DO NOT take your pets to Barks and Recreation! Our dogs experienced multiple illnesses and injuries while in the care of Barks and Recreation, resulting in over $1,000 in veterinary bills. What upset us even more was how the situation was handled. Instead of taking responsibility, the owners later claimed we dropped our dog off injured—even though they had posted him on their Facebook page the day before, happily playing on their elevated play equipment with no visible injury. This wasn’t an isolated incident. During a daycare visit, one of our dogs fell and came home favoring a leg. Thankfully, she recovered without needing veterinary care.

My girl is terrified of strangers.. she loves the workers here so much. We are so thankful for them! She gets so excited when you ask if she wants to go to doggy daycare. She has made so many friends. Everyone is so nice and friendly. It is so nice to be able to see the updated pictures on Facebook each day. We love barks and rec!

Best place in town that we have been! The owners/trainers really know what they’re doing and the staff is equally as wonderful. We have now used their training, boarding and grooming services with no complaint. I think our pups look forward to our out of town trips so that they can come here!

Both of my dogs love the environment and playing with their friends. I appreciate the staff spending time trying to earn the trust of my anxious girl. I’m excited to have a place that cares about the dogs who are there and want to know them.
