Our pups love Barks & Rec! We recently boarded them for two weeks while we were on vacation out of the country. We missed our pups, but knew they were having so much fun and were in great hands. We even got text updates with pictures everyday. Thanks to the crew at Barks & Rec for taking such great care of our pups!

Barks & Rec is a life saver! We send our two dogs every week for daycare, and use them for boarding whenever we are out of town. They really get to know the dogs personally, and cater to their unique needs. Our dogs cannot wait to run through the door, and particularly love the owners Kirk & Leigh. I never have to worry about the level of care given to my dogs, and I am so thankful to have Barks & Rec for dog care!

This place is WONDERFUL. I've been bringing my puppy to daycare and he absolutely loves it - comes home exhausted from a day of socializing and playing. They feed the snacks/meal I bring along and they provide quiet time to help them recharge. Great communication from all of the lovely staff, too. Love seeing pictures of my boy with a big smile on his face while I'm working! Clean and HUGE facility. I highly recommend it!

Barks and Rec North Loop is a blessing to my dog Daryl. The owners, staff and outdoor play environments are top notch. Daryl loves his play days with the Barks and Rec team and his doggie pals. Daryl loves to chase and catch balls which is encouraged and supported by Barks and Rec. Daryl can be exhausting in his relentless pursuit to play fetch but the Barks and Rec team embraces his love for balls. I live in the North Loop so I am grateful for a professional dog daycare provider close to home. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
