The Barker Retreat approach

Care shaped around the dog.

A home-style alternative for families who want direct communication and a more personal care experience.

Before the first stay, we discuss your dog’s routine, temperament, feeding, medication information and care needs. A meet-and-greet helps both sides decide whether the arrangement is a good fit.
