Explore Our Facility
Beaming with natural light, the Barkmont is equipped with updated plumbing, floor drains, modern ventilation, and heating systems, ensuring the highest quality dog daycare and boarding services in the Bay Area.
Our simple process makes enrolling in our dog daycare or boarding services a breeze. We care about the well-being of your dog. Because we want your pup to thrive, we do not approve every dog that registers for daycare. Just like people, not every dog loves a social, active environment. Some dogs prefer a quieter setting, and that’s perfectly ok.
Start by reviewing our requirements for vaccine, general health and evaluation information.
After reviewing the requirements, use our online registration portal to complete the necessary forms.
(Note: Dog vaccination records can either be uploaded to your account. Alternatively, your veterinarian
can send it directly to vax@the barkmont.com.)
Once you have registered and submitted your vaccination records, we’ll email you to schedule your dog’s evaluation.
Our primary goal is to make sure all dogs in our care are safe, healthy and comfortable.
Please do not hesitate to give us a call or email us if you have any further questions.
