@ The Barksville Inn
Boarding Services
Heading out of town or coming into the Finger Lakes area and needing dog care. For dog parents looking for a safe, healthy and fun home for dogs - not a traditional overcrowded boarding kennel with 4 x 10' runs - The Barksville Inn proudly offers affordable all-inclusive, cage-free boarding - a true home-away-from-home your dog will love.
As descendants of wolves, dogs are instinctual social pack animals that seek to join whatever pack is nearby rather than being alone. Unfortunately, traditional boarding facilities and/or dog kennels have been designed to maximize profit and ease of care for the owner instead of meeting the dog’s inherent needs. Additionally, boutique boarding businesses have opened coast to coast offering expensive “private suites” that look appealing to dog parents but can be cold and lonely spaces to your dog and the cause of unnecessary anxiety.
The Barksville Inn is an in-home, pack-friendly communal living space – a true home away from home for dogs. Instead of confined kennels we have created a variety of individual safe sleeping spaces that the dogs choose themselves. We welcome you to bring your pups bed, blanket and/or favorite toy to help them feel safe from the familiar smell of home. With flexible drop-off and pick-up times and never any additional fees - we take the stress out of pet care.

AGE / WEIGHT: All dogs must be at least 16 weeks of age and no more than 60 pounds. In addition, all dogs must house trained (accidents happen, our sealed wood floors get steamed cleaned every even day with pet friendly natural products and all guests have 24-hour outdoor access).
VACCINATIONS: Like humans, vaccinating your dog could save them from preventable deadly canine illnesses. In addition, dogs should be treated for flea and ticks (in the summer months at least). By limiting the number of guests, to a maximum of five (5) dogs at any given time, the chance of infectious disease transition (such as kennel cough) is greatly reduced. However; as dog parents, we highly recommend, but do not require, the following for your dog:
1. DHLPP or DAPP (distemper/parvo)
2. Bordetella
3 Canine Influenza (dog flu)
** New York State law requires all dogs over 4 months old to be vaccinated for Rabbies and to be updated every three years.
