BARK ORLANDO IS TOP KNOTCH. I literally would not trust my fur children anywhere else! Kierstin goes above and beyond in every aspect of Bark Orlando including picking the BEST staff, curating the best treats/toys and always having fun little surprises for our little guys. Our pups favorite word is “CAMP”…it’s ridiculous how nuts they go when I say that word. We also look forward to reading their report cards!! Thanks, Bark Orlando for all you do!!!!!

Bark Orlando is FANTASTIC! Our pup Bonnie is so excited to get there and play with her friends, especially on water play day (her favorite). The staff is wonderful and seeing her on their Instagram posts the day she’s there is a bonus.

We have been taking our pup, Freckles, to Bark Orlando for a little over 2 months now. She goes 2-3 times a week. When we pull into the parking lot I have to physically stop her from jumping out of the car because she is so excited to be there.The staff knows her and welcomes her every morning. When she leaves, she gets pets from the staff and they are sad to see her go. They treat Freckles very well and she comes home tired.They are very good about posting the dogs on social media throughout the day so we can check up on them and will respond to you if you ask for an extra picture or 2 throughout the day.The front desk will not hustle you out of your money either. Their pricing is very straight forward and reasonable. The packages are a must do as they do save you a few extra bucks per day.They offer baths and nail trims which we have taken advantage of as well.We would recommend Bark Orlando 110% to anyone who asks and we think Freckles would to!***Please note the many photos taken of Freckles after a day at Bark Orlando.***

Veryyy happy with Bark Orlando and the team.I was nervous at first bc my pup (1y) is verryy timid, shy and can be aggresive with dogs, esp big dogs. First time coming after reading good reviews, I was happy and at ease because Rachel explained to me how things works and was very through with my concerns.They accepted my very nervous pup and told me to bring her once a week and see how she does. And asure me if they see her stressing out, panting, depressed, they will let me know and tell me if it’s probably better for the pup to not go to day care…It’s been 3months since I bring my pup and I am very happy that every time I bring her, they have a little report card and also tell me in person how she does. She started to be more comfortable around other dogs and started to play (vs day one just sitting on top of the chair all day). They also tell me that she’s like an angel, never aggresive and rough with other dogs😄They also started to have movie day which I think is really cute.Though they don’t have camera in the premise, they posted bits and pieces on their instagram.Overall, I am very happy and I think the team are professional and always nice and happy and welcoming. Will keep coming back!

Used to love Bark when they had knowledgeable and experienced staff. Now, there are new staff members every other month watching and interacting with the dogs. The turnover is extremely high, and these teenagers have no clue how to interact with the dogs properly. They don’t share what they do in the back or have cameras for a reason.

Bark Orlando has been the best investment for our fur baby! She suffered from extreme separation anxiety and after a few weeks at Bark Orlando, she doesn’t even look back at us when we drop her off! She is so excited everyday to to see her friends and is exhausted when she comes home! It has been a wonderful experience!! We also love that they post pictures and videos of the dogs all day!

Love Bark and all their employees, you can tell they really love animals and treat our babies like their own. My heart is full when Brinkley races to the door to start another fun day with his friends! Happy holidays and thanks for all your dedication!

WE (Dory and I) love bark Orlando! I was scared to bring my Great Dane anywhere but knew it was super important to socialize her as young as I could! Kirsten and her staff have made Dory’s experience nothing less than amazing! Dory also gets training on Saturdays with Adalynn and I have noticed a tremendous change in her confidence! After a long day at work, I pick up Dory and she is exhausted! So I know she had a super playful eventful day! I am so glad I brought her here, Kevin is super amazing, and Dory is literally obsessed with Kevin!! The interaction those two have when I see them makes me feel reassured she is always in good hands and that Bark Orlando is the best daycare I could’ve chosen for her!

I absolutely love Bark Orlando. Before I found them I only left my pup with friends and family. They are by far one of the best places for boarding and dog daycare. The staff are so kind and understanding, they always keep you updated with what’s going on with your pup, and they have been super accommodating and flexible. My dog always comes home nice and tired from his days playing there. Highly recommend Bark Orlando.

