I have absolutely loved Bark Louisville! I take my dog Rye there for all of the services! She gets to the door and instantly knows where we are and is so excited! Another one of my favorites has been getting her groomed there. Doodle cuts are so niche and hard to find someone who does a good job but every time I have taken her I love her new cut! Highly recommend Bark Louisville!
My poor poodle Kyla was a matted mess after I got stuck out of town for 2 weeks and she wasn't brushed, bathed or groomed in my worst nightmare scenario. I thought she would be fully shaved and naked after taking her in for grooming, but when I saw her come out I was in shock by how beautiful she was! So much of her precious floof had been kept and she was prettier than ever! I normally do her haircuts myself but I never would've managed a job like that and I will definitely be bringing her back for big jobs.
My dog, Judge, absolutely loves Bark! Judge would always hide behind me when I took him to other boarding or daycare places. At Bark, he happily walks in and doesn’t look back at me. We use Bark for all their services! They provide the best daycare, grooming and boarding! Judge gets the cutest haircuts and they always give him a personalized bandana after each haircut. We love Bark!
We absolutely love this place. The staff is so friendly and fun. Our dog Reese jumps out of our car and straight into the building. Doesn’t even look back. The staff is attentive and you can tell they truly care. They also do fun optional parties. Can’t recommend this place enough. We were so happy we found it.
I recently had a disappointing experience with Bark Louisville, and I feel compelled to leave a negative review. This was the second time I had been quoted a certain price, only to be charged significantly more when I arrived to pick up my dog. In both occasions, they claimed that the initial quote was just a starting price and that the final price would depend on the difficulty of the groom. This felt like a bait-and-switch tactic and left me feeling extremely disappointed. During my first visit, I asked for a breed standard groom and cut for my Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, so I understood that such a cut could be a lot of work and paid the extra amount they charged me. However, during my most recent visit, I only asked for a simple grooming service to trim my dog's beard and face close to the skin. Despite being quoted a certain amount multiple times over the phone, checking their online price list which listed SCWT at the same amount quoted, and double-checking with the staff the morning I dropped off my dog, they still charged me a significantly higher amount at pick-up time. This extra amount didn't make any sense since it was only a simple grooming service with a #4 clip all over the body, with no long hair to style or brush on the legs, chest, or skirt. I had even made sure that my dog didn't have any knots or mats in her face before the groom, yet they still charged me significantly more than the quoted price. In addition, the quality of the cut left a lot to be desired, with lots of uneven lines on the body and face (see pictures). The grooming was not done to the standards that I expected, given the price that I paid. The simple grooming service I asked for was nothing out of the ordinary and should have been priced according to their online price list. As a customer, I expect transparency and honesty from any business I choose to work with, and I felt that Bark Louisville did not meet this basic standard. Overall, I am extremely dissatisfied with Bark Louisville's service, and their pricing practices felt misleading. I do not recommend their services to anyone.
Decided to try this place out as a groomer for my little man and I'm so glad that I did! Pre-visit: Bark has an online registration system where you can sign a waiver (make sure you both sign the document itself and ALSO click "sign document" on the dashboard or it'll forever think it's unsigned), fill out basic information and vaccine information about your pet, and request an appointment time. Note that online system lets you select a specific time but **regardless* of time, all dogs should be dropped off by 11am. They will call you when your pet is ready. Drop-off: The location is in downtown Louisville, but the curb directly outside the front door allows for quick parking. They'll greet you, check your dog in, and that's it! Took maybe two minutes. Pick-up: Was informed my pupper was done within a few hours (he only went in for teeth, nails, and glands) and was able to pick him up before the morning was over. He was happy, smelling fresh, and sporting a brand new, custom bandana they had thrown in for free! His nails and teeth were absolutely perfect and well taken care of. In short, Bark was professional, quick, friendly, and also very personable. They have won me over as a customer for life and I look forward to trying out their full grooming or boarding services.
These are wonderful people. My dog is a puppy mill rescue and was terrified to go in here for grooming because of all the loud noises. But the staff helped him feel comfortable and gave him love. They were patient and gentle with him. Even called me to make sure I knew he was doing okay. They opted to not trim his nails as he was stressed about it, and I really appreciated that the groomer used their judgment to not push him beyond his limits. He looks super handsome and was calm and comfortable when I picked him up showing no signs of distress. These people understand dogs and genuinely care about them. I would absolutely recommend them!
Wilson always has a blast when he attends Bark Louisville and comes home happy and satisfied. The staff are fantastic and often address Wilson by name when we arrive and always notify me if there are any issues. Also, I love being able to look for him on their webcams!
