February 2024 by no fuss no muss
Not recommended for small-medium size dogs (up to 25lbs). Majority boarded here are very large dogs, very energetic and aggressive dogs. I feel that my little girl was endangered (harassed, physically abused) by the large males. She was inflamed and extremely skittish when I got her back home. I took her to our vet and there was no way to determine what caused the swelling and inflammation. It broke my heart! It’s like I left my young daughter overnight at a men’s prison, is about as close to how I can explain what I feel occurred there. Now I see that a dog has actually died in Patrice’s care. No, I absolutely can not recommended this facility.

We were out of town for two months , during our travel the owner sent us videos of our dog, kept us in the loop. We felt great full to have her as our dog care. My wife never once said I wonder if Ragnar is taken care of or not. We knew and felt that our dog is with her and he is like at home, He is not in dog kennel, like other dog care. We are so thankful for bringing our dog to barkingham. When we travel again my dog will be with there, and I know my dog will feel that he is home away from home.

We learned of Barkingham Palace from our holistic vet. Over the past two years, our part Beagle rescue dog has spent more than 150 days there under the loving care of Patrice, who treats each dog as if it were her own. We have always been extremely pleased with the level of professional care that our pet gets. We love seeing her playing with the other dogs in such a pleasant environment. Our dog comes home clean, healthy, and happy, and we’ve never had a negative experience. We’ve suggested Barkingham to friends who have been similarly satisfied, and we will continue to recommend it to anyone seeking a safe place to board his/her dog.

My dog was been boarding here for 5 years and over 80 days a year. Always enjoys the "open" environment. She has never come home with fleas but is certainly tired beyond all belief and she sleeps for days before fully recovering. Patrice is extremely knowledgeable of dogs and their behavior. It never ceases to amaze me what she observes in dog behavior as I spend time talking with her when I drop off and pick up.

Patrice seemed to genuinely cares and they did have a lot of room to run. It was the first time I had to leave him with a stranger, and I liked the idea of him not having to stay in a kennel. She sent me many videos of him having fun. But, I do not recommend this because she claims to interview the dogs to see if they get along with the other dogs that she adopted and they were growling at my dog. She did not ask me anything about Rabies shots during the interview. She sent us a paper days later to fill out asking questions that anyone could have easily lied about. These dogs were extremely dirty. And, I could tell many of the dogs had fleas. My house got extremely infested with fleas. I gave her a three because putting my dog there was my fault. I was desperate because I waited until the last minute and she was extremely sweet! So, basically make sure her dogs react well to your dog during the interview.I’m also pretty sure he got bit because he started crying when I brushed him. When he got home.

Our dog, Smokey had a great experience at Barkingham. Patrice knows how to handle dogs, as well as loves dogs. We have taken Smokey there several times, and he has enjoyed every time.

Here is my review. Almost one year ago, my sweet boy, Skye , was killed at Barkingham by other dogs. Then, there was an attempt to cover up how he died. Skye was not the only dog who died here at the expense of other dogs and neglect. Be Aware...I marked one star because without a star, this could not be posted.

I has been using Barkingham Palace for my golden retrievers for over 10 years now, and have always been very pleased. Patrice is always very attentive and concerned for my dogs. In the past, I have needed her to care for very ill older dogs, dogs with thunder phobia, and dogs with separation anxiety. I am always very reassured that she will look after them, no matter what. She is also expert at pack behavior in dogs and gives lots of great advice in caring for them at home as well. I plan to continue to use Buckingham whenever I need a place to board my dogs, even though I live an hour away, it's worth it to me!

Always takes great care of my pups. I never worry when they are with Ms Patrice. I have used her for years for both my dogs. My dogs always love going there too (always a good sign that they are treated well)
