Barkhouse, a new dog daycare and boarding concept, has opened its flagship location in the heart of Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood. Founded by a husband and wife team, Barkhouse was created to provide a warm, modern, and highly supervised environment for New York City dogs, offering enrichment-led daycare, overnight boarding, self-wash, and a curated retail boutique.

Why it matters

The opening of Barkhouse represents a new premium option for dog care in New York City, where many pet owners struggle to find clean, service-driven facilities that prioritize the wellbeing and enrichment of their canine companions. As the city continues to see an influx of dog owners, specialized businesses like Barkhouse aim to set a new standard for dog care.

The details

Barkhouse's 5,000-square-foot space includes enrichment-led play areas, private and group boarding suites, and a retail boutique featuring elevated pet products and gifts. The husband and wife founders, Jeffrey and Gabriella Carlson, were inspired to create Barkhouse after their own search for high-quality dog care in NYC came up short. Their goal is to provide a warm, transparent, and wellness-focused environment for dogs and their owners.

• Barkhouse opened its flagship location in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood in February 2026.
