I call these guys the dog whisperers. Their love for animals show and they treat my dog like it's their own dog. My dog feels loved when he's with them and he looks forward to the next visit! I also know he will get plenty of time outside, as both Natalie and Andres are the most outdoor-loving people I know. I would highly recommend Barkhaus. Whenever I'm in town with my dog, I always rely on their services. Thank you Natalie and Andres! read more

Where do I start??? Natalie is FANTASTIC, patient, friendly, and punctual. When we decided to add a member to our family, after finding a breeder, we KNEW that we needed a trainer to help us transition from never having a pet, to being a patient and loving furry family. The day that we picked up Izzy from the breeder, we texted Natalie on the way home and she met us in less than an hour after introducing Izzy to her new home. Izzy's training began immediately, and I could tell that she adored Natalie and paid attention to EVERYTHING she said and did. We've since had additional training sessions and day outings. Izzy sees a HUGE benefit from every minute spent with Barkhaus. We will happily continue, and I would recommend them to anyone living in town. Super happy! read more

I have to preface my review by saying that I think its really strange to make a negative review because a business prefers to communicate via phone, or because they are unable to service your area. Your weird reviews make me feel obligated to leave a legit review from an actual customer. We found Barkhaus last year and use them as often as we can. We were thrilled when one of our neighbor dogs started attending Barkhaus outings too, now the neighbor doggies can go on field trips together! Natalie and Andres go out in the mornings (M-F) and pick up all the dogs. They then meet up for cool dog friendly hikes and the raddest photo seshes. Im serious, the photos you see on IG of your dog having a blast will make your day! I have friends who are not dog owners, who follow Barkhaus because their social media is totally awesome and completely heart warming. Seeing my dog chilling with all the homies brings me pure joy, and I know it makes his day. His favorite thing in the WORLD is hearing Natalie pull up. Natalie shames the dog whisperer, okay. She is pure canine magic. It's wonderful to watch. A quick google search will let you know, these folks are both highly educated and well versed in the canine world and Honolulu is lucky to have them. read more

Bummers! I was truly looking forward to having my pup attend their educational day care. I inquired and was immediately given information to enroll my pup. For a working professional, I wish I had more time to spend with the pup during the day but that's just not the case. That's why I turned to Bark Haus. I was told I could enroll my pup into the daycare starting at $50 a day. The price could increase based on his skill levels and how much time and work it'll Take to train him. Perfect. Pickup time is around 9-10a and drop off is around 3p. Ok! I emailed asking to confirm a date and the lack of response is ridiculous. Yes, the owner gave me her cell phone number in the email but personally, it's not my job to call and chase you around. The best part, they set a date for a Thursday and Wednesday morning at 430am I confirmed and asked for a time frame .. all day, no response. It wasn't until 9p at night (Wed) that they replied asking if they could add my pup to their Thursday route. So I emailed and voiced my opinion on the poor communication last night at 9:10p and at 7:30a today I got a response. Fastest reply I've ever received from them. It was a reply full of condescending sentences mentioning how my decision to not use their services will have my pup "ultimately loosing out in the end" . "I am sorry this is not a match for you on a personal level" Do you realize that dogs can't stay home and lock the house up on their own? They can't just stroll out the house at any given time and get ready for a walk! As a pet owner, you would think a dog service would take into consideration the busy day to day schedule of the owner. Also, I had filled out an application with my address and personal information. When information is released like that, it's a little sketchy to have a lack of response. I kindly asked them to discard my application and information. I wouldn't waste my time with this service. Unless you prefer talking or texting the owner. In order to get to that point tho, you may have to wait a bit for an email response with their contact info. read more

