Barkbound is always so incredibly caring and loving towards my dog, Baby. Baby is always super excited whenever we pull into the parking lot. She loves spending her time at Barkbound and I am very grateful for how flexible and accomodating they are with my unpredictable schedule and dogsitting needs!

All of the staff goes above and beyond in caring for my Ellie. She is super excited when she sees the daycare and wants to get inside asap. Socializing with other dogs is so important to any dog and this daycare does that. I recommend Bark Bound to anyone that needs daycare and additional loving care to their furry family member.

Barkbound is a great facility with friendly staff who genuinely seem to love their jobs! Our dogs Jemma and Bucky have the time of their lives socializing and always come home exhausted ready for a good nights sleep!

Barkbound is a great facility with great people. We moved to the area a few months ago and have been trying to find a place we could trust with our dog. The folks at Barkbound were friendly and showed me around their facility and explained how everything worked on our first visit. Everyone is always so nice when we use them and our dog is always happy and healthy when she comes home. We’re very glad we found this place. Can’t recommend them enough!

The staff is absolutely amazing here. I don't think it is the right fit for my anxious pup (excessive anxiety panting after pickup). But that's just my pup he has anxiety in busy settings. The facilities are clean and staff is so caring. He was definitely well cared for on his 1st day. Thank you for giving paw parents the opportunity and piece of mind with your services.

Thorin is always so excited to go to BarkBound. They take such great care of him. And he always comes home ready for bed.

Absolutely love this place!! One thing I’d suggest though is making a spot in the app where the workers can post pictures of the owner’s dogs from their day at daycare. A lot of the times I take my dog there, she never gets posted on social media and it concerns me cause I just wanna make sure she’s doing okay and having a good time. I think adding that feature would really help!!

We take our basset hound, Maggie, to day care for socialization and exercise and she is so well cared for. She loves it and we love knowing how good they are and how worn out she will be when she comes home. We boarded her there for our vacation in September, which was also great. We never had to worry about her and Bark Bound went out of their way to help us out with a couple of extra non-scheduled days when we had delays trying to get back to TN following Helene. We would absolutely recommend Bark Bound for day care and boarding. This is a wonderful service and we are very thankful for all they do! Vanessa and Eddie Perry

Bark Bound is the absolute best! My dog Nash loves to go for daycare and boarding and doesn’t want to leave when I am there to pick him up! All of the staff treat him like he’s their own and are all so friendly. Kingsport is lucky to have this amazing facility!

They take care of our girls better than our own family would. Pretty sure they love coming here more than being at home.

They worked with my great Dane and understood his needs with his anxiety. I wish I could be able to board him but they understood he needed more time to get used to the staff. Much appreciation that kind of attention.

One of my smaller dogs, Cassie, has been escaping out of my backyard for the past few weeks. (She's been driving me absolutely insane... being continually outsmarted by a 4-year-old pup is a major hit to the ego.) 😁 I believe I finally have the fence entirely secured, but I wanted to give her a bit of an outlet for her energy and separation anxiety. So far, she and her sister have only had their initial visit to BarkBound, which was one day free of charge. I was extremely concerned because Cassie can be a bit territorial and I wasn't sure how stressed she would be at a daycare. When I came in to pick her up and get a tour of the facilities at the end of the day, she had the biggest smile on her face. She was having an absolute blast playing with the other dogs and it made me so incredibly happy to see what a fantastic time she was having. Everyone I spoke to there was extremely friendly and obviously loves dogs! I'm very happy I took my pups here and I look forward to bringing them back again in the future. They both completely conked out for the rest of the evening when I brought them home. I also thought the price per day is extremely fair and the combo price for my two pups going together is even better.

My fur baby loves this place, she get so excited when she hear the word daycare. I would recommend them if you just wanting your pet to be around other fur babies to have a play day well this will be the place. I am so keen on smell and you would think a place that has all these dogs running around and playing would be stinky but NOOOO!! It does not stink at all so I love that about this place they get a high score from me and Queenie. And the employees are Awesome also!!❤️💕😊🐩

We utilized BarkBound for daycare for our pups while we were in town and wanted to adventure out each day. They are getting old now so they can’t hike as much/as far anymore. We came across BarkBound and decided to sign them up for daycare while we went out hiking each day. The early hours and late pick up worked great for the daylight hiking trips we went on. They came home each night exhausted from their day of play and woke up ready to go back. We will definitely be coming back here whenever we are in town!

We love BarkBound! I bring Meadow once a week so she can play and be around other dogs and she loves it, as do I because she's happy and exhausted. Staff is wonderful! Keep up the great work!

We absolutely love Barkbound! It is Zeno’s home away from home. Only the best will do for our furbaby Zeno and Barkbound is exactly that. Zeno has also boarded at Barkbound when we take trips in addition to his weekly visits.

My Jaxson loves to go to dog care and we love the staff at BarkBound. They are friendly and good with dogs trust me because my dog gets so excited to go there he is a little wild when I drop him off but they handle him well. He loves it so much literally drags me into the building. They keep me informed about how he is doing there. It's a very nice facility and is always clean. I highly recommend BarkBound.

