Dog Daycare — We cater to every whim and whisker.
“At Barkley Manor, your beloved dog becomes part of our family the moment they step through our doors. Every dog is unique, and we embrace their quirks, indulging their every whisker with care and comfort. Built on safety, trust, and compassion, our daycare prioritizes well-being over convenience.
Unlike other dog daycares, we don’t believe in rushing them into full days right away. Instead, we take the time to build their confidence, gradually extending their stay based on what feels right for them. For some, it’s a quick process; for others, it takes longer—either way, we follow their lead, not the clock. Our priority is their happiness, health, and trust, never treating them as just another reservation or following a one-size-fits-all schedule.
Each day is a thoughtful balance of play, learning, exercise, enrichment, and rest to nurture happy, healthy dogs. If you’re looking for a drop-off from 8am to 6pm on day one, we may not be the right fit. But if you want a daycare that puts your dog’s well-being first, you’ve found the perfect place.
Barkley Classes
With so many breeds, ages, and personalities joining our family, our first mission is to place your kid into their Barkley Class. We prioritise age, vitality, and size to ensure we group them with like-minded fur pals who will bring out the best in them.
Barkley Houses
Once settled into their class, we dive deeper into your kid’s essence, uncovering their unique needs, motivations, and distinct quirks; this helps us to place them in their Barkley House – Hedgehog, Otter or Fantail House. To do this, we allow for playful socialisation, giving them the freedom, space and time to reveal their true selves. As their confidence grows and their character unfolds, we learn which house will support them to thrive and enjoy their time with us.
To us, your kid is not just another face in the pack but a valued family member. Every day spent at Barkley celebrates their distinct spirit — from the tip of their nose to the top of their wagging tail!
Active, Sporty and Competitive
Honouring our athletic champions, Fantails are ceaseless in their energy and desire to lead the pack and tireless in their pursuit of play. They pause momentarily for a snack or a quick cuddle before bounding to their next activity. Our Fantails are eager and determined. They are beloved members of the Barkley family.
Smart, Sensitive and Creative
Hedgehog House celebrates magnificent brains, free spirits and discerning souls. They may be quieter, but their brains are busy! Our Hedgehogs prefer a small, loyal group of friends and have a divine intensity that melts us.
Social, Playful and Carefree
The Otters are our social butterflies. Worries don’t belong to these playful and energetic kids; boundless social energy, on the other hand, they have this in spades. Our friendly Otters embody the spirit of camaraderie with an infectious enthusiasm and vibrancy unmatched.
Couldn’t speak more highly of Barkley!
We have three small dogs and have been coming here for around five years since we got our first little friend. They all love it and it’s great having different spaces to suit all the doggy personalities. Feel very safe and at ease leaving our fur fam here for the day!

Amazing doggy daycare.
The staff are friendly, caring and know most of the dogs (even if you only come once/week). They separate the big and small dogs which is reassuring. My dog is always super excited when we arrive and tuckered out when he leaves.
