Bark Avenue Play and Stay 44900 Utica Road, Utica, MI 48317

"Our dog cannot be more excited when we pull up to Bark Ave. every time we drop her off. This facility is very clean, the team members are friendly and I always feel comfortable leaving my pet here when we go on vacation. Great job Bark Ave!"

"Our pup Piper fell in love with this place. After a lot of back and forth about boarding her while we went on a weeks long vacation, we decided to give it a shot. From the start, my nerves went through the roof when one of the girls took Piper away as she pulled at the leach. Piper was never away from us long since I work from home. The owner reassured us that everything would be okay, and that when we came to pick her up, she wouldn’t want to leave. She was so right! During our trip we saw all the pictures posted daily on their FB page, and could see how clean and happy all the dogs were, and how clean the facility was kept. When we picked Piper up, she was bathed, happy, and tired. And as promised, didn’t want to leave. 2 hours later and she’s now passed out next to us, probably dreaming of all the friends she’s made. I will use Bark Avenue every time we need a sitter, and maybe sometimes when we don’t. I can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you to all the staff, Piper had a blast!"

"Our dog Khloe absolutely loves coming to Bark Avenue. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. You can tell they really take great personal care with all the dogs and treat them like their own. The prices are fair and affordable and the experience for our dog has been wonderful. She never wants to leave and has a blast with all the other dogs. Pictures are posted every day on Facebook and you can see how much fun all the dogs are having. I really appreciate how easy and comforting Bark Avenue has made it for us to drop off our dog and know she's in good hands."

"We LOVE this place!!!! So, so friendly and amazing! I always feel safe with my dog in daycare and boarding while he’s at Bark Ave. All of the staff members are wonderful and so high energy and chipper, which is great for the dogs because they love the energy! We used a different daycare facility in the state we used to live in previously but my dog loves this place even more. Would highly highly recommend to everyone!"

"The staff here is incredible. They made me feel safe leaving my fur-baby for the day. Monet answered all of my questions both times I stopped in there before deciding that this would be our doggie care. My Phoebe is a tripod because of a dog attack when she was 11 weeks old so we are a little protective of her and worried about her feeling safe with other dogs, but also know it is super important for her to be socialized. The staff is always very friendly and high energy which is awesome! They know us when we come in the door. Phoebe can hardly wait to get out of the car when we pull in I get zero goodbyes from her now because she is so excited to go play. That is the proof I needed to know that we made the best decision for our baby. Bonus she is wiped out when we get in the car and asleep before we get to Van Dyke. Plus they post pictures on their Facebook page."
