Trusted Dog Day Care & Boarding Services

We know we're not just caring for your dog. We're taking care of a member of your family.

Located in the woods of Essex, Massachusetts, and less than one mile off of Route 128, Barn Dog is your dog's home away from home. You'll never have to worry about your doggie's safety or comfort when staying at our 3,360 square foot barn that was purposefully-built exclusively for caring for your pup. With play areas indoors and outdoors with 4,500 square feet of fully-fenced in, secure outdoor play space, your dog can enjoy life on the farm at the big red barn while you're at work or away on travel.

Benefits of Day Camp

Why should I bring my dog to day camp?

Regular daycare provides many physical and mental benefits, including:

  • Plenty of exercise to maintain a healthy weight and energy level

  • Improved socialization with dogs and people

  • Relief from boredom, anxiety, and destructive behaviors at home

  • Healthy mental stimulation

  • Enhanced overall quality of life

  • Safe, supervised play throughout the day

Health & Safety

What health requirements must my dog meet?

For the health and safety of every camper, dogs must:

  • Be in good general health

  • Be current on all required vaccinations

  • Be on heartworm and flea/tick preventatives

  • Have current veterinary documentation on file

  • Be social with other dogs

  • Meet our behavior screening requirements. We truly believe there are no bad dogs—some simply prefer different environments or don't enjoy group play. If we determine that group daycare isn't the best fit, we'll let you know.

Our commitment to health, safety, and positive social experiences helps ensure every dog enjoys a fun and successful day at Barn Dog Daycamp.
