No where on the site can you delete your account. Had to call in to request the removal. After that I tried to sign up as a Pro but it would not let me. Says email already exists even though the agent said it was deleted and I received an email confirmation. I tried again, it asks for user name and PW. Says PW is wrong, I hit forgot password. It says enter an email address. I input the same email address that said it already exists, but then says, can not find email. WTF? I contact support 3 times and all three times a rep says please sign in as a Pro. I tried to explain to them the situation only to be rushed off the phone. The 3rd rep says he is ending the call and hung up. Poor everything.

Just had my pitched roof cleaned by three enthusiastic & efficient lads. Did a great job over two days - moss gone! Would recommend Universal Roofing ******* 192 945 (Connor Roper).

I used bark to contact 'customers' who had jobs advertised, all 3 leads were dead and nobody made contact (Clients). I contacted bark customer service who refused to refund or credit fees saying clients numbers were verified.
That means nothing when the clients job has been taken and they haven't informed bark. Bark still pre-charge you for leads and you don't have any opportunity to quote or even contact customer.

Shoddy

I've been getting leads on bark.com every 10-30 minutes, some with 'Urgent' need to contact them back. My profile was nice and complete with 5-star reviews from my clients.

I eventually spent money to buy credits to connect to 24 leads, out of which only two leads (~8%) demonstrated human-like behavior in any form (I had a personal interaction).

I have no idea if the remaining ~92% leads are real at all.

Before you invest any meaningful money into buying leads at bark, be sure to test a very small portion of leads.

I purchased credits in an effort to gain new business as a freelance graphic designer. Even with the 50% discount on the credits, I have spent $220 that I didn't have to try and get work. After using all the credits and not getting a single project, I got the credits refunded.

I have caught them twice now posting duplicate tasks that I have paid for. There is no accountability on the 'requester' to follow up or respond. I've had people 'request I contact them' or 'request a quote' and each time it costs credits to respond. Only, you never hear from these people.

I would love to see actual work completed through this site.

I bought a lead for a logo. Talked with the man, he said my prices were too high for his budget. I said ok, what is your budget? $250. Ok, I can help you with this for the $250 (my normal price for a logo is $2500) Guy sends me a text the next day saying some guy he know will do it for less. Really? Really? These are vetted leads?

This site is horrible and I feel terrible for people who have lost even more money then I have.

I employed Simon Loades to decorate my newly fitted kitchen and bathroom. I found him very professional in his approach to his work and his price was very competitive. I would recommend him and his work.

I ran across the website, and thought this an interesting opportunity.

I bought credits, emailed prospective clients, without 1 return email.

I did a free trial for their Elite Pro, but no pricing ANYWHERE on the site, which should have been an indicator.

Then I scheduled a call -- 2x on their calendly app. When no one called back I emailed, just to be told they don't make specific appt times to call customers, just return randomly. Excuse me? You asked for a time and confirmed it, but you don't do that?

Now I'm trying to get the money on wasted credits returned and I feel this won't end well either.

Don't waste your money!

I had a plasterer from your site I had him twice before so trusted him the third time he asked me to transfer 170 pounds for materials and never done the job or refunded my money. Beware of this man and never give or transfer money to him.

Had the worst experience of my life am still traumatized with the service i got from one kitchen installer, left my kitchen half done, did a substandard job in my house did not care to come and see the mistakes that the carpenter had done, when i call to check when my kitchen will be done my calls get rejected. Am thinking of even engaging a lawyer my heart is sore 52 thousand gone down the drain, never again will i come to this site

I own a cleaning company and was looking for new opportunities. I ended up wasting my credits contacting employees looking for cleaning work not companies looking for service. Bark credited the money but won't credit my money back to my credit card. It still stays as credit on their website where leads are NOT VERIFIED. Don't waste your money and time on this site.

Stay away from this company...they take your money for credits and ban you from it and do not refund you the credits...AVOID AT ALL COST!

They took the money for providing interiors leads and all contacts are fake...no response from the client, in the beginning they tell you that they will refund the credit but once we take the plan, no response or refund...fraud people, fake contacts...don't take service from them

Was amazing, got the garden cleared within two hours didn't complain at all and did it all on his own. Was absolutely amazing. Many thanks :)

The customer service at Bark.com is absolutely unprofessional, rude and disrespectful. I had issue with two leads i purchase from them. I was asking questions regarding the the leads in case they weren't able to reach the customer and I was cursed out by the employee. If you guys are going to provide service to the public you need to learn proper manners. If someone spends their money with you guys it is only fair for them to ask questions. They are the worst!

I've purchased $172.80 worth of credits. Pure waste of money and time. They send you clients who show interest and want you to contact them, once you approve and try to contact the client. NOTHING. No answer whatsoever. I've done it with 5+ leads now. I didn't get one client nor job. If you come across Bark, just run and don't stop.

Positive Pets has been remarkable in training our two pups! Special attention to ensure our deaf pup was successful in learning was truly appreciated! The locations are convenient, the facilities are clean, and the staff are friendly and professional. A special thank you to Tas and staff! We will be happily enrolling for advanced training courses.

I had someone reply to my job request. He came out in June 2022 and re-done the whole of my roof above kitchen which lucky is separate to my main roof thank god.
He charged me £3200 for it which I thought was a bit steep for size of roof.
He claimed it was all great and would not leak ever again. He claimed he would send me a guarantee. Which I never received even after contacting him again august. Obviously I'd realised then something was wrong.
October 2022 came and my roof started leaking and he did not reply to any of my messages. In the end the bathroom ceiling got ruined and some of my ceiling in bathroom came down. I kept sending this guy updates on whats app photos even though he continued to not reply.
I have since realised he is a PVC paint sprayer.
Which was on top of his receite. He went by the name of Richard Vinden.
Not a happy customer.
People beware. And vet properly.

Oliver Reed removed a double bed from upstairs and took a single bed from downstairs and erected it upstairs. He was on time and did the job efficiently. He cleared up and all was left very good. I will have him again and highly recommend him

Though the weather and temeratures were totally against us the job was done and we are very very happy
