available for our guests. We ask that you review our cancellation policies
in the event your plans change and you need to cancel your dog’s boarding
stay at the Barkmont. For more information about our policies check out
our FAQ page.
Non-Holiday Cancellation: For most of the year, you may cancel
your reservation with no penalty up to 4pm the day before your
dog’s scheduled stay. Cancellations that occur after this window
closes will be charged for one night of boarding.
Example: Dave schedules a boarding reservation for February 3rd.
Later, he decides he needs to cancel this reservation. He must cancel
his reservation by 4pm on February 2nd to avoid being charged for
a night of boarding.
Holiday Cancellation: Due to the high demand over the holidays,
we require a 100% deposit for major holiday bookings.
If the booking is canceled before the first of the month in which the
holiday occurs, the deposit will be fully refunded. We are unable to
issue refunds or transfer dates if the cancellation occurs after the
first of the month.

easy knowing your dog will be treated like a VIP… or should we say VID, Very Important Dog.
They’ll be under the care of our expertly trained staff, receiving the personalized attention
they deserve.
Before becoming a guest at The Barkmont Hotel, we ask that your dog have
at least one introductory daycare session and one overnight stay before any additional
stays are booked. We want to ensure they feel comfortable and relaxed in our social environment.




Boarding Enrollment
Each dog is required to go through an evaluation and a daycare stay before scheduling
a boarding reservation. We care about the well-being of your dog. Because we want your
pup to thrive, we do not approve every dog that registers at The Barkmont. Just like people,
not every dog loves a social, active environment. Some dogs prefer a quieter setting, and
that’s perfectly ok!
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.
Please do not hesitate to give us a call or email us if you have any further questions.






I am so thankful to have a group we can trust when we go
out of town to take care of our dog. She always runs right
into the door when we drop her off and comes home
exhausted from all the fun she has.
They are very communicative about policy changes and we
respect their choices they make to keep our dog safe.
With the increase in kennel cough this winter we were
nervous boarding her but they assured us they were
consulting with vets and made decisions to protect our pup.
We really like that we can see the dogs playing during the day
on the webcam and that they also seem to make good decisions
about when to put them in quiet time to nap.”
