What Reviews Say

80 reviews analyzed

Barks and Recreation is an exceptional dog boarding and daycare facility with an overwhelmingly positive 4.9/5 average rating across 80 reviews. The standout features are the caring staff (especially owners Catie and Mary), 24/7 overnight staffing, small play groups for individualized attention, and the obvious love the team has for dogs. Nearly all reviewers mention their dogs are excited to visit and return home happy and tired. The single 2-star review appears to be an outlier regarding a trial day experience. This facility sets the standard for dog care in Memphis.
