Any Ely/Duluth area dog kennels anyone would recommend?

One of the limiting factors in our trip length time frame is how long our dog is in the kennel.
Soon as we drop him off my fiance starts feeling guilty and begins asking how soon we'll return to pick him up.
He travels great in the car, but we could never trust him off leash. So taking him along in the Q wouldn't work. Besides during our last rainy/snowy Oct trip I reminded her that her cold wet dog would expect to sleep on her nice dry sleeping bag in the tent with us. Yes he's spoiled.
One solution would be leaving him nearby just before we go in.
