About Bark Palace Doggie Daycare, Kennel and SPA
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.
Our 12k square foot facility is designed to give your dog a full experience of interaction with both other dogs and humans in a social setting designed for the domestic dog. Every dog attending a full day of daycare or boarding will have their own suite 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.
I know how important it is to have care givers for my 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.

What makes Bark Palace different than any other Kennel?
We are not a franchise or a chain. We’re a family owned and operated small business. Our goal is to offer your dog a cage free environment where the majority of their day is spent interacting with humans and other dogs in a demystified atmosphere. In a “traditional” kennel, your dog can be left in a cage most of the day and may be let out briefly or placed in an outdoor run a couple of times a day with an offer of 15 minutes playtime with staff for an additional fee. In a “traditional” doggie daycare setting your dog could be placed in a playgroup for 8-12 hours without any private reprieve.
Our philosophy is every dog needs stimulated play, but at intervals designed for a domestic dog. Every Over Night Boarder and full day daycare guest will have a private suite for them to use for nap time, private moments needed during the day at no additional cost. Our guest will have morning noon and evening play hours with surround sound music and not placed in their suites for the night before 7:30 PM. Human interaction is a big part of the dog’s day. Our trained staff will be engaged with all inside/outside playtimes.
