OVERNIGHT DOG BOARDING SERVICES

Enjoy Peace of Mind While You’re on the Go

Leaving town and unable to bring your furry friend along? While it would be fantastic to bring our pets with us, it's not always an option. Barkin Barn offers secure, enjoyable, and reliable overnight dog boarding in the Elizabeth area. Your dog will have a visit filled with play in our spacious play yards before enjoying a peaceful night's sleep in our oversized kennels. We're dedicated to ensuring your dog has the best possible time at their home away from home.

What’s Included with Your Overnight Dog Boarding Stay?

Your dog is like family, and we understand that. We know that you would take your pup everywhere with you, but it’s not always doable. Barkin Barn offers the home away from home experience for your fur babies. We are here to provide the love, comfort and support for your furry family member while you are away. We understand the importance of knowing every dog's individualized needs - your dog may be shy, elderly, special needs, or a young pup that needs socializing skills. We are here to provide that special care.

Boarding Packing List

Bedding

We always say bring what makes your pup comfy while you are away, but, it’s not necessary to bring a bed with you when your pet visits us! When your pet isn’t out having fun playing with friends they will rest comfortably on a clean blanket. 

Please do bring what you feel will make your dog the most comfortable, but do remember we at Barkin Barn are not responsible if anything is chewed up or destroyed - some pups do get nervous and destroy things that they typically would not….just keep that in your mind while you pack.

Toys & Personal Items 

Again, we do want you to bring what makes your pup the most comfortable during their stay.  If you bring a toy or personal item from home, keep in mind it may get destroyed or possibly mixed up with other toys during their stay.  Please do not bring rope toys or rawhide of any kind due to the risk of choking.  

Medications & Supplements

Does your pet require medication? If so, please bring the medication in its original packaging with dosage instructions from your veterinarian. Please do not mix any medications or supplements with your pet’s food.

Leashes 

We have plenty of leashes, but if your pup requires a special harness or collar during a walk then please bring it along for their safety during walks.

Packing Food for Overnight Lodging

When your pup spends the night with us, we recommend keeping them on their own food. Since we don’t have the space to store large bags or containers, please pack food in Ziploc bags labeled with your dog’s name. 

Overnight Boarding FAQs

  • Dogs should come with enough of their own dog food for the entire stay.

  • If your dog becomes ill during their stay, you will be contacted immediately about the concern. If you are unavailable then your listed veterinarian will be contacted, but if needed your dog will be taken to urgent care for necessary care - all at the owner’s cost.

  • Since our dogs interact in an all-day play environment, it’s important for them to get along well with others. We require that your pup first complete the Camper Interview process so we can see how they interact with other dogs and people.

    To maintain our incredibly high safety standards and satisfaction ratings, we require your pup to be:

    -At least four months old

    -Spayed or neutered (if seven months old or older)

    -Current on Rabies, Distemper and Bordetella vaccines*

    -Flea/tick-free and in good overall health

    -Free of wounds or stitches of any kind

    -Wearing a quick-release collar (not a break-away collar)

    -Friendly with other dogs and people

    -Able to pass our Camper Interview and trial day

    -Wearing a name tag

  • You can drop your pup off Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and Saturday and Sunday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Pups that need to be dropped off earlier, can be dropped off as early as 6:30 AM with an additional early drop off fee of 20.00.

    Barkin Barn works like a hotel. Our checkout time is at Noon. If you pick your pup up after Noon, a daycare charge will apply.
