While boarding at The Barker Lounge is a BLAST for most of our guests, there are inherent stresses associated with this type of group-play setting...just as there are stresses for children in daycare, school, and other social settings away from mommy and daddy. Boarding at The Barker Lounge is not always for all dogs. Our expert staff goes to great lengths to determine if The Barker Lounge is a good fit for your pooch, initially and continually throughout your dog's life with us. With that being the case, prior to accepting any boarding reservations for your pooch:
1. Dogs who have not boarded with us for an extended period of time may be required to attend a day of daycare, or undergo further evaluation.
2. In addition, further evaluation may be required of senior dogs, to insure that they are able to manage the stresses associated with a boarding environment like ours. And in some cases, we may instruct you that this is no longer a good fit for your senior pooch if we believe that it is not in the best interest of your dog to board in this type of social boarding environment. Again, this is done for the safety and welfare of all of our boarding guests.
Alpharetta, GA
Boarding is available 365 days a year. There are no Check-Ins or Check-Outs on major holidays (we're open for the pooches but closed to the public). Reservations are highly recommended.
IMPORTANT: For the safety of all of our guests, dogs who have not boarded with us for an extended period of time may be required to attend a day of daycare prior to us accepting any boarding reservations. This is done for the safety and welfare of all of our boarding guests.

All boarding dogs must check-in prior to 12:00 pm. We understand that "life happens" and this is not always possible. If an exception is needed, kindly contact us to make arrangements.
Dogs can check-out anytime during our regular business hours. On the day of Check-Out, our boarding guests play for FREE until 12:00pm. All dogs who check-out after 12:00pm will be charged an additional $20 daycare fee. Please be prompt when picking up your pooch as all dogs not picked up by closing will be boarded overnight for an additional night's boarding fee.
If you need to cancel a boarding reservation, we kindly ask that you do so no later than 12pm, TWO DAYS prior to the date of the reservation. Boarders who don't show up for their reservation, or fail to give us the required TWO DAY notice, will be charged the greater of 1 night boarding or 50% of the original reservation.
Please note that, at times, a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit may be required in order to make your boarding reservation. These deposits are final at the time of collection and cannot be refunded or applied to other purchases, regardless of when the reservation is cancelled.
