The Barkly Pet Retreat and Spa opened its doors officially in September 2014. We wanted to provide something different and special to pet owners in the Montgomery, TX and the surrounding areas. With so many other big boarding facilities in the area, we set out to offer a more personalized approach to pet care. We might not have the large size of our competitors but we do have a professional, trained staff who all know dogs and cats extremely well. Every single employee at the Barkly is a pet owner and has a passion for caring for animals. We bring our own dogs and cats quite often to join in the daily activities with the boarded and daycare guests. They have as much fun as we do!
Starting out small and slowly expanding our services and facilities, The Barkly is just getting started! Installing a huge, incredible pool out front is one of our favorite projects (should be ready for the dogs soon!) We also completely revamped our grooming salon to maximize each and every pet’s comfort while at the spa. The future is bright for The Barkly and its amazing staff!
Even if it is your pet’s first time boarding, we can make sure they are comfortable and taken care of! Let us know if your baby needs extra attention or has any special needs. If you keep us informed, we can provide the best care possible for your pet. We have a large number of younger dogs come through for daycare to get socialized who leave happy, tired, and get to make a few friends in camp. We also cater to the needs of older pets who just need a place to relax and nap. For the Barkly employees, daycare is one of the most enjoyable parts of the day. Getting to hang out with a playful group of dogs is exciting and fun! We make sure to always have a staff member in daycare play sessions for safety and to make sure everyone is playing nicely. We can even pair your dog up with a buddy for the day if group play is too overwhelming. Every dog is evaluated before entering camp to ensure the energy in camp stays positive.
When you choose The Barkly for pet boarding, your dog or cat is sure to be pampered! Each guest has their own private room where they can hangout and relax. If your dog has a ton of energy and needs to keep moving all day long, we provide great services like day care (see below). Every guest is taken on a minimum of 3 walks per day in our large outdoor yards. These walks can be individual or if your dog is a social butterfly, walks can be done in small groups.
We recommend that you bring your dog’s regular food for meal times, but we do provide Fromm Family foods upon request. Your dog will be checked in on several times per hour by our caring staff. All dogs ALWAYS have fresh, clean water and a raised bed for their comfort. All dogs must be current on vaccinations before boarding overnight or participating in daycare. Bring your records with you if it is your first check-in, or we can call your vet to verify over the phone.
If your family has multiple dogs, take advantage of the same-room discount! If they share a room, the 2nd 3rd, 4th… etc dogs get a great discount on our low nightly rate. Each dog is tucked in at night when we close, and can sleep easy knowing we have a staff member on the property 24/7 all year round!
At The Barkly, we offer first class service to our clients and their beloved pets. We have several different options for daytime and overnight boarding for dogs and cats all year long. All of our buildings are equipped with air conditioning and heating to ensure your pet is comfortable. The rooms are clean, safe and ready for your pet to relax in. We are proud to say that we have the largest rooms around for large dogs or multi pet families!
We are more than happy to host daily group play to make sure your dog has a BLAST! Play is designed to be fun and safe and is monitored 100% of the time by one of our friendly associates. Great for socialized dogs, and even dogs that need positive interaction with other friendly dogs.
We have small dog camps and large dog camps which are held outdoors if weather permits, and inside if necessary.
Positive reinforcement methods are used to replace bad behaviors with good ones, and to teach new commands as well! We offer board and train sessions and private lessons at The Barkly. Each board and train session is paired with a FREE session of daycare to make sure your dog has fully rounded days when they board with us.
