What Reviews Say
147 reviews analyzedBarkMore Park is an exceptional dog boarding and daycare facility with an overwhelmingly positive reputation. The owner Mike and his team receive consistent praise for their genuine love of dogs, excellent communication via live cameras and email updates, and ability to handle anxious or challenging dogs with patience. A few isolated concerns were raised (kennel cough, pad sores, handling incident) but the owner responded professionally to each. The facility is clean, reasonably priced, and many customers have been bringing their dogs for years. The only notable criticism was from non-customers regarding the no-tour policy for kennel areas.
