We highly recommend Barks and Rec for doggy daycare and boarding. We have a 2-1/2 year old with no issues and high energy and a 12-1/2 year old who requires meds and can’t spend too much time in daycare, unless he is lounging, otherwise he can barely stand-up/walk. We know that someone is monitoring his time because when we pick him up he can walk just fine! They also have no issues with giving him his meds. This place is great for both of our fur babies. We trust Barks and Rec for daycare and boarding!

Steph is the best groomer I’ve ever had and she is so nice and helpful. She cut my dogs hair exactly as I requested.The people in the Day Care have always taken great care of my pets past and present. They always follow up with how my baby’s day went while she was there with notes. Very clean and professional and I highly recommend this business.

Our husky LOVES Barks & Recreation! He always comes home tired and happy. We use the facility for daycare and boarding. I really like that we can view him during the day via the live feed app. It is always fun to see what kind of antics he is up to. We would definitely reccomend Barks & Recreation to any dog owner who has a playful and energetic pup!

Barks and Rec has been so amazing! Our dog, Hildy, has been there several times now. She just spent five more days there. When we picked her up, she immediately fell fast asleep on the car ride home! She always has a good time with her friends there and definitely gets plenty of exercise. Thank you for another good experience for our dog!

This place is the best. My dog Penny loves it here!I've boarded Penny here a few times so far and have never had a bad experience. The staff is always friendly and knows Penny pretty well already which is very comforting for me when I drop her off.The dogs get to play together all day here! And you can watch them on video all day too!

My dog absolutely loves Barks and Rec! Every time I ask her if she wants to go to doggy day care, she gets so excited! I love having a boarding place that not only my dog loves, but is convenient and has quality care. The staff at Barks and Rec always address my dog by her name and are so friendly. I highly recommend them for your furry friends!

We board our 1 year old jack Russell mix and also do drop in day care at Bark and Rec…for a family with an active dog and a busy schedule, this is the best! She LOVES going and comes home happy and worn out from all of her fun :)

My pup’s favorite words are: walk, treat, car ride and DAYCARE!!! He can’t wait to go! I work from home with him most of the time but spend a few days a month at the office so those are his daycare days. When I pick him up he is happily exhausted after a day of fun and play.The staff is incredible. They know the dogs by name and are the friendliest crew to humans as well as pups. You’ll love it here!Oh- I’ve boarded him here while on vacation, too. I think he had more fun than I did!

Barks and Rec is such a great place for our pup. They are always watching the dogs, they give them breaks if they need them, and they are always so accommodating. Highly recommend. I also LOVE the fact that I can watch my pup all day on the app they provide! I don’t trust many people with my pets, this place is 10/10!

Our dog, Kody, loves coming to daycare. Even better, I can get his grooming done on a day he is already scheduled to be there. All of the workers are super nice.

I LOVE this place! More importantly my five month old puppy, Dakota, loves it much more! Every morning when getting ready for work he patiently waits by the front door ready to go! He jumps in my truck eagerly ready for a full day of play! I always give them a bag of food for his lunch and always get the empty bag back. He comes home exhausted, can’t even keep his head up while driving home. On the way there his head is out the window ready to go! They take such great care of him and they are always so great and sweet! Highly recommend this place!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ they have camera everywhere so you can access your furbabies all day and see what they’re up to!

Awesome place to bring your dog for daycare or boarding even grooming. My dog is a 1 and half year old American pitbull terrier (Hudi) and absolutely loves this place and spending time with the other dogs and staff. He's skittish of new people but has taken to the staff there which really speaks to how well the staff do their job. The price is reasonable for daycare and the grooming is amazing. I can't recommend this place enough. I'm very happy I picked this place to send my dog.

My two dogs, Hilo and Kona, just had a 9 night stay at Barks and Rec. We've taken our dogs there for years and they always come back tired for a couple days (lots of playing with friends!). Our puppy's first time boarding and even he is tuckered out! Thank you Barks and Rec for taking care of our beloved pups!

I absolutely love Barks and Recreation. The staff is absolutely wonderful and has always gone out of their way to accommodate the needs of my little boy Finnigan. They treat each dog as though lt is their own. The spa treatments are fantastic and very reasonably priced. I have never hesitated in the least leaving my dog with them. I give each and everyone there five stars and more if it was offered. I fully recommend them and the services they offer. Just awesome. Tim

Maggie looks forward to her visit every time! she gets so excited I believe it’s because the staff treat her so well. Not to mention, she gets to play with her dog friends! Recently, I signed Maggie up for grooming.and they did a fantastic job ! I would highly recommend sending your dog to barks and recreation!

I love how Stephany groom Ace. She knows just how I like him. If I need to change up she's always willing to give advice and groom him accordingly to the way that I ask. She is someone that I can count on, and she will get back to you if you have any questions promptly. She's a gem ❤️💯😊🙏🏾.

I bring my dog here 3-5 days a week while I work. He’s a year and a half old, so he still has tons of energy. He’s so excited to leave for daycare in the mornings that he begs by the front door. By the time I pick him up, he’s exhausted and got lots of exercise. All the staff know him by name and I don’t even have to ask when I arrive to pick him up.Can’t recommend this place enough!

Barks & Recreation took good care of my dog while she was there. I could watch her play on the cameras which gave me peace of mind. The staff is very friendly.

We love barks and rec! Our dogs “the vegetables” are always well cared for on their overnight visits. And after grooming, they look so handsome!

Stephanie is always great with my German Shepherd. He is 110lbs . She s not afraid and he listens to her unlike most other groomers. And he looks so nice when she’s finished with him

Our two dogs spent a week at Barks & Recreation. We had them groomed the day we picked them up. They came home healthy, happy, clean, and tired.

Have always had a great experience with the staff. Easy to make a reservation and always has space for our dog. Has a nice space outdoors for dogs. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for either daycare or boarding services.