Having recently moved to Louisville with an extremely active dog and a busy job, I spent weeks researching daycare and boarding options in the city because leaving my dog at home wasn't an option. None of the doggy daycares in the city provided the level of care and thoroughness as Bark Louisville does. The facility itself is brand new and seems like it was actually thought up by a dog because of how perfect it is. The dogs are kept crate-free and have their own playground sorted by dog size with web cams throughout so you can see your dog any time of day. Below is my dog before and after daycare everyday, very few things keep him as entertained and active. My Siberian Husky is a very nice, very shy dog and immediately fell in love with the place and the staff who are all well trained and considerate of each dog's needs. Ana, the owner, treats each and every dog like they are her own to the point where my dog greets her with the same excitement that he greets me (I try to act like I'm not jealous). She has truly put her heart and soul into the business and it shows. If you're a healthcare worker at Norton or U of L this is the most ideal place in the city for you to take your dog since it is walking distance from the medical campus. It has the best combination of price, convenience, and quality in the city by far and trust me I've looked.
Sadie absolutely loves going to Bark Louisville. The are always a lot of other dogs to play with and they even have a playground that the dogs can play on. The staff there are super friendly and cooperative. Our favorite doggie daycare in town!
What a relief to be able to go out of town and have our fur babies loved on and cared for. She was responsible for 3 dogs and our 11 1/2 year old rabbit. She went above and beyond, including grooming the bunny. We loved getting updates and pictures. I highly recommend her services…and so do they!
KATIE SAVED OUR VACATION!!!! We had some last second changes with our plans and we found ourselves without a pet sitter while we were halfway across the country! We contacted Katie and told her without any notice whatsoever that we need a pet sitter for a week and she responded immediately! She never hesitated and asked when she could meet with the dogs. Thankfully we had a family member in town that day that could let her in the house to do a meet and greet. She met the dogs and accepted the job without hesitation!! 0 day notice to watch our 4 dogs for a whole week and she said yes!!! Thanks to her we got to enjoy our vacation and she kept us regularly updated every single day. She sent us photos of the dogs and gave us a bunch of info on how they were doing. She even fed our fish and watered out outdoor plants for us!! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Katie because she was absolutely amazing with the dogs and she saved our vacation! Thank you so much Katie and we will absolutely look to you for any future dog sitting needs.
Katie was amazing. Traveling can be so hard when you’re leaving your babies at home. Katie eased our worries every day with pictures and updates. It’s great to know our pets were so well taken care of while we were gone. We will continue to use them every time we travel!
Fantastic experience with Katie and her team at Coomer Pet Sitting. She took great care of our fur babies and checked in twice a day with updates and several pictures. We’ve never felt so relaxed and comfortable going out of town. We will use Coomer EVERY TIME we take a trip from now on. Highly recommend!
Katie was amazing with our babies! We have two very old small dogs, 1 pit bull that was in heat and cat with an attitude 😂 She came over the day before we left to do a meet and greet with them, and to get to know our routine. I was sent a text before she headed over to let me know she was going, and I also got picture updates. I could not recommend more. I was very comfortable on our trip knowing that our babies were in good hands! We will definitely be using this service again!
Highly recommend Katie, she was great! I always worry when leaving my animals in someone else's care, but she put us at ease. She provided updates and pictures at every visit, always arrived on time, and even charmed our cat (who doesn't like anyone)! They both got all the lovings all weekend long and I'm so thankful to find someone reliable we can trust with our fur babies ❤
We can not say enough great things about our experience!! We are pretty sure our overweight dog even lost some weight from all the fun play time he had with Katie. She communicated with us daily through texts and photos. Her rates are super reasonable. She goes above and beyond what you ask of her. We came home to brushed dogs who had been shedding and their water tower was even cleaned! Both we did not request of her. We recommend her to everyone we know who have pets.
I used Coomer Pet Sitting the week of Thanksgiving while I was out of state and it was great! Katie had me fill out a questionnaire ahead of time specifying my pets needs and likes. I received a text every day with a picture and an update to let me know how my kitties were doing. I have cameras throughout my home and I could hear them talking to my kitties and telling them they are loved. It was really sweet and top notch care. I will definitely use them again!
Highly recommend Coomer Per Sitting! Katie saved the day or week for me this week! I was in the process of trying to move, my son ended up in the hospital, everybody that I tried to call to board my dog was booked, and I didn’t know what I was going to do.. I remembered seeing a post about Coomer Pet Sitting and sent them a message! Katie responded quickly, came to my house same day to meet me and my dog, and started coming over every day to make sure my dog was well taken care of while I was gone. She sent messages with updates about my dog and even sent me pictures each day! Katie is such a kind hearted person and really loves the animals she has the chance to care after! ❤️ I will definitely be using Coomer Per Sitting for future needs with Chase!
