At our 12,000 square foot facility, your dog is more than a guest- they’re family. From the moment they arrive, they’re welcomed with love, treated with care, and given experience fit for royalty. Our space is thoughtfully designed to provide the perfect balance of fun, interaction, and socilaziation in a safe and enriching environment. Whether they’re racing through our play yards, relaxing during nap time, or bonding with our staff, your pup will enjoy a day full of tail wags, happy energy, and the comforts of one- only bigger and better. Bark Palace Doggie Daycare, Kennel and SPA-is a family-owned and operated business. Our philosophy is our dogs are members of our family and we treat them as such. We understand how important it is to have peace of mind leaving a family member for a day or for an extended period of time. Our goal is to give you the peace of mind and your dog the care, love, and attention you’d expect from yourself. We’re neither a franchise nor a chain. We are dedicated to one mission statement; we offer Daycare, Boarding and Spa services for your dog and they will be treated like ROYALTY as a member of our family. We have a dedicated trained staff of employees who have all been raised with and are now raising their own various dog families. We cater to and will unconditionally love and treat every dog in our care as a part of our family. Every dog attending a full day of daycare or boarding will have their own cabin for nap time, meal time, and overnight boarding. We believe no family domestic dog is prepared for 8-12 hours of continuous play in an open play area without some reprieve. We will strive to incorporate their home life into their stay here with us. So we encourage all dogs to bring with them their special items for their private suite during nap time and or overnight stays. We know how important it is to have care givers for our family members who are trustworthy, loving and most of all flexible. Our option of services will cater to professionals and families with dogs who need flexibility in today’s busy world.

Grooming
Grooming can be a big experience for some dogs, so we make sure to create a calm, comfortable environment every step of the way. We understand that every dog is different- some need a little break to relax, stretch out, or have quick snack before continuing. That’s why we build in downtime when needed, especially for longer grooming session. Whether it’s a quick trim or a full spa day, we prioritize your pup’s comfort to make grooming a positive, stress-free experience they’ll feel good about and look great after!
Pricing
Every dog is unique, and so is every groom. We’re unable to give out exact prices without seeing your dog first, as things like coat condition, matting, size, and behavior (like biting or jumping) can affect the time and care needed. A quick in-person assessment helps us give you the most accurate and fair price- while ensuring your pup gets a safe and great grooming experience.
Boarding
When your dog stays with us overnight, we do everything we can to make them feel at home- including maintaining a balanced routine. Each day includes plenty of playtime, socialization, and enrichment, but we also make sure your dog has a time to rest. A midday nap gives them a chance to relax, enjoy a meal if provided, and recharge before afternoon activities. Our boarding facility features 40 cozy cabins, each measuring 6 feet by 4 feet- plenty of room for your pup to stretch out, relax, and feel at ease. Every cabin comes with a comfy cot, and you’re welcome to bring your dog’s favorite bed, blanket, or even a shirt that smells like home to make things extra comforting. We also allow safe toys and bones to help your dog feel entertained and secure during their stay. Pricing for boarding is $45 per night for one dog and for two it’d be $80. We are also able to provide house food for an extra $5 fee. Whether it’s just for a night or a longer getaway, we’ve created a space where your dog can rest, recharge, and feel right at home while you’re away.

Setting up an interview!
All dogs coming into our facility - whether for boarding, daycare, or grooming - must first pass a behavioral assessment. This helps us make sure every dog is a good fit for our environment and keeps things safe and fun for everyone. During the interview, we introduce your dog to our pack gradually, starting with the calmest pups and working our way up to the more energetic ones. If your dog handles it well, they’re all set and good to go! We offer two standard assesments Monday - Friday, one at 10 AM and another at 2 PM - plus an all-day interview option for those with a busy schedule or dogs that may need a little more time to adjust. (No interviews on the weekends)
