The Barkmont LLC

The Barkmont always makes sure to take care of my pup. He goes in and comes away happy as a clam! The cameras are a nice feature of transparency that allows me to peek into the daycare life which reassuring. Overall I’d recommend for folks who work during the day and need a some daycare from time to time

Barkmont is far and away the best boarding and daycare I've used. Our dog has complex social anxiety issues, with related medication needs. The Barkmont team are kind, caring and patient with him, providing feedback on how he's doing. The Barkmont has become one of his favorite places that he gets genuinely excited to go to, which is a rarity for him. He loves the Barkmont team and we can tell they care about his happiness and long-term success. They've become a key part of his community, and I can't imagine his life without them. I cannot recommend Barkmont enough.

The team at the Barkmont is very caring and thoughtful. Our dog has stayed there half a dozen times for full or half-day daycare. The staff communicated with us about his needs and took excellent care of him when he had a health issue—even walking him to the veterinarian across the street for us when the issue arose. I highly recommend the staff and facility at the Barkmont.

After trying most of the boarding options in the east bay we have landed on Barkmont as the favorite. The staff I have interacted with have been lovely and genuinely curious about what my dog needs. Roz comes home happy and tired. The only reason I left off a star is the one time I went inside their lobby the smell was absolutely awful. I get it, there are dogs there but it seems like something could be done to mitigate that.

Update 4/30/24... I was called to fly to Beverly Hills first thing in the morning. I called after hours to set up boarding for Willie and was approved immediately. Shout out to Amanda and Kirk for their steadiness in accomodaring Willie when I travel on business. Another plus, is he has a best friend that's on the same boarding schedule, named Charlie. Every time I drop him off he is super excited to run into the FUN room to play with him, and all the staff talk about how their friendship is so cute. I recommend The Barkmont to everyone I know who has a pet. Forget about wag, rover, and all the other places, Barkmont is the best boarding facility in the bay, hands down. Update 11/23/22... I had a late notice work schedule change on 11/22/22 and needed a place for my dog to stay overnight. With Thanksgiving around the corner, The Barkmont was full and had no available reservations. Shout out to Kirk for making an exception and boarding Willie for me. I picked him up moments ago and he was all wags; I could tell he had an amazing visit at his hoke away from home. 5 stars all the way. I had to get my middle aged dog neutered and spent a week before his surgery looking for a dog sitter or pet hotel to watch him while I was at work. I work 70 hrs per week and couldn't find anyone who could commit that type of time, and furthermore had the ability to take care of a dog post surgery. I tried Rover, Wag, and various dog hotels... set up multiple meet and greets and wasn't happy with the customer service, vibe, ability, availability etc... Finally, the day before Willie's surgery, I found The Barkmont. I called to inquire, and was given an email address for Kirk, the owner. He responded late that night. He genuinely cared about my dogs situation, and put alot of energy into finding a pet sitter to come to my house, but wasn't able to find one. He offered to set me up with a special space onsite, with reliable staff to watch, walk, give meds, and care for my special little guy Willie. Furthermore, this place operates 24/7, amd allowed me to pick up and drop off any time day or night. I noticed Willie was happy every time I picked him up. The greetings I received when I came inside were always pleasant from every staff member, and sensed that everyone who works at The Barkmont feels a special connection with animals... they treated Willie like a member of their pack, and I am forever grateful for the experience they offered. Willie will be allowed to take his cone off tomorrow after his post surgery checkup, and I am excited to make regular reservations in the future so he can play with the happy dogs that stay at the luxurious Barkmont Hotel, Spa, and Day Care on a regular basis when I am at work amd out of town. Big props to Dre, Kirk, Amanda, and the rest of the staff for running the most reputable and capable dog hotel in the bay area. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘
