Our cats did so well with Rachel, also known as the cat whisper, that we felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. We received pictures and updates daily, which was wonderful. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend them if you're looking for reasonable, reliable, dependable and quality pet care while you're away!

My husband and I were extremely pleased with Linda's Beginner Obedience classes. We enrolled our…read morerescue into the 7 week program and I truly think it has changed our bond with him. Linda has a lot of insight and years of experience with training and the level of confidence she has with these dogs is remarkable. Our rescue knew very little commands, was horrible on a leash, and would get so excited around dogs he would bark like crazy. After speaking with Linda and finishing the course, I can walk him by myself safely and he is no longer chasing after every animal and barking. She also takes time to speak with you each class if needed and allows you to make up a class if you already have a prior commitment during that time of day. My caution to people who decide to sign up is the effectiveness of the classes are entirely dependent on the owner. Linda will teach you everything you need to know each week as we progress but it is very evident the owners that do not take the time to train their dog at home. They end up not continuing because it requires the owner to enforce what they've learned and continue it at home. It does not happen overnight but I guarantee if you continue to work with them you will have the same success we have had with our dog!

Our dogs have always come back happy! Really enjoyed their time and affordable price.read more

Best petsitter anyone could ever ask for! Michelle, owner of Got2Petsit, has stayed with our 7,…read moreyes... I said 7, little dogs numerous times and she is absolutely amazing! Our dogs range in ages from 8 months old to 17 years old. Not only does she excel at keeping all of our littles well taken care of with care that's tailored to each of their individual needs, but she also works with training them, she sends us several daily reports with photos and videos, she's always available for us to get ahold of if needed, she gets our mail and packages, she keeps our house safe and clean, and the icing on the cake is that she spoils our babies with LOTS of love! Michelle has taken them out for adventures, car rides, walks, pup cups, the list could go on and on! Most recently our 17 year old shihpoo became sick with stomach issues while we were out of town and Michelle gave her genuine mother's love! She went to our vet to pick up prescriptions and administered medication. She had to do lots of cleaning and laundry due to the illness. We trust Michelle with all of our dogs care and everything in our home to the fullest ! We will never use anyone else! If it weren't for Michelle we wouldn't be able to take time away for a vacation. She puts our hearts and minds at ease to be able to enjoy ourselves worry free. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Got2Petsit!

To say that we take daycare and boarding for CJ, our golden retriever mix, seriously is a major…read moreunderstatement! We arrived in Louisville just over three years ago and we tried MANY other places around town. Some were ok, some I would never take her back to, but NONE of them compare to Barks on Bauer! The first time we met the owners, Lynda and Bill, we felt immediately at ease. It's just so obvious how much they love animals! Moreover, they actually live on the second floor of the building, meaning that there's always someone on site when we leave our girl there overnight. Their space is clean, modern, and the dogs clearly love it! CJ knows the route from our house to Barks and once it's clear that's where we're heading she actually starts squeaking with anticipation and can't wait to get in the door. If there's any question that she loves it, when we come to pick her up, she runs to greet us, but then runs back to say "goodbye" to Bill before we can leave! The location itself is very convenient and the on-site parking makes drop off and pick up a breeze. There's also a peace of mind that comes with knowing that there's an animal hospital adjacent to Barks and that the two businesses have a great relationship. When it comes to cost and convenience, we've never found a better place! We've had family emergencies arise and they have been able to take CJ for a few nights with very little notice, something we still deeply appreciate. Finally, I'd be remiss not to mention how much CJ loves daycare there! After being so excited to get there, she spends a day playing and then comes home absolutely exhausted. If it's true that a tired dog is a happy dog, then we have one happy girl on Barks days! Not only that, but it really takes her a couple days to recover completely from a day of daycare. Of course, I think she gets extra excited when someone has a birthday and they have a party. Yep, that's right, dog birthday parties at dog day care. And the pictures they post online are even better than you'd imagine! We have have only had wonderful experiences with Barks on Bauer and, if it isn't obvious, we take caring for CJ pretty seriously! I absolutely recommend Barks to any dog owner who's looking for socialization, a caring team, and a wonderful experience for their dog!

My puppy Winnie has been going to Barks in Bauer for a couple of years. She mainly goes to daycare…read morebut she's stayed the night several times for long weekends. I appreciate that Bill and Lynda are crazy-dog friendly. Winnie is an 85 pound lab and mastiff mix. She is every stereotypical thing you've heard about young labs. She's very sweet and friendly - but she's also a high energy vocal spazz. She's stayed at other facilities that were clearly annoyed by her rambunctious nature - so I always appreciate that Bill and Lynda seem happy when she visits. Bill and Lynda are also neurotic-owner friendly. They reply to my check-ins quickly. As time has went on I typically only check on her once a day (which is a significant decrease) - but that just goes hand in hand with trusting that they are caring for her. Anyone who has ever loved an animal knows that it can be difficult to leave them places - but that burden is eased when you feel like they are in capable and loving hands. Barks on Bauer also provides other services such as in-home pet sitting, dog walking, baths, nail trims, and birthday parties. If your dog needs medications, they're able to give them what they need. I love that they post pictures and videos of the dogs on Facebook so you can see them playing. They're literally right behind Chenoweth Animal Hospital - which is comforting to me to know they're so close in case anything happened. From one crazy dog mama to all the others reading this - try them out!

I've been bringing my cat here for grooming for two years, and unfortunately after what happened…read moretoday, I won't be returning. I was on my way to the appointment and realized I was going to be about 13 minutes late, so I let them know ahead of time out of courtesy. I was then told I would be charged a late fee. I completely understand businesses having policies and customers respecting appointment times. But after two years of coming here, I was disappointed by the complete lack of flexibility or understanding over 13 minutes especially when I gave them a heads-up. The whole interaction felt unnecessarily strict and cold, more like dealing with a hospital or military schedule than taking my cat in for grooming. I ended up turning around and taking my cat back home. After two years as a customer, it's unfortunate that a 13-minute delay and a $30 fee were handled in a way that cost them a longtime customer. Policies are policies, but customer service still matters.
