Bark Republic North Providence, Rhode Island

Our boy, Travis, is a very energetic 11 month old Boston and we could not be happier with every aspect of Bark Republic. The staff has been amazing. They guided us though the initial process and temperament testing day and it was a breeze. The owner and staff are all very professional and fun, the hours are great, rates are affordable, pick up and drop off could not be any easier and Travis cannot wait to get in the car and go! I researched a ton and checked out a few places before finding Bark Republic and they have proven to be the best of the best. So grateful to each and every gal at this wonderful place.

My dog, Barley, and I love Bark Republic! Barley is a rescue American Foxhound who is *extremely* energetic - and we realized very quickly that multiple 1-hour walks per day wasn't cutting it for our crazy boy. Close friends of ours also attend Bark Republic, so we decided to give them a try. The staff was super responsive and friendly when I reached out to inquire about getting Barley enrolled, and they scheduled us for a disposition test within just a couple of days. I was nervous about how he would do, because Barley sometimes likes to play rough--and even though he doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body, I was worried that his behavior might be interpreted that way. I talked things through with the staff member who tested him, and she was totally understanding and knowledgeable about dog behavior. She explained that they place dogs into play groups based on size, energy, etc. - and reassured me that Barley wouldn't be set loose onto tiny dogs who don't want to wrestle. The first thing I appreciated once Barley started attending daycare regularly was how much the staff communicates. They post pictures of the dogs daily so you can see your pup and all their happy dog friends, and they report back to you about how their day went when you arrive for pickup. Early on in his Bark Republic days, Barley did have a few hiccups-- including playing *too hard* to the point of making himself vomit (so they started implementing breaks into his day so that he had to rest periodically), and getting so overstimulated that he started chewing on walls (which we later learned was due to a dental issue that we were able to resolve with our vet). Despite these initial issues, the staff remained hopeful that Barley would adjust and be okay--and they took measures in the meantime to ensure his comfort and safety. A few weeks later, Barley was a changed man. He learned that daycare was part of his routine, which meant he didn't need to go quite as hard during his hours there. He doesn't need to be given as many breaks because he allows himself time to lay down and catch his breath, and his destructive behavior has stopped entirely--both at daycare and at home. Even though he only goes twice per week, it really shows how much daycare has done for this energetic boy. We still walk him on his off days, of course, but his overall energy is much more manageable. Not only that, he's gotten so accustomed to following commands at daycare that he's a better listener at home now too! When I first learned about doggie daycare, I have to admit that I sometimes gawked at the prices... but I can say wholeheartedly that it's worth every penny. Bark Republic is priced similarly to other daycares in the area, but you just can't beat how much they love and care for the dogs. The facility is clean, spacious, totally secure (which is a huge relief for this mama, since Barley can be a bit of a Houdini) - but most importantly the staff is incredible. Barley has always been a very good boy, but the team at Bark Republic has truly helped him become his best, happiest self.

I’ve been bringing my dog here since moving to NP and cannot say enough good things about them! He absolutely loves it and comes home worn out from all the fun! They also get the best pictures of the dogs, always smiling! I would recommend to everyone

Our 2 yr old girl, Ella, was adopted in Feb of this yr. Due to a high level of separation anxiety we could not leave her at home alone, even crated. Ella and her Mama and Daddy thank our lucky stars for BarkRepublic. With the love and compassion of her “teachers” and the fun and excitement she and her good friends share (daily for her), Ella has thrived. She’s come out of her shell and Mama and Daddy could not be more pleased. Ella gives BarkRepublic 2 thumbs up… or is it 4? Hmmm.

Professionalism at its best. The staff is attentive, loving and caring and truly enjoys there job. Hannah is always such a pleasure to work with! Thank you for providing such enjoyable days for all the dogs to spend together!!

Oliver has been going to Bark Republic for over a year now and he LOVES it! It makes me feel good to know how well he is taken care of and loved by the staff. It always makes me laugh how excited he is when we pull into the parking lot and then how tired he is when he gets home. Highly recommend! And the daily pics are awesome ????

I’ve been bringing my dog to bark republic since January, and to say she loves it would be an understatement. The staff is personal and professional. They update you on everything your dog does in the day, even including pictures. They saved me a lot of stress during the work week knowing my dog is going to have a great day that will tire her out for most of the upcoming night. Would highly recommend.