I’ve used dog daycare and boarding services before in other states with other dogs so I was fairly familiar with the process, but BarkBound’s facility and staff are above and beyond any expectations I’ve had. Not only are their services priced amazingly but their staff work with the dogs in ways that show true compassion and respect for the nature of the job. Roxie’s naturally an incredibly energetic dog, and her time with BarkBound has her coming home happy and exhausted. She enjoys it so much that once we get close to their location she loses her mind with excitement!

Barkbound is the only place I consider when boarding my pup Angus. He is high energy and does well when he is kept busy. He loves coming here where he spends all day out of a kennel and is only in one at night. Staff is very friendly and you can tell they love dogs. If they were closer to Bristol, I would definitely be bringing Angus to daycare on a regular basis.

We have boarded our dog at BarkBound several times now. The facility is clean and inviting, as you can see into the some of the boarding spaces from the lobby. All the staff seems to really care about the dogs and enjoy being around them, and check in / out are quick and easy. We will continue to use BarkBound for boarding or daycare needs in the future.

Another awesome weekend stay for Mollie at BarkBound!! My Mollie is a senior dog that requires a little extra time and attention. Jeff and the BarkBound staff go the extra mile taking care of her needs. It is so comforting to be able to leave her and know that she is happy and well taken care of while I am away. I get reports and video of her so that I can be assured that she is safe and having fun. They are constantly communicating with me at drop off, during her stay and upon pick up about ways to ensure that they are caring for her in the best way possible. They absolutely are the best!! I would not trust my fur baby to anyone but Jeff and the BarkBound staff!!

My Axel has been several times and loves it. He is so social and working from home doesn't allow for much socializing. BarkBound provides a loving environment and lots of other doggos to play with.The staff is amazing; always friendly & helpful.

Roxie has had a couple of day care visits and a long weekend board with BarkBound. She’s loved it! She comes home exhausted and is waiting at the door the next morning because she’s ready to go back. The facility is clean and the staff is caring and attentive. No complaints.

Bark bound is everything a dog needs and more. Not only does the staff love your pets and treat them like their own, the dogs are provided a clean and safe environment to socialize with other dogs. My dogs are so happy there and so calm when I pick them up. They are tired and happy! The staff at BarkBound are wonderful. So friendly and welcoming. I am so excited for the future of BarkBound

Dixie is a very timid dog. I was concerned about taking her to a doggy daycare but I wanted her to get some socialization. Jeff and the staff at Bark Bound was wonderful, making both Dixie and I feel very much at ease. Dixie is starting to come out of her shell. She is always exhausted when she comes home and sleeps the rest of the evening

The staff at Barkbound is incredible! From first glance when you walk in, this place is first class. Once the pups were picked up the security of the facility is like none other. By the time our doodles got home they were passed on the couch. Only problem is, when we open the door to leave they think they’re going to Barkbound!

When Keeva needs a break from us humans, or when we humans need a little break from her, a day at BarkBound makes us all happy! She loves playing all day long with her furry friends and comes home wagging her tail and ready for a long nap. We say around here, "BarkBound tired is good tired!" Jeff and his wonderful staff always take such good care of her. Keeva is happy to have been a Bounder for two years, and we're 100% pleased! ---Susie

Yogi is a high energy puppy that absolutely loves to play. At Barkbound, he can play with others in a fun and safe environment. The staff are knowledgeable about animals and are very courteous. After he was fed supper, he was ready for bed at 7:00. A puppy tired from playing all day is a happy puppy. We will be going to BarkBound several days a week.

They won't take Rottweilers! What kind of place is this? They are herding dogs, the breed has no aggression problems. I have had rotties in 3 states, never have they been banned. Glad Camp RuffnMore treats dogs and their owners better. Shame on this place.

So many breeds are banned. They blame insurance, but they could have picked an insurance carrier that does not discriminate against breed, like so many other local dog camp/kennels do. Makes it very clear what kennels put profit over pets.

From the staff to the care provided to our dog, BarkBound is AMAZING and we are so lucky to have this daycare accessible to us. I have no worries that our dog is taken care of while he’s there. Better yet, I KNOW he will come home tired! Thank you, BarkBound! We love you guys!
Structured, Enriching Play
Other dog daycares out there let your dog run and play, but we know all dogs aren’t wired the same way. That’s why we push beyond standard group play and focus on enriching activities. These will vary by day so there is always something new, but each of our activities focus on exercising the mind, so they are fully tired out. Be sure to follow us on social media to see some examples of our events, activities, and celebrations.
One-on-one time with your pet can be added to your daycare package, including puzzles, exercise, agility, obstacle courses, and more.
Veterinarian Approved
At BarkBound, it is our priority to create a safe, healthy, enriching environment for your pet. That is why from day one, we have consulted with veterinarians to ensure everything from the products we use, to the design of our facility, to the schedule of your pup’s day is best for your furry friend.
