Our dogs love BarkU! If I make the mistake of telling Duke that he is going to BarkU tomorrow, he gets up every 3-4 hours during the night to let me know he is ready to go. So cute!

Jack had his first day at daycare and seemed to love it! Since he has spent time in and out of shelters, we were a little concerned about how our anxious boy would adjust. Thankfully, it looked like the staff placed him in a group that matched his energy level and personality, which immediately put our minds at ease!

Thank you so much for your kind review, April!

We're thrilled to hear that you and your dog had a great experience with both daycare and their bath. Our team works hard to create a safe, clean, and fun environment where dogs can enjoy their day while pet parents have peace of mind, so it's wonderful to know that came through during your visit.

We're especially glad your pup got to enjoy some playtime and head home fresh and clean after their spa treatment. There's nothing better than a happy, tired dog who smells great too!

Thank you for trusting Bark U and for taking the time to share your experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to seeing you and your dog again soon! 🐾💙

Our dog, Millie had her first daycare (and soon to be boarding) experience at Bark U today! As a nervous dog, their staff was very accommodating to providing updates to us as she warmed up. Millie is very excited for her next day of daycare!

Thank you so much for your kind review, Cassidy!

We know that first visits can be a big step for dogs like Millie, and we're so proud of how well she did during her first daycare day. It was wonderful to see her start to relax, gain confidence, and show us more of her personality as the day went on.

We always want pet parents to feel comfortable and informed, especially during those first visits, so we're glad the updates helped provide some peace of mind while Millie settled in.

One of the most rewarding parts of what we do is watching nervous dogs become excited to walk through our doors. We have a feeling Millie is going to continue building her confidence with each visit, and we can't wait to see her back for daycare and her upcoming boarding stay.

Thank you for trusting us with Millie. We're excited to be part of her journey and look forward to seeing her again soon! 🐾💙

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hi, my name is Junior, and I approve of BarkU! First, let me tell you something important: this place is SPOTLESS. As a dog who enjoys rolling around and investigating every corner, I can confidently say BarkU is one of the cleanest places I’ve ever visited. The humans here are amazing, too. They have trainers who spend time with us dogs, making sure we’re having fun, staying safe, and being our best selves. And if my mom asks how I’m doing, they happily give her updates so she knows I’m having a great day. Now for the biggest compliment I can give: I actually WANT to go here! At another dog daycare (which shall remain nameless), I wasn’t exactly excited about being dropped off. But when we pull up to BarkU, my tail starts wagging before the car even stops. I can’t wait to get inside and see my friends. By the time I come home, I’m sooo tired because of the full day of play, attention, and fun. If you’re a dog reading this, tell your humans to bring you to BarkU. If you’re a human reading this, trust me—I know a good daycare when I sniff one out! Paws up for BarkU! The only thing that would make it better would be a school bus pick up…here’s hoping!! 🚌🎒 — Junior 🐾

Junior, thank you for taking the time out of your very busy schedule of playing, sniffing, and making friends to leave us this amazing review! 🐾

We absolutely loved reading your perspective. Keeping Bark U clean, safe, and fun for every dog is something our team takes great pride in, so hearing that it passed your very thorough inspection means a lot!

It makes us especially happy to hear that your tail starts wagging before you even get out of the car. That's one of the greatest compliments we can receive. Our team loves seeing Junior walk through the doors and knowing he's excited to spend the day with his friends.

We're also glad your mom appreciates the updates. We know how important it is for pet parents to know their dogs are having a great time while they're away.

As for the bus pickup request... we'll have to see if Junior's address ever makes it onto one of our routes! Until then, we'll be ready and waiting whenever you arrive.

Thank you, Sandra, for sharing Junior with us. We can't wait to see him again soon for more daycare adventures and well-earned naps afterward! 💙🐶

I can’t recommend Bark U enough! I take my dog, Juno, there for daycare and she absolutely loves it. She is a high-energy dog, and a day at Bark U is one of the only things that truly tires her out. I have complete trust in the staff and their ability to provide a safe, fun environment. They are my first go-to anytime I need to find care for Juno, and it is such a relief to feel totally comfortable leaving her with them. Bark U has been a lifesaver, and I'm so happy we have such a great resource this close to home!
Reply from Bark U 2026.06.08
Thank you so much for the kind words, Matt!

Juno is such a fun dog to have at Bark U. We know how much energy she has, and it's always rewarding to see her enjoy a full day of play, socialization, and enrichment with her friends. Dogs like Juno are exactly why we love what we do!

