Routines Matter

A Day at the Retreat

Dogs settle in faster with a steady rhythm. Here's what a typical boarding day looks like.

  1. Morning

    Breakfast & fresh air

    Our Bark Rangers serve breakfast on your dog's schedule, then it's out the doggy door to their private patio to stretch and say hi to the neighbors.

  2. Mid-Morning

    First play session

    Group play with dogs matched by size and temperament, or one-on-one time with a Bark Ranger. Shaded oak yards, a dog playground and a 12×12 splash pad keep it fun.

  3. Midday

    Rest & recharge

    Quiet time in their climate-controlled suite, so dogs stay balanced and don't get overstimulated.

  4. Afternoon

    More play & enrichment

    Another round outside, plus any add-ons like a bath before pickup.

  5. Evening

    Dinner & meds

    Dinner exactly the way you packed it, and any medications given on time.

  6. Night

    Last potty break & bedtime

    One more trip outside, then a cozy night in their suite. Happy, tired dogs sleep well, and you can see it on the camera.

Boarding Questions, Answered

Everything families ask before booking a stay at our Spring retreat. Tap a question to open it.

How much does dog boarding cost in Spring?

Basecamp Suites are $50/night, Luxury Suites $60/night and VIP Suites $99/night. Play, camera access and medications are included. Dogs from the same family can share any suite and save 20% on each additional dog.

Which suite should I choose?

Basecamp Suite (5×6) suits most social dogs, though the shared indoor lodge can be noisy for sensitive ones. Luxury Suite (5×8) has floor-to-ceiling walls and its own air vent, so it's the quietest choice for anxious dogs. VIP Suite (10×10) adds the most space, an 8×10 turf patio, Dog TV and an iPad so you can FaceTime your dog anytime. Not sure? Tell us about your dog and we'll help.

Can I watch my dog on camera?

Yes. Every Spring boarding suite has a 24/7 camera. Log in from your phone or computer and check on your dog anytime. VIP Suites also have an iPad that answers FaceTime calls automatically, so you can see and talk to your dog.

Will my dog get to play?

Yes. Every boarding dog gets at least two play sessions a day across our four play yards, more than half an acre of shaded space with a 12×12 splash pad. Groups are matched by size and temperament and capped at 8 dogs. Dogs who prefer it get one-on-one time instead.

Who takes care of my dog?

Our Bark Rangers. Every Bark Ranger completes our in-house training and tests on dog behavior, facility sanitation and service standards, and our team includes Pet CPR and Pet First Aid certified staff.

My dog has never boarded. What should I expect?

Most dogs settle in quickly. A Luxury Suite is a great choice for nervous first-timers, and a daycare day beforehand helps your dog meet the team. We'll keep you posted during the stay.

What are drop-off and pickup times?

We're open every day, 7am to 7pm. Boarding is priced by the night, so there's no extra charge for pickups by 2pm. Pickups after 2pm are charged one day of daycare per dog, since they spend that last day playing and being cared for with us.

Is there a minimum stay?

No. Our Spring retreat has no minimum stay, so you can book a single night.

What should I bring?

Your dog's regular food in labeled, pre-measured bags or containers, and any medications in their original containers with clear instructions. Bedding is provided. If you need us to, we can provide house food for $5 per day.

Can you give my dog medication?

Yes, at no extra charge. Please bring oral and topical medications in their original containers with clear instructions. If we have any questions, we'll reach out so your pup gets the care they need every time. We don't give injectable medications.

What vaccines are required?

Current Rabies, Bordetella and DHPP. The easiest way to send records is to text a photo to (832) 447-8302 or email spring@barksandwildlife.com.
