Amazing Care and Service! I can't say enough great things about Bark University! My Labradoodle absolutely loves going here for daycare, overnight stays, and grooming. The staff is incredibly friendly, professional, and genuinely cares about the dogs. Every time I drop my pup off, I know they’re in the best hands—having fun, getting plenty of attention, and staying safe. The grooming services are top-notch as well! My dog always comes back looking and smelling fantastic, with the perfect cut and a happy attitude. It’s clear the groomers take their time and treat each dog with care. I highly recommend this place to any pet parent looking for a trustworthy and loving place for their dog!

My dog LOVES it here. We started with beginner training- Candy and her assistant were so helpful and attentive. We now take him to daycare at least once a week and he cant wait for them to take him to the back to play with his friends. It was nice that they had a daycare assessment to make sure any new dog will enjoy and do well and be a good fit. It's awesome to see the pictures they post during the day and I'm so happy he enjoys it so much! You can tell he has a blast. He was very happy at boarding when we went out of town recently- which eases any worries as it was our first time away since we adopted him. We will also have them trim his nails sometimes during daycare- and they do a very nice job. I highly recommend it here!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars all the way! We were babysitting our daughter’s rescue dog, Ellie, while daughter and s-i-l went on vacation. They had recently moved to the Chicago area. We wanted Ellie to become comfortable at Bark University so the kids would have a safe, reliable place to leave her occasionally with their busy schedules. This place is filled with people who genuinely care about dogs—from Candy, the owner, to Dahlia and the rest of the wonderful team. Ellie was understandably scared at first. She had been a street dog and had difficult experiences in her past. The staff took their time introducing her to different dogs, carefully figuring out which personalities she was most comfortable with. I was so impressed by the amount of love, patience, care, and attention they gave her. Ellie did incredibly well. What surprised us even more was the difference we began noticing outside of daycare. Even though she was only going once a week for a few hours, she became noticeably calmer when seeing other dogs on our walks. Normally, she would bark at them, but she has been doing so much better. The prices are also extremely reasonable—$30 for a half day and $40 for a full day. I especially love that on longer days they feed the dogs and have the dogs take a one-hour nap/rest break from 12–1. Bark University is truly a gem of a place.

Wonderful place, my dog enjoys coming here. Candy really loves and understands dogs! Even though a bit far for us, we keep coming here every time.

5/5

Candy and her team have been phenomenal. We’ve trusted them with training, boarding and grooming for our dog for more than 9 years now. It’s been fun to watch them grow over the years, but never lose that personal touch!
