Welcome to Cowen's Pet Resort
Cowen's Pet Resort is a dog and cat boarding facility that has been in operation since the 1930's. The kennel was sold to Valerie Ulrey in August 2025, making Valerie only the 4th owner in almost 100 years! We are Bakersfield's largest and oldest outdoor facility. We pride ourselves on the top-notch level of care we provide each and every animal in our kennels. Every dog and every cat is truly loved as if they are our very own. Every pet and pet parent becomes extended family here at Cowen's. If you haven't visited our facility in the past, please stop by! Look for the dog house sign on Stockdale Highway just east of Enos Lane. We would love the opportunity to give you a tour and talk about your pets!
