Boutique In-Home Care for Your Dog
Thoughtfully curated, small-group care in a comfortable home environment with personalized attention and regular updates.
How We Care for Your Dog
Care built around your dog’s routine, comfort and consistency
In-Home Boarding
A true home environment for your dog while you’re away.
We follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise and downtime. Best suited for dogs who do best in a calm, structured setting rather than a kennel.
Starting at $75/night
Overnight House Sitting
Care for your dog in the comfort of your home.
We maintain their routine while keeping your home secure, handling feedings, walks and day-to-day care so everything stays consistent while you’re away. Also available for cats and multi-pet households.
Starting at $110/night
Drop-In Visits
Reliable visits for dogs and cats at home.
Each visit includes feeding, walks or potty breaks, litter care, medication (as needed) and time for attention and interaction.
Starting at $30/visit
Doggy Daycare
A structured, social day in a home setting.
Dogs enjoy structured play, rest breaks and a balanced day tailored to their energy level - great for social dogs of those needing activity while you’re away.
Starting at $45/day
Our intentionally small guest list allows us to provide a more personalized and comfortable experience for every dog in our care. For a smooth arrival experience, payment is due at drop-off unless otherwise arranged in advance.
Our Story
A more thoughtful, in-home approach to dog care in Raleigh
Barking Beau’s started with a simple belief shared by Austin and Morgan: pet care should feel as close to home as possible.
After caring for dogs (and occasionally cats) for friends, neighbors, and clients through Rover, Austin and Morgan saw a gap between traditional boarding and the level of care many dogs actually need. Too often, dogs are placed in loud, high-volume environments with little structure or individual attention.
We built Barking Beau’s to be different.
We provide small-group, in-home care focused on consistency, routine, and a calm environment. Each dog is cared for intentionally, with attention to what makes them comfortable - not just what’s convenient.
As dog owners ourselves, we understand the level of trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. That’s something we take seriously every time a dog stays with us.
We’d love to care for your pup whenever you need us.
