Best doggy daycare ever, staff are amazing and attentive. All dogs are vetted and immunized in advance. They are very accommodating and caring. Your dog is in good hands. My dog is treated like a king.

These team at The Barking Lot takes such good care of the animals who attend daycare and are boarded overnight. You can breath easy knowing they have your pets well being at the top of their list of priorities

I cannot say enough wonderful things about TBL. As a new puppy owner I was nervous and overwhelmed about my boy, he was a rescue and we needed some help communicating. He started going to school and TBL and we have never looked back 3 years later. He gets social activity in a clean and safe facility, and has the absolute best time. I have used other services including overnights and their training courses multiple times. I work at a veterinary hospital and trust their staff implicitly. My pup cannot wait to get there when we go, and the team has always loved him like their own! They also do activities with the kiddos and picture updates throughout the day. We wouldn’t trade TBL for the world! 10/10 recommend!

Above and Beyond - Knowledgeable Caring Staff - Top Notch Facilities This is by far the best place I have ever trusted to watch my dog. The Barking Lot was my dogs introduction to doggy daycare when she was around 2 years old. She’s now 5 1/2 and we still use the Barking Lot - even though we moved away from the Hamden area. I tried 5 daycares/boarding facilities closer to our new home, but none have made my dog as relaxed and happy and tuckered out as the Barking Lot. If I ever need to board my dog we go here. Taylor and Lexi have always been so accommodating, communicative, and confident whenever I’ve flooded them with whatever new ailment/owner anxiety Ivy has been dealing with. Ivy even had her first ever seizure while boarding at the Barking Lot this past January and even though I was unable to come get her immediately - Taylor provided the most above and beyond care, monitoring her condition, giving her one on one time and keeping me updated throughout the rest of her stay. I trust the staff at the Barking Lot more than anyone to watch my dog. Worth every penny, and every minute of extra driving to know Ivy is having a fun, safe time.

I absolutely adore The Barking Lot. The staff is super nice and they keep the facilities super clean. I have loved picking them up and hearing how much the staff loved my dogs. The last time I picked them up, two staff members made sure to give them all the hugs and kisses goodbye. It melted my heart! I’ve boarded my two dogs there twice now and I could tell they were well taken care of. Both of my dogs are rescues, but my littlest one has a lot of trust issues and has an extended process for meeting new people in the home. I was very worried when I did a trial run prior to boarding (which they require) that they weren’t going to pass the test. If it didn’t work out, I didn’t know what I was going to do. I truly believe the staff is so well trained and understanding that they passed because the staff made my dogs feel safe and welcomed. Once my dogs feel comfortable with you, they are complete love bugs and all they want is to love on you, cuddle you, and play. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out that they offer individual rooms for dogs that can’t handle being around all the other dogs and noises. And since my bigger dog is considered in a big dog group, and she’s not ok
