Camp Barkalot

Family owned business :3 I always bring in my pups for boarding when I go out of town. They always have a great time, and come home happy and clean. I love that the staff posts pictures of my pups and never gets annoyed when I call to check in lol. Only improvement could be some sound proofing in the main area, the little pups make it hard to hear when checking in. If you're looking for a safe place for your fur babies I recommend Camp Barkalot

This is an amazing dog boarding place. The staff here is extremely kind and flexible. I've been dropping my dog off here for the past two years with no issues. Highly recommend this place if you are looking to board your furry friends.

My partner and I had a very unprofessional experience here. We had our dog scheduled to stay here for two weekends in a row. After the first weekend when my partner picked our dog up, the woman at the front desk told him about a fight that our dog supposedly initiated (thankfully no dogs were injured). Our dog has never attacked a dog ever and so we were confused.

She has also been there at least three times before and there was never an issue. My partner asked if they would still be able to watch her for the following weekend. The women said that she didn't know, but that we were going to get a call from them soon. We were prepared for the possibility that she may not be able to come back and understood that sometimes dogs aren't a good fit at certain kennels.

We did not expect to receive an incredibly rude and unnecessary phone call the next day. They could have told us that she couldn't come back they day we picked her up, but decided to antagonize us on the phone instead. We told them on the phone that our dog has never had any aggression issues in the past and their response was, "well she is certainly no angel".

What adult working with animals says something like this? If you work with animals, it is expected that you don't develop some weird vendetta against them (especially when you are getting paid to take good care of them). If they approached us in a way that was professional at all then I would probably feel ok about this place, but this experience definitely made me question how this place views and treats their animals.

We've been bringing our blue heeler to Camp Barkalot for years and love it! Even after three years, he still whines with excitement when we pull up. The staff is very friendly, the facility is clean, and the passes are affordable. Highly recommend!

I have been sending my dogs to Camp Barkalot for over 4 years now and we love it. It's a family owned business and they really run it that way. My dogs are so happy when they are dropped off and I get to see pics posted on social media throughout the day. It's affordable and they really care about my dogs.

Brought my 8 month old puppy there for a trial day and when I went to pick her up and just see how she was playing with the other dogs they lady at the front desk called back and told them to bring Bella out, the guy James walked towards her and she ran away so he picked her up she got even more scared and he literally chucked her on the floor. NEVER bring your dogs there i will not be going back my blood is boiling because of how disgusted I am.

I was worried. My dog was not used to boarding but they made it easy. Took the time to help Limcoln feel at home and tried both big dogs and medium to help him feel safe. He is medium but felt safer with the big dogs. I recommend this place because I could tell they really care about dogs.

Twice now my pup has come home with something in his fur. Once was after I paid for a bath. When I got home I had to get him another bath. Checking in and checking out is always a breeze and employees are always organized and friendly. Last visit he came home with two small puncture wounds. While their web tends make one believe overnight stays price includes their own sleeping area.

Unfortunately several are in the same sleeping quarters. I also was no one is staying in the facility overnight, so if a problem arises they won't know until next morning. I agree with others that dogs don't get a lot of attention as far as play time.

If you are looking for a business that still offers exceptional customer service look no further. I've been going here for 5+ years with no complaints. The owners are always there ensure a great experience. Cleaner than any other facility I've taken my dog to.

My dog has been coming here for years, we love it their. Always comes home tired and happy from playing all day long with the other puppy's.

Read before using Camp Barkalot: I can't express how upset my husband and I are. We left our 4 year old dog and my mom's 8 year old dog at barkalot for a week while we were out of town (both of whom have been going to barkalot for around 4 years). We picked them up and nothing was said, so we returned home and got a call from Barkalot the next day.

We called back and we're immediately ripped into by Kris the owner (blonde) about how our dog was in time out for the majority of the week he was there. No one called. No one texted. Our large dog was left in a small cage and no one cared to let us know. Not only that, but Kris made it clear that she's the owner and manager and that "it's time for us to find another place". Steven, her son, has even said to us over and over what a good dog he is and that he's so easy.