Kim watched my two pups while I went on a weekend getaway and I couldn't have asked for a more caring person to watch them! She was so patient with my scared dog and took the time to gain her trust. Will definitely be using this service again!
Would HIGHLY recommend Paws Pet Care Southern Indiana. Our Bender is always so well taken care of. It can be a bit intimidating when trying to find quality care for your fur baby but when we found Carrie at Paws Southern Indiana, she made everything so easy. We have used hourly care and overnight care. The updates and pics she sends, always assures us that our boy is having the best time and ABSOLUTELY LOVES his babysitter aka Aunt Carrie. I give this business 5 PLUS stars!!!
I HIGHLY Recommend Paws Pet Care - Southern Indiana & Downtown Louisville!! INCREDIBLE care, Responsible, Loving, Great Communication! Carrie and her team have taken care of my very demanding and aging furry kiddos several long weekends. Recently I needed to leave town for NINE DAYS and I could not imagine being away from my fur kids for that long. I was very worried about the stress this long time away would place on the fur kids. WOW! WOW! WOW! Carrie and her team once again did not disappoint! The love, care and attention my fur kiddos received surpassed all other options available, and, surpassed all my expectations! Carrie’s picture and text summaries at each visit are novel worthy!! (Seriously, I told her she should write a book). She captured the essence of my fur kids perfectly and I was away guilt free. THANK YOU PAWS PET CARE!!! HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Paws Pet Care of Southern Indiana & Downtown Louisville gives the best care for my dogs, sometimes I think they like Carrie and her team more then they like me; from the smiles on their faces in the photos they send me at each visit. The team goes above and beyond every visit from refilling the water bowls, bringing in the mail or packages, mixing the food just right so my picky eater gets her meal. I recommend them to all my friends and hope you will give them a try!
Carrie did a wonderful job of taking care of Norm for an extended period. She walked and fed him, and I suspect gave him lots of love! I would highly recommend Paws and will be using them again.
We used Paws Pet Care for the first time a few weeks ago while we were on vacation. We had always been hesitant to leave our dog, Bruno, with someone besides our family as he is nervous/anxious around new people. Brittany was our sitter and she was absolutely fantastic! She always kept us updated on how Bruno was doing (and sending cute pictures!) and was great at making sure Bruno felt comfortable while we were away. Bruno even went to greet her at the door on her last day which was a huge step! I never had a doubt about Bruno being well taken care of which allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation! Carrie, the owner, has also been fantastic. She is extremely responsive and will make sure you feel comfortable and at ease with your pet's care! I will most definitely be using Paws Pet Care again and will be recommending them to anyone I know who needs a sitter.
Carrie gives us peace of mind every day with taking care of our puppies. She walks them plays with them and loves on them. They truly look forward to her visit our Dane does the happy dance!
We have used Paws Pet Care - So. Indiana & Downtown Louisville several times over the past two years -- if you live in downtown Louisville, this is THE service to call! Carrie responds right away to requests for service, she is always friendly, professional, and caring. We've had three different sitters (for different trips), all terrific. Our cat was completely in love with Amy, our last sitter! I love the way they text you every time they come and send pictures. Amy kept in touch about everything, and she did everything well, even swept up the litter trail and cat fluff from our very hairy kitty before we got home. It is reassuring to know that our kitty is in good hands whenever we go away. Their online system is efficient and reliable. We know we've got someone to call and they will be there for us.
Carrie is such a blessing to my fur family. I work long hours and some times my schedule changes last minute. I can always depend on Paws Pet Care to be there when I need help caring for my pets. They’ve never let me down. They’re reliable and the whole team loves animals and takes such good care of them. I highly recommend their services !
Carrie does an excellent job caring for our pets so that we can enjoy a vacation with no worries. I love that she really cares about their routines and well being. We get pictures and updates everyday (I swear my dog is smiling). She also takes care of watering plants and mail. She is a very trustworthy person and I would recommend her services to anyone needing a pet sitter!
I just can't say enough positive things about Paws in Southern Indiana. Their owner, Carrie, has been sitting for my babies for several years. I have three kitties that I adore and when I travel I like to feel that they're safe and cared for, especially if there is an emergency. She stops in and socializes with them, feeds them and cleans the cat boxes. Something that I absolutely love is that she sends daily pictures of each kitty which makes me rest easier when I'm away. I just don't know what I'd do without Paws Pet Care! Thank you, Carrie!!!
Patsy is amazing with our animals! We have dogs and cats and she's amazing with both! She makes sure to go above and beyond!
