Red Barn Dog Boarding
We Specialize in Socialization for Dogs
Boarding
Red Barn Boarding is a kennel-free one-on-one boarding facility. The dogs come to an open play area with boundaries and supervision. It will never be a free-for-all.
Includes leashed pack walks on our fenced 17 acres, and supervised leash-free play time and socialization in our secure, fenced yard.
There are five quiet zones or Zen pens. They are large 6×6 and 8×4 areas that dogs can be separated out to take naps or if they are being overstimulated, are older or have medical conditions. Bringing your own crate is not allowed.
I care for your dogs like they’re my own.
Please call ahead to reserve space for your dog. Holidays in particular may need to be booked a few months in advance.

We are located 4.5 mi from downtown Hopland in southern Mendocino County. This is a centrally located area. It is 20 minutes north to Ukiah and 20 minutes south to Cloverdale, Sonoma County and the Alexander Valley Wine Region – a fabulous area for wine tasting and food tasting.
Concierge service is available with prior arrangements. Pickup in Hopland only. Please call 707-467-7205 to talk to Kathie about this possibility. There is an extra charge for this.
Concierge service can be discussed and times can be arranged. $5.00 each way for drop off and pick up. Limited to 6 MILES
Boarding is available 7 days a week.
It is important to know that your pet is usually required to pass a socialization interview, be spayed or neutered, and be current on vaccinations. Most facilities also require animals be at least 4 months old and be in good health and flea and tick free. Proof of vaccines must be submitted before your pet’s arrival. Your veterinarian can email the info, or you may send us copies. Proof of ownership is required.
Please text or call 15 minutes before arrival 707 467-7205 and Kathie or her representative will meet you to receive your pet or return your pet to you. The reason for this policy is that it is much less disruptive to the animals that are already at the location.
Drop off and pick up times are 10-12am and 4-6 pm. Sundays are class days so pick up & drop off times may vary. Pick-ups after 4:00PM will be charged a full day of daycare at the rate of $30.00. 24-hour notice needed for additional boarding days. Availability not guaranteed and will be charged at a higher rate. Emergency situations do have exceptions – please call if you have an emergency.
During the day the dogs will have free play time all day long with the other dogs. When it is not too hot, pack walks will be available. They will have 2 nap times, and will be fed at 2 specific times.
If there are special needs dogs, I have a separate area where they can play on their own. There is a pool in both areas and a splash pad for them to play in, weather permitting.
1. Bring proof of ownership and current vaccination record, including kennel cough, rabies, DHLP. Also new requirements for a negative fecal test for giardia & hookworm, prior to boarding long term.
2. Include instructions for medication and feeding, and label food and medications with your dog’s name.
3. Dogs must arrive with a standard (webbed nylon or leather) daily collar. Link types of collars and “gentle leader” collars are for training/walking purposes only.
4. Dogs must have on-going treatment using Bravecto, Frontline or other for fleas and ticks. Do not bring dog bedding, or dog toys! Toys can cause aggression with other dogs. If your dog does have a favorite toy we can separate them out during play time but they will not have it unless they are crated at night.
5. Dogs must be spayed or neutered.
6. If your dog excessively barks, we may find it necessary to put a bark collar on your pet.
7. Some dogs, like children at day care centers, are very sensitive. If your dog is very sensitive to new environments, you may find he/she has an upset stomach for a day or two.
8. Dogs being boarded need to be crate trained. At this time there are no Kennels so this is our only option.
☆Please note that overnights and naps are the only time they will be crated unless there is an emergency.
All dogs have to be met prior and assessed for boarding. All forms can be downloaded online. Please bring hard-copies including Rabies Certificate.
Payment is due at pickup for the end of boarding. Cash or check only, no online payments.
Discounts can be applied to multiple dogs and for weekly daycare rates.
Holidays have their own rates.
All dogs must be up on all their vaccinations. Including Bordetella DHPP, rabies, lepto. We only accept Dogs that have been spayed or neutered.
Due to the Boarding Facility being at capacity, Daycare is not available.

Kathie is the Best…
Kathie puts your dogs first.
Once you meet her, you’ll see the love she has for your dog. She is knowledgeable on dog behavior, this is important to me. She takes her time letting the dog adjust to their new environment so they are most happy and are at ease. 10 stars for Kathie and her Red Barn dog boarding.
