What Reviews Say

40 reviews analyzed

Barks & Rec Boarding is overwhelmingly beloved by customers, with 95% of reviews giving 5 stars. Long-term loyalty is a defining characteristic—many customers have been using the facility for years and describe it as an extended family. The staff (particularly Angela and Sarah) receives consistent praise for genuine love and care, with dogs visibly excited to visit. Two negative reviews cite crate time concerns and a prescription food mix-up, but the owner responded professionally to both. The main differentiators are the personal touch, photo updates during stays, and patience with anxious or senior dogs.
