What Reviews Say

255 reviews analyzed

BARKS is overwhelmingly loved by customers with 85% of reviews giving 5 stars. The facility excels in staff friendliness, dog happiness, and cleanliness - dogs are consistently described as excited to arrive and coming home tired and happy. The main concerns are occasional communication issues (hard to reach by phone) and some complaints about extra fees for services. A few serious incidents (injury, neglect claims) appear in 1-star reviews but represent a small minority. The owner responds to every review professionally and promptly, demonstrating strong customer engagement.

Worth noting

Dog returned with infected paw requiring emergency vet care - owner not notified promptly

โ€œmy dog needs to be brought to the emergency clinic on a Sunday which could have all been avoided had they called me earlierโ€

Dog returned smelling of urine and feces, lethargic, collar broken off

โ€œOur dogs came home from a 3 night stay smelling like urine and feces. They were lethargic and sadโ€

Dog came back filthy with eye shut, appeared afraid

โ€œwhen I picked him up he WAS NOT playing, active, alert and was very filthy. His eye was shut closeโ€

Neglect claim - dog needed emergency vet after pickup

โ€œCame back and had to take him Into Veterinarian on emergency visit at 4 o'clock in the morning after picking him up earlier that evening. He was neglectedโ€

Phone/communication issues - difficulty reaching staff, no call backs(8 mentions)

โ€œThey never pick up their phone. NEVER. I'm told the calls are outsourced to someone not in the facility and to leave a messageโ€

Extra fees for services (Sunday pickup, early/late check-in/out)(4 mentions)

โ€œYou're almost guaranteed to have to pay additional fees for boarding... you can't do a morning check-in or an afternoon/evening check-out without paying an extra $15 feeโ€

Dog not getting enough attention/play time, bored(3 mentions)

โ€œmy dog was very bored most of the day thoโ€

Reservation/booking issues - cancellations, lost reservations(3 mentions)
