This place is amazing. My boy is very shy and is not around other dogs very often. When I left him for a few hours he looked accepting of the situation which is a big plus. While not happy that we left him, he was not displaying any symptoms of being afraid or stressed out. We were able to explore NoLa with a sense of peace that we rarely have when leaving him in daycare. read more

Their team got in touch with me promptly to set up a meet and greet before services started. Channing came and took down notes about my two dogs, codes and where everything was located for the dogs. He was so nice and scheduling online is straightforward. With each visit they update me via text before and after the walks and put up photos I can access when I log into their website. Prices are reasonable. SO GLAD to have found a reliable, affordable, and thoughtful team to care for my dogs when I'm away! read more

Channing and his team are so amazing! If you live in New Orleans or are visiting New Orleans with your pup, go to The Blakemoore Bark! We found this rare gem staying nearby and they were able to get our boy in for an appointment. So accommodating, fun and kind! read more

I had no idea who to go to last minute, since I was too tired to drive and couldn't bring my dog to fly with me. I was even surprised that they offered services to take your dog to the vet, get necessary vaccinations etc. They did a great job in providing a safe and comfortable atmosphere; I was worried because this was the first time I was leaving her for a trip. They have activities for your dog and social events with other dogs, and don't just leave them in a kennel only to walk them to go to the bathroom. I'm very pleased and will use them in the future if necessary. read more

I've been bring my sweet dog here for 5 years. They treat her like family. I'm pretty sure she loves them more than me but that's ok because I know it means she's being well taken care of while I work long hours. She has a bit of a difficult personality and they give her tailored attention. When I'm working late I can request a drop off at home. She is loved and happy and that means a lot! I highly recommend the good folks at Blakemoore Bark! read more

Definitely trust Channing and his crew with my fur babies. You should too! My dogs loved to visit this place.

I love Blakemoore. They style my senior, one-eyed shih tzu Lucy Marie and provided her with a patient, gentle bath and haircut. When I dropped her off and picked her up, all of the staff there were very loving toward Lucy and asked thoughtful questions about her and the style I was looking for (with senior dogs, always "whatever you can manage"). When I picked her up, she was smiling and looks phenomenal, smells so good, and is very soft. The pictures below are from today. When I brought her in, she was a shaggy mess with some matting on her paws. I just adopted her and she needed a total makeover. I can't recommend the friends at Blakemoore enough! There's nowhere else in NOLA I'd bring my dogs. read more

We've been searching for a convenient and safe daycare for our boy Whiskey who is a 10 month old big puppy with LOTS of energy. Whiskey comes home exhausted because of a full day of play with other dogs that match his energy. He gets so excited once we walk up to the front door to drop him off. Everyone greets us with smiles and are so sweet to our little guy. Knowing they care and give Whiskey a great time makes me so happy! read more

They took very good care of my fur babies, They were awesome they did a great job on grooming them. I will be a repeat customer.

A couple of years ago my husband and I drove through New Orleans on our way across the country. We had our dog Waffles with us and I have to admit, we did not plan our trip well and totally miscalculated how much it would be to keep a puppy (she was only a few months at the time) in a hotel room or with a Rover dog watcher, let alone having to deal with her separation anxiety. We did a quick search on Yelp and Blakemoore Bark had amazing reviews so we gave them a call. Our dog wasn't spayed at the time so I thought that was going to be a huge problem, Channing (the owner) was quick and kind enough to solve our problem by isolating our girl in her own area, but with plenty of love from the staff. They sent me pictures of her riding a little bike thing haha, and even called up our vet for her vaccination requirements (yup, we forgot those too... we were such a mess). On top of that, we spent like 15 minutes just talking about how he started his business and his love for dogs, along with local places to visit and eat that weren't super touristy. We felt like we were inside VIP-ers! Waffles stayed there a few nights and came back clean and so happy! The reason I'm writing this review now is because even years later, after trying out MANY other different dog hotels, across multiple different states, we haven't found a place that we love as much as Blakemoore Bark, with the same kind of service - full of dedication, kindness, and creative thinking. You guys are doing a great job! Miss you all! read more

