Let’s Talk Pet Boarding: Dog Daycare Near You
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—pet services for pet parents: pet boarding. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or juggling a busy schedule, we understand that leaving your furry friend behind comes with its share of nerves and questions. That’s precisely why we designed our boarding services to feel less like traditional kennels and more like a second home—complete with familiar routines, plenty of love, spacious accommodations, and tail-wagging joy.
From Your Home to Ours: A Seamless Transition
Leaving your furry family member anywhere can be stressful. We get it. That’s why we’ve built Barks & Rec’s pet boarding facility 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 accommodations in a clean facility, with climate-controlled kennels and suites designed for ultimate comfort.
-
Personalized care tailored to your pup’s unique needs, whether they’re outgoing or sweetly shy.
-
Spacious play areas for safe and happy exploration.
-
A fun environment that helps pups settle in quickly.
By following a predictable, caring routine, we help pups relax and enjoy their stay—so you can rest easy knowing they’re in good hands, receiving great care, and that the health of your pet is our top priority. We even offer additional services to make their stay an extra great experience.

Play & Pals: The Social Side of Boarding
Dogs are pack creatures—social beings who thrive on company, play, and social interaction. At Barks & Rec, we weave connection into every day:
-
Group play with doggy day care friends, if your pup is a regular visitor.
-
Supervised one-on-one time for pups who prefer a quieter vibe.
-
Activities designed to keep happy dogs active and mentally stimulated.
Whether your dog loves new friends or prefers individual attention, our caring staff members make sure every dog has a great time. Regular pet guests stay active, engaged, and surrounded by animal lovers who provide great care in a loving environment. And if it’s your pup’s first time, we offer gentle reassurance and structure to help them settle in comfortably.
Safety First: You Deserve Peace of Mind
Letting someone else care for your four-legged member of the family is a leap of faith. That’s why safety is woven into every corner of our safe environment:
-
Our caring staff members are trained in dog behavior, CPR, and emergency protocols.
-
We practice strict screening and vaccination checks, and dogs are grouped by temperament and size.
-
Our clean facility is climate-controlled, protecting the health of your pet and ensuring comfort throughout their stay.
Nothing matters more to us than the happiness of your pets, their well-being, and your peace of mind during overnight stays. This isn’t just a service—it’s a great experience built by true pet lovers.

Add-Ons That Make Tails Wag
We love treating our pet guests 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 love their snacks.
-
Ice Cream Social, perfect for sunny smiles.
-
Seek & Treat, turning playtime into a joyful search-and-snack adventure.
-
Grooming services for that fresh, clean feeling before heading home.
These extra touches, combined with spacious accommodations and fun environment, make every stay special.
