ABOUT SAMARKAND KENNELS
Regardless of the size or breed of your pet, our boarding kennel is ready to help with your pet boarding/daycare needs. There are no breed restrictions here; all are welcome. We do not require that all dogs be spayed or neutered, as we have space to separate the boys from the girls. Our 17-foot dog kennel runs, and the cattery has comfortable heated floors for winter warmth and central air for summertime heat.
Samarkand’s 6,000-square-foot facility is protected with a state-of-the-art fire alarm system. Our caring, trained employees monitor cats and dogs throughout their stay. The owners work at the kennel alongside the staff and reside on the property. Early drop-off or late pickup time must be prearranged with management.
Tours Of The Facility
You can tour our kennels and cattery during normal business hours, Monday through Saturday. Please do not bring your dog/cat along for the tour. Tours are not done when you drop off your pet or on Sundays.

Plan To Leave Your Dog In The Lobby
The lobby is the best place to say goodbye to your dog/cat. Your pet is very sensitive to your emotions. Leaving with confidence makes your pet less anxious about this new adventure.

Best place for my dog. They were willing to work with him when everyone else wouldn't. Bo is comfortable with them, and knowing my dog is in a good place when he can't be with me meanings the world to me. Thank you Samarkand for making Bo a part of your family.

We have a rescue dog that is very anxious and had a lot of issues including aggression. We were extremely nervous about leaving him with anyone other than family. This place, so far, has been fantastic with him and he was so excited to go after just the second day. I’m so glad we found a place to take our doggy that we can feel comfortable with and trust with our fur baby. They truly are a godsend.

As always, GREAT experience. 3 dogs, 2 husky mixes and 1 boxer/shar pei. I've been taking my dogs here for over 10 years. Very responsive, take GREAT care of my dogs. I don't worry at all when I have to travel.

My grand dog stayed here while his parents were out of town. They took very good care of Kobe. I picked him up and he was so happy. The staff were very nice. Kobe slept for 2 days straight upon his return. It was like he'd been on an exciting vacation and needed to recover. Highly recommend this kennel
