A Better Day for Your Dog.
Every Single Day.
Most daycares are just open rooms where dogs run loose all day. At Barkingham Palace, dogs play in a stimulating, enriching environment — on luxury turf, in temperament-matched groups, supervised by a team that genuinely loves dogs.
Dogs are grouped by size and temperament, with purposeful play, rest, and routine built into the day. Our brand-new Rotterdam facility is designed around a more thoughtful care experience.

Who Barkingham Palace Is For
The Working Dog Parent
You leave for work at 7 AM and don't get home until 6. Your dog is home alone for 10 hours. That's not fair to either of you. Daycare means your dog has a full, social day while you have a guilt-free one.
See Daycare →The Frequent Traveler
You travel for work or take real vacations. You need a boarding facility you can trust completely — not a kennel, not a neighbor's couch. Routine overnight well-being checks. Live webcams. Nearby veterinary care.
See Boarding →The Anxious Dog Owner
Your dog has anxiety, reactivity, or a complicated history. You've been turned away before. We do a free temperament evaluation first, match every dog carefully, and never throw your dog into a chaotic group.

Why We Built This
Two Dog Guys.
One Royal Standard.
Chad and Jack have been best friends since they were kids growing up in Niskayuna. They've both had dogs their entire lives — and they've both been frustrated by the same thing: there's nowhere in the Capital Region that treats your dog the way you'd treat them yourself.
Jack has hands-on experience managing a dog daycare. Chad has deep roots in the Capital Region. Together, they built Barkingham Palace because they understand what a working pet parent in the Rotterdam area actually needs: reliable hours, honest care, and a facility you can see with your own eyes.
This isn't a franchise. There's no corporate playbook. It's two guys who love dogs, value the Rotterdam community, and built something they're genuinely proud of.
