Welcome to Barks & Rec’s corner of comfort, community, and canine cuddles! Today we’re diving into one of the most important—and sometimes daunting—services for pet parents: pet boarding. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or juggling a busy schedule, we understand that leaving your pup behind comes with its share of nerves and questions. That’s precisely why we designed our boarding services to feel less like a kennel and more like a second home—complete with familiar routines, love, and tail-wagging joy.
From Your Home to Ours: A Seamless Transition
Leaving your pup anywhere can be stressful. We get it. That’s why we’ve built Barks & Rec’s boarding experience to center around warmth, familiarity, and consistency with:
- Six potty breaks and play sessions a day, beginning bright and early at 6:30 AM and winding down with the final outing at 10:00 PM before bedtime.
- Spacious, cozy accommodations, with clean, climate-controlled kennels and suites designed for ultimate comfort.
- Personalized care tailored to your pup’s preferences and personality—whether they’re outgoing or sweetly shy.
By following a predictable, caring routine, we help pups settle quickly and enjoy their stay—so you can relax knowing they’re in loving hands.
Play & Pals: The Social Side of Boarding
Dogs are pack creatures—social beings who thrive on company, play, and connection. At Barks & Rec, we weave socialization into every day:
- Group play with daycare friends, if your pup is a regular visitor.
- Supervised one-on-one time, if your furry friend prefers a quieter vibe.
We know playtime is fun and essential for breeds, and we help your dog stay active, mentally stimulated, and happily engaged throughout their stay.
Safety First: You Deserve Peace of Mind
Letting someone else care for your four-legged family member is a leap of faith. That’s why safety is woven into every corner of our facility:
- Our team is extensively trained in dog behavior recognition, CPR, and emergency protocols.
- We practice strict screening and vaccination checks, and dogs are grouped by temperament and size.
- Our clean, indoor, climate-controlled facility protects pups from harsh weather while maintaining top hygiene standards.
Because nothing matters more than keeping your pup happy, healthy, and safe during their stay.
Add-Ons That Make Tails Wag
We love treating our boarders like VIPs—and sometimes that means extras that make their time away extra special:
- KONG Happy Hour, a mini session of fun-filled enrichment with a favorite treat toy.
- Lick‑a‑Lot add-on, for pups who simply can’t take a break from their tasty spreads.
- Ice Cream Social, perfect for sunny days and sunny smiles.
- Seek & Treat, turning playtime into a delightful search-and-snack adventure.
These playful add-ons sprinkle joy throughout their stay and feel like little celebrations of “just because.”
Still Wondering If Pet Boarding Is Right for You?
If the thought of leaving your pup behind gives you pause, that’s completely normal. At Barks & Rec, we make the experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your dog. Our familiar daily schedule includes six potty and play sessions to reinforce routine and comfort, while positive socialization helps your pup form friendships and burn off energy for a happier mood. With clean facilities and trained staff, you can have peace of mind knowing safety and trust are our priorities. Boarding here isn’t a break in your dog’s life—it’s a mini-vacation filled with care, enrichment, and canine camaraderie.
