ScenterBarks Celebrates a Decade of Success in Dog Daycare Business

Founded by a pair of passionate dog care entrepreneurs, ScenterBarks set out with a clear mission: to create a nurturing space where dogs can thrive, exercise, and enjoy companionship while their owners are at work or busy. Over the past decade, the daycare has become a haven for dogs of all shapes and sizes, offering services such as daycare, dog walks, enrichment activities, and even special events like Santa and his sleigh visiting, summer fetes, dog first aid courses and Easter egg hunts.
A Community-Centered Approach
What sets ScenterBarks apart from many other dog care providers is their commitment to the community and their personal approach to every dog and owner they serve. Over the past ten years, they have built a strong reputation not just for their excellent care, but for their warm, welcoming atmosphere. Many clients have been with ScenterBarks for years, entrusting the team with their pets through all stages of life.
“We’re so proud to have reached this milestone,” said ScenterBarks co-founder Nikki Roberts. “What started as a small idea in the pub that no one is our area was yet doing; has grown into something we’d only imagined. It’s been such a joy to see dogs flourish here, and the support from our community has been incredible.”
Pioneering Dog Care
ScenterBarks has always been at the forefront of innovation in dog care. From their tailored enrichment programs, designed to stimulate dogs mentally and physically, to their focus on positive reinforcement and gentle care, they have set a high standard in the industry.
“We believe that every dog deserves to be happy, engaged, and treated with kindness,” Lucy Lloyd said. “Over the years, we’ve seen firsthand how much enrichment and socialization can improve a dog’s well-being, and that’s why we’re constantly evolving our programs to ensure we’re giving the very best care possible.”
Looking to the Future
While the team is thrilled to celebrate their 10th anniversary, they’re already looking ahead to the future. ScenterBarks plans to continue their high standard of care, offer more enrichment options, and even providing an online course for future entrepreneurs who are looking to become experts in the dog care world.
“We’re excited about the next chapter,” said Lucy. “The past ten years have been wonderful, and we’re looking forward to continuing to provide top-notch care and to growing alongside our amazing community.”
A Thank You to the Community
As part of their anniversary celebration, ScenterBarks is hosting a birthday party to thank their clients and the wider community for their ongoing support. The event will include cake for human and dogs, a glass to toast a decade of success and some activities for the dogs to take part in.
“We couldn’t have done it without our clients and their incredible dogs,” Lucy added. “Their trust and loyalty mean the world to us, and we’re grateful for every dog that walks through our doors.”
As ScenterBarks enters its second decade, they remain dedicated to their core values of compassion, community, and exceptional care, ensuring that Hampshire’s dogs and their owners can continue to rely on them for years to come.
