Welcome to Bark Lane

We're excited to welcome you to Bark Lane Daycare – our rebranded company bringing you the same exceptional care and enrichment-led approach you've come to love, now under a fresh new name.

While our name has changed, our commitment to providing premium, personalized dog daycare with small groups, enrichment activities, and our signature school bus service remains stronger than ever.

A boutique approach to daycare that puts your dog's individual needs first, creating a truly personalized experience in a warm, caring environment.

Enrichment-led routine

From sniffari walks and puzzle games to quiet cuddle corners, we build in activities that tire your dog’s brain as much as their paws.

Small, trusted groups

Carefully matched play groups by size, personality and play style, so your dog is always surrounded by like-minded friends.
