Bark Resort has been great for us. We first used them two years ago when we needed last‑minute boarding, and they were able to take our dog right away. Since then, they've always been able to accommodate us, and I love adding the extra bath -- he comes out so clean and happy every time. Reliable, friendly, and consistent. Highly recommend. read more

This place is really good, been taking my dog here for about 3 years now. The staff are really friendly and very nice to the dogs. The owner is a really nice guy too. I would recommend to bring your dog they do a very good job at keeping up with everything to. read more

Love this place! We've been bringing our Duke here for daycare and boarding for about a year now and couldn't be more grateful for them. Our pup has SO much energy and it's so nice to send him somewhere where he can play with friends and get much appreciated attention from the staff too (: They are quick to respond when we text for updates & they will send us updates/pictures occasionally without us even asking. They don't give up on our picky boy when he tries to refuse to eat & somehow they always get the best pics of him! read more

You can tell when a place and staff love what they do. Bijan and team (shout out to Jason, Rose, and Sergio!) keep the dogs happy. Very reasonable rates and they are super flexible even with last minute bookings. Wouldn't take the doggies anywhere else! read more

Just picked up our small dog from a 4 night stay. Will gave him a bath and groomed him so nicely. Jason is always so friendly and assisted us with check out. Our dog has been there several times and he always just walks in without any hesitation which leaves us comfortable that he enjoys his time there. Thank you Barking Lodge! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. After a last-minute emergency situation picking my puppy up from another pet hotel, he was given back to me smelling horrendously like pee--and we were driving back to Arizona the same day, so we needed help ASAP. I called Barking Lodge Pet Resort to ask about pricing for a quick emergency wash, and Wil got my puppy in within minutes of making the call. All they needed were his immunizations, which I had and was able to forward right away. When I arrived, they took us in immediately. Everyone was incredibly friendly, professional, and reassuring, and they walked me through the entire process. We waited outside while they bathed and dried him, and the whole thing was done in about 20 minutes. My puppy came out smelling so clean and fresh, and most importantly, he was genuinely happy--which says everything. Wil was amazing to work with, and I am so grateful I found this place when I needed it most. read more

My dogs have come here for 8+years. They are well taken care of. I do NOT use PetSmart because my prior dogs were placed with super small dogs in a very small dog area (because my prior dogs were very friendly and chill). My current dogs are very happy at this cage free dog day care . They're also really clean after their exit baths. Prices are reasonable for a cage, free dog daycare and boarding and exit baths. read more

We've been taking our dogs to the Barking Lodge for a few years now and really appreciate the comfort of knowing that our 4-legged friends are being well cared for when they can't join us on a trip. The staff at Barking Lodge really cares about the animals entrusted to them. I specifically appreciate Wil, Jason Rose and Sergio for taking care of Ranger and Shadow with kindness and compassion. We'll continue taking them to this location and gladly endorse their service. read more

I, Portia, had the BEST week ever at the Barking Lodge! I played soooo much with my friends Gemma and Prince, and I honestly didn't even have time to miss home because there was always something fun going on. When I didn't feel like eating as a diva does, the humans knelt with me and made sure I felt comfortable enough to nibble. That made me feel safe and special. My humans also got daily videos, which I heard made them feel a lot better because they could see I was happy and being looked after. It really helped them relax while I was away. This review was lovingly ghostwritten by Natalie S. and Brooke S. on my behalf--because I'm a dog. read more

There is a person that works there named Rose and my dog just loves her! He doesn't like everyone so it's nice to know he is happy when she is there! read more

They always do a great job taking care of my dog Zilla even if all she does is yell at them! Wil was especially helpful making sure she felt comfortable and keeping me updated with how she was doing! read more

Came in last minute on a Sunday morning to get our dog a long overdue professional grooming and they were so nice! Did a great job and fairly priced, only took about an hour for a medium size dog. read more

We had such a great first experience at The Barking Lodge! I was nervous leaving Bailey for the first time, but Wil and the afternoon staff were friendly and comforting. They gave me updates throughout the day, which really gave me peace of mind. Bailey had a very successful first day and came home happy and tired. She'll definitely be going back soon! read more

PHENOMENAL PET RESORT. Best price in Orange County. Exceptional service. Sergio sent me several pictures every day of my dog. And genuinely took care of her. He is easily my favorite caretaker. I always feel really confident dropping my dog off with Barking lodge. The owner Bijan really cares about animals and is super friendly. He offered me a super fair rate since my dog was with them for two and a half weeks. Highly recommended. Would not take my dog anywhere else. Thanks again Barking lodge! read more

