FirstBarkHoly cow, barks and rec are the real deal. Nobody treats animals like these guys do. Jen and her staff are so knowledgeable and caring. I won’t go anywhere else. Their facility is so clean which was really important to us. Not to mention they were very accommodating. Save yourself the time and look no further. Hats off!

The only place I will leave my dog when we are gone. Clean, staff is all amazing and love the updates and report cards you get on your dog while you are away. Hands down, best place around

Our dog, Poppy, loves Barks and Rec, and so do we! Poppy is always excited to spend a day at daycare or go for boarding when we leave town. Everyone at Barks and Rec is so great with her, attentive and help her to be her best self. Poppy’s confidence increased after we took the Good Dog for Life class and did e-collar training. Jen is always open to our questions and has great suggestions. I cannot suggest Barks and Rec enough to fellow dog parents!
Thank you so much.
