A letter to our guests,
Dear Visitor,
When life brought me back to Sterling 20 years ago, I came with a young dog and a dream to create a boarding facility enjoyed by dogs and their owners alike; a place where dogs felt safe, loved and happy and their owners found a supportive community. Three years ago I began working to make that dream a reality and now we see it ready to open.
Welcome. Again, Welcome. It’s my hope that you’ll find the Barkery a place where you will enjoy working with your dog whether in playing, training, swimming *, or grooming. I hope, too, that it will a place where you will gather with friends to enjoy your dogs and share ideas.
Secondly, the Barkery was designed to be a place where your dog feels safe and loved if you have to be gone. I want them to have play and exercise time daily and to enjoy all the things my own dogs do: play, exercise, one on one time, puzzles, training, and good food, including special treats and holiday meals.
Lastly, I want to support you. I am working to provide the treats, equipment, training tools, and clothing you may need to strength-en your Pet Parent Life.
The Barkery is 20 years in the dreaming and 3 years in the making…. May it become a source of joy for you, your dog, and your Pet Parent friends.
