Trusted Dog Boarding near Oak Ridge, NC
Overnight lodging tends to get described in terms of where a dog sleeps. We’d rather talk about what happens the other sixteen hours. Dogs from Oak Ridge who board at Bark & Fly Ranch get a genuine day first — movement, company, fresh air — and the sleeping room is simply where all of that winds down.
Groups here are built deliberately. Before your dog joins one, we look at how big they are, how hard they play, and what kind of company suits them, then match accordingly. From there the yards do the work: acres of grass to sprint across, sniff through, wrestle in, and eventually flop down in, with a handler watching every group from start to finish.
Getting here from Oak Ridge comes down to one road for most of the trip: NC-68 S, which runs south past Piedmont Triad International before the last turn toward us. That makes the ranch an easy stop on the way to a flight — and it means your dog stays with people who know them rather than getting handed off somewhere unfamiliar an hour before you board.
Our Overnight Care Amenities
- Private, climate-controlled sleeping quarters with room to stretch out and sleep off a busy day.
- Off-leash yard time all day long, out in our open grass fields with the group your dog was matched into.
- Medication and supplement service, available for a small added fee, with everything stored securely and given at the exact time and dose you specify.
- Your dog’s own food from home, portioned and served the way you’ve told us to, alongside fresh water in bowls cleaned and sanitized between uses.

Cats Get Their Own Corner of the Ranch
Leaving town with a cat at home to figure out? That’s handled here too.
Our feline guests live upstairs, in a second-floor space kept deliberately quiet and completely separate from anything canine. Private suites, calm light, and room to wander and climb make it a retreat rather than a holding pen — attention when your cat wants it, solitude when they don’t.

Other Services We Offer
Dog Daycare near Oak Ridge, NC
An overnight stay isn’t always what the situation calls for. When your Oak Ridge dog just needs somewhere to spend the day running instead of pacing the house, daycare delivers the same matched groups and the same open yards — they simply come home with you at pickup.
Professional Grooming near Oak Ridge, NC
Somewhere between boarding visits, most dogs need a reset. Our groomers handle everything from a straightforward bath to a full breed-standard cut or a spa-day package, working at an unhurried pace in a quiet room so the whole appointment stays low-stress.
Dog Training near Oak Ridge, NC
Some dogs need a bit of scaffolding before group play or daily life clicks into place. Private sessions and group classes both run here, and they pair naturally with boarding for pups still finding their footing around unfamiliar people, places, and playmates.
What Draws Oak Ridge Pet Parents to Bark & Fly Ranch
Oak Ridge is a town where dogs get a lot of yard. Big lots, horse fencing, quiet roads — the kind of place where a Lab grows up expecting space as the baseline. Which is exactly why a conventional kennel lands so poorly here. A week in a run is a hard downgrade for a dog whose normal is an acre. Alongside a 17-minute drive to the ranch, most of it a single run down NC-68 S past Piedmont Triad International Airport, which makes the pre-flight drop-off almost too convenient.
Weekends here run outdoors. Oak Ridge Town Park covers paved loops, shaded woodland trails, a fenced dog area, and a pond, and plenty of families extend the afternoon over to Summerfield Paw Park or a stretch of the Bicentennial Greenway. Put that alongside an 18-minute drive to the ranch, most of it a single run down Sandy Ridge Rd past Piedmont Triad International Airport, which makes the pre-flight drop-off almost too convenient — and the appeal holds up. Oak Ridge dogs board somewhere that keeps them outside and moving, because anything less would be a step down from a Tuesday at home.
How to Get Here from Oak Ridge
Plan on about 17 minutes to cover the 10.5 miles between Oak Ridge and the ranch. From Oak Ridge, turn onto NC-68 S and stay on it for roughly 8.8 miles — that single road handles nearly the whole trip. Then turn right onto Clinard Farms Rd, continue about 1.6 miles, and turn right into the driveway at 8001 Clinard Farms Rd in High Point. It’s a short enough hop that a pre-flight drop-off barely changes your morning.
