Welcome to The Barkstead, a thoughtfully designed dog boarding and daycare retreat nestled on more than 100 acres of a multi-generational century farm in Tennessee. Created for dogs who thrive with movement, enrichment, and comfort, The Barkstead combines attentive, personalized care with a calm, enriching environment where dogs can feel at ease, stay active, and enjoy their time away from home.
We offer overnight boarding, dog daycare, and a selection of thoughtful additional services designed to make each stay feel comfortable, engaging, and tailored to your dog.
Every aspect of The Barkstead has been considered with both dogs and their families in mind. From our peaceful farm setting to our hospitality-driven approach, we focus on providing an enriching experience, dependable care, and the kind of peace of mind that comes from knowing your dog is in capable, caring hands.
Meet the Family Behind the Barkstead
The Barkstead is proudly owned and operated by the Cleveland family, where a genuine love for dogs, family, and community is at the heart of everything we do.
Nestled on our family farm, The Barkstead is rooted in a legacy of hard work, thoughtful stewardship, and caring well for what has been entrusted to us. Those same values shape every detail of the experience we provide—personalized attention, intentional care, and a warm, peaceful setting designed to feel like a true retreat.
We understand the trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, and we never take that responsibility lightly. Every guest is known, valued, and cared for with genuine affection and thoughtful attention, so you can feel confident knowing your dog is in loving, capable hands.
At The Barkstead, elevated care feels personal and every stay is treated as something special. We can not wait to welcome your furry family to the farm!
