I just recently tried Barkin Garvins. I found the staff to be very unprofessional and not to friendly (both the office and day care folks). I wanted to board my dog as well but was told they ONLY take cash at the main office (suspicious). I watched the web cam and the staff didn't interact much with my dog. I was not to sure how competent they were with animals as the woman who did our screening didn't seem to have much control over the dogs she brought out to meet my dog. The I only took my dog only a few times and after viewing the online video and getting a full picture of their services I began to look elsewhere.
Pros: None.
Cons: unprofessional staff, lack of attention to dogs, dirty smelly facilities
Value: For $30 a day I expect better service, structured activities for my dog, and a cleaner/nicer environment.
Service: Staff were not friendly, didn't really tell me much about how my dog did. Their "report cards" are generic. I didn't feel as though I was being treated well or that my dog was getting much attention, quality exercise and play time. I didn't get to see the "yards" and "sandboxes" where the dogs pee and that concerned me - why won't they show that area.
Quality: They really don't do structured activities with the dogs... just let them run wild. I watched one dog try and hump another for almost an entire day. The facility doesn't really have a nice place for small dogs (just a tiny room up front with no place to potty. I saw on the web cam that they begin cleaning the large room around 4:30ish before all the dogs leave at 6pm - this concerned me because I saw 1 staff person watching 15 dogs in a very small room.
