Bark-N-Bubbles

Bark-N-Bubbles is a dog boarding and daycare kennel at 154 Riverlin Street in Millbury, MA, that also offers grooming and cat boarding. It accepts dogs of every size, from small breeds up to giants. Owners book by phone, and the kennel is open seven days a week.

What does a boarding stay include?

Boarding dogs sleep in climate-controlled kennels with raised, off-the-floor bedding and fresh water. Days are spent in all-day group play, with dogs grouped by size and personality. When the weather is warm, kiddie pools come out so dogs can splash and cool off.

Not every dog wants a crowd. Private suites and private, weather-sheltered outdoor runs are available for dogs that do better with their own space.

Which services does Bark-N-Bubbles offer?

• Dog boarding in climate-controlled kennels
• Dog daycare with group play matched by size and personality
• Grooming
• Cat boarding in a separate, quiet, dog-free area
• Medication administration and special diets

The kennel's website describes its approach as pet-first, with an emphasis on play and individual attention. The outdoor space and all-day play schedule suit dogs that need to burn off energy. Cats stay in their own area, away from the dogs.

What should owners know before booking?

Vaccinations are required, so it is worth calling ahead to confirm which records the kennel needs. Reservations are made by phone at 508-865-8155. Dogs on medication or a special diet can be accommodated, which matters for older dogs and those with sensitive stomachs.

Bark-N-Bubbles has an open-door policy and gives complimentary facility tours, so owners can see the kennels and outdoor areas before committing. Hours are 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Saturday, and 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Sunday.
