dirty
I was excited to try this place to board my dog. It was close to my home and they seemed to really care about dogs. When I arrived, there was urine on the floor and I thought maybe it was just an accident that had just happened. When I returned for my dog, the place was even filthier and smelled so bad that I couldn't wait to leave. This placed is obviously way understaffed and quite possibly a health hazard. Yikes. Won't go there again.

Great Dog Place - Great People take care of the Dogs!
Barkstown is the best!
Tried a couple of the other high profile places but found Barkstown really cares for dogs.
Unlike other kennels where your dog might be handled by teenage workers, the folks at Barkstown are all dog lovers and clearly enjoy having your dog there.
The location is great - and there IS space outside for the dogs to run and play!
PLUS - the bonus is that the dogs get to play as a group - outside and inside - where else is there the "doggie daycare" option - nowhere else but here - open space playpen for the dogs with constant supervision.
This is a fun place to be dog.

Dissappointed
My experience with Barkstown started off well enough, however it quickly went down hill. I began noticing more and more dogs, the staff seemed to turn over daily. Everytime I came I saw a new face. I began questioning some staff members on their experience with dogs, and soon realize they had none. My husband complained quite a bit about how the dogs were urinating inside a lot, and I guess that's due to the lack of outside space for them to play. The small space was not an issue when there were less dogs, but I drew the line when I started picking up my dog and realized he was wet from urine. I watch a place that started off as a great idea, turn into a place that seemed to just care about how many dogs they could get in. I would never reccommend this place to any dog lover.

Been there DOG that !
Barkstown is small,dirty and has nowhere for the dogs to run and play. ( Did I mention how the dogs urinate all over the floor, due to lack of outside space for them to go).The staff is friendly, however they lack any real knowledge about dogs. I would only leave my dog here again if there was no other choice and it was for a few hours, and even then, I would worry, and don't even think about boarding your dog here overnight. They lock them up in small rooms at 7:00pm and leave them alone overnight, and someone comes only three times a day during the weekend days to let them out. I think someone started this place with good intentions, but they seem to be more into cramming as many dogs in to one space as possible, and collecting the money than they do on the health and welfare of our beloved pets. Your money is much better spent elsewhere.
