We LOVE bark yard! We are founding member there and have stayed because the staff are awesome, the facilities are awesome and my dog is always so excited to go (and so tired when picked up). My dog used to have a lot of anxiety being left home and Bark Yard was a place he could go and have fun, eventually his anxiety decreased and now he just goes for fun or when we’re away, but he does a lot better at home alone. Super grateful for Bark Yard. Plus, we love the events and being able to get in beverage and snack in the summer months 😊

I absolutely love taking my dogs to Bark Yard! Finn and Leo have so much fun playing all day and it makes my day to see them having a blast through the pictures that are posted daily. Finn and Leo have been attending daycare and boarding at Bark Yard since they were puppies and I know they are always well cared for by the staff. Thanks for taking care of our boys!

This was our first visit to Bark Yard and we enjoyed it. Unfortunately the front lobby was chaotic while we tried to fill out our application and get oriented. I wish we'd been given a little info about what was available and where on the property. The large dog area is large and beautiful! Plenty of seating, water bowls, shade, obstacles to play on, and a variety of terrain for the pups. Trains going along the property are a little loud but fun to watch. We were surprised to see quite a few little dogs in what we thought was a big dog area. We didn't get a chance to eat there but will try in the future. Update 5/2023: we bring our 3 here at least a couple of times a month. The place is welcoming to both humans and dogs. Tasty snacks! Consistently good service at the patio. They've recently updated the landscape materials nicely. Worth the 20 minute drive.

Bark Yard is simply amazing and greatly helped us out. We went on an impromptu trip out of state and needed a multi-day safe stay for our pup. It was very last minute planning; this place had immediate availability! I have to specifically mention that the staff communication here was beyond phenomenal. I reached out by email a few times and received immediate and attentive responses. As I’m sure everyone knows, most businesses do not provide this; so being made such a priority stood out to us. There was quite a bit of paperwork to fill out, and I’m stating this as a positive. My dog is my entire world, so I appreciated how thoroughly the employees wanted to get to know her before she arrived onsite. Luckily we had all of her vaccination records, too. Like with most boarding facilities, you’ll need the Rabies, Bordetella, and DHPP shots up to date. They also have a really incredible outdoor play area here, which you’ll see when you drive up! I don’t have a single complaint about anything. Our baby was in such a great mood when we picked her up, so it was apparent that she had a blast. We would definitely trust this place again in the future!!

We love Bark Yard. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our pup comes home happy and exhausted every time!
