We love bark collective! Our girl Oso sees them for boarding, pack walks, day care and most recently training. Trainers are so helpful training not only Oso but us too! Jillian and Cassandra talked through training & corrections and explain the reasoning behind every action. I love how in tune they are with identifying behaviors and tailoring training to her needs. We look forward to Oso's transformation! read more

We have a 6-month old puppy and need some help on occasion. I found Bark Collective and went by to see facility and meet the employees last week. I was very impressed with how clean and organized it was. They gave me a tour so I could be comfortable leaving her. We had our first puppy daycare today and everything went great, they even updated with photos midway through her stay. She did well and came home tuckered out! The employees have answered all questions and been very helpful along the way. read more

Bark Collective is the absolute best!!!! The staff is amazing and are so loving towards the dogs. Boomer is always soooo excited pulling into the parking lot and he comes home happy and exhausted every time. Super convenient to book and easy to add on services (I have them do nail trims). 1000/10!! read more

Everything is pretty great but man do they nickel and dime you every chance they get and they're already on the high end for surrounding places. They are militant about pick up. If you're 5 mins late they charge you for a whole day. If you want a bath after a half day they do it during the 4 hours, so you're paying for an hour while paying for the bath. Everything is an add on too- for the bath, for feeding. Etc. The play packages (which are 10 sessions) all have to be used within 30-days, which seems a bit overkill, at least 30 days from when you used it last or 90-days would be nice. There are several rules to try and keep track of, like the pup has to attend the facility every 90 days in order to be eligible to be boarded there, poop report every 6-months when they're tech good for a year. If money is no object, they're great. I wish they had doggie cams so you could see your pup play, but they do send a picture of them playing via text message. It's clean, looks all pretty and posh when you walk in, staff is nice, they do temperate tests for each dog, supervised play. We've used day care and boarding service and our pup is always excited when pulling into the parking lot. Boarding they have what I can best describe as very nice see-through pantry door kennels, giving privacy and viewing capabilities, along with dampening sound to give peaceful pup time. They can handle fresh food requests if you bring your own. We haven't used it, but they also have pick up and drop off service. We see the vans around town. read more

Bark Collective has been Delphi's happy place since she was a puppy. She is excited to go and tired when she comes home. The staff is fantastic! Allison is often the first and last face we see each visit- Delphi is happy to see her and happy to come home! Thanks for the loving care you give our puppy! read more

Found this place over the holidays. Was super worried about leaving my corgi, Spaghetti, as I have had horrible experiences with other places. All I can say is WOW. Such a beautiful facility!! More like an upscale boutique hotel than a dog boarding facility. The staff are all so helpful and the rates are surprisingly competitive for how nice everything is. It's nice finally having peace of mind knowing that my dog is in good hands. Can't recommend bark collective enough. Spaghetti even made a few puppy pals which is super nice! read more

Bark Collective is the best! Staff is so friendly they take great care of your fur babies. I've been taking my pup since he was young and have been working closely with the trainers who are all amazing and give great tips/advice. Would definitely recommend! read more

The BEST doggy daycare provider of all time! Truly exceptional customer service, very clean facility, and knowledgable & friendly staff. Being able to text them directly to book was especially convenient, and we absolutely LOVED getting the daily photo updates of our Kiki. We never worried about Kiki's health or safety while she was with Bark Collective, we knew she was in great hands! PS please consider opening a north san diego location!! We are moving, and Bark Collective is arguably the #1 thing we will miss from Newport - other doggy daycare providers simply do not compare. read more

Winnie and Lucy love going to Bark Collective! They have both gone through training, which has been incredibly helpful! We get complimented all the time on how well behaved they both are. Jillian and Casandra taught both us and our pups how to use useful commands like place, come, and check and were amazing to working with. We highly recommend Bark Collective for training and boarding! read more

Love Bark Collective. My dog Pepper loves it too. She knows when we arrive and always comes home happy and feeling safe. That means everything to be able to have a place to take her with all her energy and she is loved and watched after so well while she is there. Thanks for providing such a clean and safe place away from home for our pups. read more

After 2 weeks with Jillian and Cassandra our puppy Aspen is the best roommate and walking pal ever.

