What Reviews Say

172 reviews analyzed

Bark and Play Denver Dog Daycare and Boarding receives overwhelmingly positive feedback for its caring and friendly staff, with many reviewers noting that dogs come home happy, tired, and excited to return. The facility's webcams, flexibility with scheduling, and attentive care are frequently praised. However, there are a few serious complaints: some non-customers and one customer reported front desk staff screaming at dogs, a single review claimed dogs were not let outside for days, and one customer had an appointment issue where the staff member reportedly yelled at a dog. Overall, the business is highly recommended by the majority of reviewers, who feel their dogs are treated like family.

Worth noting

Owner/front desk staff reportedly screams at dogs

β€œI am not a customer but have a real hard time listening to how they scream at the dogs all day long during their so called play time. The woman that screams at the dogs for 'Barking' needs to find a new line of work.”

Dog not allowed outside for days; possible neglect

β€œWe boarded our dog for 4 nights, and noticed from watching the web cam that the dogs had not gone outside in days.”

Appointment not honored, front desk staff yelled at dog in back

β€œShowed up at 6:30am as they require for new dogs and was told that I did not have an appointment and that they did not have room. I heard the guy at the front desk screaming at a dog in the back.”

Staff vocal discipline (screaming at dogs)(3 mentions)

β€œThe woman that screams at the dogs for 'Barking' needs to find a new line of work.”
