Barker's Cove Kennels & Grooming

Barker's Cove Kennels & Grooming is a dog boarding and dog daycare facility in Picayune, MS, at 1 Barker's Cove. It takes dogs of every size, from small breeds through giant ones, and also does grooming. Boarding is $40 per night, and reservations are made online.

What a boarding stay includes

The kennel is climate-controlled, and every boarding guest is given fresh, sanitized bedding. The daily routine is built around multiple potty breaks and limited kennel time, with indoor play and outdoor play in a secure backyard. Owners who want a bath and trim before pickup can add grooming to the stay.

How dogs are grouped for play

Group play is supervised and structured, with dogs sorted by size and temperament rather than turned out all together. New dogs can come in first for a free Meet and Greet evaluation day, which lets the staff see how a dog handles the group before a longer stay is booked.

Staff and special-needs care

The staff is CPR-certified, and the facility holds a certification in geriatric dog care. That is worth noting for older dogs or dogs that need a slower pace. Staff also administer medication, so dogs on a daily prescription can keep their schedule while boarding. Vaccinations are required for every dog.
