Barkefellers® Westfield

Barkefellers® Westfield is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 170 East Tournament Trail in Westfield, Indiana, and it takes cats as well as dogs. Lodging is crate-free, so guests rest in open rooms rather than stacked kennels. Grooming and training run out of the same building.

What the play space is like

The facility has over 10,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor play areas, surfaced inside and out with antimicrobial synthetic turf. The outdoor side is enclosed by 8-foot solid fencing with privacy screens. Summer brings kiddie pools and cooling misters. A high-tech HVAC odor and air-quality system keeps the indoor air moving, and the building is climate controlled.

How the day runs

Dogs are grouped by size, temperament, and play style instead of being turned loose together. There are two scheduled playtimes per day, with naptime breaks in between, which suits dogs that tire out partway through.

Webcam access lets owners check in from work or the road. Staff can give medication to guests who arrive with it.
