About Us
At Barks and Rec, our main focus is the mental and physical well being of the dogs in our care. We strive to provide the best services available through a strong work ethic and building relationships with the people and dogs we are privileged to serve! We understand that your main concern is the safety and well-being of your pup. Our staff gets to know each pet individually to provide the best care for every unique guest. We’re not dog walkers, we are dog professionals!
