Conveniently located in Belchertown, we offer a welcoming, home-away-from-home where every dog receives personalized attention and engaging experiences.

Whether your pup is visiting for grooming, daytime enrichment at our doggie daycare, spending an overnight, or staying with us for an extended retreat, they’ll be cared for with warmth, attentiveness, and genuine affection from the moment they arrive. As a family-run farm, we take pride in offering a boutique, highly personalized experience for your four-legged family members.

WHAT SETS US APART
We care for your dog the way you do.

From the moment you arrive at Long Creek Farm, you’ll notice something a little different.

Simply put: we love dogs and cats, deeply.

That passion shows in every interaction, every detail, and every thoughtful choice we make to ensure your dog or cat feels safe, happy, and truly cared for.

When you entrust your companion to us, you can feel confident knowing that:

  • We know every pet by name, and take the time to truly understand their needs and unique personality

  • Our services are thoughtfully tailored around your dog or cat’s disposition

  • Every aspect of their visit is approached from a “pet-first” perspective

  • Safety, comfort, and joyful experiences are always our top priorities

What this means in practice is simple: every element of Long Creek Farm has been intentionally designed with your pet’s comfort and preferences in mind. While we also provide signature grooming services to cats, all of our services have been specifically optimized for dogs and every detail has been thoughtfully considered. From our expansive outdoor spaces surrounded by winding trails laced with enriching scents, to our calm, quiet grooming salon (with a separate drying room to reduce stress) to an inviting climate controlled ‘dog lodge’ featuring cozy furnishings, your pup is sure to feel right at home during their visit.

In short, we’ve created an environment where dogs can truly relax, explore, and enjoy their time, so they leave happy, comfortable, and eager to return.

THE PROPRIETORS

Tucked away amidst the quiet beauty of Belchertown, Barking Bubbles at Long Creek Farm is more than a grooming salon or boarding retreat, it’s a place where dogs and cats are known, cared for, and genuinely loved.

Led by Sue and Greg Long, and our son Beckett, we’re a family-run business shaped by a clear and intentional vision. For years, we brought our own dogs here, drawn to the natural setting and sense of spaciousness.

When we became the stewards of the farm, we knew it could become something more—something calmer, more refined, and more in tune with how dogs truly experience their environment. Today, we’ve created a family-based approach to care that feels unhurried, considered, and deeply personal. Our farm seamlessly blends fresh air, down home comfort, and individualized care for dogs and cats, nestled in a sprawling natural setting right here in the Pioneer Valley.

(and did we mention, our dogs are exceptionally pampered?)

Barking Bubbles has long been the trusted resource for dog owners seeking something uniquely different. We are thrilled to continue the legacy of this beloved place and have lovingly updated Long Creek Farm to ensure that both dogs and their owners are able to continue enjoying all that Barking Bubbles has to offer.