You’re always greeted with a smile walking into Bark. There’s never a day that we don’t take Ruby in and she’s not trying to jump out of our grasp and go see all of their staff. They genuinely care about your dog and they go out of their way to show it. This is definitely Ruby’s home away from home. They treat her like family and we couldn’t have asked for a better establishment so perfect for her! We also love the picture updates we get of Ruby and her puppy pals :)

They're so great! Our puppy absolutely loved it there.

The people here obviously love their animals. Our Jazzy loves it there. Very clean facility, and super helpful, friendly staff. Definitely recommend.

We love Bark Republic! Our dogs are very routine oriented and tend to have a bit of separation anxiety but the staff always goes above and beyond to make sure our pups are happy and comfortable. My dogs cannot get through those doors fast enough in the morning and throw a fit over leaving in the evening. My favorite part is that they post pictures of the dogs online and I can see that my fur babies are having a great time! My dogs mean the world to me so I'm ecstatic that there is a place that I can take them and leave them knowing they're going to have a blast and be safe.

We bring our dog Leo here and my dog doesn’t like going anywhere but he loves it at bark republic! The employees are professional and gives me tremendous feedback on my dog. Highly recommend!

Started bringing our toy Aussie Sydney here a few weeks ago to get her energy out during the work week and socialize her more and she loves it. She comes home exhausted and happy. Every time we go to bark republic she is happy to see the staff (especially Mike). After seeing how well she was doing we decided to also take our miniature dachshund Murphy who has mild social anxiety and it has helped him socialize with other animals and the staff. It has also helped drain his energy as well. We have never boarded our animals due to being nervous but we know if we have to travel or go away we can leave them here safely. Bark republic has been wonderful from day one and we are so glad we found a place that loves our fur babies as much as we do.

My Brody loves Bark Republic! I am constantly recommending to friends and family. Back in July, Brody was boarded at Bark Republic for 9 nights while we were on vacation. They posted daily pictures, which served as an added bonus and helped ease our minds while away. When I was able to find service to call and check in on him, the staff allowed us to talk to him over the phone! They are always so friendly, and it is evident they care for each and every dog that walks through their doors. Brody also goes to daycare at Bark. He knows when we pull into the parking lot... he immediately starts whining to go inside! 5 stars for sure... Check them out!

Mike and the team at bark republic are amazing! Thank you for making it a second home for my Golden Doodle Charles!! We can't wait to bring him again next week. Bobbie

Outstanding! Caring! Fantastic! Loving! Trustworthy! Those are just some of the words that come to mind when I think about how happy and thrilled my fiancé and I that we have found and have Bark Republic to watch after our Chocolate Lab. We both work 8-9 hours a day so it’s tough for us to have out 2 yr Lab locked up all day, that’s where Bark Republic comes in. They treat him like one of their own, they always greet him by name when he enters and we always get a report of how his day was when we pick him up. The Owner Jess and her staff run a tight ship but the love and care they put into taking care of our dog and everyone else’s dog Just goes to show why they have some many clients and why everyone dog that goes there has the time of their life. We love you guys so much! Thank you! Jess, Ryan & Cooper

If you dog is a member of your immediate family as ours is.. if you consider he or her one of your children. Your lucky you found Bark Republic.. By the time I’m lacing my work boots in the morning my little Meatball is already at the front door waiting patiently.. He knows it’s time to go to daycare.. It’s time to go spend the day playing and hanging out with his friends.. The business is very clean, the people are friendly and very personable. I don’t trust many people with my dog. However Bark Republic is worthy of it, and will always mind my dog. For a reasonable price too! I can’t thank them enough.. Definitely check them out, see for yourself!! #BARKREPUBLIC Thank you for all you do!!!

This place is awesome. Their hours are great, thats always been a hard part for me with other daycare's and my job. The staff is fantastic with my dog Whiskey, he gets so excited when we turn onto the street because he knows hes getting ready to have a great day. They have no crates, so he gets to run around all day long and comes home exhausted after a fun day of running around. No idea how they do it, but they also get the best pictures, the pups are always smiling. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone!

