Very quickly found a suitable sitter for our 3 dogs. Not always easy to find someone willing to accommodate 3 at a time!
Robert is so encouraging and makes it a personal commitment on his part to help me stay focused on my goals.

Easy to use Bark lived that you get to see profiles before you ask for quotes. I used Kevva cleaning and Kevin was lovely, good price and did excellent job of clearing gutters and the blocked downpipe. Even sent photos of before and after Would definitely use again.

I found the young gentleman, a professional electrician very concerned about the new breaker box I had just received a week before. He was also very thorough on checking the baseboard heater that stopped working and found wires completely burnt. He was excellent. I am now safer and I will call them again. Thank you for showing up after I phoned on short notice. Donna P.

Needed new guttering. Had 4 expressions of interest within 30 minutes of posting. Was given 4 estimates covering a wide range of potential costs. Chose one - work nearly done to a good standard. During the work other issues I was aware of were pointed out. Have used the same people to fix these as well. Happy so far with everything.

Please ask for a review after I used your member. I can't review a website I can review your member and that review is for someone who is going to use that supplier. Then I can review the website for overall experience.

As a business owner and professional in my industry for 20 years and over 30 years of entrepreneurship experience, this company is the worst of the worst. Do not spend your money here! These leads are not legitimate. You're better off cold calling out of the phone book. I asked if I could have a refund for the credits I have not used and the Brit would not listen to me. Would not provide a refund and was rude. I asked to speak to a manager and she refused to help me. This company disgusts me and should not be allowed to operate in the United States! They take advantage of small business owners and should be shut down!
Hi Jeff,
We did reach out to you to try and help, however you did not respond to us.
Please email us at [email protected] and we would be happy to help you make the most of our platform.

Bark. Com is fraudulent. The leads are fake and they will not refund monies paid. I am starting a class action lawsuit in the United States as well as The United Kingdom. Please reply to email
*******@gmail.com to become part of this lawsuit.
Thank you,

Hi Maurice,
We're sorry to hear that you have not had a positive experience using our platform however we strongly refute the claims you have made against our business.
We did try to resolve your issue however you did not respond to our message.
To clarify our role, we offer professionals the opportunity to try and convert business and market themselves at the fraction of the cost it would normally be to get themselves to the top of Google (which is what we do). We do not guarantee work, but provide a platform that should garner professionals a 1 in 5 conversion rate - essentially we want to get you a return on investment. We do not charge commission and so do not take any earnings from you, nor do we take any earnings from repeat business you may win.
We cannot provide refunds for used credit packs as we cannot retrieve the online marketing we already provided for your business.
Should you like to speak with us about your account, please email us at [email protected].
