    The entire crew is fantastic! Compared to what I've paid before at other daycares, their 30 day package is a steal. They post stories of the dogs playing every single day on their Instagram stories, and will often post awesome action shots of my dog playing. It's great to be out for the day and get to see how much fun my dog is having online. You can also expect some adorable photo shoots, they gave my pup a ghost costume and sent me adorable Halloween photos! I also love that they have a full backyard. My way of knowing for certain how well my dog is taken care of is easy - her excitement every time we get near the daycare! When we're within a few blocks, she starts pulling on the leash. And when they open the door to bring her in, she spins in circles and her tail wags like crazy. It's her favorite place to go! Kevin and Chris have always been kind and have gone out of their way to make sure not only my dog is happy, but I'm happy too. They are constantly adding things to improve, and I always feel good leaving my pup with them for boarding or for just a play date. The best thing is that on your dog's birthday, they make them a "cake."

    In all honesty had I written this review two weeks ago my comments would have been very different. Truth be told I was extremely disappointed when I was told to take my business elsewhere by the General Manager. I had been taking my puppy to Hotel Bark for eight months now, I appreciated their extended hours and Sunday availability. My only concern was with the young gentlemen that worked at the hotel on the weekends. His temperament and demeanor was not very inviting and welcoming towards me. He would often have a look of disdain and annoyance every time I dropped of my pup. My puppy is a Shichon and so his temperament is very playful and friendly. I didn't mention anything at first as everyone can have a bad day or two. We are all human! As time went on I started to notice that my puppy would react much differently around this individual as well. So, one day I decided to mention my concerns to the General Manager, who I spoke with quite often. I made sure not to ask in an accusatory tone as it was just a personal feeling at first. So, I asked as a part of a conversation. He mentioned that the young man that worked weekends was a friend of him. He then went on to say that this individual "Realized that he liked dogs but he didn't love them" Which leads to my poor review of this establishment. This individual mentioned to me on more than one occasion that my puppy was very "Playful" & "Hyperactive" as if that were a bad thing. My puppy passed the temperament test, so I couldn't figure out why a playful pup would be an issue of any kind. It's a doggie daycare after all. *Perhaps for someone who didn't like- dogs that could be a problem, he clearly lacked patience when it came to my playful pup.* I began to grow concerned that he may be tying up my puppy when he was working. On more than one occasion I would drop him off for daycare on the weekends and he wouldn't appear on camera for hours. Most recently he wasn't on camera (stories) for seven hours. When I reached out to the worker to inquire about his absence during these seven hours he informed me that "They missed him while cleaning". Let me just reiterate the camera absence(stories) only happpend when this individual works! I then respectfully asked if he could try to record him more often, as it offered a level of comfort to have a visual of my fur baby. And here once again like clockwork in his reply- he makes mention of how "Playful" my puppy is here. I mean seriously what is this guy's deal with playful, loving puppies?! To my astonishment, I was told if I didn't like it to take my business elsewhere. I am just a concerned Pet Parent who loves her puppy very much. I only wanted to make sure that he was being loved like the rest of the puppies. The whole ordeal was extremley upsetting!. Its hard enough being a black woman in this country.I just learned that our pets have it just as hard! ugh@!

    I absolutely LOVE this place - but even more important - my dog LOVES this place. She has severe separation anxiety so I was REALLY nervous about bringing her there. After just one visit - when I brought her back - no stress at all - she pranced in with her tail wagging! She has an absolute ball. When I bring her home after a full day of play - she eats and is then knocked out for the night. I love that I can watch clips of her on Instagram during the day and the staff has been great. I love the work they're doing. Such a great service!

    I was so excited to take my puppy F. to this daycare. The five star reviews and backyard completely won me over. Unfortunately, during F's trial, he broke his leg. I was told it was because he jumped off of something and landed wrong. Since this happened within the first ten minutes of his trial, I firmly believe he should have been watched more closely as the daycare learned F's temperament and abilities (F has been to daycare before and has had no issues!). With that being said, they did work with their insurance and are covering 2500 dollars of the surgery. However, that is less than 50% of his total care, not to mention the time it takes to care for a puppy on restricted activity for over a month. I completely understand that accidents happen, but I do think it's important to know that this can happen to your pup if you take them here. I'd recommend taking your dog to a slightly more boring (but much safer) daycare instead. 6000 dollars and a two month recovery is quite the serious accident.

