Luxury Dog Boarding | Chillicothe, OH

Leaving your dog should never mean settling for crowded kennels or impersonal runs. At Barks & Bows Pet Spa, our luxury dog boarding is designed for owners who see their pets as family. Each dog enjoys a private 6x6 suite complete with a real bed, TV, and Alexa, providing comfort and calm that mirrors home. We never use cages for boarding. Instead, our guests rest in their suites only for meals and sleep, spending the rest of their day in supervised, cage-free play with other dogs. This setup is ideal for anxious or high-energy pets who struggle in traditional kennels. Located in the heart of Chillicothe and drawing clients from Waverly and Circleville, our facility offers a wellness-first approach. Every aspect of our boarding service is informed by decades of experience as skin and coat experts, ensuring your dog's health, safety, and happiness from check-in to pickup.

Our team is led by a Certified K9 Aesthetician with over 30 years in advanced canine care, and every staff member holds professional certifications. This 'expert-only' approach sets us apart from technician-led boarding options in Ross County. We are proud to specialize in anxiety mitigation and behavioral support, welcoming dogs that big-box boarding facilities often turn away. Our protocols focus on both physical and emotional well-being, from rigorous sanitation to individualized attention for each guest. We screen every dog for skin, coat, and health issues during their stay, providing peace of mind for families who want more than just a place to sleep for their pet. Barks & Bows has twice been voted 'Best Groomer in Chillicothe' and is renowned for its compassionate, inclusive environment. We are LGBTQ+ friendly, fully accessible, and committed to providing a safe, affirming space for every pet and human who walks through our doors.

Our luxury boarding isn't just about a nicer room. Each dog receives individualized care, with daily routines built around cage-free socialization, mental enrichment, and physical activity. The 6x6 private suites are climate controlled and equipped with familiar comforts like TVs and Alexa to reduce stress and mimic home routines. Dogs are supervised by staff trained in calming techniques and wellness monitoring, ideal for seniors, puppies, or those with special needs. Our play-based daycare keeps dogs active and happy during the day, while strict cleaning protocols ensure a healthy environment. We use only pet-safe, hospital-grade cleaning products and maintain direct communication with owners if any health or behavioral concerns arise. With weight-based pricing and a typical average spend of $80 per visit, we provide a premium experience for every guest. Our facility is designed exclusively for dogs, with no cats accepted, ensuring a focused and safe environment for canine guests.

Choosing luxury dog boarding at Barks & Bows Pet Spa means trusting your companion to experienced hands that understand both the science and the heart of canine care. We welcome dogs from across Chillicothe, Waverly, Circleville, and beyond who need more than just a kennel. Whether your pet is a first-timer, has special medical needs, or is considered a 'Petco reject,' our facility provides the patience, compassion, and expertise every dog deserves. Our transparent communication ensures you stay informed throughout your dog's stay, and our online booking system through Moego makes scheduling easy and secure. We are proud to offer an affirming, accessible environment where every dog is treated like family. For questions or to book a suite, contact us at 80 Logan St or call 740-851-9190.
