Barks On The Boulevard

Mandy just loves coming here to see all of her friends. The staff goes outta their way to make sure all the dogs are happy & enjoy being here. Thank you for helping not only Mandy but myself as well.

I have had nothing but wonderful experiences for both of my dogs here. They love going to daycare, and I truly feel like the staff cares about them. There is no where else in town that lets you drop off and pick up so flexibly! We love them!!

I have been taking my dog here for years. She is a rescue coming from an abusive past and was terrified of almost everything. Since coming she has gained so much confidence and absolutely loves it. When we turn down Erie she generally starts to lose it, whining, barking and wagging her tail excited to get out and go play. I trust these guys with my dogs life and highly recommend to anyone looking for a good daycare to take their fur baby!

IF I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE A 0 I WOULD. DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG HERE!!!When I came to pick up my dog I happened to park on the side and I was able to see the back where all the dogs were playing. One of the workers named Becca came out of the back door( the one with mid length straight black hair ) to grab someone’s dog. The dogs were doing what dogs do and were jumping on the door to get in. The lady couldn’t get in so she GRABBED A DOG BY THE SCRUFF lifted it up and literally threw it, the whole time she was doing that the dog was yelping and crying in pain. The worst part about it is that she did this to two other dogs as well. When you take your dog to a daycare or anywhere where they offer dog services, you shouldn’t have to worry or even think about someone abusing your dog or any dog in general. Even though none of the three dogs were mine, one of them could’ve been and just thinking that gets me upset. Things like this make you wonder what else goes on here when nobody is there or when they think no one is watching. It also makes you wonder how often stuff like this happens. This same woman always has an attitude when I go there but I never thought much about it until now. If you really don’t like your job that much to the point where you literally ABUSE THE DOGS YOU ARE PAID TO WATCH then DO EVERYONE AND FAVOR AND QUIT. I’m NEVER taking my dog back here and I’m NEVER EVER RECOMMENDING this place to ANYONE. It’s such a shame to have witnessed something like this especially since you’ve been taking your dog here for the past 2 years. I doubt that all the employees here abuse dogs like that, but even just one dog abuser like Becca is one too many. The fact that my dog has been going here for 2 years makes me hope that my dog hasn’t been a victim of this cruel and sickening woman. I’ll be sure to warn more people about this place because it’s just straight out outrageous and no dog deserves that type of treatment.

5 stars all around!!! I am very paranoid/anxious about where/who I leave my dog with. Nova is very high energy and almost overly friendly. During the meet and greet, they assured me she would be fine at daycare. (Sometimes she is friendly to the point of pushy with other dogs) I have done the daycare option multiple times and my dog always comes back EXHAUSTED. Thats A LOT for her since she has endless energy. I have also boarded a couple days when I went on a trip and I called to check in on her. They were happy to give me an update and answer all my questions. They are VERY patient and respectful which I really appreciate. Even when you can tell they are exhausted (as running a daycare can be tiresome), they still give it their all. If you are considering daycare, I would 100% recommend the package deal! I really love Deb, Jim, Melissa, and they have another helper I forget the name of. They truly enjoy what they do and I cant wait to bring my dog back! Jim creates all of the toys for the dogs in his workshop and it was really cool to see.

I have seen such a positive change in my pup since starting. This was the best decision I have made in reguards to dog sitting. The staff is forthcoming, direct, and honest. I think this is important when leaving my pup in someone care. The staff is friendly and helpful. I love that grooming services are in house- so convenient. Most importantly my dog (1 year old English bulldog) absolutely LOVES going. She tried to jump out the car window to get inside quicker on our third visit. Lol! She comes back tired and happy. She has learned how to interact with all dog sizes. Keeping her socialized with both people and other animals is very important to me. Going here has even helped stop resource aggression (food and water) with my girl

Very kind and caring for the dogs and their humans. They do a great job with bathing, cutting, and the dogs seem to enjoy it.Even tho I travel 70 miles round trip, I will continue to take Cody up there as he seems to enjoy the services they provide.Also, the price is right.

