Our Story

Barking Acres Country Club is proudly owned and operated by Heather Fries-Lewis and Kimberly Babcock, two devoted animal care professionals who share a passion for creating a space where pets feel safe, loved, and at ease.

 

Located on the Primary Care Animal Hospital campus in Arroyo Grande, Barking Acres blends luxury accommodations with the comfort of expert oversight. Every detail, from our thoughtfully designed suites to our attentive, compassionate staff, reflects a deep commitment to each pet’s well-being.

 

Heather and Kimberly’s shared vision was to build a premier boarding destination where pets can relax, play, and thrive. Today, Barking Acres sets a new standard for pet care on the Central Coast, where every guest receives the same level of care and comfort they’d enjoy at home.
