Lodging FAQs
What are the prerequisites to board my dog at BARK U?
Along with all the proper vaccinations, 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 opportunity to meet you and your dog, answer any questions, and ensure we fully understand all the expectations and needs you have for your pup.
This process is all about making sure your dog has the best experience while staying with us! Whether it’s cozy cuddle time, exciting play sessions, or any other activities they enjoy, we want to tailor their lodging experience to be as delightful as possible. Plus, it helps us determine if our lodging facility is the perfect fit for your dog’s unique personality and energy!
What is included in the price for lodging?

What should I pack for my dog’s overnight stay?
- For our Cozy and Premium lodging guests: Feel free to bring 1 cuddle item to make their stay cozier. If your dog is staying in our luxurious Penthouse, they can bring unlimited cuddle items! Don’t forget to review our approved Cuddle Items list for the best options.
- Meals and treats from home should be packed in pre-portioned bags for easy feeding (reusable bags are welcome, and we’ll return them after your pet’s stay!). If you’re bringing wet food, you do not have to pre-portion it. Just remember, large containers or bags with multiple meals won’t be accepted. If the food isn’t portioned correctly, we’ll apply a bagging fee as our team will need to portion it for accuracy and proper distribution.
- Please bring medication in its original container properly labeled. Do NOT put supplements or powders in pre-portioned meal bags. These will be taken out and will be store separately away from the food.
What if my dog cannot socialize with other dogs or only enjoys a few dogs?
While we conduct a thorough assessment of your dog during the initial enrollment, behaviors can change as dogs mature, which may necessitate a reassessment of their placement in daycare or group play. If, during your dog’s stay, our trainers determine that their behavior is not suitable for a positive group play environment, your dog may be transitioned to either Selective Group Play or Private Care. This ensures that your dog can enjoy their time at BARK U in a setting that aligns with their temperament and needs. Please note that these accommodations may incur an additional fee due to the labor-intensive nature of supervised play and care.
Will my dog be in a crate all day?
We play all day at BARK U! Your dog will only be in their designated sleeping area for mealtimes and bedtime. All day group play (Signature Daycare) is included for all guests, with supervision from our trained and certified staff. Signature Daycare also includes access to our pop up events and seasonal parties throughout the year. During the summer months, the Water Park is available for all dogs to use. Premium and Penthouse guests enjoy the BARK U Water Park free of charge.
Your dog will always be crate-free during playtime hours!
What is a Cuddle Item?
A Cuddle Item provides additional familiarity and security to dogs while staying in our lodging accommodations in order to maximize comfort.
Acceptable Items:
- Towel/blanket (no larger than a beach towel)
- Tee shirt
- Sweatshirt (no strings)
- Small pillow/crate mat
Unacceptable items include:
- Stuffed toys or pre-chewed items
- Underwear
- Shoes/socks
- Dog beds
Are Cuddle Items required?
No, Cuddle Items are not required. They are offered as an additional ‘home away from home’ option when your dog stays with us for lodging services.
Cuddle Items are not recommended for dogs with a history of ingesting inedible items and/or destructive behavior. If your dog destroys their Cuddle Item, we will remove it from their suite for healthy and safety purposes.
Why are there limitations on Cuddle Items for certain lodging suites?
Dogs and their Cuddle Items are monitored by staff throughout the night to ensure that dogs do not destroy their items, in turn creating potential health and safety concerns.
Therefore, only Penthouse guests may have unlimited Cuddle Items. This ensures staff to not have to “over monitor” multiple items in every suite.
Penthouse guests receive exclusive benefits and perks when lodging at BARK U. In addition to unlimited Cuddle Items, Penthouse guests have additional Cuddle perks, such as permission to bring toys as Cuddle Items.