EXTREMELY unprofessional. I am a first time dog owner who knows nothing about “hot spots” dogs can get. I picked up my 6 month baby puppy there last week and she had 2 big scabs around her collar. Which were likely due to her filthy collar (which got filthy here at Barks on the Blvd) I mean to the point you can’t even see the bright blue it was! Being frantic, I posted to social media pictures and concern as the place was closed. A staff member saw my post, commented without informing she was a staff member who cared for my dog telling me about hotspots. So being informative was fine and actually appreciated But instead of taking that opportunity to be professional with her customer she went behind my back bad mouthing me to another friend that wrote on the status, requesting that he don’t tell me she works for Barks. Weird!!!! What was she trying to hide? She called me a liar and said I was “probably lying so much because my dog couldn’t stay one more night” when I was obviously writing because I was upset and confused!!! These “hotspots” if thats even what they were are huge and ugly, almost resembled a bite in my eyes but I guess more people thought it looked like a burn. Vet said which I have in writting that it was probably from “horseplay with another dog” And the daycare was closed for the night. So instead of calling barks as planned the next morning to inquire about what happened, I woke up to this nonsense from a staff member!!!! So maybe nothing did happen there but unfortunately they have an extremely immature, SNEAKY and unprofessional individual who is a main care taker of the dogs mind you representing them. Is that the kind of people you want watching your beloved fur babies?!Can’t really trust to get truthful answers when that is the kind of people you have running it. I was also called a horrible customer. Lol. Which is comical. Such a bad customer, I haven’t even asked for my money back after this horrid traumatic experience.

If you are looking for a doggie day care this truly is the best place in East Syracuse. Clean, staff is great with your pets. Lots of room in & outdoors to run around & play. No other place offers what this place does for your baby in East Syracuse area like blue collar doggie day care.

I would never take my dog here after what me and my daughter witnessed! I could not believe what i saw ... i was gonna bring my dog in but while i was out side i saw some of the dogs being let out by the side door i assume by the owner as it was him who i spoke with. I then witnessed him hit and kick the dogs .. i dont no if this is normal in these kinds of places but i no i wouldnt want my dog being smacked around all day it was absolutely diabolical and me and my daughter were very upset as we are both animal lovers. I called to speak with the owner who was very angry prolly that he had been caught! He told me he was breaking up a fight which was a total lie as i saw the whole thing, then hung up the phone. Now he has put a blue cover around the fence so you cannot see his abuse. I have never left any reviews on any business before but i felt that this was too serious to keep to myself. (And just to let u no i havent rated you any stars apparently it wont let me write a review with one.) maybe he was having a bad day, even so abuse is abuse. I feel bad for the people who leave there dogs there and carry on with there day not knowing if there dogs been smacked up.” Any way i’m sure its a safe and fun place otherwise”

My dog whimpers from excitement in the car the whole way to doggie daycare. She loves the staff (when she’s normally very timid around people) and gets a lot of her energy out playing with the other dogs. She comes home exhausted!

My dogs love it here! Always come home n sleep like babies... plus watching them on the camera system is reassuring

I love taking my dog here! The staff are so kind and he is so excited to see them each day!

Do NOT bring your dogs to this business. They apparently do not know how to treat animals here. Severely disgusted with their unprofessional and reckless behavior.

Loved the care my dog had when she was boarded there. When I picked her up she was perfect and happy

Friendly staff, flexible, affordable and Dio loves to go hang out with his friends and he can get his grooming done while hes there. Highly recommended.

Awesome spot that even lets you check in through their live camera feeds. The dogs seem to have endless activities and the workers actually like being there.

Bruno comes home exhausted and so relax that means he had a great day! I recommend and affordable prices. 100 %

Fast, friendly service @ a great price! They groomed my Pomeranian dog better than petco and pet smart at a fraction of the cost!

Kind and caring. Our dog loves going to play with the other kids ( dogs).He is exhausted when he gets home.

The staff are fantastic, very knowledgeable and take very good care of your dog. I strongly recommend them.

Friendly staff and fun place for my pup. He loves it here!

Great place, friendly staff. I liked their new customer incentive. Lots of room for dogs.

Beats theirs dogs out back. You can see a woman and man out there hurting the dogs

Very awesome company, we would use them more often if we lived closer.

I wouldn’t recommend... saw a staff member hit my dog with a mop on the camera and sent him across the floor I won’t be going back

The staff is so friendly and helpful! I love taking my dog here!

Facility is clean and staff is awesome. Would recommend.

Terrible. These people do not care about dogs.

The lady who greeted me with our dog made us feel at home walking in the door, our dog started a day later and is totally happy and well cared for. Great place great staff.

Very friendly. Grooming was perfect.

Best doggy day care around

Disgusting

Abusive!!!! Do not take your fur babies here!!!!

Caring... safe... and fun place

Melissa is the best!