This doesn't add up. Most concerning is that since camp, he has now been cowering in the corner anytime a man or boy comes into the house. Anyone who knows our lab knows that he's the most easy going and relaxed dog and he's so sweet. Now he shivers in the corner and poops himself when men come into the home. THIS IS NOT LIKE MY DOG. I am concerned about what is going on at Barkalot and will be letting all of the people I've referred know as well. STEER CLEAR OF THIS PLACE.

We LOVE Camp Barkalot. Been going several times a week for years. We tried out several doggy daycares before finding a home here. Our dog loves it and spends work days here which makes it very nice when we need to board overnight and he is already comfortable. The staff is so great and my (unfriendly & anxious) dog genuinely loves them. Love getting all the Facebook photos they post through the day of my boy.

Love Camp Barkalot. The staff are so friendly and kind. My dog loves coming here - she gets so excited as soon as I pull in the parking lot. She always comes home happy & exhausted. Their grooming services are great too. She comes home in a new bandana every time.

This is a great dog daycare and boarding facility. They're caring, positive, and polite. We've taken our dog here many times over the past year. When we bring her to daycare or pick her up, it hardly ever takes more than 60 seconds, unless we want to speak with the staff, in which case they're always available.

I'm a new dog mommy and had a very last minute trip outside of the state. I had so much trouble finding a place for my pup to board. I was able to drop of my pup a few hours at Camp Barkalot to see how he would do with the other pups and then we were able to drop him off the next day for 3 nights. I felt 100% comfortable leaving my puppy with Camp Barkalot. It's not fancy but for the price and for the quality of staff the place is SO worth it. We picked up our pup and he was worn out from having the time of his life at Camp Barkalot. I now plan on dropping off the pup every day during the week for a few hours!

I have been taking my pup here since he was a baby and now he's 8! The attention to detail and the love that they show my pet day in and day out is truly something that can only be done whole heartedly. I believe that, that comes from the foundation that's been set by the owner. I will continue to take my pup here and recommend it to anyone in need of a good and reliable place to board your pet or simply take him to daycare. Thanks camp bark a lot

I've taken my two mini doodles here twice now and they've loved it. Both times they've been, they've been taken care of and worn out after each day. I love how they have a designated area for the little dogs to wander around and play. My girl one is skittish and shy but she's not there and warms up quickly. My boy sometimes bites and he's usually playing with all the other dogs being playful.

Their prices are very competitive and great for long periods of times. I've taken them to 6 or 7 other places in California and this place is by far the safest and friendliest for my dogs. They don't put them in a kennel all day and take several pictures during the day in Facebook because they don't have a webcam so that's nice as well. Honestly I've thought about just letting them do the day camp here and there!

I may have left a review before a couple of years ago, but this place deserves a second stellar review! If I could give these guys more stars, I would. We started leaving our dog, Lincoln, here when we go on extended trips a few years ago after picking him up from a trip at the Vet's when we left him at Old Farm Pet Resort. We were reticent about leaving him anywhere after that experience, but here, they assured us Lincoln was in good hands.

They are the best. Lincoln loves going there and they take very good care of him while he is there. I'm able to look on Instagram while I'm gone, even, to see how he is. Very grateful to have a place we trust to take our little buddy! Thank you!

I have taken all of my dogs to Camp Barkalot. Their staff really care for my little guys. We rescued the oldest member of our family and she was always taken by his other family to a place in Cottonwood heights. We tried that for a couple of times, thinking that she would be familiar with them and their staff, my poor Shilo would jump on me, and would try to leave, I would leave in tears, the third time we decided to leave her at our favorite place, Camp Barkalot. Shilo was a different girl, she was at ease and happy and wanted to play with the other dogs, she ran to the staff and was very content.

Our furry family members know when they are loved, Shilo knew she was in good hands. Camp Barkalot posts pictures of the pooches on Facebook and it gives us such a peace of mind! You can see the dogs smiles on their cute faces! I trust Camp Barkalot 100% with my baby girl! I do recommend this loving place.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Camp Barkalot. Terrific people, great prices, and complete peace of mind!

