Super excited to find a groomer I could trust in the New Orleans area, I booked an appointment for my sweet fur baby Payton. My experience was sadly disappointing. Initially, I was a bit concerned dropping my pup off because I had not been actually asked what style of cut I desired. I was told by staff that the groomer would call prior to servicing my pup, however, that call never came. Not only was my dog's cut rushed and uneven all over her body, the hair on her ears was cut so short it's practically the length of her actual ears. She is a poodle. Her ears have never been cut so low. Prior to the appointment, I was assured that the groomer had experience with poodles but that was unfortunately not reflected in the services rendered. Staff also seemed to have a negative disposition and were not that accommodating. They were, however, adamant about charging me more for the services provided even though lacking real obvious effort. They also refused to let me see my dog without paying first which has never happened in the 9 years I've had my dog. I paid but will not be returning. I suggest you ask very specific questions prior to securing their services if you truly care about your dog because they do not communicate like most professional establishments should. read more

Awesome, awesome place!! We were so satisfied with Blakemoore Bark. We needed a place to pup sit our girl while we toured the city. They were so easy to work with. I called them the day before and got them everything that was needed. The drop off and pick up process was extremely smooth. I'm so thankful for Blakemoore Place! We would definitely use them again. read more

I was really happy to find Blakemoore Bark! Our dog Moxie had a fantastic stay. They sent us an email with pics of our girl midway through her stay. The smaller group play and multiple daily walks was just the right balance of play and outdoor time for our doggie. We definitely look forward to our next stay! read more

I pre-packaged and labeled by dog's breakfast, snack and dinner for his 2 days stay. When I picked him up, they returned his bag with the snacks. I asked the person working why didn't they give him his snacks and he said that he didn't know. I called back to speak with Julian and he said that, even though the information was recorded in his profile that he gets breakfast, snack and dinner, they had so many dogs that they could barely keep up with walking them, lest alone instructions. Now, whose fault is that? Also, when I picked him up, he was VERY thirsty. Needless to say, this was my first and last visit to The Blakemoore Bark. Understaffed and not enough attention to detail... read more

My lil guy Ollie LOVES the Blakemoore Bark! We've been using their services for over 5 years now and it's been a lifesaver with my work schedule. Excellent level of care AND it's also so clean I tease Channing (the owner) that I wish they would come do housekeeping as well! Their exclusive line of pet care products keep my fur baby healthy and heavenly scented. I wish I could give TEN stars! read more

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

Channing is a dog owners dream!!!! My shih tzu, Miley, ADORES him and I know this because as soon as she sees him, she gets overly excited to see him again :) Channing has been grooming Miley for roughly a year now and he is an amazing groomer. He is very detailed oriented, thorough and truly cares. He always checks with me before and after for my thoughts, although I never have anything to say except "do what you did last time" and "she looks great". Miley cannot be kenneled, so they work with me to have her hang in day care when she is not physically being groomed. Not to mention, he is also extremely reasonably priced! Sadly, my previous dog walker/ sitter moved out of town and I was left extremely worried with what to do with Miley when I travel (especially since she cannot be in a kennel). Channing let me know that he does dog sitting too. Since Miley is pretty low maintenance and gets along so well with his dog, Margot, he has now watched Miley in his home while I am on vacation (twice). Any dog lover knows, that leaving town can be extremely stressful because you worry about your baby. When Miley is with Channing, I do not worry one bit!!! Channing constantly checks in with me sending me pictures and updates. Again, for Miley to get to hang in a comfortable home with people and another dog, his sitting services are extremely reasonably priced as well! He is amazing. I could go on and on about all the little personal touches he has done, such as reminding me about her yearly shots being due to helping drop her off at my house, but this review would be WAY too long if I listed them all. Just know, the five stars that I gave on this review doesn't do Channing and Blakemoore Bark justice (I wish I could give 10 stars)! read more

My pup Zen loves this place. I travel to New Orleans weekly for work and needed a place for my pup to go daily. She is high energy and always ready to play so leaving her alone while at work would never work. She has made so many friends here and loves the staff. When we pull up she looks out the window as if she knows where she is going and is ready for me to drop her off. Then when I pick her up she gets into the car lays down and goes to sleep and is super cuddly when we go back to the hotel. This is because she is exhausted. Thanks so much for the love and great pictures Blakemore Bark she thinks of you all as family. read more

Honestly I have worked in a lot of places but Blakemoore Bark is by far the best job I have ever had. Not only is the rest of the staff awesome but the owner , my boss, he's the best ! The most resourceful person I have ever met. He has a ton of knowledge about our canine companions. I'm just a little over a month, he has taught me so much and has made my love for dogs grow even bigger ( which I didn't think was possible). I love the work we do and I enjoy meeting the different little and big personalities that come walking in on all fours ! read more

They took care of my little girl, and they took some great photos of her in the process. Great place, affordable, with a caring staff :)

After failed attempts to find the perfect groomer for my dog MAX, I have found the most professional stylist. He is very professional, caters specifically your needs and your schedule. Allows for great flexibility. Went above and beyond for the job that needed to be done for Max! I will deal with no one else but him! Thank you Channing read more