I've been going to the Barking Lodge now for a few months. This is a family owned business, and the whole family truly loves animals and takes care of my babies as if they were their own. Maryam is one of the nicest people I have ever met, and Niloo has a bunch of connections in the resue world, so if you are looking for a specific try of dog. Please contact her, and she can help you find your perfect purr baby! The Barking Lodge sends me pictures and videos throughout the day every time they are there. Such a beautiful, thoughtful gesture. I can not say enough good things about The Barking Lodge and encourage you to try them if you need to board or just need the pets to get out to play and socialize with others. read more

We have been bringing my rescue here for over a year. We have a rescue dog, Louie, who is very sensitive and nervous. We suspect he was abused so finding a good doggy day care and boarding was difficult. Initially we brought him for short doggy day care to see how he would react. I explained on our initial drop off that he was a rescue, new to us (we had only had him a few months), and he had not finished any training. After a nervous five hours I picked Louie up. He was dirty which was expected but not so dirty I would think neglect. He was excited to go home and tired from playing with other dogs. I was given a short report about his stay. Since he was a rescue and nervous, they kept him in a separate "yard" with older or gentle dogs. Several day care visits, Louie seemed to enjoy his time at Barking Lodge. He was also getting more obedient so I have a feeling someone must be working with him as well. I asked them to bath Louie but I received a text saying he was too nervous and anxious so they didn't feel comfortable forcing him which I appreciated. After two months of day care we finally did a boarding stay. It went wonderfully. They would send updates and if they didn't I would text for updates. On one stay they noticed his eye was weeping and he was winking so they texted and sent pictures. On another stay, we got snowed in during a blizzard and unable to pick up Louie until three days after his "reservation". They were very accommodating and gave him their "house" food when his ran out. Recently, depending on who's working and how busy they are, we get report cards on his stay. One of the employees also mentioned his allergy eye may not be allergies at all and maybe I should get it checked out again at the clinic. I have an appointment scheduled so very grateful for the care they give my little fur baby. Only minus is the parking lot is small and it's not easy to navigate but that's being very picky. read more

We are extremely pleased with this company. They had the dogs for 10 days and every day we got pictures of the dogs playing and looking very happy. We have boarded dogs in the past but this is by far my best experience . read more

We had been coming here for several years. We've spent thousands on boarding fees for our dog. She has always had a positive time with the staff. As stated before, they are generally communicative about your dog throughout the boarding experience. Unfortunately, we picked up our dog last month from a long boarding stay. We always bring her straight to our preferred groomer after boarding her. The groomer notified me halfway through the session that he was going to have to bring our dog to vet because he found a large cut on my dog that I did not disclose. While at the vet, the veterinarian stated that the deep cut on her paw was about 5 days old and she also noticed another cut on her snout that was about a week old. I was never notified of these cuts. The vet had to clean them up and I paid $400. I notified Barking Lodge of what had happened and the employee I spoke with stated they were going to investigate the matter. First, I was told that I should have been notified of the cut. Then, I was told that my dog could have cut herself playing on the fencing in the play area. Next, I was sent a picture of the waiver stating that they were not liable for any injuries. Bijan, the owner, then told me that my dog likely hurt herself after I picked her up. I told him we went straight to the groomer and that the vet even documented the age of the injuries. He disputed that and said that the vet could be wrong. Lastly, I got a stupid letter from the staff saying my dog never hurt herself during her boarding stay even though the vet said that's the only place she could have hurt herself given that my family and I were on vacation. The ridiculous thing is that I just wanted an apology. That's it. I couldn't even get one. I got blamed. This whole process took two weeks. They really didn't take this seriously and I had to keep pestering them for an answer. I'll never bring my dog here and never recommend this place. Be warned that Bijan will not allow himself or his staff to take ownership of any injury your dog sustains while on the property. Enjoy your time in the meantime. Drop your dog off at your own risk.

We love this place! We do daycare M-F! Our pup is a reactive dog and has so much energy! It's nice knowing that she socialize with other dogs and not always at home by herself. We get pictures and videos getting little updates on how she's doing. They also started sending cute little report cards! Which is so fun and I love it!! Staff here are great! We love them and our pup does too! read more

I love this place and so does my dog Gemma! She is so excited once we get to the parking and waits by the door to greet the staff. Everyone is super sweet with her. They send me frequent photos on how she is doing and as she plays with other dogs. Highly recommend! read more

We love Barking Lodge! Our Daisy can be a little anxious around new people, but they give her the time and space to warm up to them and now she loves everyone she meets there! read more