The team at Bark are just amazing. My doggie gets as much love, attention and care as at home. She always leaves happy and is super eager to get in there to play with the staff and other doggies. I can't imagine taking her anywhere else! read more

I couldn't say enough amazing things about Bark Collective! We've done it all with Jillian and her team, daycare, pack walks, boarding and a even a 2 week board and train.

I'm so glad we found them and we won't go anywhere else! read more

We are seriously loving Bark Collective! We have a bit of a shy JRT that is around 8 years old. We don't get out much, so BC serves as a great place for her to get in some much needed play time and meeting new fur pals! The staff is incredible, very communicative, and I love the videos and pics they post on IG! I always look forward to seeing my pup! I'm excited to try out their boarding and training services soon, now that we've had such a great experience with the doggy daycare side of it. Thanks again for everything and we look forward to our next visit! read more

Most awesome service great deals first and second time lol location is a great spot easy parking in back.. enjoy

Where do I begin with this one? I would give 100 stars if I could. Jillian and her team literally saved our lives. We called OC Pet Care essentially hopeless about our Golden Retriever puppy, Jagger. He had every undesirable behavior under the sun, minus going to the bathroom in the house. He was super reactive on the leash, lunging AND barking at people, dogs, bicycles, skateboards, busses, cars ... He would bark uncontrollably on walks at random people/dogs almost like he was an attack animal ... and he pulled so bad you couldn't even take him anywhere. The saddest thing is he stopped going to about 90% of the places we would walk him, and would rather be dragged by his neck. He would wine everywhere, growl and bark out the window and on our balcony. We tried everything, watching training videos talking to everyone. We tried every tool possible (collars, harness, gentle leader), nothing got through to him. It was very bad. The craziest part is that Jagger is the sweetest dog in the world. We found OC Pet Care and were super hopeful because Jillian is a behaviorist. We had about 10 days before she had space at the board and train, however Jagger kept getting worse and worse. Without even being clients yet, Dan agreed to meet us on a walk to try and show us a few tricks to get him through the week. We knew when Dan went out of his way to help us in the evening that OC Pet Care goes above and beyond for their clients. When Jillian got Jagger he was a disaster. During our week 1 check up she said he some of the worst anxiety she had ever seen and that he was going to be a challenge. He didn't make much progress in the first week, and although we thought he would never get better we appreciated Jillian's transparence and honesty. Fast forward to week 2, we get a call from Jillian. Jagger had made progress and he was ready for his first in home training session. As a behaviorist she knew exactly what to do for his anxiety using different tools at her disposal. When we did out first at home session we noticed a huge change, which left us hopeful. At this point she recommended a 3rd week and we happily obliged. We had another at home training session where we examined all his bad habits in the house and she helped us correct them. She worked him through all of his trouble spots and went back for his final week (he ended up staying their 3.5 weeks). Jagger came home on Tuesday (it's now Thursday) and we have a completely different dog. She gave us a plan and outline of how his days should look and what he should be doing morning to night. We have an aftercare plan that includes pack walks with OC Pet Care and individual sessions so we never go back to where we were. He is now the most relaxed dog and an angel. Essentially we both feel like we are living in a dream with our pup. He listens and his reactivity has gone down from a 10 to a 1. We still have to stay on him but with Jillian's instruction we feel confident. There isn't a high enough rating in my eyes for OC Pet Care. Moral of this review is that if you are hopeless with your Dog: Call Jillian. I'm sure she does just as great with the easy dogs too :-) read more

Thoroughly impressed. Detailed oriented, attentive, and responsive. I couldn't have had a better experience with them and it seems the same can be said for my senior dog! read more

