Took very good care of our dog while we we were in town visiting the water park. Sweet staff and you could tell our dog was super happy when we picked him up! Plus, they even brought him out in a cute bandana. If we're ever back in the area, we will definitely be using them again for pet care!

Barking Lot has always been wonderful to our 17 year old precious girl. She doesn't fully appreciate them but we surely do! Molly is treated with love and kindness, as are all their children . We give them as many stars as possible! Jerry & Mary Margaret Hobbs.

Took two farm dogs, Happy and Kato, who's coats were dirty, matted and I consider them long haired. My babies came out of there happy and looking like they wanted to go to a show. We are new to the area and so blessed to have found them. Thank you and we WILL be back
