★★★★★ 5.0 Mrtrickydick · Nov 2025

First time boarding our pup Nzima and they were fantastic with her. Sent updates while we were outta town. Said she did a great job with play and boarding. Gave her a thanksgiving meal and bathed her before we pick her up. Even with the snow storm they were accommodating. We will definitely use them again. The staff telling us she's a sweet smart girl means the world. Thank you guys!

As soon as we pull into the parking lot, my dog, Gracie starts the full body tail wag. She can’t wait to go in and see all of her friends. It’s nice to know she’s well cared for and enjoying her day away from home.

★★★★★ 5.0 Shauntina Williams · Nov 2025

Neno loves coming to school 😊 he was super nervous when he started coming which made me nervous, but the staff took amazing care of him while being super patient during the learning process🥹! They always send the best photos of him with all his friends, he now whines when we pull into the parking lot!!🩷

Simba had the best time! He had treadmill walks every morning and some play times throughout the day. They told me they’d send pictures of him and they did-not just one or two but like ten! It was great seeing him look like he was having so much fun! Now he’s home and pooped! Can’t wait for my next adventure and to take him back! If you haven’t checked them out, now is the time!

Our pup has such a good time when we board him at Bark Avenue, and it's piece of mind for us knowing he's so well taken care of. They have seasonal parties too and provide adorable photos of your pup while you're away. Highly recommend them for boarding, daycare and day school for your dogs!
