a handful, but I could tell when I picked him up that he had had a great time. It's great to be confident that your dog is in good hands while you're on vacation, and Pepper's Puppies offers that; the dogs are never left in kennels, they get lots of attention, and are able to make themselves comfortable, whether that means hanging out outside or taking a hike or playing with toys or sleeping wherever they want...including on the bed (my dog's favorite)! And what's more, Candace charges less than most kennels in town, for something better than even the expensive luxury options offered at other places. I won't be boarding my dog anywhere else in Missoula. read more