The Blakemoore Bark - Our pup Waffles - Dog Walkers Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This was our first time boarding our dog and I couldn't have been more disappointed. Communication before dropping him off was good, and I felt like he was going to be taken care of. However, upon dropping him off we received zero communication. I had to call multiple times and no one knew which dog I was talking about. I explained he has never been to daycare before and wanted to know how he was doing, and I had to describe which dog was mine and pretty much got a "yeah okay I see him. He's outside. He went to the bathroom." Okay.. is he eating? Is he playing? each time I called they promised picture updates. About 2 hours before I picked him up they uploaded pictures ... OF A DIFFERENT DOG. I emailed them to let them know and they told me it was a "mixup" with uploading. They then uploaded a handful of pictures clearly all taken in the same ten seconds. The pictures all showed my dog covered in eye goo. When we arrived to pick him up, no one answered the phone. I had to flag someone down on the side. They brought out my dog after about 10 minutes and then they had to go find all of his belongings which were all not together and apparently scattered in different places. His blanket was not even with his bed. They then returned with the wrong blanket before they finally found the right one. ***after bringing him home, we learned our dog developed a UTI while in their care due to not having enough water available to him. read more

Blakemoore Bark is the best ever! They are super attentive to the pups, sweet, and care so much about your pups. We have one "problem child" who didn't well at other [overly occupied] facilities - he would get over stimulated and basically act out. He LOVES Blakemoore. They have been so patient with our little guy and have actually helped change his negative behavior. He's truly a better behaved pup since his time at Blakemoore. They're awesome - you'll love them. read more

They are so sweet and thoughtful. My pup is having a wonderful time at boarding and daycare!

I was on a long road trip cross country but decided to stop in New Orleans to explore a bit. I brought my 2 dogs in for a day of doggy daycare, the staff was super helpful and friendly. You need proof of vaccine that are up to date, but they can get that faxed from the dogs vet. they welcome new pets which was great because many businesses need time before to allow services. Overall I had a great experience Dakota was super nice and helpful and answered any questions I had. It was their first time at a doggy daycare so I called to check in on them, and they were happy to give me an update on how they're were doing. The prices are very are fair which was a plus! Thank you Blakemoore Bark! Here's some pics of my fur babies enjoy! read more

I was in NOLA for an extended trip and our pup needed a grooming. I checked reviews around town and landed on The Blakemoore Bark. A quick phone call gave me the confidence to take our labradoodle here. (We'd had a very bad experience at a different groomer in a different city.) Dug is not the easiest pup, but he was in and out quickly and his cut was just as I'd asked. Thank you, Blakemore Bark! read more

The Blakemoore Bark has been AMAZING for my crew! I have three large breed dogs all with their own ¨special¨ set of issues. The staff at BB continue to go above and beyond with each visit. We have utilized their services for over night stay as well as daycare. With each visit I am in awe of the level of care they give to my pups. The staff has learned my dogs personalities and even find time to share personal comments on their day at pick up. Thank you Blakemoore Bark!! read more

We used Blakemoore Bark after being referred to them by friends. Blakemoore was quick to reply and reserved dates for us. Due to a pending storm and having to leave town for it, I contacted them and they agreed to take my dogs a day ahead of time. When I arrived it was raining. I called the number and I was instructed to wait outside, which was annoying. A few minutes later, I met with a staff member outside, and I got a bad first impression and vibe. But, due to the storm and having to leave town, I had no choice but to leave my dogs there. Before leaving, I was informed I had to pay for the services prior to leaving. I was somewhat apprehensive about paying before services were complete, thinking to myself what if they are negligent and my dogs die or end up getting hurt. But, this was their policy, and I paid. When I paid, I was asked if I wanted to tip the staff, which struck me as odd. Why would I tip before receiving services? Tipping is done after services are rendered. While the dogs were there, the staff emailed us once with pictures. I looked at them, I could tell they seemed stressed and the shine from their coats were gone. When I came to pick up my dogs, the staff member brought me the bowls and dog food container outside and I noticed the bowls smelled like dog urine. When the staff member brought my dogs out, both reeked of dog urine and their coats lacked their softness and shine. I had to bathe them as soon as we got home. All in all, I would not suggest using this place, especially for their price. Perhaps I should have followed my initial instincts. read more