We're especially grateful for your trust in our team. Providing a safe, fun environment where pet parents can feel completely comfortable leaving their dogs is something we never take for granted.

Thank you for being part of the Bark U family and for allowing us to be Juno's home away from home. We can't wait to see her again soon for more daycare adventures! 🐾💙

We took our 6-month-old puppy to BarkU for his very first daycare day, and it was everything we could have asked for and more! From the moment we dropped him off, the entire process was so easy and welcoming. The staff was absolutely amazing, and we loved getting the adorable pup date photos throughout the day. One of the best parts was the detailed report card, it made us feel so involved and reassured as first-time daycare parents. Our puppy needed a little extra help with socialization around some dogs, and we were so impressed that one of their behavioral specialists took the time to work with him individually. You can truly tell how much they care about every dog that comes through their doors. He had such a fun day, and we felt completely confident leaving him in their care. We’re already looking forward to continuing to bring him to BarkU for years to come. Highly, highly recommend!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Kelsey!

We loved getting to spend the day with Bear. He is such a handsome young Labrador, and at just six months old, he's right at that fun stage where there's lots of energy to burn and plenty of learning and socialization happening every day.

We're so glad you enjoyed the pup-date photos and report card. We know how important it is to feel connected and informed, especially during a puppy's first daycare experience. We're also happy that our training team could spend some one-on-one time helping Bear build confidence and positive social skills.

Thank you for trusting us with your sweet boy. We look forward to watching Bear grow and making many more memories with him for years to come!

Our rescue dog felt at home with Bark U staff while boarding. She also got full grooming and bath and looks fabulous!

Hi Gerrie,

Thank you so much for your kind review! We absolutely loved having Kerri stay with us. She is such a beautiful Golden Retriever, and it was wonderful to see her settle in and feel comfortable with our team during her boarding stay.

We’re so happy to hear you were pleased with her grooming and bath as well—Kerri looked absolutely fabulous when she headed home! Thank you for trusting us with her care. We can’t wait to welcome her back for another visit soon.

Our dogs (Mickey and Truffle) start howling with excitement about 1/4 mile from Bark U! They absolutley love going there for play and come home tired- which gives us a nice break. In addition to all of the fun, the friendly staff take good care of them and often have giveaways/treats for them. We love being able to give the dogs a play day during the week since we both work.

We are very much enjoying our time at BarkU. My puppy is getting to know so many new dogs and learning new things. Highly recommended.

Brought my 6month old dog for his first day of daycare yesterday. He had a great time, and was completely calm the rest of the afternoon. I really like that they require the assessment before accepting dogs.

Hi Deborah,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We loved meeting Kuma and are so happy to hear he had such a great first day of daycare. A calm, tired puppy after a day of play is always a good sign that they had plenty of fun and enrichment!

We’re also glad you appreciate our assessment process. Taking the time to get to know each dog helps us create safe, successful playgroups and ensures every pup has the best possible experience.

Thank you for trusting us with Kuma. We can’t wait to see him back for more adventures and new friends!

BarkU is wonderful! The staff is so friendly. They seem very knowledgeable. They came and gave me a summary of my pups first day. He is a tired boy from all the fun he had! The facility is super clean and is evidently well maintained.

Hi Devon,

Thank you for the wonderful review! We loved meeting Mikey and are so happy to hear he had such a great first day with us. A tired pup at the end of the day is usually a sign of lots of fun, enrichment, and new friendships!

We’re glad our team was able to provide you with a detailed update about Mikey’s day. Building trust and keeping pet parents informed is incredibly important to us. We also appreciate your kind words about our staff and facility—our team works hard every day to maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming environment for every dog in our care.

Thank you for trusting us with Mikey. We can’t wait to see him back for more adventures at BARK U!

We have a 5-month-old Bernedoodle, Remy, and were initially unsure about using a boarding environment for him. The staff at Bark U has gone above and beyond to make him feel safe, cared for, and happy. He has also been participating in Puppy Training, and we have been so impressed with the thoughtful weekly report cards, in-person training support, and helpful handouts each week. Communication is always easy, whether through messages, email, or phone calls, and the staff is consistently responsive and supportive. Most importantly, Remy has been happy, well cared for, and has not gotten sick, which gives us such peace of mind. We highly recommend Bark U!

Hi Charu,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! It has been a pleasure getting to know Remy and watching him grow during such an important stage of puppyhood.

We know how big of a decision it can be to trust a daycare and boarding facility with a young puppy, so we’re honored that you’ve chosen BARK U. We’re especially happy to hear that you’ve found value in our Puppy Training program, weekly report cards, training support, and educational resources. Our goal is to help both puppies and their families build confidence every step of the way.

