“Kyla was incredible!! From the initial contact to pickup, she was friendly and professional. She took the time to know my dog’s needs and preferences.

“Our 4-year old cavapoo Jojo had an absolute blast during his 2-week stay with Dayana while we are traveling abroad. Dayana sends a lot of pictures and videos, which eased our nerves significantly since we are so far away. She takes great care of him, and I can tell Jojo felt right at home. Jojo even made a couple of friends there. She follows our instructions very closely which I know is not easy to follow along and do it consistently. Will definitely come back to Dayana again!”

“Nadia was SUPER helpful and you could tell how genuine she was. My dog is usually not liked by daycares because of his silliness but Bark Blvd is one of the only daycares who loves him and he came home absolutely KNACKERED after his first day. We could tell he was so happy to be there.”

K9 UniversityLocal facility
“My dog has been going to K9 University for about 8 years. When I’m out of town or not I take him there for doggy daycare. They take care of his grooming. I also have enrolled my dog into their classes for nose work, agility and obedience and my dog absolutely loves it. I am also satisfied with the results and experience of K9 University INC. Their staff members are well trained and they all practice the same delivery of services, for instance, what one staff members provide in quality customer services so does the remaining 5 staff members, therefore the quality you receive from this company isn’t compromised; moreover, they go above and beyond. They are all very professional and possess a wonderful attitude – they look very happy to be there. I’ll most definitely recommend using K9 University INC.”
