Our dog has stayed many times at A Bark Idea for day camp and overnight boarding. He is so happy there. The staff is amazing and we always get daily picture updates of our pup. He is always excited to arrive and never hesitates to run right in. I would highly recommend A Bark Idea for day camp and boarding.

I’ve taken my dog Colin here for both daycare and boarding and they do such a great job! Colin is a very anxious cavapoo and doesn’t do well with strangers but he warmed up to the crew so fast and has a great time! They are all so good with keeping you updated and taking the cutest daily pictures, accommodating special requests, and most importantly treating your dog with the best care! For the holiday, Colin came home with a toy, ornament and a bath! Can’t beat that! Thank you so much Bark Idea!
Our dog Nova was always very excited for her training, daycare, and boarding at A Bark Idea. Cami, Kelsey, and Justin were lovely with her and helped us greatly with Nova's energy and focus. We're no longer in the service area but can't recommend A Bark Idea enough for anyone in Redondo Beach or Marina Del Rey.
I have a 10 month old puppy and am so happy I found A Bark Idea. My puppy loves it!! The staff treats her like their own dog and truly cares about her. I left her for a long weekend away and she had so much fun with all her new friends. I will definitely use A Bark Idea again and am so thankful to have found such a great boarding facility!
Bark Idea is absolutely amazing! We bring our baby Taco from time to time when we’re out of town and let me tell you Taco doesn’t even say bye to me when I drop him off. He runs in and can’t wait to get inside to play with all his friends. Staff is fantastic! You get daily photos, updates and you can even add a bath so when you pick up your baby they’re looking fresh. Thank you Bark Idea 💛🐶
