Reviewers highlight the facility's cleanliness, spacious suites, and staff attentiveness, noting that dogs typically return happy and tired after daycare or boarding. Many appreciate the initial play evaluation process and the availability of photos and videos during stays. Pricing is described as competitive, particularly with multi-day packages. However, two identical low-star reviews criticize a lack of communication and an unaddressed injury sustained by a dog during a holiday stay.

This so far has been a wonderful place for my dog to go. It is convenient on my way to work, great hours, and has a groomer plus vet. They sent me pics on Lukas first day with his new friend. If you are midtown then this is a great place for your dogs needs.

My dog loves it here and so do I. I’ve tried other daycares and wasn’t impressed at all. Decided to try this place out and every time I drop her off she is ready to go play. I do really like the process of when a new dog comes they evaluate your dogs play style. I also like the fact that there is a capacity of dogs they take a day, it makes me feel better dropping her off knowing that the staff to dog ratio is good. All the staff are very kind, helpful, and you can tell they really care about the dogs that are there. Very thankful I found this place for my girl💕

My girl has had a rough life and is not dog friendly. But I have to go into the office 2 days a week. I found the Bark Park in my search for daycare. They have everything! She does day boarding since she can’t do playgroups. She gets individual care and is clearly loved by the staff. They are very understanding and accommodating of her needs. For those that are dog friendly, they do parties, photo shoots, etc. If you’re looking for an awesome place for your dog, this is it!

Tracy Winfrey2 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Tracy has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
My dog stayed over the Thanksgiving holiday. I called multiple times and no one called me back. It took a couple of days for them to send me an email with pictures. When I picked up my dog, he was limping badly and we had to lift him into the car. I called to inquire as to why my dog was limping, as of today, no one has called or emailed. I will never take my dog there again. Yes, he has a bad knee, but he wasn't limping when we took him and told the staff when we brought him. He walked fine, but we had to lift him into the car when we picked him up.
Response from the owner · a year ago
Hi Tracy, we’re sorry to hear about your concerns and appreciate your feedback. We did note in your reservation that your pup has a pre-existing knee issue, which may explain the limp at pickup. Our phones are closed on the holiday itself, which is likely why we missed your calls, and photo updates are available as an optional add-on service. We regret that your experience did not meet expectations and we’ll continue working hard to ensure every pet and owner feel confident in our care.

My Daisy loves, loves, loves this place! She can't wait to get in the door when we arrive, and at the end of the day she's happy and tired! Also, the staff are super nice and friendly. Not only that, it's less expensive than a lot of other places, especially if you can afford to buy a package of 10 or 20 days at a time.

My dog absolutely loves coming here! After a day of daycare, he always comes home happy and tired. The staff are incredibly friendly and always provide a great update on his stay when I pick him up.
I highly recommend this place for any pup needing to burn off some energy and enjoy playtime both indoors and outdoors.
