Traveling can be stressful enough without worrying about where your dog will stay. The Barrie Inn offers cageless dog boarding designed to give dogs more freedom, comfort, activity, and companionship while their owners are away.
Instead of spending most of the day confined to a traditional kennel, eligible boarding guests can enjoy supervised time in a spacious environment where they can move, play, relax, and interact with other compatible dogs.
Our knowledgeable and attentive staff works to help every dog feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay.
Cageless boarding is an overnight pet-care option that allows dogs to spend much of their stay outside of traditional cages or runs.
At The Barrie Inn, we cater to dogs’ social nature and desire for companionship while maintaining a safe and supervised environment. Dogs can enjoy activity, attention, exercise, and rest as part of their daily boarding routine.
