Nope, as a Bark Buildings resident you get to enjoy all the perks free of charge.
Each communities dedicated pet concierge is in charge of selecting the recommended services for their community. The pet concierge contacts each provider to gather more information about their experience, processes, employment practices, and policies. They take many other factors into consideration, such as online reviews, and continuously reassess the recommended businesses based on resident feedback. At the end of the vetting process, each business is evaluated and must meet an exceptional level of quality in order to make the cut.

Yes, Bark Buildings conducts in depth background checks on all new team members before they are brought on board.
We take training very seriously. Prior to being hired, all dog walkers are interviewed and required to pass an assessment that tests their pet care knowledge. If they are hired, each dog walker on our team goes through an extensive multi-day training program consisting of theoretical and field training with a Canine Specialist and Community Manager. All walkers start out walking single dogs and slowly work their way up to more complex group services as they gain more experience and complete higher levels of training. Training and development remains an ongoing requirement for all staff members throughout their employment with Bark Buildings.
Cancelling scheduled services is free, as long as you submit your request before the deadline. For all services other than In Home Sitting, the cancellation deadline is 5pm on the day before your scheduled service. Services that are canceled after 5pm on the day before the service will be charged a $10 fee and services canceled on the same day will be charged in full.
For details on our cancellation policy for in-home sitting services please inquire at the time of booking or email us at info@barkbuildings.com.
We will always do our best to accommodate same day bookings, but availability may vary depending on the walker scheduled within your building. Please make sure to submit any last minute bookings by texting our hotline at (844) 822-3647, to ensure our Community Manager receives your request as quickly as possible!
The price you pay for each service depends on the number of weekly recurring services that you sign up for. For example, if you book five of the 15 Minute Solo Walk services on a weekly recurring basis, you’ll qualify for the lowest price of $15/service. If you book just one 15 Minute Solo Walk service, the price will be $18. For sittings, reduced pricing is based on five or more consecutive nights but they are not required to be weekly recurring.
Adding an additional dog from the same household is only an extra $5 per service (with the exception of In-Home Sitting and Obedience Training services). In-Home Sitting is an additional $10/service, while Obedience Training is $20/service.
