From my first inquiry, each team member has been extremely professional, friendly and helpful and has guided me through the process each step of the way. They all showed genuine care and went above and beyond to make sure my lovey was ready for his first boarding appointment. He was totally pooped after his first meet and greet which is a good sign! I’m so excited for him to enjoy another day of day care with his new pals! <3

I've added before and after photos! He's never come out of a grooming salon so relaxed and so white! He was not at all damp and it was very clear how much care was put into my pup. After several play dates and digging days in our yard, he was a grey fluff! He's back to a crisp white and his coat feels wonderful.

We took our 4 month old pup for her first groom and she was super happy coming back. The grooming was exactly what we want and our pup looked the cutest. Thanks a ton for the 5 star grooming experience.

I travel a lot and Badger is a day care pro. He fit right in and got the play time and exercise he needed. Happy dog = Happy Human

Loved how friendly they were, and answered any questions that I had. Although my dog was quite anxious going in, she didn't seem scared Coming out, and her hair was well cut (before and after pictures)

My little Havanese Ricky cannot wait to go in to see his little friends at the Barking Lot doggie daycare! He runs to the door as soon as we get out of the car. Peace of mind!I appreciate that the big dogs are separate from the small ones. The front desk staff is always very friendly and kind to all the dogs (and their humans too!)Update 9/23: started using their overnight service and my pup loves it! They send pictures and take good care of the pups. I also use the grooming service. Picture is my pup (black) and his friend.

I haven’t even been there. All I did was call for some information so my dog can attend the barking lot and wow! The person I was on the phone with was so patient, so informative, I’m so impressed by the customer service I received. Whether my dog goes there or not, im sure it’s a great and safe place.

We've been boarding with them for a few years now and our dogs love it. They always send pictures during overnight stays and everyone is very nice, especially Cheryl.

My baby Ragú has Alzheimer’s/arthritis and would not let anyone touch him but thanks to the barking lot staff and amazing groomer we were able to give a full grooming experience. Would recommend them to anyone!

We were in a rush to find a new boarding spot for our dog while visiting family in the area. The anxiety of the trip was too much for our 1 year old dog to be able to pass the temperament test, but the staff was very communicative, accommodating, and direct about options and alternatives.Although we didn’t get to use the facility we appreciate that they have good standards and care for both pets and owners!

My Luna, a Siberian husky, full of energy, always comes home tired after a day at the barking lot. Lots of great dogs for her to play with.

Barking Lot is awesome! I've been using their services for almost 10 years and the team never disappoints whether it is day care, bording (planned or unplanned) or grooming. I trust them totally and never worry. My Jake is guaranteed to have a day of fun and is always exhausted for the night. TY BL team!!

They made my Dolce Brand new he was so excited I couldn’t imagine what he was going through, they’re the best very cooperative and made my dog comfortable at home and took great care of him I would recommend this to the world as it was very hard for me to find any new groomers around the area take my word for it this is the place all the rest of the other places are very unprofessional but make sure take your dog to Barking lot they will have your dog looking flawless

So grateful for such a quality doggy day care in my neighborhood. The staff is always attentive and let me know how my pups day was. They have 3 “pens” that are rooms that group the fur kids by their energy level. My boy always comes home happy and tired. I’d highly recommended them to anyone looking for reliable help with tiring out their pup and giving them their best lives!

My poodle and I love the barking lot! I started bringing him as a way to socialize him since he was a very shy puppy. Now he’s very outgoing and loves other dogs! I also get him groomed there and they do a wonderful job at very reasonable prices.

I love love love this place. Everyone there is so friendly and caring. My dog, Burton, also loves it there, he practically runs to the door as soon as we park. They offer amazing daycare packages and are even open on the weekends and have boarding. I never worry about leaving my dog there whether it be for 3 hours and 3 days. He always comes home happy and tired! They care so much for the dogs and always do their best to keep everyone safe and healthy. My dog has been going since he was a puppy and this place taught he so much about being a good dog and interacting with other dogs and people.

They take great care of my senior dog who is a bit arthritic, but who still has her puppy spirit. So they make sure to put her with dogs her speed to keep her from overdoing it. Best space so far for boarding overnight. Melissa, Cheryl, and the rest of the crew are fantastic.

Staff is friendly and helpful. I love that my dog comes out looking great and happy! It only takes 1 hour for her to get groomed. At other groomers I have to wait for 4 hours to pick her up.

My dog loves this place. He will try jumping out the car as soon as door is open and rush to the entrance. The staff is great to him.

My dog Lola loves the Barking Lot. She has made many friends. The staff are great. Cheryle is wonderful, she loves all the dogs. She is very thoughtful and sends pictures to let me know how she is doing.

My 2-year old husky loves his play days at The Barking Lot! And they go the extra step to take videos of the pups playing so you can see just how much fun they are having. We’ve also boarded our dog and had great experiences. Staff communicates well and pricing is fair. Definitely recommend!

I’ve taken my dog here a few times for overnight boarding and daycare. She loves it! She loves the people there. They love on her and call her by name. She’s comfortable with them. She recognizes other dogs and I can tell that they’re friends. The Barking Lot staff sends me pictures of my baby having the best time. The staff is always professional, friendly, and courteous. I would absolutely recommend them!

I was very nervous to get a groomer since my dog has had past traumatizing experiences with a groomer. The people here are nothing short of excellent. From their ability to calm my dog to their compassion I truly couldn’t ask for better

First time this past weekend and our Dog could not have been happier! He was well cared for and had a blast.

My pup is a rescue and has had a journey to get to her forever home. Having a dog that has only had a history of abuse, she is learning how to “dog” with love. The barking lot team has been amazing in our journey and my dog truly loves going there everyday. She has slowly warmed up to all the staff and they make special “play dates” with the dogs she is best friends with. They are accommodating to you and your dogs needs. Everyone truly cares about the animals under their care. I would recommend their services to anyone.

This was Mr. Bixby's first time at a groomer. The barking lot is clean, staff friendly,helpful and responsive and my boy looked adorable. The groomer was wonderful with the pup. The prices are very fair and I will be bringing him back in 8 weeks! Thank you all!

I can't say enough how glad I am that I found this place. Hands down the best dog daycare. I started taking my puppy Ziggy here when he was a few months old and he's been going ever since. Right away I could see that the staff loved the animals, were considerate, responsible, and kind. My dog absolutely loves coming here and I trust them 100% with him. It's huge to have a place that I know I can take him when I need to for daycare or boarding and know that he's in good hands.
