The staff at Barcs and Rec are incredible!!! always friendly, fun, and so accommodating. You can tell they truly love animals. My dog gets excited before I even pull into the driveway; he knows exactly where we’re headed! Their doggy daycare is the BEST! They put together fun pool parties and special activities for the dogs, and it’s all at an affordable price too. Love this place!! Highly recommend 🐶🐶❤️❤️

Our Experience with Barks N’ Rec ⭐⭐⭐ Our family trusted Barks N’ Rec with our dogs for years. We always paid full price, never asked for compensation, and whenever we had concerns, we spoke with management privately because we wanted to give them the opportunity to improve. Unfortunately, after multiple conversations, we decided to take our dogs elsewhere. Our concerns included: * Whiskey was not given all of the food we provided, including treats that were part of his meals. This was acknowledged by management. * We were told the facility had over 100 dogs during the holiday weekend and dogs were being rotated between play yards and kennels because they were overbooked. * Whiskey came home with a cut under his ear that was never disclosed to us. * We repeatedly asked to speak with the owner but were told the manager handled customer concerns. * After raising these concerns respectfully, we were told our expectations would be better met at another daycare. I’m not writing this out of anger. I simply believe dog daycare facilities are entrusted with members of our families, and concerns should be taken seriously. I hope Barks N’ Rec reflects on this feedback and continues improving for the dogs and families who trust them. Unfortunately, our family no longer feels comfortable leaving our dogs there. It was the manager, Valerie, who said that the reason why the dogs were in kennels and not out playing was because you overbooked your facility for the weekend. If you weren’t overbooked, which I’m sure you’re saying because you don’t want to go against regulation. Then why were the dogs in kennels and why were you rotating them if they were supposed to be out in the middle of the day?

I can’t say enough good things about Barks & Rec! I had a last-minute trip come up and was so grateful they were able to fit my dog in on short notice. It’s never easy leaving your pet unexpectedly, but they took such great care of him and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. The staff was kind, caring, and clearly loves the dogs they look after. I picked up a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust them. Everyone was professional, compassionate, and treated my dog like family. I highly recommend Barks & Rec to anyone looking for a safe, loving place to leave their pet!

The owner Debbie was so gracious and accommodating to me. I felt like my dog was in exceptionally caring hands because of her. I’ve never boarded my dog before this so I was a little nervous. And it was going to be for almost 30 days…But Debbie allayed all of my concerns. It couldn’t have gone better and I’m so thrilled to have found BarksnRec. I highly recommend it. Unlike the big chains, this is a very hands-on operation with an owner who adores dogs and has a few adopted ones of her own, like mine .

This place is a Godsend! We were going to another place for Doggie daycare and overnight stays. Debbie is an angel. She will make sure your pup is completely loved and taken care of. She is also good with dogs with special needs. We don’t know what we would do without her. I am a very picky person. My dogs are my babies. I don’t feel you’re going to find anything better as far as kennels and Doggie daycares! Debbie and her staff are the real deal. Thank you, Debbie.

We have been coming to Barks n Rec for over 5 years and love it so much, as does our dog! It's the only place we board or send our dog to daycare. Debbie is the best.

Love this place. Staff is very friendly and helpful. My 3 huskies stayed the night and Barks and rec was very accommodating by keeping all 3 together. Will definitely be using them in the future!
