We boarded our puppy for three weeks with The Bark Collective and the difference it has made is…read moretruly remarkable. After just one week, we came in for a training session and already noticed a significant improvement. We then went away for two more weeks, and every single day we received photos, videos, and detailed updates. The communication was exceptional! You can really feel the heart, love, and care they pour into every dog, and that makes all the difference. A special thank you to Casandra and AJ, who are incredible trainers so kind, thoughtful, and genuinely gifted at what they do. They gave our dog the most impactful framework and boundaries, and it's clear they pour their hearts into every animal in their care. That level of dedication is exactly what you want when deciding where to send your dog. We look forward to daycare, continued training, and group dog walks. We are forever grateful to The Bark Collective. We can't recommend them highly enough!

I love that I can drop them off knowing they're happy, safe, and getting plenty of attention. They get potty breaks, playtime, pets, and socialization every day. My French Bulldog is like a little vacuum and tends to pick things up off the ground, but the staff pays close attention to him. My English Bulldog thrives on routine, and Tiny Tails provides exactly that, she used to be timid, but daycare here has helped her socialize and become more confident. They always come home healthy and in a good mood. I truly trust this business with my fur babies and highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, attentive care!

She is reliable, caring and knowledgeable. She works to accommodate my schedule and shows up when she says she will. She gives me updates by text of how my pugs did on their walk and alerts me if she has any concerns about their health. She was also aware on our first meeting that pugs can overheat easily (due to their short noses) and made it a point to say that she would be careful with them on hot days. She came over before I ever used her services for a meet and greet to understand my needs and to meet my pugs. I believe she is expanding her services also to Huntington Beach soon. I definitely recommend her if you need pet care!

We too used to like them, but the last time we boarded my 93 year old mom's 15 (?) year old sweet…read morelittle rescue dog, he got out and was lost for an unknown period of time. It turned out that it wasn't that long, but anything could have happened - he was loose and could have been hit by a car, grabbed by a coyote, or picked up by someone not as kind as the people who found him. Imagine landing from a trip and turning on your phone to a message from a strange (but kind!) man with a Santa Barbara area code saying he had your dog that they'd found running scared in the street - my mom was hysterical. They tried to slough it off and when they knew how upset I was, both Kristen & her husband started using rather foul language - they were the ones who lost the dog! I also question if they are licensed to board dogs in a residential neighborhood. I was shocked to find out a day or so later they had asked my mom to pay the entire bill! Incredible nerve after putting her through that trauma. She paid it "as she was afraid they would sue her." I discussed with Kristen calmly and she agreed to reduce it by 50% and refund my mom the difference. Then she started trying to renegotiate and offered only 1 night off "per her business consultant." Kristen has tried to contact my mom repeatedly, including going to her home, after my mom has not responded and I have asked her not to several times, and this is definitely verging on elder abuse. My mom is so upset, she says she'll never travel or board him again. As of today, over 3 weeks later, still no refund to my mom for their incredible negligence. I also noticed, as Brian S. did, that other than my mom's review in Sept, before they lost Reggie and when we still liked & trusted them, all other reviews are very old and refer to the previous owners.

Brooke was an absolutely amazing pet sitter and we couldn't recommend her more. From the start, you…read morecould tell how much she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. Our dogs and cat loved her, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were with someone who treats them with that level of care and attention. One of our dogs takes a couple medications, and Brooke was incredibly responsible and precise about making sure everything was given correctly and on schedule. She followed all of our feeding routines and instructions carefully, and whenever something wasn't completely clear she reached out to ask questions and clarify instead of guessing. That level of communication meant a lot to us and really reassured us while we were away. She also kept us updated the whole time and sent the BEST pictures of our pets, which we looked forward to getting. It was so nice seeing how happy and relaxed they were while we were gone. I'll include some of the photos she took because they were honestly amazing. On top of that, she was extremely respectful of our home and took great care of everything while we were away. It's not easy trusting someone with both your pets and your house, but Brooke went above and beyond. We came home to happy animals and everything just as we left it. We would absolutely book her again! Genuinely wish there were more stars to give

I've been jumping around quite a bit with the people I pay to watch and walk my dogs on work days,…read moreand that's because I can't really seem to find anyone trust worthy enough. I've had some lie about the service they provide and not actually properly walk and care for my dogs, and others that aren't reliable in terms of schedule leaving me stranded with a job to attend and dogs to watch over all at the same time. Alexa was referred to me by a family member that uses her service and on a day that my usual dog caregiver couldn't make it because of another "family emergency", I decided to give her a call and try her out. To be honest I wasn't expecting much, I've been so disappointed with these services that I was made to think that they all just suck! But that feeling soon came to a definite change! Met with Alexa at my house in Newport (punctual: YES), I found her to be really sweet and genuine. Her energy levels were really high too and she reminded me of a track athlete with her fitness and physic. Her pricing is fair, around exactly what I've been paying so that was an easy transition, but what really stood out to me and really made me change my point of view of these services is the fact that Alexa provided me with LIVE UPDATES and the ROUTE taken along with VIDEOS and PICTURES!! Whattttt!!! Unreal bonus !! I was sold right away! Later on, came home and found everything to have been done perfectly with my dogs. Walked, fed and cared for. In conclusion, my experience was perfect. I'm so relieved to have found Alexa. Being honest, genuine and loving to my dogs goes along way with a customer like myself. Great work Alexa and keep it up!
