The Barker Lounge East Brunswick, New Jersey

Really great place to bring your dog for a play day or overnight stay !! Reasonably rates & grooming too

We have been using The Barker Lounge for a few years; both as doggy daycare and boarding. The greet Leo with love and attend to all his needs; especially needing lots of attention. They also sent us updates and pictures and let us know we were missed. They are the best.

This was the second stay for our Cavapoo, Teddie and we were incredibly pleased with The Barker Lounge. The staff patiently listened each time we called for an update and sent us emails with pictures throughout her stay. We could see from the pictures that our puppy was extremely happy and having a lot of fun while we were gone. She is also exhausted when she comes home from so much playing. In addition to Boarding we are going to sign Teddie up for Doggie Day Care once a week so that she can continue to play with her friends. I would highly recommend The Barker Lounge and the entire staff!

I'm pretty sure our dog looks forward to my wife and I getting away for the weekend on occasion, because he gets to have fun at the Barker Lounge! Great, enthusiastic staff, super-clean, and just the right mix of fun and downtime. The best!!

We picked up our daughter's dog after her wedding. Harper was exhausted but always happy to be with her friends when she is there. The staff is always wonderful and friendly.

Enjoyed the emails and pictures while he was there.

The staff is great, and nice. My dog loves going there and never had any issues.

Great place for the little guys ! Employees very friendly and great with our dogs . They do a great job grooming and with care

My dog has the best time with her friends. She comes home pooped! The price and value are both great and the staff is amazing

They take excellent care of your dog.

If I could give ten stars, I would! We put our goldendoodle for boarding and grooming at the Barker Lounge and he absolutely loved it! The staff were so nice and took such great care of our dog. Our goldendoodle also had a lot of matting and Julie, the groomer said she will do her best to get them out. My family and I were all away and we got a call from her telling us she has no choice but to shave him. We were nervous and afraid how he’ll look after getting shaved, but let me tell you, she did an extraordinary job even with a full shave. He is evenly cut and he looks adorable. We will definitely be coming back again!

Bella needed a really short shave to clean up her long winter coat and to even out her fur since it had been shaved in some spots for minor surgery and to get ready for summer. She looks perfect and she's cool and comfortable! She came home happy after her daycare and grooming!

We love The Barker Lounge but more importantly our dogs love it here.

Finding this place was the best gift for us & Cannoli. Cannoli is a ball of energy & that’s putting it mildly & she has such a great time at the barker lounge. The staff are truly loving & caring of all the animals & it shows. Spotless environment even with all the dogs they service. Their grooming lady is top knotch. Pomeranians are not the easiest breed to groom but cannoli has never looked or smelled better after getting done by them. Highly recommend.

Great staff! Treated my pup like he was their own!

Our pup Cooper LOVES Barker! He's a very high energy 9 month old puppy who has been going to Barker 2-3 times per week for the past few months and the socialization and opportunity to play all day has been just perfect for him. While he loves being at home, he never wants to leave Barker at the end of the day. I'm so grateful to have found such a wonderful facility which enables me to work productively knowing he's in his happy place. The staff has been so kind and warm as well, often reporting at the end of the day on something he did. Thank you to the entire Barker Lounge of EB family!

Everyone at the Barker Lounge is amazing, from ownership to office personnel to Doggy Daycare personnel. I wouldn't leave my pup Rocky with anyone else!

Love the people and service! We moved from North Jersey in March. We have a rescue who is a SUPER MUTT! She has a double coat. When she comes home she is so happy you can see it in her mannerism. She comes home bounces and smiling. To mee that’s say a lot. Plus she love the doggy care! Thanks guys!

My dog is always happy to arrive at barker lounge and tired when she leaves. They do a great job of keeping the dogs entertained and tiring them out. The staff is always on top of their game and they know my dog by name when I walk in the door. Bring your dog here for the day or a weekend break, great spot!

Great place for your dog to have fun! My dog truly enjoys his time there. Thanks A lot Barker Lounge!

Lucy has a BLAST every time she goes to Barker Lounge. Truly the best facility for your pup.. great caring staff.. I would trust them with my girl any time!

I left my puppy at the lounge for the meet and greet. No pictures or videos are provided about his day and my puppy was limping after coming home. My puppy also got ear infection. Never ever sending him there. The grooming service is still decent but boarding is a NO NO.

This daycare does not supervise dogs when they are off leash. My dog and another dog were attacked by another dog at the facility during daycare. I came back to pick up my dog with multiple punctures on his body. This incident happened at 4pm, i picked up my dog at 7pm. Not once did they think of calling me to inform me about what happened. My dog walked out of the daycare limping and the owner tried to shrug it off and make it sound like it wasn't a big deal. I did not want to go back here and the owner refused to refund me for the rest of the package that was unused. Careless and unprofessional.

I love this place for daycare for my dogs. We've been going here for almost 2 years now. The staff is always nice and the dogs love them. Prices are reasonable compared to other places in the area, especially since they have a nice fenced in outdoor area.

Trust them with my pup

Great care for our beloved dog. Clean well taken care of

Small. Not much to choose from

Our dog seemed to like it and came home very tired. However, she also came back with kennel cough, but that is not something that can be controlled by Barker Lounge. I know kennel cough is very contagious and it is at the discretion of the dog owner to not bring their sick dog in. Barker lounge was very understanding when I had to cancel a day care day due to her cough. The staff was very nice and seemed to know how to handle my leash reactive dog. I would definitely bring her back again

Very friendly people and my dog seemed to have a good time at daycare, she came exhausted from all day play. My only wish is that they had cameras so I could watch her from time to time while at work and check in on her. That would make this a 5 star review.

Owners and staffs are very nice and they know my Kobe very well! Kobe comes home exhausted every time he goes! He loves everyone there! Julie, the groomer is fantastic! She took time to explain to me what she would do with Kobe and did the exact haircut that I wanted! Highly recommended!
