HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Barkgata started with love and a problem Bianca couldn’t ignore. Growing up, her three dogs were more than pets — they were family. But every vacation meant leaving them in cold, impersonal kennels. Her pit bull, Delilah, always came back anxious and withdrawn.

Bianca kept asking herself, why isn't there something better? That question stayed with her as she grew up. After pressing pause on PA school during the pandemic, she finally followed her heart. Together with her dad, she opened the first Barkgata location in Nesconset in 2022, followed by a second in East Farmingdale.

Both locations were built with one belief in mind: your dog’s comfort and happiness should always come first.

There’s no place like home — but I want Barkgata to be the next best thing.

 — Bianca Caras, Founder
