What you can do with BarkPark
Find dog parks near you
Browse dog parks on a map, check amenities before you go, and read reviews from local dog owners. A live busy-time heatmap shows when a park is quiet or packed, so you can pick the right moment for a nervous pup or a big play session. Do not see your park? Any registered user can add it and start logging visits.
Meet your local pack
Post photos and stories of your dog, follow other pawrents, join groups for your breed or neighborhood, and RSVP to playdates and local events. You can also create and manage your own events.
Book vetted dog sitters
Browse sitters near you, compare profiles, reviews and prices, and book in the app. Your card is held, not charged, until the sitter accepts. Phone numbers, email addresses and links stay hidden in chat until a booking is confirmed.
Book dog trainers
Search trainers by specialty and location, read reviews from other dog owners, and book sessions with the same card-hold payment flow used for sitters.
Vets, groomers and private spaces
Beyond sitters and trainers, BarkPark lists vets, groomers and private spaces that hosts list for off-leash play. Bookings use the same in-app payment and chat.
Lost and found alerts
If your dog goes missing, post a lost alert so nearby BarkPark members see it. If you spot a dog on its own, report a found dog. Each dog profile also has a scannable QR tag that helps anyone who finds your pup reach you.
A profile for every pup
Give each dog a profile with photos, breed, personality, health records and vaccination reminders. The QR tag links back to the profile so a finder can help your dog get home.
BarkBot, your AI helper
BarkBot is an AI helper for everyday dog questions such as training tips, food questions and what a strange behavior might mean. It is not a substitute for a veterinarian. Free members get 10 questions a day; Premium members get 50.
Premium and Founder
Premium is a single paid tier at $4.99 per month. It includes an ad-free experience, seeing who viewed your profile, more BarkBot questions (50 a day instead of 10) and a gold Founder badge. Founders, the limited early members, keep their $4.99 per month price while they stay subscribed. There are no free trials.