Our dog Rye has been going here for the last six months since we got him - the staff is wonderful, professional, warm and so friendly. It’s so evident to my partner and I how much they care about the pups there. We have both personally worked in daycare and boarding settings before and are extremely picky about who cares for our animals. We can not recommend Bark Republic highly enough. They take the best pictures daily and our little guy comes home tired and happy every night and he always comes home clean. Thank you so much to everyone for their hard work especially through Covid!

I love bringing my dog to bark republic! The staff goes above and beyond and the facility is very clean! My dog loves coming here and he comes home tired from playing with all his friends! I have recommended bark republic to my friends and family! Bring your dog here.. there is no better place!!

I am in the market for a doggy day care for my 18 month old Weirmaraner, while finally getting through on the phone one day the young lady on the phone,(who was very helpful) was answering my questions and we were scheduling a visit. Prior to that visit she was telling me what vaccinations my puppy needed. When I was confused about which ones were needed prior to the visit and prior to acutally staying there, her manager rudely interrupted the call and abruptly screamed into the phone we are busy here, I will call you later today to answer your questions. Well lo and behold he never returned my call and that was about 1 week ago. I guess if they are that rude to people imagine what they do to the puppys who cannot decide for themselves. Oh well now I know to cross them off my list of places to board my puppy.

Best place ever. Everyone's so nice and you can tell they truly love what they do! Plus, the daily pics of all the pups is awesome.

Bark Republic, it’s owner, and staff are incredible! They are professional, friendly, loving, caring, outgoing...I could go on and on with extremely outstanding words but it comes down to Trust. We trust Bark Republic to take care of Cooper, to treat him like family, like one of their own. To give him love and give him the time and care that we can’t give him while we are working. They staff knows him by name and the excitement he exudes when he knows he is going to day care gives us an overwhelming feeling of warmth and happiness. We couldn’t be happier with how close they are to our home and when Cooper comes home he is exhausted from all the fun he has had. That is the main reason why we bring him here—for him to play and have social time so he isn’t home alone waiting for us to come home after a long day. We are so grateful we have such a loving and caring place that gives Cooper all the love and attention he deserves while we work. Thank you! Ryan & Jess

My dog and I love Bark Republic!!! She spends 5 days a week there. The staff is absolutely wonderful. They are always attentive to her needs. She spends her day playing with other dogs in a safe and fun environment and always comes home tired. I highly recommend Bark Republic. Jess and Mike are always available for questions and genuinely care about their clients!!

My puppy, Kylo, began going to Bark Republic about 2 &1/2 weeks ago. The staff is always nice and let's me know he had a great day. Love the added touch of seeing the pictures on Facebook every night. He loves going, waits by the front door to go every morning. He comes home happy and exhausted, which means he keeps himself out of trouble. ????

What a wonderful place, great staffs and a clean facility. My dog Winston loves it, he always knows when we are getting closer to daycare while driving, and is always happy when he comes home. Thank you guys for taking good care of him

My dog, Violet, loves her time at Bark Republic. The staff there is nothing short of amazing. They treat us all like family. I know that my pup is well cared for and happy when she is there. What they have been able to create is so special and I could not imagine a better second home for my girl.

I love this doggie daycare! My boyfriend and I adopted a puppy that had been separated from its mother too young, so he had some really bad puppy habits. The staff had worked with him a great deal and also the social interaction with the other dogs really changed his whole personality. My puppy is very very high energy, and I simply couldn’t physically play/run long enough. After just one month, my puppy is finally happy and adjusting much much better! Also, the staff is so kind. They answer all my questions, and I’m constantly asking them ‘how my pup’s day was, did he eat well, if he made friends etc.’ and they are always so attentive.

I think I love Bark Republic almost as much as my dog does. As soon as we make the turn into the parking lot, he gets so excited and tries to run right in! And he comes home exhausted, which I love! The staff there genuinely cares about Nigel and were sweet enough to check in when he was going through some health issues.

My wife and I have been bringing our dog here for almost a year now. The staff here is great and you can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do. When I pull into the parking lot, he starts to whine and can’t wait to go inside. When I get him out of the car he drags me to the door. Once inside, he continues to whine and tries to run to the play area on his own. I’ll let his actions speaks for themselves. The hours are also great too, 6:30 am to 8:00pm. There are always pictures on their Facebook page at the end of the day so you can see what your dog has been up to during the day. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a daycare for their dog.
