Book a Meet & Greet

New to Barklay Park?

Before your dog joins us for day care, Dog Bus transport or A Walk In The Park, we start with a relaxed Meet & Greet Visit.

It gives us the chance to meet you both, learn a little about your dog and make sure Barklay Park feels like the right fit before their first booking.

The first step

Let’s get to know your dog

Every dog is different, so we like to meet all new dogs before they join us.

Your Meet & Greet is a friendly introduction where we can chat through your dog’s personality, routine, confidence, play style and any initial care needs.

It is not a formal test. It is simply a chance for our team to get to know your dog, answer your questions and make sure we can offer the right kind of care.

Before your first booking

Why we start with a Meet & Greet

A Meet & Greet helps us make sure Barklay Park is the right environment for your dog.

It gives our team time to understand their personality, how they respond to new people and places, and what they need to feel happy, safe and settled.

Once your dog has completed their Meet & Greet and joined the Barklay Park pack, you’ll be able to request bookings through the Members Portal.
