Prescott Valley is welcoming a new destination for dog care: PV Bark will celebrate its grand opening on January 28th, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM at 6689 E 1st St., Prescott Valley, AZ 86314. The facility is designed to provide local pet owners with reliable, high-quality care for their dogs in a thoughtfully planned environment.
A Personal Vision Becomes a Community Resource
Founders Mike Gust and Elaine O’Connor relocated from Houston, Texas, in 2020, seeking a change of pace and lifestyle. When a home renovation left them scrambling to find temporary care for their dogs, they discovered a shortage of dependable local services. That challenge inspired the creation of PV Bark, a premium dog care facility offering boarding, daycare, and grooming services for the Prescott area.
Luxury Boarding Suites
The facility includes 41 private suites with tempered-glass fronts, assigned to each dog for their stay. Most suites measure 4’ x 8’, while larger VIP Suites (5’ x 10’) and a Presidential Suite (5’ x 16’) offer bedroom-style accommodations with TVs and webcam access. Each suite is furnished with elevated orthopedic Kuranda beds for optimal comfort. PV Bark spans 11,560 square feet indoors and also features a 5,900-square-foot outdoor area for exercise and play.
Enrichment-Based Daycare
PV Bark’s daycare program focuses on mental, emotional, and physical engagement. Dogs participate in small-group play, individual activities, low-energy socialization, and enrichment exercises, combined with structured rest periods to keep them stimulated and happy throughout the day.
Low-Fragrance Grooming
The grooming area offers a spa-like experience that refreshes pets without overwhelming their sensitive noses. Services focus on maintaining cleanliness and comfort in a calming environment.
Expert Care Team
PV Bark’s staff is highly trained and dedicated to providing exceptional care for every dog. The team maintains rigorous standards, continually updating their skills and knowledge to ensure pets receive safe, compassionate, and attentive care in every aspect of their stay, from daycare activities to boarding and grooming services.
Community Commitment
Elaine and Mike have actively engaged with the Prescott Valley pet community. Elaine has volunteered with United Animal Friends and the Yavapai Humane Society, and PV Bark has built relationships with area veterinarians. The business is a member of the Prescott Valley Chamber of Commerce, the Prescott Chamber of Commerce, and the International Boarding & Pet Services Association (IBPSA).