My dog was traumatized by day care here. He was mounted in front of the whole group and had continued issues with the same dog after this. They decided these issues were not able to be worked thru and we were asked not to come back. They did not refund any of the daycare I had already paid for. At his new daycare they noted how anxious he became whenever dogs were in a position where they could potentially mount him.Since attending daycare here he no longer functions well in large group situations. Thankfully his new daycare is far more accommodating and is able to meet his needs.My problems with this place1. Created trauma in my dog and showed no concern over it.2. Kicked us out and didn’t refund me despite my dog being the victim.3. Gave very few details about any of the issues (I had to pry to get things out of them)Overall I would be careful with this facility. There are better options.

Can’t say enough great things about this place! My 5 month old puppy had a blast being boarded for a long weekend. It was his first time being away from me for more than a day and he did so well. The staff is so friendly and professional, and they sent photos and videos to me to ease my mind. They also post on their Instagram story so you can see your pup playing throughout the day. I’ve already recommended them to my other dog owning friends and will for sure bring Barney back here the next time I’m going out of town. He was completely exhausted when I brought him home 😅😅

We LOVE Bark Orlando! I’ve been taking Mumford to Bark Orlando for just about his whole life (2 years) and he still gets just as excited as his first day when we check in. We’ve utilized their day camp and dog training services and I highly recommend both. The whole staff is kind, trustworthy, and caring. Mumford is a little weirdo and they love and care for his quirks just as much as I do! They also produce top tier Instagram and TikTok content that brings a smile to my face every day!

Kiersten and the Bark team are awesome. Our puppy, Biscuit goes to camp frequently and has boarded with them as well. She's always incredibly happy to be there and comes home pooped. The employees are very kind, professional, and attentive to the dogs. Biscuit is always in good hands when she's at Bark. I'd highly recommend them.

Sugar absolutely loves Bark!! I cannot say enough about the care that the owner Kierstin and her staff take to ensure that all dogs are so well taken care of. We started with Bark when Sugar was just a tiny pup at the old location on Orange Ave and now drive to the new location.Sugar goes crazy when we pull in the lot. She runs in like she owns the place. I never have any worries during the day about her care and when she comes home she's revved up but tired from a great day of play!!I'm so proud of the great small business that Kierstin has built and the great care she takes of all of the dogs. Fantastic business!

I’ve been taking my pup Harvey there 2x a week since May. He has so much fun and is always happy and tired when he comes home. The employees are kind, friendly and wonderful. They also make adorable “barkuterie” plates as well. They are super cute and include your dogs name spelled out in slices of cheese.

The funny thing about reviewing this type of business is that it's the dogs who should be leaving the feedback. Instead, we owners have to make an assessment of the business based on what our dogs tell us.Here's what I believe my dog was telling me:That place was awesome! I made a bunch of new friends and our servants were very attentive to us. No, I will not jump up into the back of the SUV. I played so much today that you are going to have to find a way to get all 85 lbs of me into your vehicle. Or just leave me here. I don't want to leave!

I first discovered Bark Orlando when I was looking for training for Sadie - after two other attempts and fails with other trainers, I met Kierstin! Sadie is a mutt, I believe a lab/terrier/shepherd with a hint of pitt, and suffered from severe fear aggression. It showed up, seemingly, everywhere! She would be aggressive to new people coming to our house, to dogs, and to people; it was hard to take her anywhere. On top of that, Sadie HATED walks. What kind of dog hates walks? Weirdo! Was what I thought. Luckily, I was connected with Kierstin Benitez at Bark Orlando and she helped Sadie overcome her fears and even start walking! Now, some of you may think getting a dog to walk is an easy feat, but let me tell you, my Sadie is a stubborn pup. The first attempt at walking, Sadie wouldnt even leave the house! Now, after 3 months of training, Sadie goes on walks with great ease and actually is starting to look forward to them! Her fear aggression as well is doing much better. Sadie is fierce when it comes to men, especially the bearded ones! Now, she can meet and greet men with little to no upset and is 100 % kind to other dogs. Kierstin is a natural with dogs! She only practices positive reinforcement training and most of all Sadie loves her. With the help of Kierstin, Sadie and I now enjoy walks around the lake, going to the dog park, and the occasional visit to a restaurant. Bark Orlando also offers to take care of dogs, which is super important for me, knowing Sadie is safe, having fun, and loving life while I travel. Orlando is known for its storms and Sadie has a huge fear of stromy weather. But, with the help of Bark Orlando boarding, Sadie no longer has to run and hide under a bed no where to be found. She is still nervous, but she stays out and lays near you. Needless to say, I would recommend Bark Orlando to ANYONE and EVERYONE. I can think of no person I would trust more with my dog than Kierstin Benitez and Bark Orlando. If you need a place, walk, or trainer for your pup, and you want someone you can trust, Bark Orlando is the place! Heres Sadie after a walk, watching people walk by with no problem! Thanks Bark Orlando :)

