We have gone to Pet School and Hotel for 30 years and have always loved them, and they have always…read moreloved our dogs. But our last visit was a huge disappointment. I am not sure if Mary or Ruth are no longer involved, and if so, that may explain it. We picked up our dog and she was clearly very ill. She was limp and lifeless in the car. We went straight to the vet. She had a 104.5 fever and ended up spending the week at the vet. I called to ask how they could not have noticed she was so ill. I got a note of apology, which I appreciated, but they really missed this one. We have since moved to another kennel.

When my dog became paralyzed in July, our previous groomer at the Humane Society Eastpoint nearly…read moredoubled our price... I was never totally happy there anyways so I did some research and found the Pet School & Hotel. I swear I don't trust anyone else to groom my special needs dog. It is a small business which I love, it truly reminds me of home. The staff and owner are always so kind and they treat Charlie like they've known him forever. The groomer always does exactly what I ask and Charlie comes home with a cute seasonal bandanna. The small detail really means a lot to me. The prices are also incredibly affordable... I would recommend this business to anyone in Louisville. I am about to move to a different area of town and I will gladly still make the drive to this place.

Great place! First time customer. We had several neighbors recommend See Spot for grooming, so I…read morestopped by this morning to check out the shop. The receptionist was very nice and I was thrilled to be able to schedule a same day appointment with Ashley, their groomer. Dropped my pup off at 10:00am. I met with Ashley and we talked about the cut I wanted. She was sweet and seemed very attentive and qualified. They called to say my pup was ready by 2:00. His cut was beautifully smooth and short just as I'd discussed with Ashley. His nails were trimmed and gently rounded and he was pretty and clean. Most importantly, he was HAPPY as they led him to the lobby! Compared to other groomers we've used, See Spot's prices were comparable and the service was superior. I do not find the receipt "add tip" line offensive, in fact, I find it much easier to add a tip to my credit card receipt rather than coming up with cash. The dogs in the daycare seemed very happy and well cared for, as was was my sweet pup when I picked him up! OverallI, I am very impressed with my puppy's and will be back!

We used to take our precious baby to Niki. She loved Niki. Then Niki left See Spot. That's when…read morethings got bad. Took our dog in for a grooming, nail trim, teeth cleaning. Upon picking her up, her tail looked like a pencil and she was cut a lot shorter than what we asked for. It was still cold out, so we wanted a little length left with her hair. We decided to give them another chance when they called and said they had openings if we wanted to bring her in. We gave them the benefit of the doubt and brought our baby in. To my surprise, I practically had to drag her inside and she would not leave from behind me. The groomer reached down to pet her and she ran to the other side of me (still behind me the whole time). That was enough for me, we left and will never go back.

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!
