BARK on PARK

Bark on Park, nestled in the charming historic 5 Points area of Jacksonville, is a true gem for any dog lover. Located at 1021 Park Street, this upscale urban dog retreat has been a neighborhood favorite since opening in 2009, and it’s easy to see why—it’s earned consistent praise as one of the best pet care spots in the city, including “Best of Jax” accolades for years. The boutique side is absolutely delightful, packed with great boutique items that go way beyond the basics. You’ll find one-of-a-kind, innovative accessories, natural pet foods, tasty baked goods and treats (like those fun “Love” turkey chips and other specialty goodies that catch the eye), stylish clothing for dogs, human apparel for proud pet parents, toys, and even quirky finds like doggy “whiskey” potions or birthday cakes. The selection feels curated and high-quality, with plenty of locally designed and printed merch that adds a fun, Jacksonville flair. It’s the perfect place to spoil your pup or grab unique gifts—browsing here is half the fun! What really sets Bark on Park apart is their pawsome doggy daycare and boarding services, available 7 days a week. The facility offers engaging daycare with spacious indoor and outdoor play areas (over 4,500 square feet total), positive reinforcement training options, and cozy boarding in individual suites complete with spa-like soundtracks for relaxation and monitoring cameras for peace of mind. Owners rave about the attentive, loving staff who treat every dog like family, building trust even with anxious pups and providing personalized care. Whether it’s a full day of play, overnight stays, or combining services like grooming while boarding, the team is flexible, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. The vibe is welcoming and upscale yet approachable, fitting perfectly into the dog-friendly, vibrant 5 Points/Riverside scene. Appointments can fill up (especially for grooming or daycare), so booking ahead is smart, but the staff’s reliability and willingness to accommodate make it stress-free. If you’re in Jacksonville and your dog deserves top-tier care alongside some seriously cute boutique shopping, Bark on Park is a must-visit. Highly recommend—your furry friend will thank you (and come home happy and tired)! 🐶✨ Like Share Response from the owner 3 months ago Wow - thank you so much for this awesome and thorough review!

Love love love Bark on Park. They take such good care of my dog Sarge and they always send a report card every day with such fun pictures.

I wish I would have caught the lady’s name who took care of my dog Maya, but she did an amazing job, she paid really close attention to her and gave me a lot of feedback about the visit! Staff is so friendly, and took really good care of my dog. She wasn’t so eager to leave like she is anywhere else, so that’s saying a lot! Thanks so much! Highly recommend!

Bark on Park has truly been the best thing for our golden retriever puppy, Waffles. I was honestly so nervous to leave him anywhere, but from day one the experience has been nothing short of amazing. Every single person on the Bark on Park team is incredibly kind and attentive, and it’s so clear how much they genuinely care about every dog in their care. Waffles absolutely loves going — he literally squeals with excitement when I ask him if he wants to go to daycare, which makes my heart melt every time. Seeing how happy, confident, and well cared for he is has completely eased any worries I had. I’m so grateful to have found a place we trust and love this much. I can’t say enough good things… all the stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Price assessment Great price Services Dog daycare Like Share Response from the owner 3 months ago Hi Melissa, thank you so much for the glowing review! We know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave a puppy in someone else's care for the first time, so it means the world to us that you've placed your trust in our team.

Bark on Park is the best! Brinkley LOVES going to daycare and he stays overnight when I travel for work. They always keep me updated on how he’s doing and who his daycare buddies are. All of their employees are so sweet and caring! Their facilities are clean and the shop is cute. I cannot recommend Bark on Park enough!! 10/10!

We took our dog here for the first time and had a great experience. Our dog was nervous at first but they were so patient and kind with him. He went for a bath, teeth brushing and nail grind. They took their time with him. He was a happy and clean boy at pick up! I’d note that they’re a bit hard to reach by phone and we had the best luck just walking in-store. The boutique inside is cute but a bit expensive. We appreciate their team and look forward to our future visits.
