Barkin’ Buddies Resort & Daycare

Specialties

Is your dog obsessed with tennis balls? Likes to play in their water bowl? Needs their food warmed in order to eat their dinner? Each dog that enters our facility has their own personality, & we pride ourselves on knowing the likes and dislikes, special qualities, & quirks of every dog in our care. We offer group play with other dogs in one of our many outdoor yards, in our in-​ground salt water pool, as well as our indoor playroom. Your pup will be free to swim, run, roll, dig & play as much as they’d like! Barkin’ Buddies is truly the place your dog can be a dog. Our passionate, well-​trained staff provides personalized care & exceptional service to our guests on four legs, as well as their 2 legged parents. At the end of the day, you’ll be greeted by a happy, tired pup. We are one of the only off-​leash facilities who accept dogs who are more comfortable with human interaction than canine, & we offer private playtimes for those who do not do well in group settings. NO breed restriction

History

Established in 2004.

Barkin’ Buddies was created by Owner, Sherry McDonald, when she desired a place to leave her dog while out of town. She wasn’t satisfied with the kennels surrounding her, so she did what any dog loving entrepreneur would do, she created one!
