Bark-O Bunk House

Bark-O Bunk House is an in-home dog boarding service in Greenville, SC that hosts one dog at a time, so each dog is the only guest. Boarding is cage-free. The owner is retired and home, so dogs are never left unsupervised.

How is a one-dog home different from a kennel?

At a larger kennel, a dog shares space with many other boarders. This setup is closer to staying with a friend who knows dogs well. The home takes just one boarder at a time, and the resident beagle, Edie Jo, keeps visiting dogs company. The website describes a quiet, clean home where guests become part of the household instead of staying in an enclosure. Care is aimed at adult and senior dogs, which suits older dogs that do best with a calm routine.

What services are included?

• Overnight boarding with 24/7 supervision
• Fully fenced front and back yards for outdoor time
• Medication administration and special diets
• Daily photo and video updates while owners are away
• A free meet-and-greet consultation before booking

What should owners know before booking?

Bark-O Bunk House accepts small and medium dogs, and vaccinations are required. Rates listed on the website run from $50 to $60 per day. Booking is handled by phone at 864-610-5776. The free meet-and-greet gives the owner, their dog, and Edie Jo a chance to see whether the stay is a good fit. The business is insured through Pet Sitters Associates.

Who is it a good fit for?

Owners of senior dogs, or dogs that need medications or a special diet, may find this format easier than a busy facility. It also works well for dogs that do better with one-on-one attention than with a crowd. Since there is room for only one guest, it helps to call well before a planned trip.