Thank you so much Bark Collective for taking care of my little guy while we traveled. We travel often and I've always been hesitant to board him, but Bark Collective made the whole process smooth and easy for us. A super cute, and very CLEAN facility that allowed me to have reassurance that my dog was happy and safe. Highly recommend Bark Collective for your pets! Y'all are the best! read more

We use Bark Collective for day care for our big pup and looooove it. They are so good with him and communicative with me. I believe it's helped our puppy with great socialization and basic obedience since they correct behavior within day care as well. Highly recommend! read more

Bark collective is the best! Our dog is so happy every time he gets to go play for day care. The pack walks have helped him become so much more manageable in more ways than one - I can't recommend them enough to help train your dog! All of the staff is fantastic, communicative and friendly. So glad we found them! read more

Amazing trainers! They make it so easy to understand and implement the necessary changes and training in your dogs life. Can't wait to keep training with them! read more

I can't even give Bark Collective enough stars!! We have had our 2 Frenchies under Jillian's care since they were about 12 weeks old. They're 3 now. She's trained them, which was a challenge in itself! Her team picks them up 4 days a week, every week and walks them or entertains them at her facility. When we travel they are boarded at the facility. Our little Poppy acted ill a couple trips ago. Dan took her to the best emergency clinic and was in constant communication with me while we were in Mexico. When she was finally released from the emergency clinic at 2am. He went back and picked up her brother Chapo (this was the first time they were ever separated)!!!! He kindly took them both to his home so he could observe Poppy all night and he made both dogs comfortable by keeping them together!! I grew up in a veterinary hospital and I'm beyond picky about my pets care. The team at Bark will take care of your doggy as one of their own. This review is 3 years overdue! But they are THE BEST!!! We won't go anywhere else!!! read more

Bark Collective is the best! All of their four legged clients are family! I have my dog do pack walk adventures a couple of times a week, and she loves it! I also board my dog when I go out town, it is comforting to know that I never have to worry about her while I'm away, they take such great of her! They send daily pictures so you can see your pup!! read more

I cannot say enough positive things about OCPC. Jillian and Dan and the whole team are the absolute best. We initially utilized OCPC for their board and train service when we got a puppy last summer. After two weeks of training, we signed our dog up for pack walks. She loved them so much we made it a regular part of her week. Now when someone comes to the door, she assumes it's for her pack walk. They treated our Scout like she was one of their own. And we trusted them implicitly with her. We're so sad that we're moving out of state and haven't found a company remotely like OCPC. 10/10 would recommend!! read more

If you want your dog to have the best experience while being cared for in a nurturing manner, then OC Pet Care is the place for you. Whenever I travel or just need a great mom for my doodle, I text Jilian and she comes through for me. Jilian takes the dogs hiking, to the beach, or park every day. They always have a great time and get lots of exercise. I'm confident Jilian truly loves our dog and cares for her as if she were her own. My only concern is that my dog loves going to OC Pet Care so much that she may prefer it to home:p read more

My husband and I have been searching for over a year to find a place to board our 12 year old pup, Katniss. Our girl is a Lab/Boxer mix, great temperament but some physical issues due to being hit by a car before we adopted her. During the pandemic she was not socialized for a while. Since she has some physical issues, she is better with smaller dogs even though she is about 70 pounds. We drove by Bark Collective and decided to stop in. Dan met us and was extremely cordial as we discussed our concerns about our pup. He recommended we bring her in for a half day. One of the things that impressed us was that dogs were not grouped by size temperament. When we went to pick Katniss up, Dan said she did great. She was calm, tail wagging and seemed to really enjoy her morning at Bark. We decided to go away for a few days. We received photos every day of our smiling girl! She was relaxing in the sun (one of her favorite things to do), smiling and comfortable. The daily pictures were such a blessing. Everyone at Bark Collective is kind and it's oblivious that they truly care about our precious pups. Thank you, Dan, Jillian and your amazing staff for taking such good care of our girl. We are looking forward to planning another vacation and bringing Katniss in for day visits. read more

