What We're About

Our Story

In 2011, Christine graduated college and got her first dog, Izzy, sparking her passion for therapy work and dog training. After apprenticing with a well-known trainer, she turned her hobby into a career. Initially focusing on Puppy Training and Development, she soon recognized the need for quality pet care in King of Prussia, PA. She envisioned a safe, healthy, and fun facility for dogs, offering outstanding lodging, socialization playtime, behavior training, and grooming.

Owners of Havertown Animal Hospital

Drs. Katie and Lew Springer, DVM

“We have been sending our dog, Heidi, to Bark U for daycare and boarding since she was a little puppy. Christine and her team have been exceptionally kind, caring and responsible with Heidi from the first day she was there. Daycare really helped with her puppy energy and as a four-year-old she still continues going there weekly (the Bark U Bus has also been a lifesaver!)

Heidi is a certified therapy dog and we think the love and care she has received at Bark U really helped with her training. We highly recommend Bark U and are so grateful to have them!”

“Our pet parents and patients love Bark U, and so do we.  Christine and her team are straightforward experts who genuinely care about every dog. They excel at understanding dog behavior, ensuring pets are safe both physically and emotionally. They always put pets first and promptly notify you and your vet if any issues arise. I confidently recommend Bark U for doggie daycare and boarding. Plus, the Bark Bus is adorable and convenient—seeing pets happily rush onto it always brings a smile!”

“We’ve been sending our dog, Dagny, to Bark U for four years now, and haven’t thought twice about moving her anywhere else. The team at Bark U takes great care of her and always updates us while we’re away with cute photos and report cards. She seems to love her time there with her friends and is always excited to run in when we drop her off. I always trust that she’s in great hands there, which gives me peace of mind while we’re away.”

Owner of Villanova Veterinary Hospital

Dr. Lawrence Gallagher, DVM

“Molly, our cherished ‘Mississippi White-Tipped Snipe Hound, joined our family at 9 weeks old and thrived in Bark U’s Puppy Socialization Program, later earning her degree from the Undergraduate Program.

Now attending Doggy Day Care three times a week, we love the convenience of the Bark U bus service. Molly eagerly awaits the bus each morning and comes home happy and tired. As a pet owner and veterinarian, I’m thrilled with the care Bark U provides and grateful for how excited Molly gets for her days there.”
