This is a gem of a place! They cater to every need for our pups. Detail oriented, attentive, and always go above and beyond of any need that may arise. My one pup used to suffer from massive kennel anxiety with being crated and while she stays here, they have weaned her off anxiety meds and she’s happy as a clam! Amazing!

Fantastic staff that always takes great care of our two pups! We have one that loves to play and an older guy who just wants pets and walks. Both always come home happy and well cared for!

I don’t want to write this review and make it public because they are the best kept secret in Lakeville! Vermillion Kennels by Barks N’ Rec have been a godsend to our two pups Lily and Willow. They cater to their every need (be it needing alone time or dealing with anxiety in the kennel/crate). They allow Lily to play with her ball, while ignoring all the other pups in the playgrounds and Willow no longer needs trazadone while boarding overnight! They are always posting to social media so we know what the pups are up to. Their prices are reasonable, and they don’t nickel and dime you like other kennels in the area. They are our GO TO boarding facility! Thank you so much.

They take great care of our two dogs, so much so the dogs are excited to go in the building. My kids love to see the pictures and videos of all the dogs playing together too! Highly recommend!!

Picked my dog up a few hours ago. She stayed 3 nights. She had a great time. She played so much that she has passed out on the couch, probably dreaming about when she gets to go back!Highly recommen this place!

Our big gentle giant rescue pup Murphy stays here while we’re out of town and we will never take him anywhere else. Absolutely worth the drive from the cities for Murphy to get such personal attention with an amazing staff and pack of dogs. He gets baths, group play (in the dirt…his favorite), personal interaction with team members, and nap time… plus we get the most fun photo updates and peace of mind while we are on vacation. Thanks to the best team for always taking the best care of Murphy!

We are so happy with Barks and Rec at Vermillion kennels! Our pup loved his time there and looked so happy in all the pictures. The communication was great and whenever we texted for an update, a response was provided quickly. Kurt and Leigh are incredible and truly care about the dogs. When we picked up our dog, all of his items were neatly organized and he was so happy! We will be back again for sure.

We couldn’t ask for a better place to take care of our little guy when we’re out of town. These guys care for our pup as if he was their own. Every time we leave Cooper with them he has the best time, it’s really a vacation for him too :)

Vermillion Kennels is fantastic!!! My dog Franklin was very happy there for 8 days. They sent me pics/videos every day so I wasn’t missing him too much. They even gave him extra cuddles and let him sit at the front desk for a while. Franklin was exhausted at the end of his stay but I could tell he had a great time! 10/10 recommend and Franklin will be back next time Mom goes out of town!

I trust Vermillion Kennels with my dog. Their facility is clean, the staff are professional and communicative, and their rates are reasonable. My dog is excited when we pull into the driveway. I live in downtown Minneapolis and—in my opinion—it’s worth the drive down. I highly recommend boarding your best friend here!

I was very impressed from the beginning. We were shown the entire Kennel during our tour. Our dog has separation anxiety and has come home from other kennels full of dander and having lost weight. She seemed to thrive at Vermillion Kennels and I am grateful. The staff I have dealt with have been great. Highly recommended.

We've brought our dog, Minnie, to say here a few times, and every time has been a great experience! Just recently, we went on a 10-day trip overseas, and it was such a relief to know that Minnie was being well taken care and having fun while we were so far away on vacation.

My golden retriever Winston loves coming here! Everyone is so friendly and he’s always tired and happy when I pick him up. They send pictures and text updates which is a nice touch too.
