“Our lil Oliver has been going to Bark Avenue for 12 years! He LOVES it and so do we. We are so happy knowing that when we are away that Oliver is having a great time and that they know him so well and take care of his needs. No one is happier then Oliver when he realizes that the car ride has taken him to Bark Avenue for either a play day or a sleep over!”

5. Jacqueline & Uriel C.

“Jacqueline was a pleasure to work with to arrange daycare for Brutus. She was communicative; responded in minutes with very clear questions. She double checked that Brutus had all the necessary shots. I didn’t go inside, but from the outside the house looked perfect for dogs in a nice neighborhood with grass and a yard. Her two dogs in the house must have had great personalities, because Brutus came home exhausted from playing. Thanks again, Jacqueline! I’ll message you next time.”

“We loved working with Katey! We left our fur baby in her care and we couldn’t be happier!!! She was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond in keeping us updated.

We have already booked her again!”


14. Marilyn P.

“Marilyn and her son Adam were awesome. I took my 11 month old and 50 pound pitbull mix to them for a few hours and it looks like my pup had a great and fun time. From when my pup first met them, she was shy but she warmed up to Marilyn and Adam within minutes. She came home pretty tired as she probably ran around quite a bit and was entertained by them during their care. Thank you both!”