Most importantly, we’re thrilled that Remy feels safe, happy, and well cared for when he’s with us. Thank you for recognizing the hard work of our team and for trusting us with your sweet Bernedoodle. We can’t wait to continue watching Remy learn, grow, and thrive!

Our dog loves BarkU and comes home absolutely exhausted. The bus pickup is so convenient for our hectic lives.

Hi Gina,

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We love hearing that your dog enjoys their time at BARK U and comes home happily exhausted after a day full of fun, exercise, and socialization.

We're also thrilled that our transportation service has been such a help for your busy schedule. Convenience is a big part of what we strive to provide for our clients, and it's great to know the bus pickup service is making life a little easier while ensuring your pup still gets their BARK U adventures.

Thank you for trusting us with your dog, and we look forward to seeing them on the bus and at daycare again soon!

We discovered Bark U after rescuing our energetic 7‑month‑old puppy, and it has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for him. The facility is clean, well‑run, and the professional staff clearly knows and loves what they do. Petey is always so excited to go to daycare, and he comes home happy, tired, and clearly fulfilled from a fun day of play. We recently used their boarding services as well, and it gave us so much peace of mind while traveling. Knowing Petey was in such good hands allowed us to truly enjoy our trip. Bark U has exceeded our expectations in every way, and we’re so grateful to have found them.

Hi Asha,

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Petey has become part of the BARK U family. At 7 months old, having a safe outlet for all that puppy energy is so important, and we love hearing that he comes home happy, tired, and fulfilled after his daycare visits.

We're also honored that you trusted us with Petey's boarding stay. One of our biggest goals is giving pet parents complete peace of mind while they're away, so it's wonderful to know you were able to enjoy your trip knowing he was in good hands.

Thank you again for your kind words and for choosing BARK U. We can't wait to see Petey back for more daycare adventures soon!

Our first time having Biscotti boarded and groomed was a great experience. They took such great care of him and he came home looking so nice! We won a raffle through our vet and they honored every bit of it. Very grateful for Bark U!

Hi Michaela,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We loved having Biscotti stay with us, and we're so happy to hear that his first boarding and grooming visit was such a positive one. There’s nothing better than seeing a pup head home looking handsome and feeling great!

We're also glad we could honor the raffle you won through your veterinarian and help make the experience a special one. Thank you for trusting us with Biscotti's care. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming him back for more fun, pampering, and tail wags in the future!

We have been using BarkU since our puppy was 12 weeks. He is now almost 8 months old! Lucky LOVES BarkU and so do we! We always know he is in great hands, whether he is there for daycare or boarding. The care and attentiveness the staff gives the dogs is unmatched. Thank you BarkU!

Hi Jeffrey,

Thank you so much for your kind words and for trusting us with Lucky since he was just 12 weeks old! It has been so much fun watching him grow from a little puppy into the confident, happy guy he is today.

Lucky is truly a favorite around here—not just with our daycare and lodging teams, but with our transportation team as well! Our bus drivers absolutely adore him and would probably tell you he's one of their favorite passengers. Seeing how excited he is for his BARK U adventures always puts a smile on everyone's face.

We're incredibly grateful for your trust and are honored to be part of Lucky's journey. Thank you for being part of the BARK U family, and please give Lucky an extra belly rub from all of us!

Overall, a solid daycare choice. The fact that they have a puppy specific program is nice. Our only complaint would be the upcharges they have for things. 11 dollars for a report card that tells me how she's doing, 8 dollars for pictures. I want both, but it's almost an extra 20 dollars per visit, which adds up quick! It was nice that they gave you them for free on her first visit, though. That being said, the dog loved it and everyone is nice, so we will be back!

Hi Oliver,

Thank you for taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback. We're so glad to hear that your pup enjoyed her time with us and that you've had a positive experience with our team and Puppy Preschool program.

We completely understand your perspective regarding photos and report cards. We know how much pet parents love getting updates, pictures, and insight into their dog's day, and we love sharing those moments. The challenge is that capturing, organizing, and uploading photos and detailed report cards takes a significant amount of staff time away from direct interaction with the dogs, which is why these services are currently offered as optional add-ons.

That said, we hear this feedback often, and we're actively working on implementing new technology that will make sharing photos, updates, and notifications much easier and more efficient. Our goal is to provide pet parents with even more visibility into their dog's stay while allowing our team to remain focused on what matters most—caring for the dogs.

We truly appreciate your feedback and your support, and we're looking forward to seeing your pup back at BARK U soon!
