Baronwood Kennels

Baronwood Kennels handles dog boarding, daycare, grooming, and training at 17220 New Halls Ferry Road in Florissant, MO, for both dogs and cats. It is a family-owned kennel, and the owners live on the premises, so someone is on the property around the clock, including overnight and during rough weather.

Where pets stay

Accommodations come in three forms: Regular Kennels, roomier Penthouse Suites, and Cat Condos. Rooms are cleaned twice a day, and dogs are let outside four times a day. Every building has central air and central heat, and backup generators keep things running through a power outage. Published nightly rates for dogs run $43 to $55.

Dogs that other kennels sometimes turn down

Baronwood accepts pit bulls, and it boards dogs that are unfriendly toward other dogs or toward people. Staff can also give medication on schedule and feed a dog's own special diet. The buildings sit in a country setting with outdoor space, and the same grounds are where the owners live.

For owners in the Florissant and greater St. Louis area, the draw here is the combination of on-site owners, climate-controlled buildings, and a willingness to take dogs that need to be kept away from other dogs.
