About

Owner and founder, Christopher Turi, grew up in Florida and moved to New York City in 2009. After working for several years in private banking on Wall Street, he decided it was time for a change. He had always loved dogs and knew he could offer a superior dog-walking and dog-sitting service in the city. In May 2016, he opened Hotel Bark Ave, Manhattan’s only crate-free facility with a REAL backyard. At Hotel Bark Ave, we specialize in puppy socialization, daily daycare and overnight boarding. Each pup must undergo a trial day to ensure he/she is comfortable in the space and gets along with the rest of the crew. Dogs are also not separated by age, breed or size, promoting an all-inclusive play space!
