"Barkhaus isn't your regular doggy day care and boarding facility. "Pack leaders" Natalie Sanchez and Andres Monasterios have a unique way with dogs, and it shows (most notably via their Instagram account, which has nearly 60,000 followers and growing.) The two care for and train dogs in their 12,000sf private dog park, complete with above-ground dog pool and "Barkhaus Beach". Abiding by the philosophy that "a tired dog is a happy dog", they also take structured pack walks - sometimes up to 30 at a time. Barkhaus books up quickly and has many "haus regulars", so be sure to e-mail them well in advance to secure a place for your pooch." - Matthew Vander Werff & Ashley Melisse Abess
