Planet Bark

Planet Bark runs dog boarding and daycare in West Hartford, CT, from a 12,000 sq. ft. indoor and outdoor facility at 37 Darcy Street. Overnight guests stay in private, climate-controlled suites, and the building is set up as an all-suites resort with four suite types rather than a row of kennels.

Services

Boarding is the main business here, with daycare running alongside it. Weekend day boarding is offered on Saturday and Sunday for owners who need a full day of coverage. Grooming can be added to a stay, and staff handle medication and special diets.

Staff members are certified in Pet First Aid and CPR.