Just would like to say Tucker my puppy loves the treats I bought for him for Christmas very health and last a long time... read more

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

My dog loves The Blakemoor Bark! We're moving in May & I know he'll miss his time there. Every employee I've encountered has been polite. Although I've never used the service, I love that they offer pick-ups if those are necessary. read more

I explained that my dog was very difficult before I dropped him off and that I hate leaving him places. However they made me feel very confident that he would fine. read more

Let me start off by saying that I have a staunch anti-Yelp policy (being service industry and all), but I am breaking that rule because I feel absolutely compelled to shout out Blakemoore for the amazing blessing they have been on my life. My boyfriend travels about half the time for work, so I first looked into Blakemoore when I realized that my work schedule wasn't cutting it in order for my super high energy puppy to get the exercise he needs. Reading the glowing reviews I figured I should give them a shot, and over the past year they have saved my life! My boyfriend's work schedule can be unpredictable, and they have always accommodated last-minute daycare sessions. They always greet Gruner by name and he is SO EXCITED to go - he basically yanks my arm out pulling for the last block no matter how much leash training we work on!! In fact, if I'm walking him around the neighborhood I take care not to pass Blakemoore because he will lay down and refuse to move even though he's not booked that day - sometimes I think he likes them better than me! Gruner has friends here and I always get an update on who he gets to play with, plus glorious action shots of him running around with the other pups. It's very hard to tucker out this pup, but I know Blakemoore is doing him right because he's always a sleepy and snuggly boy when he gets home. They have been so patient with my overactive pup and clearly know what they're doing with a passion and love for every little monster that comes through their door. Thank you Blakemoore, I'm a sworn customer for life! read more

We appreciate you guys hosting Bourbon. We were on a trip out of the country so two of our best friends called and checked on Bourbon daily! They were always greeted with a pleasant conversation by who ever answered the phone. Bourbon was well taken care of and I will def be using you guys service again! Thank you! read more

My first visit was quite an experience. A good one. Everyone's so nice and the groomer was exceptional. Only downside is that my pups too adorable now. Walks? Yes! Treats? You bet! Cuddles? Absolutely! How am I supposed to say no to this face now?! read more

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

Blakenoore is always a solid choice for doggie daycare. Pup always returns happy but exhausted. Super friendly folks.

BB is FABULOUS! Jake had a wonderful stay. Staff is super friendly, helpful and thorough. Austen was an awesome friend/handler, who sent adorable photos of their walks together. Sign in/drop off/pickup process was efficient. Lot's of street parking in front. Will definitely come back. read more

The Blakemoore Bark really helped us out at the last minute with boarding for our little dog - everyone was so friendly, and our pupper seemed to have enjoyed her stay! We boarded her for one night with day care for two days and found the price incredibly reasonable - especially for a last-minute situation when we were in town visiting. Etta was even sad to leave Zach (the manager) when I came to pick her up! 18/10, would definitely use Blakemoore Bark again! read more

These guys were great! They worked with us to get our dogs in on short notice! The location was perfect for us as we were staying in the French Quarter. Would definitely use them again! Barbara B. read more

We were in New Orleans over Labor Day weekend for a very spur of the moment trip. We booked a hotel on Bourbon, and headed to NO with our two small dogs in tow. We arrived late and trying to find any green space for a potty break in the Quarter was a challenge.. even more of a challenge was how loud the hotel hallways get at a certain time of night. Our neighbors were young kids who were very loud and our dogs barked a bit.. then the beating on the walls and kicking at our door began. Not joking, we travel all over with them, all types of hotels, they are not chronic barkers when left alone. I found one of them under the nightstand. Anyway, we decided to try and find them last minute accommodations over a holiday weekend so they wouldn't be in a bad situation with us at the hotel. Luckily the wonderful crew at The Blakemoore were able to help us out. They took them in early that morning, let us visit and gave us an update when we picked them up. My wife runs a dog boarding facility in Austin and it was particularly hard for her to leave them at a place she didn't investigate prior. We both felt at ease with the staff and how helpful and kind they are. Give them raises!!!! They are making this business what it is! Thanks everyone!! read more

Where to even start! Immediately feels like family. You can see and feel how much they genuinely care for your animal. They tell you all about your pet's experience and even take pictures . I would highly recommend The Blakemoore Bark. read more

Amazing place. You can tell everyone that works there loves dogs and I always know my dog is in good hands when he goes to daycare there. 5 stars all around! A gem read more

First off, I didn't have my pet stay at Blakemoore Bark. This review merely covers the fact that Channing returned my call within minutes and offered a very reasonable overnight rate. That's extremely impressive for a downtown pet care business and probably the best in downtown New Orleans. If you're using Blakemoore Bark, remember the shot records or at least be able to provide a vet who can forward the records. Sometimes I think customer service alone is worth a review such as this case. Thanks, Channing. read more

We love this place for our dog! The grooming always turns out great, and we know that she's in good hands when we leave her for the day.