We were so fortunate to find Barkhaus back in 2017, when we moved back to Miami in 2015 we struggled going from doggie day care to doggie day care unable to find a good fit for our pup Mulder. At the time he was a high energy, 2 year old, blue heeler mix, with fear anxiety that would manifest through fear aggression towards other dogs. We couldn't even take him to dog parks anymore because he would attack other dogs. After one day of being with Natalie and Andres our pup was already a different dog. He quickly began walking better on his leash with us, obeying commands better, and he integrated flawlessly into their pack. Seeing pictures and Instagram posts of him playing with other dogs of all sizes would bring tears to my eyes. I could see he was finally feeling safe and happy. Barkhaus became his second home. We are eternally grateful to Andres and Natalie for caring and loving Mulder as their own and helping him be the dog we all knew he could be! They are true professionals and genuinely care about dogs, they did not turn away our pup when he arrived at their door with his "rap sheet" of bad experiences from other day cares. Mulder improved so much under their guidance and I would recommend them 1,000% to anyone looking for a safe, loving place, that truly gives your dog the attention, and mental and physical work out they deserve. read more

We have been leaving our two dogs, Mookie and Abu, in the care of Barkhaus for years, sometimes for weeks at a time. We could not have been happier with our experience. This is somewhere your dog will be as happy as he is at home while constructively socializing with all types of other dogs, in a closely monitored by two true professionals who LOVE their job. These dogs are in great hands and the service is well worth every penny! read more

Barkhaus - Dog Walkers Near Me

They have great references, but I can't seem to get in touch with them. I have emailed, I have called, I cannot leave voicemails, I don't get a response from the email. Can someone hit me back! I would love to use your services! read more

These guys are dog wizards. I have a GSD puppy who is still learning the ropes, and these guys have had a positive impact on her training. Not only does she learn how she's expected to act around other dogs, but also how to stay focused and listen around countless distractions. I've also hired Barkhaus for a private training session and found it to be money well-invested. They are only a text away if I ever have questions, need advice or want to get my dog on a walk. read more

A coworker recommended this place and I'm so grateful for that. They really know how to keep dogs entertained and active. I'm not sure what kind of magic they use to keep dogs still while they take pictures of them, but I LOVE the pictures they have taken of my little chihuahua. The fist time I brought Lupita to this place Natalie recommended me to change her food for a better quality one because I was given her the equivalent of McDonald's every day. She even emailed me links to different brands of food she recommends. If that's not caring for your dog then what is? They are also very responsive when you contact them and the payment process is very convenient and straight forward. I don't believe in dogs staying at luxurious hotels, that's just not in their nature. What they need is love, run around, play, eat when they have to, and rest. This place gives them that and more. Another coworker is bringing their dog here as well. They also love the place. read more

Barkhaus - Dog Walkers Near Me

My dog was scared of any other dogs probably because he got fixed and had a bit traumatic event before. He couldn't even be with any dogs and seeing that makes me so sad because he gotta play by himself or with us. I wanted him to chase other dogs around like he used to do. I was looking for someone who can help and found these people. It was the first time for him to be someone not us so I was worried so much but he did great for the first day! He couldn't be with any dogs but he walked with some dogs and even sitting with them! This might be a normal thing for all dogs but it's a huge improvement for him! And it happened in only one day!!! Definitely go back to them soon and see more improvements. They know dogs very well and know how to make the problems better. It's so worth it. read more

For my money Barkhaus is the best pet boarding/dog daycare in Miami. Unfortunately with a dog like ours (4 year old Portuguese Water Dog named Clive), we've had the privilege of trying out several dog daycares in Miami. He even got kicked out of one! While every dog is of course different and every situation unique, I will tell you why Barkhaus is the best for OUR dog. At the Haus, he gets structured activity and stimulation tailored to him and isn't just put in a giant room to go crazy all day. For some dogs I think that the romper room style facility is just fine, but I found with my dog (who is energetic, smart, and a bit headstrong), those types of facilities just made it so at the end of the day when I brought him home, I was dealing with a nervous, fidgety, and less disciplined dog. Over the years we have spent a ton of time and money training our dog, and it's frustrating picking him up from a day care where he puts his feet on the counter (which he's not allowed to do at home), or barking like crazy, or engaging in a bunch of other stuff he doesn't really get to do at home. Barkhaus of course lets the dogs run around and play and be dogs, but they do so in an environment that is stimulating and hierarchal. The dogs become part of a pack and they go for great long pack walks and your dog is given attention by the proprietors of the business (serious dog people) and not just folks staring at their phones until their shift is over. They develop a relationship with your dog and make sure the dog behaves in a constructive way and actually gets attention the dog needs. From my experience there has not been a better place to take Clive. We've taken Clive there for almost 3 years. He loves going to Barkhaus, and more importantly when I take him home Clive is relaxed, obedient, and better for it (mostly, I won't tell you about the time he ate the bedding when we boarded him that one time). I can't recommend Barkhaus enough. Hit them up. read more