Loki, my minature poodle, and I have been spending the month down here in NOLA. It's our first time visiting - we're from The Great Frozen North aka.Michigan - and we're having a ball. Everyone has been so kind and have gone out of their way to be friendly...perhaps a little to friendly in Loki's case. He apparently got to comfy with a few NOLA fleas!! I did not know this when I originally called Blakemoore and talked with Channing about an overdue grooming and doggy daycare. He was utterly charming and so welcoming and enthusiastic. He even made time to squeeze Loki into his extremely full schedule only two days later. Ryan was there to greet us and so patient with Loki's nerves. He's a lover, and has been almost overly popular as we've walked miles around the city, thus he's been extra clingy. A little itchy too, but I thought it was the heat. I had the greatest confidence in their bonding. What a relief! Later Channing called me to let me know that while Loki was quite chipper he'd picked up some bad company and needed a flea bath! Suddenly feeling a bit itchy myself, I of course agreed. Later Channing called me again to assure me everything was good and Loki seemed to be enjoying hanging out with some doggy buds. When I picked him up, Channing explained that NOLA has a breed of super fleas who are basically immune to the Frontline Plus and additional flea collar that were quite effective up north. He recommended I get him to the vet the next day for a dose of something effective here. He also suggested a vet near my home in Algiers, taught me about the flu virus with dogs down here and have me a number of other tips and information. Even suggested some sights and restaurants to try! So we're off to the vet today and I'm eager to have him back for day care a few times in the next couple weeks as well!! Im so grateful to have had Channing come to our rescue!! That said, let me take another minute or two to rave about Loki's grooming...it it the very best he has ever had. Channing had to trim him duper short because of the fleas and my having delayed way too long for a trim. Yet even so, he managed to keep Loki looking adorable and imp faced. He also managed to pluck the inside of his ears to baby's butt smoothness. This was especially impressive as a groomer a year or so basically ripped up his ears and no one, including the vets, been able to pluck since. I was lucky if he let me get in and trim them a bit. Channing knew this but tells me he had no trouble at all! He's either the real Dog Whisperer or he's serving them a doggie daiquiri with his grooming. I'm just amazed and grateful. I got Loki at a shelter after an elderly woman had to give him up. I doubt he'd ever been alone in the first 3.5 years of his life. My being retired has probably added to the illusion that's normal. In any case he drools buckets and then velcro himself to my body for the next 24 hours , if he's left alone longer than 2 hours. Thus I wasn't sure he'd even be able to do daycare, which meant even in dog friendly NOLA, I was going to miss out on seeing some great places ! Happily, it looks like Loki will be hanging out at the Blakemoore a couple days a week and I'll be touring galleries and museums. The only question remaining is how I'm going to fit Channing in the trunk of my Beetle when I kidnap and take him back to Michigan with us!! read more

My pup loves Blakemoore Bark! (He is normally great on a leash, but excitedly drags me down the block when we start to head towards Blakemoore.) We tried other places and he would get over-stimulated and sometimes misbehave, but the staff at Blakemoore Bark are caring and attentive, and encourage safe and fun playtime amongst all the dogs. The smaller atmosphere is great. They are a lovely bunch of people, and I feel totally comfortable leaving my puppy there whether it's for an overnight stay or a fun play day! Highly recommend! read more

My dog Seamus absolutely loves the Krewe here!! He runs to the door when we ask him if he wants to go play with the puppies!! We've tried several dog day care centers in the area, and you couldn't even drag him in for a second visit! Dogs always tell you when they don't like a place!! We're so happy to have found a place where they love the dogs and make them feel happy to be there. He also got the best grooming here!! Can't say enough about this place, we all love it! read more

EDA is walking! Clumsily, but walking. The staff at Blakemoore take her on daily walks in her wheelchair and we truly believe that this helped to strength her legs. She loves it at this daycare. They also have cool toys that are well priced. We'll never go anywhere else! Thank you! read more

I am new to the area and my dog was in need of a groomer. I loved that you can book online. They got her in the next day. She was bathed and trimmed and looks like her gorgeous little self again. Staff was friendly and kind to both of us. They have multiple payment options as well to simplify things. I will be using them again read more

10/10 amazing staff, very passionate with every animal they really do know what they're doing here!