This place is awesome!! You can tell how much love and thought went into this business right when you walk through the front door. Jillian, Dan and entire team really care about the dogs and their relationship with their clients. I am so relieved I never have to search for another place for our sweet Molly girl. Thank you Bark Collective. We love and appreciate you all!! read more

Jillian and Dan at Orange County Pet Care are the only company in Orange County we trust with our dog, Waffles. We were referred to Jillian by a friend when we were having major behavioral issues with our dog, Waffles. We had issues with herding and nipping. We couldn't even take her on walks because she would lunge at cars or bikes or anything that we passed by. We were hopeless on what to do. Through private training and boarding, Waffles is a much, much more well behaved dog and we are much better dog parents. It was simply amazing the change that we saw in our dog. They truly care about the success of the dog and the dog owners. Waffles now goes on pack walks with OCPC twice a week with their amazing dog walkers who are always so nice and welcoming when they come to pick her up and drop her off. Our dog is 100% different than what she first was before we started at OCPC and we are forever grateful! We don't know what we would do without Orange County Pet Care!! read more

I could not recommend Bark Collective more! We recently finished the 2 week Board and Train service for our two dogs, Nala (3 year old Shepherd mix) and Tito (2 year old Lab) and it was the best experience ever!! Abby is an amazing trainer - identified issues with both our dogs and gave us the tools to continue training once bringing the pups home. Nala and Tito are truly different (happier and healthier!) dogs and we can happily go on a walk without getting pulled the entire way or being nervous to pass by other pups. Abby and the entire team were super communicative throughout the entire process - we even received pictures every day! We'll continue going to Bark Collective for doggy daycare, boarding, and pack-walks! 11/10 recommend. read more

This place is amazing! My wife and I adopted a 7 month old Great Dane (Indie) who had never been socialized or trained and had never left her yard. Jillian is the best! She came to our place and did a training session with us; she basically showed us that we were doing everything wrong for the outcome we wanted and it made perfect sense. (Coddling her, letting her be in charge of the space, not setting boundaries or establishing ourselves as the leaders, etc) She showed us how to handle her, what products we should use, and came up with a full plan to socialize her and get her used to new people/places. In just two weeks of daycare (including pack walks) and one training session, she's already like a different dog. Can't recommend these guys highly enough. Whatever your needs are, give them a call. Especially if you are new dog / puppy owners and want to start off strong for your pup! read more

I was lucky enough to be an employee at Bark Collective for about a year and I fell in love with this business. Being an animal lover I was so excited to learn more about the needs, care, and training tricks for dogs. I was dog walking full time and got to bring my own pup on pack walks. The team truly makes you feel like family and the clients also show their appreciation of your hard work which always made me feel valued. The facility is absolutely stunning and kept well organized and cleaned daily, the dogs who board are staying in luxury! One of our duties as a dog walker was to keep our van clean every single day after use, which made the next day round of pick ups always feel like a fresh start. As much as I felt welcomed, loved, and appreciated , so did my wild husky mix who stole some hearts while I worked there. Mention the name Hurricane at your next visit, and you'll be sure to get a smile! WE LOVE BARK CO!! - Faith read more

I have been sending my dog Bentley with Ocpc for daycare for the last 5 years. I recently adopted my second dog Piper and she came riddled with issues. She was nervous and scared of everything. She got carsick every time I put her in the car. Jillian worked with me and Piper and she is now a new dog! She never gets car sick when she goes for daycare with her brother Bentley three days a week. Jillian trained me on how to use the gentle leader and to work through her nervousness issues. She is now a well rounded dog who loves people and dogs and everyone she comes in contact with. She's an amazing trainer! You can also tell Jillian's employees really care about the dogs- they are also trained to uphold the standards Jillian has. There is no better service out there!! Thank you Orange County Pet Care! read more
