Barks and Bubbles Pet Grooming, Boarding and Daycare

Barks and Bubbles Pet Grooming, Boarding and Daycare offers dog boarding and daycare in Northport, AL, with a grooming shop in the same building. It runs as an open-play, cage-free facility, so dogs spend their days together in supervised groups rather than alone in a run. The business is located at 2410 36th Street.

How a day is structured

Dogs are grouped by size before play starts. The schedule alternates playtime with nap and cool-down breaks, so a high-energy dog is not going full speed from drop-off to pickup. The outdoor play space includes pools, sandboxes, and slides. Dogs staying overnight are fed separately.

What to sort out before a first boarding stay

Because the daycare is open play, Barks and Bubbles runs a temperament evaluation before a boarding reservation. Not every dog settles into a group setting, and that evaluation is how the staff finds out which dogs do. Owners planning a first overnight stay should leave time for that step rather than booking cold.
