When we decided to start this venture we had been in the dog care business for many years. Our minds were fresh with the ideas, worries, and suggestions we heard from pet owners while working as Kennel Managers, Veterinary Assistants, breeders, and show competitors. These insights gave us the inspiration to build a facility made to your specifications.Large indoor runs, spacious turnout areas, visual barriers, green fields, natural shade, and close contact with caretakers are the key features that increase the quality of your pet's stay.
Services
As our clients return from family or business trips they often say: "You know, I never worried one bit about my pet while I was gone". This is music to our ears. Happy pets and happy owners is our ultimate reward. We believe that giving you an "inside" look at who we are and how we function, will go a long way to helping you feel like many of our old time clients.
We ask that you simply send us an email containing the information below and any questions you might have. Your request will be answered within 24 hours. Should you not get a confirmation within that time, please call us at 801-377-4412. You may copy and paste the above points to your email for a guide to follow while creating your reservation request email.
Every dog is housed in large indoor kennels and in wings with a maximum capacity of six other "neighbors." This decreases the stress level, noise, and "warehousing" effect created in other facilities. This allows for a better sense of security and personal space. In the course of the day your dog will enjoy a minimum of two individual playtimes in large turnout grass/gravel areas.
A boarding period is the unit of time that starts on the day of drop-off and ends at noon of every subsequent day. Evening hour pickups may stay until the next morning at no extra charge since last day is already charged. Very few kennels operate seven days a week, particularly on Sundays. Since many of our clients return on Sunday afternoon and go to work early Monday morning, we decided to grant a two hour pick up period on Sunday evening so your pet can sleep at home that night as you get ready for the work week.

We are 100% happy with Ricmar Kennels and will most definitely bring our dogs back! We have a socially awkward Czech Shepard who normally stresses when we leave. Our dog had no problem there and even got close with the owner. That shows us that our dogs were definitely happy and taken care of! Definitely appreciate them for taking care of our pups.

Such an amazing experience. We had to board our dog for a few days, along with his sister, while we were in California. I chose Ricmar Kennels because of the high reviews. When we arrived, I knew it was going to be a great experience for Cap. There weren't any issues while we were gone and Cap was as happy as ever when we picked him up, giving love to the owner before we left. Would definitely recommend for short or longer boarding times.

Ricmar Kennels is our go-to place for our dog! He gets anxious being away from us, but every time he's stayed at Ricmar Kennels he has had so much fun, and has even not wanted to leave once or twice! The owners take amazing care of the dogs and you can tell they really care. Our pup got lots of play time with other dogs that he got along with, and even was given a complimentary bath before we took him home. We will never go to any other kennel! If I could give a place 10 out of 5 stars, this would be the place!

I honestly couldn't be happier with how Ricmar has taken care of our buddies since we started boarding with them in 2016. Ricardo and Darren are absolute top notch professionals that obviously care deeply for the animals in their care. They always maintained great communication, took special considerations for our older dog, and were there on time every time. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars, they've earned it.

I will be dropping off my baby (10 month old pit) tomorrow for her second stay at Ricmar and felt compelled to write a review as I have zero anxieties or worries about it! My pup, Piper, is my first ever dog. It's just me and her, and we only moved to the area in the Fall; she means more to me than anything, and when I had to board her for the first time over Christmas I was terrified.
I chose Ricmar because of the amazing reviews, and they did not disappoint. I picked up a happy and clean pup when I got home and booked for my next trip (tomorrow) the very next day. Everyone here is extremely sweet, respond quickly to check-in emails, and genuinely love animals. I highly recommend Ricmar!

I am beyond pleased with Ricmar Kennels. My husband and I took an impromptu trip out of state and took our dog, but didn't feel that the trip was suitable for our cat. I left my Persian, Alfie, with Ricmar Kennels after reading the positive reviews. I was very nervous to leave him there as he is a bit high maintenance with his face/eyes needing to be wiped with a cloth 2x/day, plus, he is so important to me.
I left my instructions with Daren, who is the one who took care of Alfie. He did an excellent job, not only with keeping me updated on Alfie's well-being throughout my trip but also with keeping his face cleaned to prevent staining. In fact, when I picked Alfie up, he was just hanging out on the desk with Daren and I'm not sure he wanted to come back home with me! I can tell he had a good time and was comfortable and well-cared for. Now I have a place in Utah Valley I can trust with my precious cat. Thank you Daren and Ricmar Kennels!

When I need a safe place for my dogs, and there have been a few, Rickmar Kennels have watched over them. Through the years the excellent care they consistently extend to our dogs is outstanding. We love how happy and content they are when we arrive to pick them up, and not a bit of stress. We love how fluffy they are from their bath, and thanks again, Rickmar Kennels.

Loved Ricmar Kennels! Had a last minute emergency trip and Ricmar was extremely nice and accommodating! Facility was very nice and clean, and our dog seems very happy there. Love that they play with the dogs and let them socialize with each other during playtime. Felt like our dog 'Sugar' was very well treated and cared for. This will be our go to kennel when we need to board our dog!
