Bark Avenue

Bark Avenue is a pet resort at 10427 Alta Drive in Jacksonville, FL, offering dog boarding, daycare, and grooming, with separate suites for cats. It is open 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM seven days a week, so drop-off and pickup both fit around a normal workday.

What services are available?

Overnight guests stay in standard or luxury suites, each with an attached patio. The building is climate controlled, and play time is split between supervised indoor and outdoor areas. Grooming is handled on site. Daycare is available on its own for dogs who need a day of activity rather than an overnight stay.

• Standard and luxury dog suites with attached patios
• Cat suites
• Supervised indoor and outdoor play areas
• Dog grooming and daycare
• Webcam access during a stay

What makes this kennel different?

Every boarding pet gets complimentary one-on-one playtime, once in the morning and once in the evening. That is worth knowing for dogs who don't settle well in a group, since individual attention is part of the standard stay. Supervision runs around the clock, and the facility uses double-gated entries and fire detection systems. A veterinarian is on call.

Owners who want to see how the day is going can use webcam access instead of waiting for a photo at pickup.

How does booking work?

Reservations go through the Gingr app, which also holds pet records and vaccination paperwork. Vaccinations are required before any stay, so it helps to upload them ahead of a first visit. Boarding rates published by the resort run $55 to $95 per night, depending on the suite. Anyone with questions about a specific dog, a specific date, or a nervous temperament can call (904) 757-3295 or email bark.avenue@yahoo.com.