Barkhaus keeps it reeeeeeaaaal professional! It's a classy joint that manages to also be completely warm and laid back. They seem to have a well-oiled system, as they responded almost immediately to my emails, and yes, I'm ashamed to say, there were many emails. Payments are submitted online which streamlines the whole process. They made sure the dog had the proper medical history, which made me feel safe leaving a puppy around other dogs, and were very accomodating both times I needed to extend the boarding period. I've seen both Andres and Natalie with the dogs and their love, patience, and passion for their business, really shines through. I was able to relax during my vacation because I knew she would be well cared for. They are clearly extremely knowledgeable when it comes to proper dog care, and their need for play. It was clear to me that she had a lot of fun while boarding at Barkhaus. read more

Barkhaus is hands down the BEST doggie daycare, boarding, training, and playtime you can get for your pup in Miami (and everywhere else!). My French bulldog Louie goes to daycare once a week and has also had multiple overnight sleepovers (boarding) at Barkhaus. He LOVES Andres and Natalie and basically jumps out of the car when he sees that we're approaching the Haus! They are the nicest, most caring, and attentive people and I trust them more than my family with my fur baby. I hope Andres and Natalie continue to bless us with their dog training and dog photography/instagram skills on Miami for many many years to come! read more

What an amazing place! The care and dedication they have is unprecedented. I've never felt so at ease about leaving my pride and joy with anyone until now. There is so much space for the dogs to run around and socialize. The qualified staff are patient, informant and true dog lovers. Not to mention the experience and training as well. A definite place to take your beloved pet for assurance of good care. The Instagram updates are a bonus on top of all else. read more

When I first adopted Ruby, I was extremely apprehensive about where to leave her while I worked my sometimes 16 hour shifts, and with an incredibly busy schedule, I was nervous that I may have made the wrong decision to adopt a dog at that time. Barkhaus alleviated my nervousness from day one. With dogs of all shapes and sizes, and a tired little girl at the end of the day who greeted me with kisses, I knew I'd be okay. I will say Natalie and Andres are very protective of their facility, and rightfully so. There is a huge liability when you're dealing with other people's fur babies, which makes me trust the way they run their business even more. This is a small business to get behind and have truly earned my loyalty. read more

My dog & I love the Barkhaus team! These folks are top notch, if your looking for a place that is educational this is your spot. Expect to have your dog come home tired (lol). The team may give you tips/suggestions when you pick up your doggy to better progress your dogs education/behavior. And they will know if your following through. (If your looking to join the pack) Please, understand it's just 2 people. They are not on there phones or on laptops as the dogs run around without instruction. (So phone calls aren't the best way for communication for them) There focus is on the dogs/cats/birds they watch. When my dog first joined I sent an email with my dogs vaccinations and what not. Then scheduled a "day" with the pack. Send an email and that should do! read more

When we left to a cruise for a week, it was a big headache to find someone to take care of our everything - a staffordshire bull terrier Bleau. After some research I found the Barkhaus and it was our best decision to make!! Being on a vacation everyone wonders how is his little sweetheart doing but Natalie was sending us videos and we got to see pictures posted online. It felt amazing to know he was having a blast and we truly got to enjoy our vacation thanks to Barkhaus. Bleau came home so happy and exhausted from playing all week, that he slept the whole day. :) We will be back soon and I can only recommend this place to everyone who loves their dogs! read more

I highly recommend Barkhaus and there Philosophy on dog sitting. Andres and Natalie treat your dog as there own while in there care. Weston our boxer knows when we are driving there for drop off and can hardly want to see the pack . I trust the judgement of Barkhaus. And I know Weston is learning , walking and having a blast . Another fun "Tidbit " is are the adorable photos they post through out the day. The sleep overs are as perfect as the doggy daycare . It's all GOOD. read more

