The Bark Barn, LLC

We love The Bark Barn. We use them most times if/when we go out of town. As a matter of fact we’re dropping the kids off tomorrow. It’s truly remarkable how excited both of our dogs act when they know they’re on their way. The are so happy to see Beth, Jamie, Jen and the entire staff upon arrival. It’s just the right speed for our pups. They don’t need the all day daycare of Jen’s other place Pittsburgh Paws Pet Resort. So this perfectly fits the bills. I joke it’s like the retirement home for puppets in the rolling hill of Sewickley! I’ll attach a few pics and vids of our happy puppers (NOTE: only the videos are from The Bark Barn property)! Thanks to all at the Bark Barn for keeping them smiling!

My boys love The Bark Barn! The facility and staff are amazing. I was hesitant to change facilities when my “regular” place was booked up, but The Bark Barn got me in without issue. They took great care of my energetic hounds, and they even provided me with updates when I asked. The boys were both sleepy and happy when I picked them up - the sign of a good stay! I look forward to bringing them back for other daycare and boarding needs.

Piper had a wonderful time at the bark barn. The employee at the front desk was so calm and wonderful that our usual crazy pup was relaxed and ready for her overnight stay. They were also incredibly accommodating to my weird schedule that changed our dates more than once. Thank you!

For years, I boarded my Havanese at the Pittsburgh Paws Resort which is run by Jennifer DeSalvo, the same owner as the Bark Barn. When Leo was in his senior years, Jen and I discussed the benefits of boarding Leo at the Bark Barn instead since Leo no longer enjoyed mingling with other dogs and had less energy. The Bark Barn was the perfect solution! Leo had his own indoor/outdoor space, as well as outside playtime. The staff at the Bark Barn is fantastic and so caring! It was great seeing Leo get excited when he saw the kennel. Kudos to Jen and her staff!

My pups, Durga and Deku, were living their best lives. Each kennel had its own outdoor run, and they got to romp around in a huge fenced-in field. But let me tell you about the real magic—Jen, the owner. She’s like a dog whisperer mixed with Mary Poppins. She sat with Durga and Deku in their kennels, making them feel so at home that now my English Mastiff prefers her over me. Seriously, he barely acknowledges me anymore. I’m pretty sure he’s planning to pack his bags and move into the Bark Barn permanently. If you want your dogs to have an amazing time and possibly find a new favorite human, The Bark Barn is the place. Just be prepared for your pups to love Jen more than you!
