Daycare, boarding, and grooming for dogs who'd rather run the yard than nap on the couch. Real playgroups, real supervision, real report cards at pickup.
Barkyard started with one fenced yard and a promise: dogs stay loose, supervised, and grouped by size and energy — never stacked in crates for the day.
Today we run two yards, an indoor rest room for nap breaks, and a grooming studio out back. Every pack leader is certified in dog first aid and trained to read body language before it becomes a problem.
Every service includes fresh water, playgroup matching by size, and a report card home.
Open play, rest breaks, and two supervised playgroups matched to your dog's size and energy.
