Creating a Balanced Life for dogs and their Humans.

We’re more than just a dog care service—we’re family.

Bark N Barrel treats your dog like family with my Home-Environment, Ranch-Style Boarding, and Learn and Play Doggie Daycare that includes pack walks. I provide dog parents like you with the warm, fuzzy feeling you thought was impossible when leaving your dog in the care of someone else. Your dog craves more than just exercise and supervision. Bark N Barrel is all about creating a stimulating and social environment built to ignite your dog’s inner potential.

A Message to pet parents

“Your dog will not only get the experience they crave when they’re in my care, they will want to come back for more.”

When creating Bark N Barrel I had one thing in mind—I wanted to create a safe and structured environment where both dogs and pet parents can feel at ease. I created multiple programs structured around helping your dog feel fulfilled and relaxed. THAT is why Bark N Barrel has become a place where your dog isn’t just another wagging tail coming through the door, but they’re also a part of MY FAMILY. I care for them just as if they were my own because that’s how it should be.

Proper socialization with rules and boundaries where your dog can learn positive healthy behaviors

I lead with energy, proper communication, and natural instincts. Which creates a calm environment for your dog to grow and learn

I remove the anxiety, fear, frustration, and uncertainty so your dog can succeed

Testimonials

What my clients say

Bark n’ Barrel has been a blessing for us! Our dog has a ton of energy but is generally nervous and has a hard time turning things off and settling down. We’ve taken him to other daycare centers and he has fun and does well with other dogs, but we don’t get the support we need for how to manage his anxiety and reactivity. Debbie offers the dogs structure and not only does our little guy come home exhausted physically, but mentally he’s so much more calm and in tune with us the next day. We love that we can use Debbie as a resource and she has helped us find ways of managing our dog’s anxiety at home and we have noticed nothing but good changes in him. Above all else, our dog LOVES his time at Bark n’ Barrel. We love getting pictures and videos of him at the end of the day and we especially love that we can rest assured knowing that he’s in the most capable hands.

Hairy Pawter's Parents

Santa Rosa, California

We are relative newcomers to Debbie’s “family” … less than a year … but feel we have found a home-away-from-home for our dog Riley. Riley had been going to another daycare but was asked to leave. Riley is, shall we say, ENERGETIC. Debbie met with Riley and agreed to bring her into the fold … 2 days with pack-walks and daycare. Riley was a bit timid at first, but Debbie was a master at getting Riley comfortable and pairing her with other dogs of similar playstyles. Riley also has sleepovers at Debbie’s when we are out of town. We have such a comfort level knowing that Riley is in a supportive and caring environment with Debbie, and Riley is ecstatic!
