Answers to Help You Plan with Confidence

Whether you're booking your dog's first daycare visit or preparing for an overnight stay,
we want you to feel fully informed every step of the way.

  • 01 Do you require a temperament test?

    We do not require a formal temperament test; however, all dogs must complete a complimentary meet and greet before their first daycare or boarding stay. This visit lasts approximately two hours and must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance.

    Meet and greets are available Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9 AM to 3 PM. If you need other days/times, please let us know and we will accommodate your schedule.

    In addition, we require that every dog complete at least one full day of daycare prior to any overnight boarding. This allows our team to observe your dog’s behavior and ensure they are comfortable in our environment.

    Please note: Dogs displaying human-directed aggression will not be accepted.

  • 02 Can I book a reservation the same day?

    Yes. We accept same-day reservations for both daycare and boarding, based on availability.

  • 03 How far in advance can I make a reservation?

    You may schedule your reservation as far in advance as you would like.

  • 04 Is a deposit required to book?

    • Boarding: A 25% deposit is required to secure your dog’s stay.

    • Daycare: No deposit is required.

  • 10 What should I bring for boarding?

    We strongly encourage all dogs to remain on the same diet while in our care. Please bring enough of your dog’s food to last their entire stay. You do not need to portion out feedings unless you prefer to—our team will follow your feeding instructions exactly as provided.

    You are also welcome to bring:

    • A clean kennel mat or dog bed
    • Familiar toys or comfort items
    • Treats or snacks your dog enjoys
    • Medications and dispensing instructions

  • 11 Can I receive reminders about my reservation or vaccinations?

    Yes. We offer reminder emails and text message notifications to keep you informed.

  • 12 Do you allow all dog breeds at Barking Boots?

    No. Sadly, insurance will not allow some breeds to attend our facility. Please contact us directly to inquire about your specific pup.
