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.

I discovered Barks and Rec while searching for a new groomer as my guy kept coming home sick from his appt. (ex., diarrhea, stomach bug, etc.) I cannot say enough good things about the staff/services of Barks and Rec. Dot is phenomenal with our guy! When I couldn’t figure out how to book online, they reached out timely via email and helped me out. Tried daycare for the first time today and I liked that they checked out his temperament first. Also they want shot records - other place was a “honor system” situation. Should’ve known from that I was at the wrong joint 😉 Highly recommend!!!

Just picked my bernadoodle up from a grooming session with Dot! She looks wonderful! Dot was amazing with her and so kind and sweet. We will definitely schedule with Dot again. Thank you!!!