These people love dogs! That is the most important attribute we look for in a doggie daycare. The owner helps the animal rescue community find homes for dogs. This says a lot about who they are. Kismet Pet Adoptions truly appreciates the love Channing and his staff have for the dogs. They always seem happy. read more

I was in New Orleans on a convention and was traveling on to another venue so I brought my service dog with. It was pretty close to the Hyatt and they were very accommodating. They were strict about shots and so had to go to a vet and get a bordatella shot, so I was comforted that my dog wouldn't be around diseased animals. They said my dog was special and wanted to be held by all of the staff. They said he knew how to make friends easy with the dogs and staff and likes to be in the spotlight. How true, but he does know how to gain the attention of those around him. They were very accommodating for a visitor and not a regular. I will take my dog there on my next visit to New Orleans. read more

As good as it gets!!! The staff is awesome, facilities superb, price perfect...Hazel loves it there...I'd sleepover if they served Bourbon... read more

Channing has been grooming our dogs for two years. Having two standard poodles we want to be sure the grooming is done well - Channing does an amazing job. He genuinely cares about the quality of his work and the comfort of the dogs. He's always willing to work around my erratic work schedule and even brought my dog home to me when I couldn't get back to pick her up on one occasion. Service like that is hard to beat. read more

I wanted to use their services for when I came to town, But they couldn't be bothered to return a simple email.

I tried to like this place and just couldn't. It's small, they don't have any grass or yard, and minimal space indoors. There's no cameras to check on your dog and they promise lots of pictures and updates but that's unlikely in my experience! My pup also seemed so sad while there :( I was so disappointed read more

Been taking our Dobie to Blakemoore while in NOLA. He is super excited to be there- which can be a good thing for him and not so good for the staff! They are always great and patient with him. read more

Couldn't ask for a better place to leave your pet! Over the moon with how our sweet boy was loved up on by the staff here. VIP treatment from the moment we walked in with him. read more

The Blakemoore Bark is amazing! I was visiting New Orleans with my pup and long story short, the stay extended and then extended again. We needed a lot of help, often last minute, and Channing, the owner of Blakemoore Bark, was and is always there for us. This is not your everyday doggie daycare company. They cater to your needs and customize the daycare experience of your pet. They shuttled our dog to and from a great daycare they recommended for us, the Pet Care Center on Diamond Street. The great part about this daycare center is that Channing is there for most of the day and does a lot of his grooming appointments at that location. He always had an eye on our boy. It felt like the entire staff was taking care of one of their own. I got picture updates all day long and peace of mind in general that he was having such a great time. I can't recommend The Blakemoore Bark enough. read more

I've used the Blakemore twice now for boarding my Siberian Husky and he loves it. They were very accommodating to my last minute bookings and even offer pickup and drop-off for dogs. The rates were more affordable than many of the other facilities I looked into and they made me feel very comfortable with leaving my dog for the weekend. The location is very clean and has plenty of space for the dogs to run around and play together. Not only did they take amazing care of my Bowie, but they even sent me some pictures of him having fun on his walks, which provided great peace of mind while I was out of town. I've also used this site for his grooming and they were a huge help, especially with my oversized dog who sheds too much. I give them 5/5 stars and will definitely be using them again in the future. read more

I'm very happy with my experience and Coco's stay here. My dog is very difficult and has behavior issues. She got scared and snapped at the steward and I was completely MORTIFIED (still am). However, he was so patient and accommodating -- he should be up for sainthood. The staff is so caring and is truly passionate about dogs. You can tell they love what they do. I highly recommend their services to both locals and travelers. This place is a real jewel. read more

I wanted this to be my go-to place for Gambit considering the good reviews and convenience to my downtown office. But, unfortunately poor communication from the staff leads to this review. I dropped Gambit off Friday morning and realized I forgot his food. I asked the front desk person if they had food that I could purchase, if not, I would go back home and drop off his food later. The person at the desk offered to go buy some food so I wouldn't have to go back home. He advised that he would charge me for the food and I could bring it home. I agreed. AT NO TIME WAS I ADVISED THERE WOULD BE A $30 SURCHARGE FOR THIS SERVICE. On Sunday when I picked Gambit up, I was shocked by the additional charge, and when I explained that I was not told about the charge, the response I received was "yes ma'am." I paid, because I do not like to argue when the subject matter is just not worth it. I speak with reviews and dollars (by being a regular and good customer or not - depending on my review). I am a professional and take communication very seriously when it comes to business and this is something Blakemore needs to refine. Two stars for taking care of Gambit during a busy weekend for me. read more

Amazing service and care! They took such great care of our pups. They love the pups just like they are their own. Would definitely use again if we visit New Orleans again. Couldn't recommend more. read more

Channing and his stewards are the BEST! They are just crazy about the dogs entrusted to them and take such great care of them. They love what they do. Also Channing is a terrific groomer. read more

We had a great experience at The Blakemoore Bark today. In town for just one day, the staff at the BB made our enrollment and drop off process seamless and speedy. The facilities were super clean, and the staff went ABOVE and beyond with kindness. We felt completely comfortable leaving our fur baby in their care for the day. Winnie was absolutely worn out when we picked her up from a day full of love and fun. We will definitely be using the BB again. Also, her Pawdicure was amazing read more
