Best Dog Day Care Center Richmond Near Me

4worldlovers: The Barkmont provides the finest dog daycare and boarding services in Berkeley and its surrounding communities. We’re located at the corner of San Pablo and Pardee in West Berkeley, convenient locally and a few short blocks away from the Ashby and University exits of the I80/580.

A highlight of The Barkmont is our four indoor play yards. Our main yards sit under large skylights that soak the building in warm sunlight throughout the day. Complementing our main yards are smaller adjacent yards for senior dogs, puppies or dogs who do best in smaller play groups.

Our yards are equipped with high-resolution web cams for you to check in on your pup from your computer or smart phone.

Our overnight guests enjoy clean and comfortable sleeping accommodations that come with a soft bed, clean blankets and access to fresh water at all times. At bedtime we provide a calming spa-like atmosphere with aromatherapy and soft soothing music to send our canine guests gently to sleep.

We have a dog wash station at The Barkmont and offer basic washing, brush and nail clipping as a service. Contact us to learn more.

Our mission at The Tail Haven is to be a home away from home for our canine clients. Our comprehensive training makes us uniquely qualified to exceed your expectations with extensive knowledge of dog handling, care, and behavior. At The Tail Haven, we are not dog sitters—we are dog people. That means treating every dog with compassion and care, and loving them as if they were our own. It also means creating personalized experiences for both dogs and their owners, beginning with our slow integration process.


Our slow integration process means that we work with your dog and take the time to get to know them, in order to ensure that they can enjoy their time at The Tail Haven to the fullest. We give your dog time to become comfortable with the sights, sounds, and staff members on our team before they are introduced to group play. It’s all part of our commitment to ensuring that The Tail Haven is a safe, engaging, and healthy environment for your furry friend.
