this is my business

The Barking Lounge provides dogs with supervised playcare 24-hours a day. Our focus is on creating a safe, secure, and fun environment in which your pooch will interact, learn and play with other dogs under the close supervision of our trained Dog Wranglers and Staff. Our overnight guests will snooze in our deluxe canine condos, cozy doggie dens, and spacious pooch runs with staff supervision, and in addition to playing with the daycare dogs, will be walked in the morning and the evening. Our professional staff monitor all of our canine guests and provide personalized care and attention, all the while making sure that the "pack" dynamics and socialization remain safe and positive.

#1. My dog Wurthington loves to talk (is a constant barker). And, he's got a bit of the Don Juan in his romantic pomeranian soul (humper). I know this. They know this. Despite Wurthie's special qualities, he is always welcomed by name, with a smile, like a beloved family member, which is exactly as it should be!
#2 The place smells clean when I walk in the door, every single time. How they do this?? I don't know. But that fact alone somehow brings me even more confidance and peace of mind leaving my loved ones in their care.
#3 Front office staff is always knowledgeable and very competent. Tjhank you Barking Lounge!

Everyone at Barking Lounge always remembers my dog's name and she is not exactly unique looking (chocolate lab mix). They take great care of my dog and tell me how she is doing. We totally trust the Barking Lounge!

We love this place. My dog goes 3 times per week, and has a bunch of pals there. She loves it, and so do I. Great place, and really friendly staff too.

My dog can't wait to go to The Barking Lounge, and the staff are amazingly friendly. Also, the facility is unbelievably clean - I checked out a bunch in Seattle and this is definitely the cleanest . It is clear that they really love the dogs. A+ and two paws up!

Dogs are very well taken care of at The Barking Lounge and it is a very clean establishment. Plus there are lots of goodies to purchase to spoil one's dog.

The staff at the Barking Lounge are true dog lovers and my pooch loses his mind when he knows he's going to spend the day there. Teddy comes home pooped out from running around and I always feel he's safe and well taken care of while I'm at work.

Over the last three years, I have tried several dog daycare businesses for my lab. The Barking Lounge stands out by far for several reasons: 1) they actually pay attention to the temperament of the dogs they care for, and are careful about which dogs are penned together; (2) they actually play with the dogs; (3) the place is cleaner and smells better.

Before coming to The Barking Lounge, we had taken our dog to a couple other doggie day-care businesses around the city... they were just businesses.. and then we found TBL, it's like going to see family and friends who love and take care of your dog!! We are super grateful and appreciate everything you do for all the doggies! We love you guys!

We have a very sensitive dog who has rarely been boarded throughout his life. One holiday, we had no choice but to board him and, of course, we chose the Barking Lounge. I was like a mother leaving her child at kindergarten for the first time, but the staff put me and my pup at ease immediately. They totally understood his quirky personality and responded to his needs. What more can you ask for?

If happy pooches, cleanliness, and excellent customer service are what you think of when considering a doggie daycare, then The Barking Lounge is an absolute must! I rate it 10 out of 10 Woofs!

The staff is very friendly and professional. (I'd love to attend their company parties!) They call or tell me whenever my dog(s) need extra care and advise me. The facilities are very clean and smell good.

Amazing group of people that obviously love dogs. We left our puppy there for several days confident that she would be taken care of. We were able to watch her on the webcam and seeing her make friends and play during the day made us feel a little better about leaving her. The stringent dog vaccination and temperment policy gave us confidence that the barking lounge took the health of their doggy customers seriously. I absolutely will be taking our dog back next time we need a day or weekend off for travel.

An extremely clean, safe and wonderful place for our pugs. They forget all about us once they enter and when they come home after boarding they're happy and wiped out because of their great experience with the other dogs and the animal loving staff!

Our Bulldog, Mona Lisa, LOVES the Barking Lounge so much that I'm pretty sure she's actually happy when we go on vacation! The staff is wonderful and we couldn't be happier knowing that our girl is in such good hands! We also love that they have a webcam so that we can check in on Mona while we're away. Two paws up!

The Barking Lounge is the best doggy daycare I have ever taken little Luca to. They are very attentive and watched over unlike alot of other daycares.
I recommend this daycare to anyone I come across in the Seattle area.

I love this place. What a wonderful service and such great people there too. Would never change or go to the crappy one that had it's own TV show--this place is actually about the DOGS, not about EGO! The Barking Lounge is by FAR the best in town, believe me, I know. Won't take my dog anywhere else.

The barking lounge is a great place to take your little dog or your big dog. The staff is very pet and people friendly and always have great recommendations on place to take your pet for fun, get cool products (they have some at the lounge as well) and keep you informed of other services.

Great people and great service. My pup has been going here for years now and they have been so attentive to his concerns and behavior. Tried 2 other daycares in Seattle and did not have anywhere the same level of service of love of animals. Also felt like I was getting ripped off for crating my pup (Which he does not need at daycare - nap time is just an excuse to not deal with them. Nap time is for when I get him home after a long day. WTH?)
