Pet lodging you can trust.
Overnight Care for Your Dog
Peace of Mind for You
The Bark Yard is not your average dog boarding kennel but the area’s most trusted pet care destination designed to keep dogs happy, healthy, and safe.
Our professional team provides hands-on attention and loving care based on your dog’s specific needs and your wishes.
As pet parents ourselves, we understand how difficult it is to find someone you can trust with your dog when you need to be away, and that’s why we created the type of place that we would trust with our own pets.
The Bark Yard Difference:
At The Bark Yard, every dog receives loads of love, attention, and exceptional care from a compassionate team of pet lovers who have received advanced training to ensure the health, safety, and happiness of each dog.
We take a holistic approach to the care we provide each dog and will help you customize the overnight visit based on your pup’s physical, mental, emotional, and social needs.
Lodging rates start at $110 per night, or even less if your dog is enrolled in a daycare program. Stays of over 6 nights receive a discount.
We look forward to speaking with you to learn all about your pet and help you select the lodging package and accommodation you prefer, that ensures your pup enjoys a fun-filled, comfortable stay with us.
Contact us at 207-864-4954 so we can learn all about your dog and help you schedule your first visit with us!
Thoughtfully Designed Experiences Personalized for Every Dog
Group Play
If your dog enjoys being social and playing with other canine friends, we’ll match them with other dogs of the same size that share similar dispositions, playstyles, and preferences.
Our lodging packages include a variety of engaging interactions to ensure your pup acclimates quickly and feels comfortable with our team and the surroundings.
One-on-One Play
We understand that some dogs prefer playtime with humans versus playing with other dogs, or they may not be spayed or neutered after 6 months, and that’s okay!
We have lodging packages that are tailored to our private play pups so they can enjoy plenty of exercise and personalized attention from our team.
Accommodations
When your dog isn’t busy playing, learning, or being spoiled by our team, they’ll sleep in a spacious cabin, or crate if that’s what your dog prefers, on a comfortable raised bed with a soft blanket.
Daily Pupdates
Pet parents love our daily pupdates with photos and notes so you can keep up with all the fun your dog is having with us!
Meals
We’ll prepare your dogs food from home and provide plenty of fresh water, both in sanitized bowls. We ask that you bag and label each serving to ensure we are feeding the same portions you feed at home.
The Bark Yard is 100% fear and force free.
This means that our entire team has been trained in positive dog care and handling.