    Hotel Bark Ave took such exquisite care of my pup 6 month old Tacoma. Tacoma came from Alabama via the SPCA in Westchester. After two months he is still getting used to city sounds, people and other pups. The pics and videos on IG were amazing and the guys have the best captions for the doggies ridiculousness. My fiancé just picked up Tacoma and he was having so much fun he didn't want to leave Bark Ave Hotel. I consoled him by explaining that Hotel Bark Ave is like Peter Pan's land of the Lost boys. He had been hanging with friends, playing and living his best dog life. I love Hotel Bark Ave! They will keep your dog safe, happy and loved.

    I brought my aussie/corgi in for grooming, requesting a haircut styling him a corgi butt and an…read moreaussie head. The haircut was perfect and my dog now looks and smells SO GOOD. Unfortunately, because my dog has trauma from having had his dewclaws removed (I didn't do it to him - he's a rescue) he would not allow the groomer to clip his toenails. They asked us to come in and help but our dog was just so stressed out at that point that we couldn't touch his paws without him going into a panic. This is unfortunate because the main reason I was paying a groomer was to get help with clipping his claws. I just can't do it myself. I guess next time we can try giving him some anti-anxiety medication and see if that works. The groomer did take a little off the price because of not being able to cut his nails. I would recommend this groomer to anyone who has a well-behaved dog who is amenable to being groomed. I would not recommend them if you have an anxious or fearful dog. The haircut itself was really perfect and beautiful. I will probably try another groomer just because I need my dog's claws cut short, but if my dog was better behaved I would go back to this place because they give good haircuts.

    Dog owners beware if you want to support a business that will help ALL dogs, pretty funny if you…read moreconsider the name of this institution (the girls who get it, get it, the girls who don't, don't). According to their online description, they may charge extra for "aggressive breeds," and would provide an "assessment" to determine if they can help board them. Well I can tell you that an assessment is a straight up dog breed discrimination. Just mentioning that you would need to house your sweet, friendly pitties and they immediately drop you like a hot potato. No "assessment" provided whatsoever. Just mentioned that the dogs are pit bulls and was given an immediate no. Didn't even see or meet the dogs. Highly unprofessional and irresponsible. Why put up a note that they would seemingly provide service for all kinds of dogs when they clearly don't? Also a quick cursory scroll of the 5star reviews show that they skew towards smaller, "cute" dogs. Further evidence that they are falsely advertising their services. If you can only handle small dogs, please just make that clear so that nobody can waste their time here again. In conclusion: Parents of pitties beware of this place!! And other pet parents-- please make an effort to support pet daycares that will provide service to all dogs, especially if they have done nothing wrong, and have always been good dogs. Will be telling all my dog parents to stay away from this place. See also attached the goodest beans that are looking for quality daycare services that this place clearly does not provide.

He had a great time each time he went and although there were a few small incidents where he has been slightly injured, this was just due to him running around and potentially sliding into trees or branches like the silly goober he is. These were promptly reported and they made sure to keep the cuts and bruises well attended to. I thoroughly enjoy seeing the dog romps that Will posts to their Instagram page as well as the photo updates that are shared. The new tagging system that uses AI to automatically find Leo's photos within the daily photo sets is super convenient as well. The van service has been a godsend, especially for me as a non-car owner in New York City. And pickup and drop off is always very seamless. I continue to be a customer and Leo continues to be a client at Glencadia and I look forward to using them again in the future!

Our dog came home with a cut on his nose, filthy, and completely lethargic -- he wouldn't eat or move the next day. We rushed him to an emergency vet and discovered he had a serious skin infection and a fever. He is now on two weeks of antibiotics and has to wear a cone of shame. Total cost to us: $1,500 in emergency vet bills on top of the $900 we already paid them. When we contacted Glencadia, they refused to reimburse us or even have a real conversation about what happened. Their response was essentially: "you signed a disclaimer, sue us." They never emailed or called us to let us know our dog was injured or unwell during his stay. The photos they posted of him during the trip appeared deliberately framed to hide any signs of his condition. This is what you're signing up for. Protect your pet and go elsewhere.
