Where Coastal Comfort Meets Top‑Tier Pet Care
Big Rock Bark! is Carteret County’s home for happy dogs, relaxed owners, and reliable care you can count on. Formerly known as Beach Paws and Beaufort Bark, our team has grown and our brand has evolved — but our heart hasn’t changed. We’re still a dedicated crew who treats every dog like family.
We built Big Rock Bark! to be the place you would want to stay if you were a dog: clean spaces, attentive staff, plenty of playtime, and a calm, friendly atmosphere that puts pets at ease. Our Beaufort location offers a small, welcoming staff with large, luxurious boarding spaces almost as large as a bedroom in your own home. The Morehead City location offers a large number of clean and secure private kennel spaces along with a modernized facility complete with large outdoor spaces and a splash pad where your dog can cool their paws on those hot summer days. Whether your pup is here to Stay, Play, or Groom, they’re welcomed with patience, structure, and genuine affection.
Our mission is simple: Give dogs a safe, joyful experience — and give every owner total peace of mind. We’re obsessed with creating an experience that feels good for dogs and effortless for owners. From our friendly staff to our thoughtful routines, everything we do is designed to make tails wag and humans relax.
Big Rock Bark! is proud to serve the Crystal Coast community with dependable care, transparent communication, and a team that shows up every day because we truly love what we do.
