Free Stay or Play – First-Time Guest Evaluation
To make sure Barking Acres is the right fit for your pup, we offer a complimentary first day of daycare or boarding (two-night minimum stay) for all new customers. This evaluation day helps us learn more about your dog’s personality, play style, and comfort level in our environment, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all guests.
Visiting from out of town? If you’re unable to complete the evaluation in advance, your dog’s first boarding day will serve as their evaluation. If we determine our facility isn’t the best match, we may request early pickup and ensure your pet is kept separate to prioritize comfort and safety.