I take my dog to Barkhaus not out of necessity (I work from home) but as a special treat. A day at Barkhaus is her favorite thing in the world. But why wouldn't it be? The place is like Disney World for dogs -- it's magical and the happiest place on earth! My dog is never happier than on the days she goes there. Only good things happen at Barkhaus. I would never leave my dog anywhere else -- much less when it's not out of necessity! I have nothing but respect and gratitude for Natalie, Andres, and what they do. (Plus the pictures are so much fun!!!) read more

I boarded Stella, our Bull Mastiff puppy at Barkhaus for 6 days while on vacation. When I picked her up I could immediately tell that she was very well cared for. It is clear that she received a lot of attention and love. It is obvious to me that the business owners have a deep understanding of dog behavior and more importantly, a great passion for what they do. It can be stressful when figuring out where to board your dog because a lot of business are mostly interested in making money and you can't be sure if they are in the right hands, this couldn't be farther from the truth when it comes to Barkhaus! It is clear that they have a genuine love for dogs and it shows in the way they take care of them. I also found their prices to be very reasonable. Kudos! And two thumbs up! read more

From first hand experience, Andres and Nathalie from Barkhaus are and have been amazing! We see the positive changes in our dogs personality and ability to play other and be part of a great pack! At Barkhaus, they care for the dogs as if they are their own pet. Plenty of love and care while providing a structured awesome environment. The location is bigger that some dog parks plus very safe and lots to do. you and your pet will love it! Ruben Coto read more

I found Andres and Natalie by chance and I am thrilled that I did. We needed a safe and fun place for our dog Ruby to stay while we enjoyed a family vacation and The Barkhaus was more than we expected. Andres sent me photos and updates while we were away and it was obvious that Ruby was having a blast staying with them. Their home is clean, well kept and is the perfect environment for any dogs' stay. It will definitely be her home away from home and I plan on using them again for our summer vacation. If you're considering a kennel - DON'T! The Barkhaus is awesome, you won't be disappointed and your furry friend will thank you. My only concern in sharing my praise for Andres and Natalie is that it won't be the best kept secret in dog care. read more

Can't say enough good/great/amazing things about Barkhaus. My dog has been going there since he was 10 weeks old and he loves it. As a former dog trainer I can tell you that Natalie and Andres work is the best in miami. We travel a lot, some times for more than 2 weeks and We don't have a care in the world knowing that Jax is with them. Don't leave your dog in those places where they are locked down or just turned loose to play without supervision or structure. Take them to the barkhaus, you won't regret it read more

Hands down,,this is the best place for your dog when you can't be with him/her and even if you can, your pup will love spending time at the Barkhaus. I'm so,grateful that we found this place after moving here from DC and to Andres and Natalie for giving individual love, attention, and discipline to each and every dog. These guys know their stuff and they live and breath it. Can't recommend them highly enough read more

Even before I adopted my dog I knew I wanted him to come to the Barkhaus for daycare when I have to work. He absolutely loves it there and gets so excited when we drive up! I always feel at ease knowing he's in great hands and gets plenty of play and exercise. read more

I highly recommend the services of Barkhaus. It is a perfect blend of intelligence and caring. Both Natalie and Andres are exceptional in their ability to care and train dogs. Our 12 year old resuce Pug - Curtis - is a special needs dog with hearing and vision issues. Barkhaus provided a caring and safe environement for him, and he always came home happy and obviously well cared for. They offered invaluable suggestions, including nutrition that improved the quality of his life. read more

Amazing dog boarding/sitting and amazing people. We try to take our dog Wallace, a french bulldog, to Barkhaus for doggie day care once a week because he has a great time and always comes back happy/tired. We have used Barkhaus to watch Wallace one weekend and he had an amazing time. They were so accommodating when our dog stayed there for the weekend and needed to be given his medication. They have a huge backyard for the dogs to play and also take the dogs on long walks every day. I highly recommend Barkhaus for anyone needing dog sitting or doggie day care in the Miami area. Check out their website and instagram @barkhaus to see some amazing pictures of what they do. read more

