About Us
At Barking Oaks Pet Resort & Spa, we are dedicated to providing the best care for your furry family members. Our journey began as a lifelong dream of our founder and General Manager, Hansy Howard, a professional pet stylist and dog trainer. In 1999, Hansy realized the need for a comprehensive pet resort and spa where pets could receive top-notch care while their owners were away. This vision led to the creation of Barking Oaks Pet Resort & Spa, which opened its doors to the public in November 2009.
Located on 4.3 acres of beautiful Central Texas land, our state-of-the-art facility is designed with your pets' needs in mind. Our 7,000 square feet of indoor space and 4 acres of outdoor recreational areas provide a safe, clean, and peaceful environment for your pets to relax and play. We pride ourselves on maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness, safety, and care. Our suites are professionally built for your pets' relaxation and comfort, ensuring a stress-free stay.
Our team of approximately 12 pet-loving and very caring staff members tend to our furry guests as if they were their own. From vet technicians and kennel helpers to kennel supervisors, receptionists, trainers, groomers, and managers, everyone shares the same goal: to offer the best services possible to our guests and their owners. We strive to provide a home away from home for your pets, where they will feel peaceful, content, secure, and loved.
At Barking Oaks Pet Resort & Spa, we offer a variety of services to cater to every pet's needs. Our services include boarding, daycare, grooming, private spa treatments, and dog training. We also provide activity packages to suit any energy level, ensuring that every pet has something enjoyable to do. Our facility features separate indoor and outdoor play areas with natural grass fields, Kuranda premium elevated dog beds, and a monthly pest control program to protect your pet from parasites.
