super clean
Posted by jjahrk on 07/29/2008
I was so stressed out trying to find a safe and loving place for my 18mth dog. This was her first boarding and I was impressed with the thorough way they screened incoming dogs. I also like how the big dogs are in a seperate building from the small dogs, The place smells very clean and I love how they use steam to sanitize as it is not toxic. In a perfect world I would like a better record of my dogs stay rather than the 5 words I got on a card as I was very quickly checked out. A little impersonal. My dog was exhausted and had a bit of a cold...she seemed really stressed out so I don't know if I would board her again...next time I will probably have house service. Boarding is no the best option for every dog. This place was the best option I found in this type of service.

They always take great care of my baby!

I love when I walk into the Barking Lounge with my dog and they greet her by name! We don't take our dog here too often so it always impresses me when they remember her. I love that I can look for her on the web cam and see how much funs she's having. When I picked her up, they even had a cute little "doggy report card" that told me about her day. They said that she was very sweet and cuddly with the staff and they even named a few of her new "friends". :) It was adorable! I hung it on the refrigerator. :)
I'm not an expert on Seattle doggy daycares but the price seems a little bit steep. And they close at 5pm on the weekends. It'd be nice if they closed at 7pm, like they do on weekdays. Another con is that it's an all-indoor location and she only gets taken out twice per day. I understand that they have lots of dogs to walk, but I let my dog out at least 4 times per day. I hope she's okay holding it.
Overall, I love this place. I am totally confident that they will take good care of my dog and she always comes home exhausted. I love it.

so far so good!

We just went in for our temperament testing today, I really liked the vibe and knowledge of the staff. They really took the time to talk to me ask me questions and answer any of mine. We had been to another day care and felt less than comfortable with the lackadaisical approach to care...so far SO good!

My dog loves the Barking Lounge!
Posted by oliver06 on 10/20/2007
I've been taking my dog to the Barking Lounge for over a year. He LOVES the staff and his furry friends! I haven't had any problems with the staff--in fact, they have called me after a stay if they noticed anything out of the ordinary. I like the webcam, too, since it's nice to know that I can check on him while I'm away!

Don't take your doggie here !!!!!!!
Posted by minime8 on 07/12/2007
The owner and staff of this business are disorganized, confrontational, and lack critical commucation skills and the minimal skills to take care of doggies. Our two dogs were left in the kennel they shared ( a small kennel) for 32 hours before contacting us ( we were out of town) regarding a paperwork omission that I was told was an mistake they had made, and that I had to correct it via fax before they would let our doggies out of they're kennel to be in the open play area. The owner aurgued with me....stating the I was not considered a customer.....and that my doggies would not be released out of the kennel until I corrected the oversight that his staff had made. The minute we could return to Seattle, my husband and I picked up our doggies. This staff and owner displayed Darwinism at it best.
I highly DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DOGGIE DAYCARE.

Good folks - Safe and Clean

I worked there for 4 months last year, and even though I was fired (attendance issues), I have no hesitation recommending them for day care and boarding.The staff and management cares about the safety and well-being of the dogs, they have regular in services to learn more about how to be with the dogs, and they are religious about cleanliness.Four Paws Up!

We (us and our dog) LOVE the barking lounge. Always friendly and helpful and our dog has a great time - and you can check on them during the day with their webcam!

awesome daycare for dogs
Posted by Shilo B. on 08/15/2005
I don't like spending time in rooms with no windows, I don't imagine my dog would either.the barking lounge is huge and airy and has lots of natural light, a friendly staff, and some of the lowest rates in town.
