The event I was enquiring about was cancelled so it was not necessary for me to proceed. I cancelled before I received any quotes.
Found this really easy to use. Fast response from Bark with updates.
Just wished that my "bark" didn't close automatically, as it may still take a while for some people to find the right pro.
Hi there Liliana,
Thanks for your review,
It's great to hear that we could help connect you with some great professionals.
We do try to leave the Bark open for some time before closing. If you would like a Bark to be left open longer, just email us at [email protected] and we can ensure we do that for you.

The entire experience was very good and delivered a high number of relevant responses very quickly, the follow up from the respondents was also very efficient and professional in each case and we were able to make a selection.
I tried another high-profile trade finding website for the same requirement and got no responses whatsoever which made my experience with Bark.com all the more pleasing.
Would use again and recommend to others.

Quick, caring, efficient, polite and very reasonable charge. Really wish I'd known about Bark before now. Would recommend Bradley's and Martin to anyone who is struggling to find an accountant.

We hired Alex (Bratucu Alexandru) through BARK. He did an excellent job, he installed our parquet laminate flooring on the entire ground floor of our house, professional, meticulous with detail, neat, conscientious, pleasant to work with and very polite. Highly recommended.
BARK however should not send continuous emails asking for reviews, they should wait a reasonable time for for the job to be done first.

Bart is a good source to find direct professionals for home refurbishments. This way you pay directly the person who does the work and not a company too. We chose a person, the work has not started yet but we are confident from the meeting that he will do a good job. Seems quite experienced.
Found an excellent dog trainer Sonny Myles for my 2 x 10 months old labradors. They needed training with socialising with other dogs in the park and walking on the lead without pulling. Sonny gave us lots of tips on how to manage them.
Hi Magda,

Bark got me a great deal with the following. I asked for the best way of getting a good cleaning firm. They put me in touch with sues cleaning I met up with sue and we talked about the way I wanted things done. We came to a great arrangement and I have now a bit of a good result. The Staff are trained and a good deal was struck.

They terminated my account after I complained about bait and switch tactics and gave no refund. There is nothing in their terms or policies to justify this. Stole $160 from me, don't be next.
Hi there Randy,
We're sorry to hear that you have had a negative experience using our platform. We did reach out to you to try and resolve your issues but you declined our offer.
We are able to provide refunds for unused credits - please email us at [email protected] and we can see if we are able to help.
Kind regards,
The Bark Team
They say your promo credit pack of $160cdn will get you about 10 lead responses. Well after I paid, turns out that is only 4 lead responses. Classic bait and switch. I called to complain and ask for a refund, very frustrating conversation as they tried to justify. They didn't like my complaint or tone and terminated my account and no refund. $160 stolen from me. Nothing I can do but warn others. They are not local despite their local phone number, based in London.
I have never used Bark before but was really pleased with the fast response
And had numerous replies.
