Bed and BARKfest FAQ

Not all of our houses have fenced yards—including our Main House—and that’s intentional. While fences can offer a sense of security, they aren’t foolproof. A determined or anxious dog in a new environment can still find ways to escape, no matter how solid the fence.That’s why we never rely on fencing alone. Even at our fenced locations, outdoor time is always monitored. We believe real peace of mind comes from knowing your dog is being cared for by someone who understands their unique needs—whether that’s extra exercise, mental stimulation, calm companionship, or safe socialization. From structured walks and sniffaries to puzzle time and personalized routines, we customize each stay to help your dog settle in, feel safe, and truly enjoy their time away from home.

No way, your dog will not be crated all day. We prioritize active play, socialization, and outdoor time. Crates are used during rest periods, sometimes for feeding times or if specifically requested by you. We love helping dogs maintain the routines they are used to at home. If a dog does not crate at home, they typically can be crate free with us as well. However if a pup becomes overly anxious or destructive we may ustilize a crate if needed for safty.  

Your dog will likely be around other dogs during their stay. However, we carefully assess each dog's temperament to ensure they are placed with compatible playmates. We find that pups really enjoy getting to be with a pack. The added friends they make helps each stay truly feel like a vacay for your pup!
