Bailey's Boarding House

Bailey's Boarding House is a family-run dog boarding kennel in Rudy, Arkansas, at 7408 Old 81 Loop. It takes traditional overnight boarding stays for dogs, and the owners live on the premises, so someone is with the dogs around the clock. The business is named after Bailey, the family's Shih Tzu, whose care set the pattern for how the kennel treats its guests.

What a stay includes

The services the kennel lists for itself are short and specific:

• Custom accommodations for each dog
• Personalized care from the owners and their team
• Playtime and exercise during the stay
• Regular updates sent to owners while they travel
• 24/7 supervision, with the owners living on the property

Details past that list are light on the website, so questions about kennel setup, feeding routines, and vaccination requirements are best asked on the phone.

What makes it different

The on-site living arrangement is the clearest difference here. Dogs are not left alone overnight, and the kennel stays open for all major holidays, which covers the weeks when travel plans pile up. Owners also get regular updates while they are away, so a longer trip does not mean losing track of how the dog is doing.

Practical details

Hours run 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM every day of the week, weekends included. Booking is handled by phone at (479) 769-0327. The kennel also runs a website at baileysboardinghouse.com and a Facebook page, and the same number works for questions before a first stay.
