J.Tails Barkyard - St. Petersburg, Florida

J. Tails is the absolute best! My girl is always so excited to see her friends and play. The staff is always sweet and kind. Pick up and drop off is fast and seamless. I look forward to seeing Poppy's daily report card and being able to check in on her via the cameras through out the day. I know she is in great hands there, and the staff treats her like she was their own.

Our dog had an amazing first day at J. Tails in Saint Pete! We love to support a local business in our community and they are such a cool local doggie daycare!
My process for making sure everything was ready for our pup Reba was easy using the website they have available for signing up. Reba’s first day was free which was really awesome, and makes the experience risk free. It’s important to have your dog’s vaccines up to date, and then I just took a picture of the records and uploaded them to their doggie portal. Then when you go to sign your dog up for anything you can go online, pay for the day, pay for extra treats, etc and it’s all ready and organized for you. That way when you go to get your dog, there’s no cash or cards you need to take out & hand over while you’re trying to get your dog(s) at the end of the stay. The prices are great, the daycare is definitely smaller in terms of the number of dogs, which was great for us because our dog is a little intimidated by being in a high volume daycare.

Listen I know that may make me sound like I’m a crazy dog lady! But I think some would understand that our dog is a Pit Mix, so it can be stressful for dog owners with Pitties to drop them off at the groomers or daycare because of the misconceptions about the breed. If she barks or gets anxious, I have seen some people react out of fear. But we have worked very hard on training her for a year and we know how loving and sweet she is. So it was a huge huge relief that everyone at J. Tails was understanding and went above & beyond to make us feel they were familiar with dogs like her— sweet and gentle dogs, but with lots of energy and often misunderstand.

When I dropped off Reba I spoke with Mattie who was so kind! They helped Reba adjust to the new smells and environment before I left and they were so thoughtful and kind. During Reba’s temperament test and daycare visit, they texted us a picture of Reba in the kiddie pools having a blast with an awesome update of how she was doing! That was so sweet because I love seeing her having fun with the dogs instead of worrying if she is behaving or scared. When we went to pick her up, she was so excited to see us and she wasn’t scared at all. The folks at the front desk told us how much they loved her and that they had a great day getting to meet her. Seriously just the sweetest people working there, and you can tell everybody there are absolutely wonderful dog people who make sure your dog is safe AND having fun all day. They made us smile because they truly care about your animal. So we were very impressed.

We are J. Tails customers now for sure! We used to bring our dog to a bigger less structured doggie daycare and we noticed that her behavior was regressing. By that I mean she was barking a lot more at people, she was nervous often, and though she did like going, she came home stressed and smelling like floor cleaner/sanitizer from the kennels. So we were really surprised and happy that by the time we got her in the car we noticed she didn’t smell like anything! I think her getting to go in the kiddie pool might have even made her smell cleaner than before we dropped her off ?.

Everything from the caring and thoughtful customer service, the easy enrollment and payment system, to the fact that you can watch live video feed of the dogs playing while they are at daycare (accessible only if you have a dog registered for that day)…
We were just very happy and so impressed. Our family LOVES J Tails now and we highly recommend this daycare if you are looking for somewhere to bring your pup.

Easiest 5 star review I’ve had in a while! This doggy day care was exactly what we needed while on vacation. They really do take care of the dogs like they are their own, pricing is very reasonable, and you get these enjoyable “pupdates” each day! You can also check on your pups via webcams once they are checked in for the day. Don’t hesitate to use this day care!

The staff is friendly and patient, the facilities are clean and well maintained, and the pricing is very fair for the level of care. J. Tail’s emphasis on safety and well being, as well as the ratio of dogs to human supervision (1 person per 15 dogs) helps me feel confident trusting them with my rambunctious boy. I also appreciate the enrichment activities they offer during nap time—adorable and perfect for my high energy dog.

Definitely looking forward to using their daycare and boarding services in the future!

I have a high energy dog that started out really nervous at daycare. After a few weeks going to J.Tails a couple times a week, he runs toward the door when we get there. They have small playgroups of dogs with similar size/temperament, a fun outdoor play area, and someone with their pups at all times. I love that I can check on him throughout the day on their cameras and I look forward to the photos and “pupdates” they provide. We love J.Tails

I absolutely love JTails! They take such good care of my pup and I always get the cutest pictures of him on their Instagram. The staff is super sweet and I know they treat all the dogs so well! I never worry when my dog is under their care. They also offer very reasonable pricing and their facilities are kept nicely. I highly recommend! I also wanted to give a special shout out to Alex for always being so kind to Auggie! ?

The staff at J.Tails are so loving and attentive when taking care of my pet. I recently overnight boarded my dog at J.Tails and never worried about his care. When I leave him for the day, he comes home exhausted from a fun day of play. I highly recommend J. Tails for taking care of your pets.

J. Tails is the best. We are so glad we found this place! We have now done the daycare and boarding service. The staff is very friendly and caring. I really appreciate the "pupdates" on how our dog behaved that day. They also have video feeds, which is a plus.
