    Our usual pet sitter was unavailable for our dog so we brought her here for the weekend. Everyone we spoke to, from the employee who patiently answered all our questions on the phone to the staff member and groomer who met us and took our girl in for her weekend stay, were helpful, knowledgeable and seemed to truly care about the animals. The staff took meticulous notes about our dog's diet and her daily medications. While our girl in particular is not much for socializing, they do offer that for their four legged guests, and from the pictures they share on their app, many of the guests really enjoy the daily parties! The atmosphere of the place was great, both inside and out! I would highly recommend The Barking Lot!

    Our boy Jack absolutely loves going to daycare at the Barking Lot!! He’s a very high energy little guy but when he comes home he’s definitely ready for a dog nap!! I also love that they post pics to Facebook so we can see just how much fun he’s having!! It’s absolutely “puptastic!!”!! 😁 day care is a wonderful socializing experience for him and also gives mom and dad a little break as well!! We highly recommend the Barking Lot!!

    This place is a godsend for working dog lovers! I used to stress about working long days and leaving my sweet Lux at home alone but he absolutely loves attending daycare! He doesn’t even want to go home some days. They send pictures of the cool activities he’s doing. When I drop him off the staff are so friendly and he gets so excited the moment we turn in the parking lot. So grateful for all the loving staff!

    Atmosphere was nice and it was really cool to have the dogs around. But bartender really should have tried to not talk to his friends so much and make a customer wait for almost 12 minutes for a specialty premade drink that should have taken no less than 3 min to get. Disappointing but we'll give it another try.

    We board our GSP here. They do a great job and he loves going to the barking lot. Not too expensive either. Great atmosphere.

    This is not your typical dog kennel. This is way better! It is like the Taj mahal of dog kennels. It is clean, spacious, has a wide variety of kennels you can choose from. The owner and staff are so caring and good with animals. Your pet is in the best hands here. I would highly recommend them.

    We have taken our dog there twice and had an amazing experience both times. I've also visited the bar side as well. It was also very friendly atmosphere as well. The owner Hannah was great both times i've been there. Great experience in the bar as well. It's the best place to take your animals in my opinion.

    My baby (king) goes to daycare at least 3 days a week and I have been so incredibly happy with the staff and how king is treated there. His nickname from Hannah is Sugar Bear because he is a sweetheart and loves everyone he meets. He just loves being there so much! I really really love the staff and how my baby is treated there. That photo was him passed out from his day at daycare! I have many more photos on the paw partner app which is a lifesaver might I add. You get pet updates, can make reservations, add things to your dogs stay/day, look at balances, and so much more. This is a fantastic place and I would definitely recommend it to anyone needing a safe place for your pup to go!

    I was so happy when this place opened. I enjoy bringing my dog to the bar, and she goes to daycare twice a week. Great option for the community!!
