“Cooper came home perfectly groomed and soooo happy to have played with other dogs. Staff is welcoming and very pet friendly. It’s apparent they love their work. Highly recommend groomers and day care!!!”
- Patricia O.

“We took our puppy Reggie for a Meet~N~Greet last week and he had a blast. At first he was a little scared, but by the afternoon he was running with the pack. We took our last dog to Bark-A-Bout many times and it has always been a safe and well-run business. Highly recommended!”
- Brent H.

“Absolutely love this place! The moment I entered the door I knew this is where my puppy needs to be! Everyone was kind and made our 1st day so pleasant! Very clean and so much space for plenty of exercise! The added extras are a plus as well!”
