Barking Bliss

I cannot express my gratitude to Yas and his team at Barking Bliss for taking supreme care of my beloved dog. My puppy is very timid of new places and new people and within a short time I was getting videos of her being happy and allowing Yas to houses to pet her. Her ears being perked up and her tail wagging is all I needed to see. It is so clear that Yas loves and cares for dogs. This is the only place I will bring my dog when I have to leave town again.

We normally use a dog daycare in a different city but we were visiting Lake Forest for the day. Our dog, Baymax, was adopted and has a history of moderate separation anxiety from his past. When we brought Baymax to Barking Bliss for the first time, Yas was very patient and took time greeting Baymax and earning his trust. Yas also took time transitioning Baymax to meet the other dogs. I was very happy to receive two text message updates with photos about Baymax during the visit (which was only 5 hours). From the photos, it was clear Baymax got two more chances to go outside while he was there. I also thought it was adorable that there is naptime during the day. We received a photo of Baymax nestled amongst sleeping dogs, fitting in immediately. Yas clearly has good control over the dogs. When we arrived, the dogs barked but only briefly before settling down without even being told to be quiet. It feels like a very positive environment for the dogs without over stimulation. Next time Baymax needs to be looked after in Lake Forest, we would definitely come back to Yas.

Yas and his team at Barking Bliss are everything we were looking for and more for our Baby Bear! We are so attached to our little guy and upon meeting Yas and getting a tour of Barking Bliss we felt immediately comfortable and so happy we found an amazing daycare and staff so attentive and loving to our little Bear! We love how friendly and sweet all of the dogs are and Bear has already made so many friends in his first month at Barking Bliss! We are so grateful for you Yas and your wonderful team! Thank you for being so amazing and caring to our Bear! He always comes home exhausted and SO happy after spending the day with all his doggie friends at daycare. Thank you for poring so much love into what you do it is so apparent how much love you have for all these precious pups!❤️❤️❤️❤️🐻🐶🐾

This was the best sitter we have ever had hands down. I felt completely comfortable leaving her in such a welcoming environment with someone that truly cares for animals. We received daily photos and videos to see how she was getting along with the other dogs, and handling her time away while we were on vacation. It made us more relaxed to see how relaxed she was each day, and all of the new friends she was making. The set up for the animals was definitely like a home away from home. They are NOT forced in cages and restricted from moving around, which separates Barking Bliss from the pack. We will absolutely use his services moving forward because we know she will be in the absolute best hands. Thank you for loving our pup, and taking such good care of her while we were away!
