    First full day at Bark City. On top of the world!! this is one happy Lucky Dog
    M M.

    My first dog, Lucky, used to come here and was well-loved and cared for. My new puppy Winston just started here. He is very tentative and cautious. Your staff has been so gentle and patient with him. Thank you for providing a safe, fun space for him and peace of mind for me!

    Something is not right with the daycare experience here. There is no way to see how your dog is doing as there are no webcams or tours. There are no messaging updates about how your pup is doing until several hours after you have picked them up. Also, they accept drop-offs with no reservations, so exactly how many dogs are in the facility? My mini poodle went for a half day daycare prior to boarding to get her used to the place. When I picked her up she was in a full blown state of panic, with heavy panting that did not subside. We ended up at our vet to make sure there wasn't some injury. They were so uncomfortable with her relentless panting that they advised going to emergency. She go x-rays and blood work and showed as healthy. But the panting went on for several hours and finally she was diagnosed with a stress response to the daycare. No one ever called to say my dog is in distress and should be taken home. When I asked about her day I was told she was anxious and should come more often to get over it! The picture sent to me later that evening showed a stressed out dog that apparently went on all day. My dog has been to several daycares without an issue and I only tried Bark City because I thought it wold be nice for her to be outdoors instead of in a warehouse. I would not advise going here especially if you have a more sensitive pup. I am now stuck with $1200 in vet bills and a traumatized dog.

    Bark city is just the best! We've been using them for a couple of years for both doggy daycare and occasional boarding but I'm leaving this review because they also do amazing baths/grooms!! First time I did it out of convenience, at the end of a boarding stay, but over time I realized how much better he looked and smelled after his bark city bath/tidy! They are really the best and you can tell the staff really cares.

    Best dog daycare around. Friendly staff, convenient, and great prices. Give them a try your fur babies will thank you!

    This review is way overdue!!!! I've been taking my dogs to Bark City for over two years now, and they have never let me down. They're incredibly accommodating, whether it's daycare, boarding, or a last-minute schedule change. Their communication is always top-notch, and I always feel in the loop about how my dogs are doing. Today my 2 dogs had a spa day, and they sent me the cutest photos, seriously, it made my whole day!!They take such great care of every dog that walks through their doors, and you can tell they truly love what they do. Bark City is the gold standard for dog daycare and boarding. Highly recommend them to anyone who wants the best for their furry family!

    "Simply the Best--Better Than All the Rest"! -Tina Turner Bark City in Huntington Beach is, without a doubt, "simply the best, better than all the rest" when it comes to caring for our furry family member. This incredible team has been a true lifeline for our family, supporting us through one of the most challenging times of our lives--a life-threatening health battle. During those 3 AM or 4 AM hospital runs, Bark City was there without hesitation, providing love and care for our sweet Ginger like she was one of their own. For Ginger, Bark City is more than just a daycare--it's her second home. The staff is beyond extraordinary, with warmth, kindness, and an unmatched dedication that you just don't find anywhere else. There are truly no words that do justice to the greatness of this place. While we can't make it 3-5 days a week like we used to, every single visit feels like coming back to family. From the welcome smiles and heartfelt hellos to the excited pup I drop off and the wonderfully tired one I pick up, Bark City delivers every single time. Thank you, Bark City, for being a "legend" in pet care. As Tina Turner says --"better than anyone, anyone I ever met!" Ginger and our family are endlessly grateful for all that you do.

    Bark City is top-notch! My dog moose loves it there ! He body wags all the way out the car up to the door

    We have two great danes . They have been going to Bark City for almost 7 years. Bark City has cared for them like they were their own dogs . Each time they visit ( once / week) we get photos during the day of them playing. The two dogs come home happy and tired from a full day of being dogs doing dog things. They love Bark City . We have also boarded the dogs at Bark City for up to a week when we went on vacation. Thank you Bark City !!!

    First time boarding my pup, Milo, and I can tell he had such a great time here. He's knocked out when we arrived home from all the playtime he had at Bark City. This place is a gem!

    I can't say enough great things about Bark City. My dog is everything to me and I don't trust anyone but Bark City to watch him overnight. He's 4 1/2 now and he's been boarding there since he was a puppy. I've boarded him for more than two weeks and was never even nervous about it because I know how well they take care of him!

    We have been taking our 2 beagles to BC for years now. They enjoy being around other dogs playing and barking. In the summer or on hot days they can splash in little pools. Their overnight stays are good for them and us. I especially like when I pick them up from a half day, full day or an overnighter. They are happy and tired and so are we. I highly recommend BC. Their staff are kind and caring to my dogs and it shows.

    See all

Prior to the stay, I was told first-timers get 1 week of free boarding. Knowing that we'd be out of the country for 2 weeks, this was perfect, on top of thinking the workers were nice. I also made sure they would be sending photo updates EVERY DAY via email and that there are cameras in the play area for us to check on him. As the front desk lady could tell, I made sure to make their lives easier, so I printed out 2 A4 sheets of things to know about my pup, being as detailed as possible so they wouldn't be confused about what to do since he's still a puppy. Two weeks later, we had to ask our friend to pick him up because they said no one could help release the pup on Easter Day. When they went to pick him up, both the bowl and the bed were missing, and they couldn't find them on the spot. They had to be delivered the day after, and ONLY because I made that phone call to confirm if they could find my puppy's bowl and his ginormous bed. During those two weeks, we clearly informed them that we would be out of the country and that SMS wouldn't work, yet they didn't remember until I emailed them, twice. Over the 15 days, I could barely see my pup on the camera, and I only received THREE email updates and one 10-second video of my puppy, which didn't even show anything meaningful. It felt like it was recorded just for the sake of sending something. One of the updates was also sent only after I emailed them the second time. Being told we'd be getting one week of free pet boarding for first-timers was WHY we chose to stay here. The staff also told us we could call for a refund if we were mischarged. Two weeks later, when we called, the lady told me they were going through reorganization, so workers were moving around, maybe that's why things were missing, and that the free first week only applied to daycare. I would have to speak to the manager about my concern. The manager obviously had the answer in mind and avoided my phone calls a couple of times, on top of my calls getting hung up more than 2-3 times during transfer. When she finally picked up, without hesitation to my question, she said she couldn't refund me for the first free week, but she could offer me a discount, or a free daycare day or some other discounts. Lol. What's the difference between giving me back a 1-week refund as your team promised versus a discount? Why not solve the problem instead of dancing around it? Why am I getting "punished" when your workers told me the wrong thing? Sure, you might lose a couple hundred bucks, but what's more valuable is that you're losing is a customer who will no longer trust your business, and the word-of-mouth effect that could've helped bring in more customers. As a business owner, you should understand better why pet owners trust you with their dogs and what they expect, especially in Orange County. Unfortunately, our first experience was horrendous and extremely disappointing. The level of disorganization and hassle is beyond disappointing. If you're looking for a pet boarding hotel, I strongly suggest finding somewhere else. Like the lady said, they're going through reorganization, so they might be too busy taking care of customers right now anyway.
