Your host & dog caregiver
Laura Cristina
I’ve loved caring for dogs since I was little. From a good walk to a quiet cuddle, it’s the little things that make a dog feel happy and at home. Barkbnb is my way of sharing that love with your best friend.

05 / Our policies
A happy stay
starts with understanding.
Creating a safe, comfortable, positive place
for dogs, their people, and our family.
Please review these policies before booking.
New to Barkbnb? Let’s meet first. A complimentary meet & greet is required before your first daycare or boarding booking.
Arrange a meet & greet on Rover (opens in a new tab)Meet & greet for first-time clients
A meet & greet is mandatory for all first-time pet parents and their dogs before booking daycare or boarding. These visits are free of charge.
It’s a chance for us to meet your dog, learn about their personality, needs, and routines, and make sure they feel comfortable in our home. You can meet us, ask questions, and see the space before their stay.
Breed policy
At this time, Barkbnb does not accept pit bulls for daycare or boarding.
We recognise that a dog’s behaviour is influenced by upbringing, training, socialisation, and individual personality. We do not believe that any breed is inherently “bad.”
Dogs come from different backgrounds, and we cannot fully assess every dog’s history, temperament, or compatibility in advance. We have adopted this policy as a precaution to help maintain a safe environment for all dogs in our care.
We are exploring a more individualised assessment process and hope to revisit this policy in the future.
Behaviour & safety
Barkbnb reserves the right to accept or decline a dog based on temperament, behaviour, or compatibility, both before and during their stay. Dogs displaying aggressive, threatening, or unsafe behaviour may be refused care or asked to leave.
If our home is not the right fit for your dog, we will do our best to recommend alternative services or contacts that may better suit their needs.
Pet parent conduct
We treat every pet parent with respect and expect the same in return. Aggressive, threatening, abusive, or violent behaviour towards Barkbnb staff or others will not be tolerated and may result in immediate termination of services.
Food & supplies
Pet parents are responsible for providing all food, treats, medications, and other items their dog needs during their stay.
Please include clear instructions for feeding, medication, and any special care needs so we can follow your dog’s routine.
Emergency & veterinary information
In an emergency, we will make reasonable efforts to contact the appropriate person and seek veterinary care when necessary.
Before your dog’s stay, please provide:
- An up-to-date emergency contact.
- Current veterinarian contact information.
- Any relevant medical, behavioural, or care information.
- Authorisation for Barkbnb to contact the listed veterinarian or emergency contact if necessary.
Pricing, taxes & holiday rates
All Barkbnb prices are subject to applicable taxes. A 10% additional fee applies to the holiday days and nights listed in our holiday rates.
The prices shown above are Rover-listed prices, which include Rover fees. Please confirm your booking’s final quote, any holiday charges, and transport costs before booking.
Our commitment to you
Our goal is a loving, safe, and enjoyable environment where every dog has the best possible experience. Thank you for trusting Barkbnb with your pet and helping us maintain a respectful, safe community for everyone.
