About Us

Located in Wheeler, Illinois, we provide a unique pet-sitting experience where your dog can feel relaxed, confident, and right at home. With years of animal care experience, we ensure your furry friend receives the love and attention they deserve.

Our experience

Our journey began on a family horse farm, where caring for animals was a way of life. This lifelong passion led to designing, opening, and operating a kennel near Watson, IL, where we gained extensive experience with dogs of all sizes. The BarkYard is a smaller, more personalized venture, allowing us to care for just 1-2 dogs in addition to our own, ensuring a true home-away-from-home experience.
