A home-from-home for your dog.
Part of the Family - Barry was built around one standard: your dog should feel completely at home, even when you’re away.
We offer a calm, one-booking-at-a-time experience where your dog becomes part of our family — no kennels, no rotations, no overcrowding. Just a safe, relaxed home with the care, attention, and routine they’re used to.
With access to beautiful coastal and green walking spots, every stay includes plenty of exercise and enrichment. And with regular updates and photos, you’ll always know they’re happy and settled.
This isn’t just dog boarding — it’s a home-from-home.

"Phoebe looked after our dogs for six days when we went to Portugal, and she couldn't have been more caring and responsive to our needs, giving us lots of updates. It was so easy to communicate with her. I felt very happy knowing that our dogs were in her care, and I'd love to use her again in the future and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone else looking for someone to look after their pets. Thanks, Phoebe!"

"Phoebe and family were absolutely brilliant! My whippets are fairly shy but after half a day had fully settled in (which is rare for them). I had daily updates and they were very well looked after, with lots of tlc. Thoroughly recommend!"

"Great. Benji had a great holiday with Phoebe while we had ours. Phoebe took great care of him and he got plenty of exercise!"

"If you want your dog to be with a lovely family and well taken care of then choose Phoebe. I am so happy with the way she cared for my dog. We went away for 8 nights and I needed someone who was great with shy dogs as my dog is a rescue and can be a little unsure at first. We had never left him before so I was nervous, Phoebe reassured me and she and the family bonded with him straight away. I was sent plenty of update's and photos and he looked so happy. I will definitely be sending him back."
