About Us

Mission Statement

At Bark Place, we provide a safe, healthy, and comfortable environment for our pet guests and their human parents. All guests are treated as though they were our own pets and the individuality of each guest is recognized and respected. We strongly believe that all guests are entitled to our complete professionalism, competency, concern, and affection.

The Owner Anthony Mesok founded Bark Place in April of 2007. His life long love of animals and his own need to find a boarding/care facility that met his standards are what motivated him to establish this facility. Several local overnight boarding facilities were satisfactory but he could not find a daycare facility to satisfy his requirements. He is the proud “parent” of Jackson (his 11 year old Flat Coated Retriever) and Sprinkle (his 8 year old cat) and is most particular about their well being. Anthony brings extensive experience from corporate management to this venture. Additionally, he has studied obedience training, is knowledgeable in nutrition, supplements and aromatic herbs, and has recently been certified in pet first aid by the American Red Cross.

Benefits of Pet Daycare

Daycare promotes healthy exercise for your pet through interaction with other dogs and our staff. Daycare curbs the boredom, separation anxiety and/or destructive behaviors that may occur when a pet is left alone. Daycare provides stimulation, exercise, socialization, and confidence building. It can assist many dogs who are fearful or socially inept. For humans, daycare gives peace of mind in knowing that your dog is being well cared for in a supervised environment. Constructively occupied dogs can free you of furniture repair, yard repair, issues with your neighbors, and the guilt of leaving your pet isolated and alone all day.

Staff

Our staff is knowledgeable in many aspects of dog behavior, especially in reading canine body language. Dog play can sometimes appear extreme of even violent to humans who are not familiar with normal dog behavior. Our staff has received instruction on how to recognize the difference between normal and inappropriate canine behaviors. They are competent in all other areas of dog care in terms of physical and emotional safety and comfort.
