Our elderly cats had health issues and we trusted the care they received. Just hired them in April while we were on vacation and we love the peace of mind knowing that very trustworthy people are taking care of our treasured loved ones. They sent pictures of our cats every day and surprisingly, our cats came out to greet them every day (we all know how cats can be). Annie Lou's Pet Sitters are a part of our family now. They are so kind, reliable and knowledgeable plus they brought in our mail and watered our plants. We highly recommend!

We struggled to find a groomer who met our needs with our giant golden retriever. It seemed like…read moreobvious requests - clean, brushed, trimmed. Luckily for us, For the Love of Dogs worked perfectly for our dog, Gypsy. Gypsy came out looking fresh, trimmed, and cleaned. She even smelled nice. We highly recommend For the Love of Dogs but moved a little too far. The schedule is always booked so don't think you can 'squeeze in' here; that's not a thing.

We found this groomer by visiting their booth at Harvest Homecoming. We took our 1yr old yorkiepoo…read moreBrownie there recently for his initial groom. It took us several weeks to get an appointment, which after his appt I can understand why. They were AMAZING! Customer service was top notch. I appreciate that they actually ask for canine vaccination records prior to their appt. They went over in detail every aspect of his groom, asking my preference on cut, length, etc. I met with his groomer personally at drop off. She advised me of pricing, $50, which is reasonable for a doodle in my opinion. She told me it would take her roughly 3-4 hrs to complete, and they would let me know when he was done. Upon pick up. Brownie was resting comfortably on a towel in a crate. The room was quiet...there was 1 other dog in a crate. I told them that Brownie loved people but was fearful of other dogs. (We are working on that.) She said she put him in the quieter room and you could tell he was very comfortable. Their facility is very secure, as you have to be let into the building. Parking is able and close to the door. The groomer came out at pick up to ensure I was pleased with his groom. All around top notch service!!!

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!

I first started bringing my 2 dogs here when they were puppies that was over 12 years ago and they no longer with us :( but they still remember them which makes me happy. We now bring our 3yr very hyper Australian Sheppard here, who can be bit of a jerk to some he doesn't know. I always get a Large Kennel for him to have room for his favorite blanket and toys. All the kennels have separated out door space for them to get fresh air. They also offer, training, playtime, grooming which I get every time We board Jakey. If thinking about boarding try the one on one training with Kat (Jakey loves her) and she works also with Duffy's Dog training in Jeff.
