Learn more about our dog daycare options, what sets us apart, and how to get started.
At BARK U, your dog will never spend the day alone in a kennel or crate. Our Signature Daycare services have something for every dog – seven days a week.
Our customized, supervised playgroups are designed to provide dogs with the social interaction and physical activity they desire and love! Highly qualified staff trained in dog behavior, body language, and off-leash play management to create an environment of appropriate social interactions. Dogs are placed in groups based on size, age and play style to ensure that every dog has a great experience.
We have massive amounts of indoor and outdoor play areas that feature enrichment activities and playground equipment, as well as elevated lounging chairs and areas for relaxation. All dogs have continuous access to fresh water and are supervised by trained professionals to ensure that all dogs are happy, safe, and healthy.
Every dog has the ultimate day of play at BARK U.
Enrichment Daycare fosters positive behaviors, confidence, and good manners through games that reward obedience and focus, such as agility courses, rally games, nose work, puzzles, and training games. And after your dog has been mentally stimulated and engaged, pamper them with a one-on-one Snuggle session, where your dog will be treated to all the belly rubs and ear scratches that they deserve.
With Enrichment Daycare add-ons, your dog will come home relaxed and happy!
Dogs are evaluated by certified dog trainers and are placed in supervised playgroups based on size, age and play style to ensure that every dog has a great experience.
All members of our staff are thoroughly trained in pet CPR, safety, and first aid. All dogs that attend BARK U receive round-the-clock supervision and support. We employee a minimum of three staff overnight, so dogs are cared for no matter the time of day.
We have multiple custodians on site who execute thorough, daily sanitation procedures. We use pet-safe cleaning products for daily cleaning, perform hourly yard cleaning, and scrub all floors routinely, including overnight. A centralized ventilation system continuously provides clean, fresh air indoors.
Local veterinarians highly recommend BARK U for our safe, clean facility and dog-approved services. Many of them send their dogs to BARK U for daycare, lodging and other services!
My dog had not been to daycare in a while, so I was a little nervous about how she would do with so many dogs, but BARK U eased all my fears! During her assessment, the staff provided lots of insight into her behavior, and I could tell they really paid attention. Everything they described fit her perfectly, and they ensured that she would be slowly introduced to larger play groups as she became more comfortable. The security measures and clean facility were a huge selling point for me, and so far, I am so happy with my decision! I don’t have to worry about her being safe or cared for since I know the staff at BARK U is attentive and caring.
From the moment I toured Bark U, I felt comforted knowing my dog would be staying and spending time in such a nice facility that is well kept and clean! All the staff members are so caring, kind and attentive and everyone is so communicative- internally and to me! The water park is so creative especially in this heat.
We’re new to Bark U but not new to the experience of dog endeavors. From the ease and clarity of the website to the smooth, organized and welcoming phone inquiry it was a stress free process. The facility is modern and crisp but comforting at the same time. We met some front desk staff and trainers while our puppy was evaluated and even it being a busy day with guests coming and going my observation was every single staff member was not only knowledgeable but had a pure love of their job. Our pup went on to have his first day meeting new friends and it was obvious he had a fantastic day!
I was completely over the moon pleased with the transparency, the staff and all the services offered for my girl. It helps ease the anxiety of leaving your pup behind when you know they are in the best of hands. Thank you Bark U.
Plenty of spaces and rooms for pups to play indoors and outdoors. I loved the different options they offer for boarding from the puppy bedroom’s to the extras like snuggle time. The staff is super nice as well! We can now go on vacation, knowing that Mila will be very well taken care of!
We boarded our dog at Bark U for 9 day/8 nights and were extremely happy. The check in and check out was easy, the facility is so clean, and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. We paid for some extras are were happy we did. She loved the splash pad and her kong treats and we received pictures every day so could see how much fun our girl was having. It made being away from her a lot easier.
If your dog is under 6 months old, you may pack lunch for them. For older dogs, we don’t serve lunch, but you can purchase delicious snacks like stuffed Kongs or marrow bones for some extra enjoyment.
If the weather is chilly, you don’t need to worry about jackets; we closely monitor the comfort of all our guests. If we notice any dog feeling cold, we’ll promptly bring them into our climate-controlled indoor play space to keep them cozy.
There’s no need to bring bowls, toys, or any other items—we have plenty of those for the dogs to enjoy throughout the day!
While we do not require advance bookings, we highly recommend calling ahead to secure a spot for your dog. We genuinely enjoy seeing your dog and wouldn’t want to miss out on the chance for them to play and socialize with us! Our daycare can occasionally fill up quickly, and without a reservation, we may have to turn away those who arrive without prior arrangements.
Additionally, our daycare with bus service often has a waitlist, so it’s best to book well in advance to ensure your dog doesn’t miss out on the fun!
We require assessments for all dogs that come to our facility—except for those under 5 months old. These assessments are conducted by a Certified Professional Trainer, giving us the chance to meet you and your dog, answer any questions, and ensure we understand all the expectations and needs you have for your pup.
This process is all about making sure your dog has a blast with us! Whether it’s snuggle time, extra one-on-one ball play, or any other activities they love, we want to tailor their experience to be as enjoyable as possible. Plus, it helps us determine if our facility is the perfect fit for your dog’s personality and energy!
Our Enrichment Daycare is all about giving your dog some extra special attention! In this program, your pup enjoys one-on-one time with our Enrichment Specialists, who guide them through a variety of engaging mental and physical activities. Nose work puzzles, mentally stimulating toy play, and dedicated athletic yard fun—it’s a jam-packed adventure for your dog!
On the other hand, our Signature Daycare focuses on group play and socialization, allowing your dog to romp and play with their pals throughout the day. While it’s a fantastic option for social dogs, it doesn’t include the extra activities that make Enrichment Daycare so unique.
Whichever option you choose, your dog is sure to have a tail-wagging good time!
Absolutely! Enrichment and mental activities are fantastic ways to keep boredom at bay and help prevent behavioral issues like excessive chewing, barking, or counter surfing. With our Enrichment program, your dog will enjoy personalized sessions that not only provide enhanced hands-on care but also strengthen the special bond you share with your dog.
Enrichment is especially ideal for:
Investing in Enrichment can enhance your dog’s experience, curb troublesome behaviors at home, and ensure they are having a fantastic time while they’re with us!
