Karen founded The Bark Shack after dreaming of owning a kennel since the age of 9. After 20 years in Corporate Sales and as a radio personality, she finally created her first dog boarding facility in 2007. In 2012, she opened her last, and greatest. The Bark Shack. Now its time for the next generation. The Bark Shack is now co-owned & operated by Izzie Holland.
A degree in business along with an uncanny knack for marketing helped her with the business side of things, but a genuine love for animals is what makes this 2nd generation owner the perfect fit. Feel free to email, call, or text any of the contacts listed below, for more information AND/OR reservations.

Despite our name, The Bark Shack, we do welcome & enjoy cats & other household pets (exotics)!
Its a social community for cats to get to know one another if they wish.
If not, there are plenty of climbing trees, hidey spots, and warm comfy beds for each to have a place of their own.
A large window/sill is also available for the kitties to watch the world.
Not all felines like to share.
These discerning cats will have private condos with plenty of visibility, fluffy bedding, and anything you wish to bring from home.

We, however, are trailblazers in our industry & we KNOW there are MANY other points to consider;.
To achieve our SAFE environment, we have adopted strict guidelines.
These guidelines combined, with YOUR PET'S personality, help us determine his/her playgroup.
Not all dogs would be in the same yard, but they must be able to move from yard to yard, AKA the "Doggy Shuffle".
PRIMARY PLAYERS MAY STILL REQUIRE PRIVATE BOARDING.
Ask us for clarification.
If your pet is over seven months, & NOT spayed or neutered, he/she will be a reserved player.

Don't prefer a full clipping and grooming, perhaps just a bath & nail trim?
We will gladly oblige.
Nail grinding (dremmeling) is also available to smooth & round the edges of your pet's nails.
If you wish for the WORKS!, we will begin with a quick brush out to remove dead hair & dirt.
We follow with a warm, soothing bath, a gentle scrub & a protein-infused conditioner to make their coat silky & soft.
We will continue with the Breed Cut & Styling (or we can be a bit more creative if you wish to be daring).