These guys are freakin awesome! I'm new to the area and had to travel out of town. Chi has never been away from family overnight since he adopted us. He stayed 2 nights and did doggy daycare during his 3 days there. The staff humored my neurotic phone calls checking in on him...reassuring me of his comfort. When I picked Chi up he was, of course excited to see me and the staff went the extra mile to tell me of his good behavior and the fun he had. We returned for doggy daycare 4 days later. Chi himself assured me of his previous good time ... he whined driving up and practically dragged me to the front door in his excitement to get inside. Upon pick up the staff at the front desk gave hugs and love on Chi's exit and he in returned gave kisses, something usually only saved for and given to family. Although there's daycares closer to my home that I was going to change him to, Chi's reaction and the actions of the staff have cemented our relationship with Blakemoore Bark! read more

I am an overprotective dog mom, admittedly. Monty and I are attached at the hip, but Monty has serious anxiety and likes to hump other dogs when he gets nervous. I am so embarrassed when he does it, but he does it out of stress from other dogs who are his size. However, he loves smaller dogs. From the start, I knew this place would be the right fit for my puppy. Everyone who answered my 700 calls with questions and concerns answered me in detail and was very patient with my anxiety. I took Monty to Blakemoore to do an assessment, and Julian was so kind to me and Monty. He let me watch to make sure that everything was going to be okay and when I came back, Monty was wagging his tail and had made a new friend. He hung out with the smaller dogs all day! I really feel like my concerns were heard in detail and Monty got the specialized care I want him to have. No request is too big here. Their staff was willing to work with my problematic and frustrating dog. There are never too many dogs there so they all get the attention they need. I am so happy, and so is my baby Monty! I will definitely come back to help Monty learn to socialize a little better! read more

I used to send my pup here all the time and she loved it but I know she prefers to stay at home so I found an in house dog sitter that would stay with her while I was away. He recently moved out of state with little notice and I had to scramble to find a place for Orleans, my pup, to stay over Thanksgiving. The wonderful people at Blakemoore were super responsive and helpful while I was trying to find all her up to date vet records. They were even thoughtful enough to double check with me about her feeding schedule. Orleans is very spoiled and let's me know when she's not happy (only child syndrome) but she's always happy and healthy when I pick her up. They even wash her bedding and post adorable pictures for me to stalk on Facebook while I'm gone. Thanks everyone and Blakemoore Bark! read more

I couldn't be happier with my Blakemoore Bark experience!! I made a last minute trip to NOLA, and although my hotel was pet-friendly, I knew my mini schnauzer would be happier at a pet daycare. I can't believe how lucky we were to find this place!!! It was right around the corner from the hotel, so I walked my buddy over & he spent two nights. I received pictures each day of his walks and he got extra play time with new dog friends. The staff was SUPER friendly and accommodating and the facility was very clean and cute! I highly recommend taking your dogchild to The Blakemoore Bark and I will definitely book a stay for my pupper next time I'm visiting New Orleans! read more

Tchoupitoulas loved staying with The Blakemoore Bark team - he's a happy boy!! We met Channing and his team a few weeks ago and have been clients ever since. Tchoupitoulas aka Chopper has been to doggy day care several times, and stayed with The Blakemoore Bark team last week while I was out of town. Chopper loves to go to his "clubhouse" when he wants to play with other dogs, and he has his grooming done there now too! He always comes home refreshed and in a great mood! I cannot say enough about the extra special care Chopper receives from everyone who works here. They genuinely care about his well being, and sent me notes and pics every day I was away. They have provided advice and love to my dog - they are the best!! Most importantly, they are so friendly, easy to work with, and trustworthy. Please do yourself a favor and make this your dog's new dog walker/groomer/sitter. Your dog will never need to go anywhere else in New Orleans again. read more

Had to pick my dog up before service provided. My pet was scared, shaking head bowed, trama. Blood blister under tongue. 1 yr old pup. Took to vet immediately. I was Told by groomer he was aggresive at shop. And a towel had to be thrown over him to try to service him or calm him. My pet was scared and pooed all over and looked like they hosed him down for us to pick him up. Whatever happened, there is no excuse. No cameras? You can not put several animals into groups of dogs witout having some sort of introduction. My Vet had No problems other than trying to stop his shaking and fear. And trying to check out his blood bruise. I know my pet and any animal will show protective behavior when feeling scared or hurt. He has NEVER showen biting behaivor. He is a barker only. The groomer should reevaluate how they handle new pets and install cameras so the truth will be know without question. I wish this business well but, i do not recommend. read more
