Pet Boarding Training near Genoa City

“Our pooch loves it there. He actually gets excited to leave us overnight, which is rare. The staff is excellent and they gave us a tour.“

“I live in Burlington but bring my dog to doggie daycare in Lake Geneva to The Barking-Lot and I’ve been doing that for eight years.

Our dog Summer has been going there since she was a puppy. She’s 8 now, so basically her whole life has included this place. She’s done dog daycare, boarding, and grooming over the years, and I can honestly say we’ve never had a negative experience. She is happy and over-the-moon excited every single time I drop her off.

It’s consistently clean. It always smells fresh and welcoming. I love that the staff actually know her. This isn’t some big box place where you have to use name tags because there are seven Goldens named Max. They greet everyone by name. They know their customers and their dogs, and it truly shows that they treat everyone like family.

They know Summer’s personality, her quirks, who she plays with. After this many years, that kind of familiarity means everything. When we board her, I don’t feel anxious leaving her. I just know she’s in good hands.

Honestly, the staff is the best part of this place. And it should be anywhere. It’s the same group of people every time I walk in. There’s no constant turnover, no meeting new faces who don’t know my dog. These people are one of the most amazing groups I’ve ever met, and I genuinely feel like they’re a second family to my fur baby.

And it’s the little things too! The holiday artwork, the themed days, the small projects. I still have some of Summer’s artwork saved because it’s just sweet and thoughtful.

Summer grew up there. That says it all.“
