Testimonials
“Can't say enough great things about CeCe and how she kept my German Shepherd! Text and pics everyday, a swimming pool for her to play in and a new food for a picky eater! Did not think Billie would want to come home! A truly great place to board your dog!”

“Our 14 year old cat stayed for almost a month. While he's now happy to be home, I think he was trying to figure out how to make the move permanent when we went to pick him up. Barkin Barn offers loving, attentive care.”

"We just boarded our boxers with Barkin Barn for a weekend and we can’t say enough about how appreciative we are for the care of our fur babies. We received daily pictures and updated and felt confident in the care they received. We would highly recommend Barkin Barn and look forward to bringing our dogs back!"

CeCe is amazing! Our 2 dogs are "ranch" dogs and new to being boarded. CeCe made them feel at HOME away from home. She sent pictures to show us how great they were doing which eased our minds knowing they were in great hands! We highly recommend CeCe and will be returning to Barkin Barn for our next adventure.

Highly recommend Barking Barn! They treated our dog like family, and gave us updates on how he was doing while we were away. We’ve used other dog boarding places in the past and this one is a giant step above everyone else. We will definitely use them again in the future.

My dog Chip had a blast at Barkin Barn! He got to splash in the pool, play with toys, and run around with the other dogs all day. He was worn out when we brought him home - always our goal! Cece is friendly and kind, and was very communicative throughout the day with pictures and updates. Chip will definitely be returning!

This was the first time I had boarded my dogs. I’ll admit, I was a little nervous until CeCe sent me pictures. My dogs had so much fun!!! I’m pretty sure they didn’t want to come home. I highly recommend this kennel!

My Great Pyrenees, English Mastiff and Australian shepherd were very well taken care while we were gone for a week. The pups made new friends and came home exhausted! Cece and her family are very kind and understanding. I was getting updates on how our dogs were doing and pictures of them playing several times a day. I highly recommend Barkin Barns!

My dogs had the best time at Barkin Barn with Cece! They came home very happy and spoiled. I am a nervous dog mom and always worry when they stay with other people, but not this time. Cece sent lots of photos and communication while I was gone letting me know how they were doing. 10/10 would recommend your pup staying at the Barkin Barn. We will for sure book with her again on our next trip!

Barkin Barn took such great care of my fur baby! I haven't boarded him since he was a puppy due to a negative experience at a different place. However, a friend had such wonderful things to say about their dog's time at Barkin Barn that I had to try it. He had the best time and received so much care and attention from Cece and Mark. It's the first time that we've left that he hasn't been mad at us when we got home. I'm so grateful that I have found Barkin Barn and am able to travel without worrying about my dog!

I LOVE the Barkin Barn! Our dogs were SO happy and it was obvious how much Cece cares about the animals. Normally our dogs go to a kennel and come back acting not normal. When we picked them up from Barkin Barn there were 100% normal and happy! I immediately booked the next dates when we picked them up to ensure a spot! Thank you so much Barkin Barn for being our new go to place when we leave town!

We were in need of a great place to take our dog after our pet sitter flaked out on us. My husband found Barkin Barn, and we are so happy we did! They took such great care of our dog, they sent daily pictures and updates and even gave her pumpkin when she had an upset tummy! We will definitely be using Barkin Barn again and would recommend to friends and family!

Our Sheepadoodle stayed here for a week over the holidays. We received pictures of our dog throughout her stay and she seemed very happy when we picked her up. They have great communication and a very nice property for dogs to run and play.

Cece at Barkin Barn took wonderful care of our boy Enzo over the Thanksgiving break. The location is close to Parker and a short drive for us. We got daily updates and Enzo even made a new friend (Boomer). We will definitely be using Barkin Barn again in the future!

I was nervous about leaving our red heeler at a boarding place because she can be a little crazy at times. Cece put me at ease when I dropped her off and I felt better about leaving her. We received regular updates with pictures of our girl while we were gone. I cannot say enough good about Barkin Barn. It will be the only place our girl stays from now on!!!

Cece at Barkin Barn was very responsive to our needs for boarding our Australian Shepherd for our recent trip. She sent us regular photos of our pet interacting with the other dogs, which showed him to be very active and happy. We would definitely use Barkin Barn again if we need to board our dog.

If I could give more stars than just 5 I would. The Barkin Barn family is incredible. I brought (10) 4-week old rottweiler puppies and their mother here for a week. The space was beautiful and spacious and my babies had a room to themselves to keep them safe (being so small). Cece was amazing. She took such great care of all 11 of them while I was gone, including a runt puppy that's been struggling. When I came back they were all getting so big and healthy! I am super grateful to you all. If you ever need someone you can trust with your fur babies, bring them to Barkin Barn!!

What truly amazing dog sitters. Cece provided daily updates with photos which made us feel like our dogs were at a spa! I’m sure our dogs didn’t want to leave her home. We’ve had other dog sitters in the past. But Mark and Cece’s hearts are definitely in the right place and there no better place to take your fur babies. We’re new to the area and we’re extremely fortunate to find them. Many thanks!

Don't go anywhere else if you want the absolute best for your dog - 11 beautiful acres, lovely luxury right in their home (an ensuite bath with a gorgeous tub & shower for the dogs!) - but CeCe is the real treasure!
Our dog is a very anxious rescue we've had for 3 years and in all that time she has never spent one night away from us. We found ourselves needing to visit family in Seattle and would be gone for 10 days. Originally we planned to bring her with us, but saw the Barkin Barn flyer on our mailbox and on a whim (3 days before we were to leave) we called her. We left Sophie in her capable hands and she returned to us a completely different girl. Always aggressive with other dogs (we could not go to a dog park), she had made friends, was playing happily with the other guests and even went nose to nose with CeCe's cat (no drama). She lost weight (our vet always refers to her as "chubby") too! CeCe sent us lots of pictures and texts every day, and we were so gratified to see Sophie playing in the open fields, the fenced backyard or resting on the porch with the other dogs.
It was truly a relaxing B&B for dogs. Don't even consider anyone else if you want the best for your furry - and we do not say that lightly. We could go on and on. We plan to add a couple of days of daycare a week thanks to CeCe's great work socializing Sophie and keeping her busy. After 3 rounds of behavioral training with different specialists - CeCe accomplished what all that did not - a confident, social dog who made friends! And we had absolute confidence and peace of mind that she was getting excellent care in a home setting. Their home is lovely btw, did we mention?
We can't thank you enough CeCe! Barkin Barn rules!
