“One of the best dog boarding facilities I have stepped foot in! It’s clean, doesn’t smell, and has enough space for any size dog with runners for their leisure to come and go outside. The prices are reasonable, and the services are exceptional. I will bring my pooch here again.”

– B. C.

“My cats recently stayed here for a few nights, and it worked out very well. My two cats got to share a space (something we specifically look for), and there was plenty of room for them. The people who work there are great; very efficient and caring.”

– Angie

“Larkins is amazing! They are so responsive and very reasonably priced. My dog got skunked early morning. I messaged Larkin’s on Facebook several hours before they opened; they responded almost immediately and told me to go ahead and bring my dog in when they opened. Thank you!”

– Phoenix R.

“I have been a customer for almost 15 years. I can truly count on our dog being cared for without worrying about her. The owners are passionate about their facility, and it shows how it is run. The staff is excellent and professional. Runs are clean and safe. Thank you!”