I have been to a few other day cares and this one is absolutely my favorite and my puppy loves coming here always has fun and comes home tired! I would definitely recommend this place! thank you for your great service!

I can't express what an awesome place this is. my brother is going through a divorce and needing a place to keep his dog while he secured a new place to live. the staff is so warm and accommodating. They loved his dog up and helped him transition her without hassle even after extending her stay. I would recommend this place to anyone! They Are wonderful!

I left my two beautiful cats, Barney and KitKat, at the Kitty camp while I was gone for 4 days. They looked happy and healthy enough when I returned. I had also left dry food and wet food for them and they seemed well fed (they have free food but my cats can be choosy). They have two adjoining tiny rooms filled with cat trees and hidey holes and snoozing spots.

They were the only place I could find where my kitties won't be put in a tiny cage and instead were left to roam free in two rooms. Plus they are cheaper than most places. Will surely leave my cats here if I ever need to go away for the weekend again. So happy to find this pet hotel.

We had such an amazing experience! We have a 7 months french bulldog and we were visiting Salt Lake City for the weekend and our dog had a blast. The stuff is super friendly and you can tell they truly love dogs. Thank you for taking care of Speck!

This is an over due review. Had to go to vegas and could only take one dog with us. We left our weimaraner here. After lots of research, this was the only place i was comfortable with. Got to leave Oliver here for a "trial" run to see how he fared with other dogs. We adopted him from the shelter and he had a multitude of problems including anxiety.

It took a while but he got along with the dogs. He did get overwhelmed with the big dog group so they let him stay with the small/medium size dogs, which was better. He had his own kennel, which was great since he liked being in his own space. He also escaped his kennel at night (the workers had video footage of him climbing out). But the kennels are inside a warehouse so it wasnt a big deal. He escaped into the play area. Workers thought it was funny. So did we. Also left my chihuahua here during oliver's trial stay. She stayed in the front with the ladies.

Nope! The people are extraordinarily nice. We feel the dogs weren't really watched. Over crowded facility with teeny tiny outdoor area. We tried and tried again to love it but then we picked up our beloved furry family member with a mangled color and lack of reasoning from the staff. Makes us sad and curious what else went on while we brought our puppy there.beware

It's hard to review because I don't know exactly how my dog was cared for over his six day stay. Like any boarding, Fido cannot recount his experience with much clarity. Therefore, I'm left to go on the observations I made during pickup and dropoff, price and service. Overall I would not return, but that isn't to say it wouldn't work for others.

There are TONS of dogs here during the day. I spied 40+ dogs loose in the free area, and another dozen little ones behind the desk. It's incredible to behold the free area actually. First time I've seen a "herd" of dogs. You could damn near walk across them wall to wall. This leads me to believe that it's unlikely my dog got much TLC.

It was also much louder than any kennel I've been to. Since there are so many dogs all in the same area, rest assured that 5-10 of them are violently barking at any given time, filling the sparse concrete warehouse. For these human ears, it was tough to bear. The smell is also something awful. The densest fog of disinfectant cleaner hanging in the air.

I expect it at a kennel, but this was really above and beyond what I've experienced before. It makes me think that they don't have great ventilation and/or the proper amount of space for the sheer quantites of pee and poop they're dealing with. The service is very good. Front of house staff seem to really enjoy their jobs, and I got a great vibe from them.

They seem well-organized, and your dog is given an ID tag around his/her collar (nice touch). They seemed very competent dealing with the food as well. Prices are a bit high at around $28/night. If I thought my dog was getting more attention it would be well worth it. But they're dealing with such huge numbers it looked, smelt, felt and sounded too much like a factory system.

When Fido came home he avoided me for a couple days and was unusually withdrawn though he's been kenneled multiple times. I don't feel comfortable trying to name a specific reason for this beyond the inherent stress of boarding, but thought it was important to mention. And frankly it does figure into my overall perception.

Great daycare and boarding. The owners are on the premises often and you can tell they have a love of animals. One thing I appreciate is requirement that your pet be current on all vaccinations. I've never had my dogs come home sick. The prices are great and our dog comes home thoroughly exhausted. I know my pup loves it here because he practically drags me through the front doors.
