Barks and Recreation

We have been using Bark's since 2016. Catie, Mary and their team are wonderfully caring people that always make you feel safe leaving your furry family members with them. My big dog gets so excited when he is going for a playdate at Barks he can hardly stand it, he explodes with excitement!

I have never written an online review for a business- but I had to change that in order to give Barks and Recreation 5 stars. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog Bear with them. They are lovely, accommodating people. We have boarded, groomed and done daycare with them several times and it has been a completely wonderful experience each time. They go above and beyond, listen to any concerns or questions you have about your dog, and have met every single request I’ve made of them- whether it is specialty food, applying eye drops, etc. I have never once felt dismissed or ignored or that the people there are fed up with animals- and that’s unusual amongst boarding facilities in my experience. I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to have peace of mind that the people caring for your animal love your dog as much as you do. To give an example- once my dog was not feeling up to eating and someone sat with him and hand fed him his food. That’s the kind of people at this establishment. They take initiative to care for your animal. Absolutely wonderful staff and we will continue to go to Barks for all our boarding, daycare and grooming in the future.

They do an incredible job with our puppy, and we know that because our dog now zooms out of the car and runs straight inside when we get there ever since our first boarding. Couldn't care less that we're about to leave. We've left him there for a few nights as well as up to 10 nights at a time. Whenever we called, they were always available to chat and seemed excited to let us know how he is doing (despite how annoying that probably is for them). If they were unavailable at the moment, they called back quickly. I highly recommend Barks and Recreation.

The team at Barks and Rec are extremely kind and attentive to their customers. We have used their grooming, boarding and daycare services and all have been super! The owners, Catie and Mary, are always present and make it a point to keep us informed on how our dog’s visit has gone. They also make sure that we are up to date on his vaccinations and go above and beyond to make sure all their visitors are healthy. FYI: - someone stays at the facility overnight to assist the animals being boarded - they have a max number of dogs they allow in daycare each day, so reservations are suggested and sometimes required

Barks and Recreation was a great experience! I was a little nervous dropping my dog off since this was her first time at a doggie daycare. The staff assured me that Indie would be comfortable since their daycare has smaller play groups. When I came to pick her back up the staff said she fit right in and made some new friends! Thanks Barks and Rec for making our first daycare a fun and comfortable experience!
