 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Grant has been amazing for my dog Piper and helping her to open up more. Since I started taking her there last year, she has built up so much confidence and she clearly has fun every time she goes. Grant is very flexible with my schedule and communicative with updates and pictures. I know when the time comes that I need to board her, that she will have a great time and be in good hands.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Grant was very understanding to Oso’s needs ( small puppy). Oso seemed super content and just kept rolling in a pile of leaves and dirt (didn’t want to
leave when it was time to go)  I’m sure he enjoyed his time there !

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My Blue & I love Barkingham Place!!! He used to hate going to his old daycare and now he jumps out of my car in the mornings to go to his play days. Grant is responsive, dependable and so helpful with managing different schedules, also he sends the best pictures throughout the day!!! I have already recommended Barkingham place to one of my best friends and her dog loves it too, I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a doggy daycare or boarding.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been bringing my 4 month boxer to grant once a week for almost 2 months now and he takes amazing care of her. Every time we arrive and she see’s grant, she starts happily hopping towards him, ready to go play with her friends. She has developed great social skills with Grants daycare, I definitely recommend taking your dog here.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Grant and Barkingham Place are THE BEST!! I was so nervous the first time I dropped off our new pup (adopted at 9 months), but she had the best time, made so many friends, played all day and couldn't wait to go back! When I drop her off now, she jumps out of the car, runs to Grant, and basically says, "Momma who??" When we tell her she is going to "school," she gets so excited! This is just what we needed for our pup (and us) and we are so happy we found this place!
