Defense I worked for the Southlakes Bark and Purr Retreat. Mrs. Whelan will stay on top of everyone there to make sure that everything is done at a proper time. She makes sure the dogs are walked and well cared for. She and I did not always see eye to eye on some things but she does take care of the animals. Mr. and Mrs Whelan love animals and they do what the say they will do for you. She fires people and they go to work for other kennels in the area such as elite Suites. They are picking up people she fires for not doing t... read more

jwatson I have been using the Bark and Purr Retreat for several years now and find them to be very professional, polite and courteous. I like the idea that they get my dogs out to the yards so many times a day. Their staff takes very good care of my dogs.

Low Rent Rude and unprofessional. If you need low rent this is your kennel. If you love your dog do not use this place.

Horrible I used to work there for about 4 months and I quit. on their brochere its says oh we do this and this with your animals while they are here. blah blah blah. Ya they feed them and take them out all the time. But the cats are kept in this upstairs area where its warm and not confortable. The yare kept in a cage unless we are cleaning it then we put them right back in. Then the dogs they dont get walked only let out to go potty and we are not allowed to play with them or touch them unless we r puttting a leash on them.... read more

Bark & Purr Retreat is ?????? if you think your pet is treated good at Southlake's Bark and Purr Pet Reteat the you need to go around the corner to Elite Suites. They have a much more pet friendly place and yes they cost more but you get what you pay for.

ex employee I worked for tim and sharron for about a yr i guess this is not a bad place to work or board your animals. They take great pride in every dog and cat brought into that. I think the ppl whom are complaining may have had there own issues prior to coming there for nothing will be good enough. And as far as the staff goes you have to love those animals to work there and if you dont you dont need to be there. Had i not had personal issues to tend with i would still be there now. Maryann

Thanks for the care We have always used the Bark and Purr for our Lab Harley. Harley is very special to our family and a good caring kennel is important. The Bark and Purr treats Harley like a King. Their true caring and love for the dogs is noticed immediately. Most important our dog noticed and displayed them true affection when he left. Its a great place and a second home for Harley when we need it. I would not use another. We feel safe, secure and happy knowing Harley is being treated well and cared for by true dog lover... read more

Peace of mind during the storm During the hurricane Ike, my husband and I had to evacuate our home and find shelter away from the coming storm. When we got to the Dallas area, we looked all over for a kennel who would help us, and not charge an arm and a leg. When we called, they said it was $25.00 a day and there were no extra charges to walk our dog (Sophie) or for them to administer her thyroid medication. They also gave a discount for all the hurricane victims. Yvonne, the manager, took us on a tour of their facility and... read more
