Baltimore Bark House

Baltimore Bark House is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 3842 E Lombard Street in Baltimore, MD. It offers overnight stays, group play, grooming, and training in one place. It takes small, medium, large, and giant dogs and has no breed or size restrictions.

What does a stay look like?

Boarding dogs sleep in private, climate-controlled suites, and staff supervise them around the clock. During the day, dogs can play indoors or go outside to the Bark Park, which has three separate play areas and seasonal splash zones. Owners can check on their dog through webcam access while they're away.

The kennel focuses on purposeful play rather than nonstop activity. Staff lead enrichment games built around recall, impulse control, puzzles, and scent work, so dogs get mental exercise as well as physical play.

Is it a good fit for shy or selective dogs?

Not every dog enjoys a big, busy playgroup. The Small Pack Program puts dogs in smaller, calmer groups, which can suit timid or older dogs and dogs that are still building confidence. The kennel describes its programs as open to dogs that need extra time to get used to new people or other dogs.