This people are great , I needed to go on a business trip and had to find accommodation for my dog while I was gone , it's so hard for me to to trust strangers with my dog but this guys where great from the first call to come check out the place till me picking up my dog. The only bad thing about this place now I think my dog wants me to go on another trip so he can stay barkhaus again read more

Worst pet care experience ever. If you love your dog and want respectful interaction don't come here. Firstly I tried calling and leaving messages with no reply for months. Finally they emailed to shove me into a first avail slot without asking when I needed or any other show of human interaction. when I asked about the program and care, pointing out they have pictures online where they takes a dozen dogs out and have them off leash in high traffic urban areas, they told us we're not the right fit. So if you want to have your dog running free in the streets with people who clearly don't want to be responsible, I guess this is for you. Let me say I'm no stranger to pet daycare. We love Dog Dude Ranch and every neighborly mom and pop service. We only tried this because it was so close to home and work. Take care of your pets and stay away. read more

Unreliable bad business owners. Had appointment to drop off my dogs for boarding with barkhaus. Owner emails me day before my trip that they can no longer accommodate my pets. And then wouldn't take my call. Had to cancel my trip. Thanks again barkhaus read more

I don't yelp so the fact that I am here is a testament to how happy I am with Barkhaus. I have never really left my dog with anyone except family and a few friends so I was a little concerned about leaving him with total strangers! An hour after dropping my dog I guess my fatherly instinct kicked in and I sent a text saying I missed him. They assured me he was having a great time and told me to check out their face book page where they had just posted a video of him. All of my concerns dissolved when I saw my pup having a great time in the park with the other dogs. He actually looked like he was smiling. I was sent pictures daily of him relaxing, watching the game with friends, and being pampered. I started to worry he might not want to come home!!! I highly recommend Barkhaus for your daycare and boarding needs. They are animal lovers through and through and trust worthy guardians. Thanks Guys!! read more

I'm so glad that I found this place! I initially picked Barkhaus because they emphasize obedience and structure for the dogs. I don't like my dog to roam free and misbehave. I take my dog here for boarding and daycare. Andre and Natalie are super responsive to email and text. They are very accommodating, especially when I ask last minute to drop my dog off. My dog is always super excited to go to Barkhaus and he comes home happy and exhausted from playing now all day. I highly recommend Barkhaus because they run a great business. read more

Nathalie and Andres are amazing!!!!!! They really are animal lovers!!!! The way they care for each dog it's very special. Since the moment I drop off my dog they received him very excited and they included him right away as a part of their family!!!! Great energy, very clean and awesome control of the pack!!!! They are really well experienced for this kind of job. I really trust them for the care of my two loved dogs, my amazing bearded dragon and even my little loved mouse!!!!!! Looking forward for training sessions for my crazy boston terrier ;-)))) The best of everything, THEY ARE KENNEL FREE!!!!!!!!! Dogs are NOT in cages!!!!!! And they are amazing doing pedicure too!!!!!! My husband, our son and I love them!!!!! read more

I had personal training and it has greatly improved my relationship and behavior of my little guy. Would absolutely recommend them! Wonderful people who genuinely care about your dogs wellbeing. read more

I don't have enough words to explain how amazing Natalie & Andres are at what they do. My American Bulldog Molly, whom is very high maintenance with high amounts of energy at all times stayed with Natalie & Andres for over a month due to personal circumstances - They catered to Molly's every need, kept her in a routine and looked after her so well. She absolutely loved her stay there, making new friends every day, bonding with all the other dogs, playing with their toys, daily games and their daily pack walks. Molly didn't want to leave she was having that much fun!!! If you need somewhere for your dog to stay whether it be short or long, Barkhaus is the place and Natalie & Andres are the go to people. They know and understand every dog is different and has different needs and their priority is to make sure everything is met to the highest possible standard. This isn't a job for them, it's a passion and an unconditional love for dogs!!! Thank you so much again Nat & Andres xoxo Jenna (Molly's mom) read more
