The Bark Park Doggy Day Care Whalley's Premier Doggy Day Care Centre 🐶
Day Care, Home Boarding, House Sitting, Private Field Hire & More 🐾🏠 This... is THE BARK PARK! What makes us unique?

Situated on a unique, riverside location in the countryside village of Whalley, our doggy day care centre has been specially crafted from the ground up to provide your beloved dog with the best active and fun-filled day possible. Our devotion to the enjoyment, safety and care for your dog(s) is at the forefront of everything we do. We have FOUR ACRES of space, making us one of the largest doggy da

y care centres in the Ribble Valley! Our features include half-day and full-day doggy day care (including collection and drop off), which involves dog training, socialisation, and plenty of exercise and play! This is all brought together by the expert care and supervision from our fully trained and experienced team. What is a day at THE BARK PARK like? It starts in the morning, when our branded van arrives to collect your dog and journey to The Bark Park, where they begin their action-packed day! Whether it may be making the most of our custom-made agility courses and equipment, learning new tricks, making new friends, enjoying our plentiful amounts of toys, making the most of our wide and open dog fields, or even taking a nice dip in our on-site river, there is something here for every dog! Our site also includes warm and dry indoor rest areas, meaning if your dog ever fancied a rest, they are free to do so when they please. Rain or shine, every day is a play day! We hold a full doggy day care licence with the Ribble Valley council, giving you piece of mind that your beloved pet is being looked after in very capable hands. All our dogs are fully supervised by our highly trained and experienced staff. According to your specified feeding arrangements, our staff also ensure that your dog is fed and watered. We share large amounts of updates on our social media pages, meaning you can always see what your beloved dog has been up to throughout their day. Your dog can freely socialise with other dogs, helping to build and maintain their social temperaments. Every dog enrolled at The Bark Park is assessed on a case-by-case basis to ensure their full safety. At the end of each day your dog will be cleaned and delivered safely home. THE BARK PARK is owned and managed by Janet Sutton, who is more than happy to discuss any specific enquiries or requirements that you may have, and carefully tailor THE BARK PARK experience to suit you and your dog! Feel free to give us a call, message or email, or visit us on Ridding Lane, Whalley, BB7 9HW. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

🐾 A wonderful journey for Jackson at our doggy day care 🐾

We recently received this lovely Google review from Jen, whose newly rehomed Labrador, Jackson, first joined us earlier this year:

“Brought my newly rehomed labrador here in February for first time. Having never socialised with other dogs we were all nervous, but Janet and her team waved their magic wand and through a combination of routine at home and coming here a few days per week, he is like a different dog.

Fantastic progress and has so much fun. He gets so excited as we are pulling in to the park and runs in the gate without looking back at me!

Always well exercised and tired out at end of the day. Pick up and drop off when needed is a life saver too with my work commitments.

Thank you for looking after my dog when he is with you, your staff are all so friendly and genuinely loving with him on his arrival!”

Thank you so much for your kind words, Jen. It's been great to see Jackson grow in confidence, become more comfortable around other dogs and enjoy each of his days with us more and more. 🐶💙

At The Bark Park, our doggy day care is about more than simply keeping dogs busy. We aim to provide enriching, enjoyable days filled with appropriate socialisation, exercise, play, rest and individual care. All of this takes place at our unique, gorgeous and spacious countryside setting in Whalley.

Countryside care, riverside adventures and days designed for dogs.

🐾 Another lovely review for our secure field hire! 🐾

We recently received this fabulous Google review from Michelle after a visit to Field Three with Chico:

“We love this place for a run off the leads, always nicely mowed and clean, we went to field 3 this time. What a great addition to the already fab set up.”

Thanks so much for your lovely feedback, Michelle! We’re really pleased to hear that Field Three made such a positive impression, and Chico certainly looks like he was making the most of all that space! 🐕💨

Our private dog-walking fields give dogs the freedom to run, play and explore in a secure, enclosed environment, with plenty of room to enjoy some proper off-lead exercise.

Private, Secure and Designed Exclusively for Dogs.
