I cannot say enough, good things about Barks and Rec. My dog loves going there and always gets so excited. They take tons of pictures of him throughout the day and then send a little report card at the end of the day. They are thoughtful and caring and provide a great environment for your fur babies.
Barks is the best! The staff is always so friendly and my dog is so excited to go back each time! The best part are the report cards I get after each day with the cutest pictures (included) so I know she had a blast. I’d recommend Barks and Rec to everyone I know!
My (generally anxious) pit bull mix LOVES his daycare days! The whole team is thoughtful and kind, and I’ve always felt safe leaving my baby in their hands. We’ve also had great experiences with the groomers! If you’re considering a daycare, boarding or grooming service then Barks and Rec is for you.
Can’t say enough good things about Barks and Rec! We have been bringing our dog Charlie here for a few years now for both daycare and boarding. They have been incredibly accommodating with medication administration and catering to our dog’s needs as they arise. Prices are great and the staff is always very welcoming!
Our pup has been going to day care at Barks and Rec for about a year now and we can’t express our love and gratitude enough! We were nervous about leaving her all day with other dogs at first but the staff helped ease the nerves with their communication, professionalism, and care for our baby. The staff is great at communicating any concerns or issues and puts a plan in place immediately to avoid any future problems. We can tell how much our pup loves going to daycare and we know she is well cared for!
