The Barker Lounge

We started taking our Bodhi to BL when he was a puppy 5 years ago and won't go anywhere else! Our Bodhi is a nervous boy with separation anxiety; but loves TBL!! Gabe! Gabe, Caitlyn and Gabi always go above and beyond for each fur baby that is there for the day or for a wee stay. We can go out of town knowing there will be love, affection and plenty of attention for Bo even if he causes trouble. The groomer is also wonderful! Thank you to all TBL staff for everything you do for our family.

Love the staff at Barker Lounge Charlotte. Facilities are clean, vaccinations are enforced and number of dogs per staff are limited, ensuring a safe environment. Online reservation system is easy to use. My only complaint is that I wish it were larger, when they are fully booked!

We knew of The Barker Lounge for some time, as it’s just down the street from our office. We first chose to try them on a recommendation from our dog trainer, Robin Lincoln, as she spoke very highly of them. Our 2yo Treeing Walker Coonhound a COVID rescue needed a lot more exercise than we could give him until our fence was installed. Even since then however, we keep taking him 2 days/week for the socialization & exercise. He’s so excited to go every time, and when we bring him home afterwards, he’s exhausted and happy. On those days, he typically crashes for the night by 6:30-7pm instead of 8:30-9, as in the 2nd attached photo. We also started taking Hershey there for boarding while we’re on vacation, as he gets so much more exercise and play time than at his previous boarding. Now we need to see if our little Maltese, Molly, also enjoys day care & boarding there.

Such a great place to leave your pets. They always take great care of our dogs and they come home exhausted. They take the time to get to know the personality of the dogs and put them in the group that is the best fit for them. All of the staff are friendly and professional. Highly recommend.

The staff at BL is always so kind and you can tell they love the dogs. I have a nervous pup and she never comes home distressed, so I know they treat her well!

Beware Do not go here for grooming horrible job….ears uneven…chin and jaw longer on one side shorter on the other….charged 80 dollars for this.

Love the atmosphere and the staff here! Zuko had a great time & passed the nice dog exam pretty quickly! They offered Santa photos this year and sadly zuko missed it! Love the idea of photos like that!

They take amazing care of our 2 dogs and we could not be more grateful for their staff!!! Overall a great place for both doggie daycare and boarding!
