Needed a dog sitter for a vacation I took. Larry was more than accommodating and prices were very reasonable ! They also accept Zelle which is great. Definitely will use for now on when I need to take a trip. 😊

Mr. Larry took care of my dog Rocky while I was away on vacation. My dog and I haven’t been away from eachother for that long so I wanted to make sure I would leave him in good hands. After reading all the wonderful reviews, I felt that Larry was best fit to watch over my dog. Rocky stayed with Mr Larry for 4 nights…

Wow! Larry is so kind!! When I took my Biscuit there, I knew he would be well taken care of. He went above and beyond for Biscuit. I am so thankful for Larry, his great care for Biscuit and other fur babies in his car. He is such a blessing!!🥰 Biscuit will not go anywhere else!

After reading all the wonderful reviews, I felt that Larry was best fit to watch over my dog. Rocky stayed with Mr Larry for 4 nights and I wanted to share how pleased I am with this business. Mr. Larry is responsive and always sends photos/updates of your dog. The pricing is very reasonable and located near DFW airport (a huge plus) and the home is safe for your dog. I highly recommend Larry’s dog boarding and will use his services in the future.

I used Larry’s boarding service when I was in town for a wedding. We got delayed in coming to Dallas and he was more than reasonable in accommodating my large puppy Fitz at even a late hour which was very nice since I’d have to sleep in the car with my pup otherwise. His prices were more than reasonable! My dog loved his stay there. Mr Larry even let me take my dog out for a walk in between boarding. He was just all around very accommodating. Use the # listed on his website as this google one doesn’t have the correct phone number. I loved using his service. My pup did develop bacterial conjunctivitis afterward but he is a curious puppy and I’m sure got into something dirty, I had some eye drops at home and his conjunctivitis cleared up in 2-3 days so it wasn’t a big deal at all. Would definitely use again! Thank you again Mr. Larry for taking care of my sweet fur baby like he was your own! I enjoyed my weekend in full comfort knowing he was being cared for by someone in their home and being watched 24/7. If you’re a helicopter pet parent like me, use Mr. Larry and know that your pet is being cared for by someone in their home instead of a kennel where who knows what might happen overnight with no one around.