We took our elderly Labrador to Barking Lodge many times whenever we went on vacation. Our dog loved being there and being around the other dogs. The staff took great care of him and made sure he got his special diet. The Owner is a very nice person and loves animals. He seems to employ like minded individuals. If we get another dog, we will not hesitate to use Barking Lodge for boarding. read more

I dropped off my two huskies who have separation anxiety. This was our second time dropping them off here and they LOVED IT again! Although my pup did not want to eat, they sat next to them when they needed to be fed so they felt more comfortable. We got updates when we checked in and we were thankful for the videos and the pictures. Isabella also is the sweetest in their staff. She worked with the huskies everyday and bonded and took care of our babies as if they were her own while we were away! BEST PLACE EVER FOR YOUR FURBABIES! We Recommend 100% Thank you team and thank you Isabella! You are truly a blessing to us! read more

If you truly love your pet....Do not take your pet to this facility!!!! My family decided to give them another chance because they used to be so good a few years ago, and it was the biggest mistake we made. My baby, my Chesapeake Bay Retriever was in juried in their care and they didn't even notify!!! She stayed 4 nights there and was injuried between 330pm on the first evening to about 330 the next day and not a single person notified us so that we could come and take her to a vet! She had an open would on her face about 2 inches long and it had to have been bleeding because of how deep it was yet we were not informed at all. We picked her up 4 days later and saw her injury!!! When we asked about it, the staff replied immediately that she had stuck her nose between the gate and the frame of their facility. The staff knew it had happened and yet left her that way for 4 days!!! When we picked her up it was slightly scabbed over and pussy! We took her to the vet and because of their neglect to care for my pets injury by calling us, they caused her to have in infection!!!! This is what it looks like and when I contacted them they made every excuse in the book!!! First the owner stated he didn't even know she was injured because his staff didn't tell him. Then I got various text messages claiming it was not them or their facility. They did not even apologize for not letting us know sooner so that we could have gotten her immediate care for her injury. They kept making excuses to cover up what they did! Everyone can understand that accidents can happen! My issue is that they didn't inform me nor did they care for her injuries them self so they left her in pain and caused an infection! How awful and cruel can these people be! read more

We took our boys here for a two night stay. The staff were very helpful and nice. Our dogs, a frenchie and a dachshund played with all of the dogs and had a good time.

This is the only place I trust with my dog. I have a large dog who can often be reactive without the right support. Miriam and Bijan take care of him with so much love and care. They keep me updated on his progress. They give him an opportunity to be around other dogs when there is a chance. I am very grateful for them. We are treated like family there. Highly recommend!!! read more

Picked up our puppy and his testicles were burnt!Looks like something either cut him or burnt it. A layer of skin was removed with puss coming out. Manager had no explanation whatsoever and didn't want to refund our money or offer to pick up the vet bill. Went full on defensive mode and no sympathy or apologies. Unprofessional and unacceptable. Imagine picking up your kid/pet from a sitter with cuts and blood. Wouldn't you think they would call the parent/owner immediately they noticed something wrong???? Not this place, they just care for the money. DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET HERE. read more

I know Bijan, Maryam, and their team took great care of not just my dog and my boyfriend's dog; they take proper care of every dog that comes in. Their assessment process is straightforward. Their experience is evident in their confidence with commanding a pack. Their facilities look clean and each kennel looks pretty comfy, with active supervision, and natural light through their windows--not crammed or dark like others I've seen. Plus the security cameras are such a nice touch! Yes, I'm the one with separation anxiety, not Donut. My doggo is a shelter rescue. While he was nervous around a large pack during play time, the workers told me he was a sweet boy, so I'm glad this experience is helping him be independent (I just gotta let go more) read more

The team at Barking Lodge is great. We've been taking our Pit Bull to them for a couple years. They always keep us in the loop with notes and videos on Morty's status and it shows they care. Our dog can be apprehensive about other animals but the team finds a way to keep all animals in a safe and supportive environment. Morty is also allergic to most food items and the team is great about ensuring he is feed his specific dog food and snacks. And they are great about giving his medicine in a consistent manner. read more

Left my frenchie for the day and he loved it here. Friendly staff and well cared for. Will be bringing him back.

DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG HERE! If you love your fur baby at all do NOT trust these sorry excuses of people with your dog. We boarded my husky here for a few days and when I picked her up she was COVERED in her own waste and smelled awful! Their response? Quote: "Dogs get dirty. If you want us to keep her clean you have to pay extra for a bath." SERIOUSLY? How about just basic decent treatment of animals and making sure she doesn't sleep in her own waste? If you love your dog, or care about them at all, you WONT bring them here. Overall staff was RUDE, management a JOKE. read more
