The Local Bark is awesome! Easy to work with and super clean facility. need a place to keep your lovely pup - leave it to TLB to provide your dog a clean and happy hotel!

– Lover of Animals, Walnut Creek, CA
We have regularly boarded him for as long as two weeks at a time, as well as short 2 day stays. We are impressed with the attention the staff gives the animals, the cleanliness of the facilities, and more importantly, his excitement when we pull onto the street and he senses we are going to stay and play.

– Karen R., Citrus Heights, CA
The Local Bark is always friendly and accommodating. I love how they post pictures of your pets on Facebook so you can see them while you are away. I have recommended the Local Bark to several family members and friends and everyone only has positive things to say and will no longer go anywhere but the Local Bark

– Jessica E., Sloughhouse, CA
We were SO happy with our experience. Like others have said, the rates are super reasonable. They don’t nickel and dime you for things like “outside play time” and bringing your own food. The kennels are spacious and the place is emmaculate!
I WOULD MOSTLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE LOCAL BARK!

– Cindy C, Shingle Springs, CA
I don't know how else to say how much I love The Local Bark, except that now 6 of my friends take their dogs there. Every person I know that owns a dog, takes their dog to The Local Bark.

– Patrick H., Sacramento, CA
Absolutely Fantastic!!! There is so much room for the dogs to play our dogs always come home tired. We will never take them anywhere else ever again.

– Ernie H., Sacramento, CA
The Local Bark is awesome! Our beagle Murphy has stayed at a few doggy hotels around Sacramento and this one is the best! It was surprisingly affordable considering how nice the digs are!

– Erica T., Sacramento, CA
Wouldn’t take our ‘baby’ anywhere else! She has soooo much fun and is exhausted for 2 days after when she gets home, which I like to see. She is a golden and has tons of energy, so I know she is having a great time when staying at The Local Bark!

– Lynde S., Rancho Cordova, CA
I love the Local Bark! The owners are the most competent, caring people and they treat the dogs in their care as if they are their own. The attention to clients (human and canine) is personal and compassionate. The staff is friendly. The prices are very fair. I cannot say enough about how much we love the Local Bark!

– Schaelene R., Folsom, CA
My dog, Blitz, loves playing at the Local Bark. The boarding facilities are top notch and so is the training staff!

– Terry D., El Dorado Hills, CA
This facility is the best. It is a state of the art facility. They have individual kennels, places for Beatrice to play outside with other dogs and the owners and staff are amazing. We have had the best experience at The Local Bark and have recommended them to many of our friends for training and boarding. The real proof is when we arrive at The Local Bark to drop Beatrice off she is always excited and wagging her tail.

– Lisa S., Folsom, CA
The best doggie daycare and overnight place in Sacramento.

– Lynne C., Orangevale, CA
My three labs go WILD with excitement when they realize they'll be at The Local Bark for the day. Thanks for taking such good care of them and making them feel loved.

– Bonnie N., Loomis, CA
We just had our dog Vinny stay here last week and believe it or not he didn't want to come home :) We're planning on using The Local Bark for all of our boarding needs. Two paws up!

– Carolyn F., Carmichael, CA
These people here are great. Toured 3 places and decided to leave my dog at Local Bark. Well worth the drive out there from downtown Sac. Thanks guys for taking care of my dog so lovingly.

– Theresa D., Sacramento, CA
Well thank you local bark. My two dogs love the time spent there. Your staff are awesome. Thank you from Toni, and Duke

– Mitchel K., Sacramento, CA
Thanks for taking such care of our furry kid, George the German Shepherd. I can't recommend your business enough. The facility is immaculate and I know my pup is in great hands.Even with his (high-maintenance) natural dietary needs. George came home exhausted and happy

– Natalie J., Roseville, CA
I love this place and the staff, I am so happy to finally have somewhere to take him where I know he is happy, loved and well taken care of.

– Laurie P., Sacramento, CA
We have used several play, exercise, train, boarding services in the greater Sacramento area and I have to say without a doubt in my mind that the Local Bark has it's business well taken care of and that the place is the best in town. It is clean, professional and puts the customer's first.

– Mitzie M., Elk Grove, CA
Wonderful facility, with very loving staff!!

– Debbie D., Roseville CA
By day two, the receptionist knew the names of the dogs and greeted them. My two Jack Russell mixes were obviously very happy with their stay. Very clean ad nice smelling

– Kara S., Rancho Cordova, CA