We have tried many doggy day cares in the area, and this by far and away the best. We had to wait a few months to get in, but it was so worth it. Our pup is always so excited to go in the morning, and he’s perfectly content when we pick him up. The staff is super friendly, and being able to book far in advance is such a huge bonus and relief. We love that we can buy a package that doesn’t expire for 2 years and use it when needed.

I love this place and so does my dog. He always has a great time, I enjoy the pictures and the report card during his stay. He's always worn out after and had a fun time playing and socializing.

Keith loves going to Bark! Every time we pull up to the building he is ready to jump out of the car and go straight in and play with his friends. I can tell that he appreciates playing all day because he is pooped when I get him home. Which is a pleasant surprise because my little man is high energy 24/7. The staff is always friendly and helpful, you can tell they really care about what they do. I wish I could bring Keith more but my crazy work schedule doesn't allow it.

We love Bark Orlando! Our pup has been going since she was 5 months old. The fact that the staff is so well trained and are actually trainers as well gives me peace of mind leaving her there. The price is definitely worth the level of care and fun my dog gets by visiting camp! She always gets so excited and enjoys spending time with her friends. I always recommend Bark for anyone looking for a doggy day camp. So excited for their second location to open!!

They're the best! They take great care of the dogs and always know what you need. Their dog training services are worth every penny.Now they've added boarding and it's just as convenient as day camps.

I can’t say enough about Bark Orlando. I know when I drop off my pups that they will be loved and cared for like they’re their own. The amazing team has given my rescue Great Dane a new sense of confidence and my French Bulldog a much needed energy outlet.

Bark Orlando is the best Dog daycare company in Orlando ! I have been to a few other places in the past and they do not even compare to Bark Orlando! Their love and care for every dog is unmatched! They’re super nice and responsive and it is a treat to watch all the happy pups on their Instagram Stories. My pup Grouper loves it there and so do I!

The place dogs camp in Orlando by far. Our puppy is also so happy to arrive and so exhausted after a day of fun and play. The staff is super friendly as well and the venue is kept really clean.

We go to Bark for boarding but we also went for training. The training program was SO helpful for our skittish dog. She has gotten so much more confident and we have learned the most effective ways to communicate with her! When we take her to boarding, we get prompt updates on our pup and always know she is in great hands! And shoutout to Miles who went above and beyond for us this weekend! This company cares about their clients (and our fur babies) and it shows!

We have been at Bark Orlando for almost 3 years and what I love the most about this company is their knowledge about dogs and the clean and friendly environment. I know my dog is safe and she is always having a good time. She comes home so tired and happy every time!Thank you for everything Bark Orlando you have earned my trust!

We were new to the doggy day care game that didn’t involve grooming days (they now have baths and upkeep grooming/hair out of eyes) Bark Orlando is close to our house and our dogs love going, as soon as we pull in the girls go crazy.The individuals who work there are kind and the owner Kirsten is always wonderful.Bark Orlando has a great selection of toys, treats, and food for your pups. They are community centered, with pop ups, working with shelters in the area, and even the Zebra Collation.

Our dog Marvel loves Bark Orlando! He gets so excited when we say the name out loud. The staff has been so welcoming and attentive. We love getting photos of Marvel playing throughout the day.

Kierstin and the Bark Orlando team are amazing. I always love bringing my Billie Bean there and she comes home exhausted every time. I especially love that I can have her groomed there all nice and clean for pickup! Definitely recommend this spot!
