At Barks & Recreations, we believe that every pet deserves exceptional care, attention, and a place where they feel comfortable and understood. Our mission is to provide a haven where pets not only receive expert services but also build confidence, trust, and joy in a stress-free, loving environment.

We know that pets are cherished members of the family, and their well-being directly impacts their owners' peace of mind. That’s why our Dog Spa, Daycare, and Training Center are designed to offer personalized experiences that cater to each pet’s unique needs.

Love the grooming service! My dog gets to socialize with other pups and comes back looking great!

Barks and Recreation love what they do and it shows! Mary Pat and her staff are a one stop show for all your pet grooming and training needs. If you’re looking for a shop to care for your four-legged fur babies, look no further!

My fur babies struggled with many other groomers before we found Bark’s! My girls have a great experience everytime they are there. They do not have to be caged, and are treated like family. The grooming is better than any place I’ve been, and is customized to my pups and their needs every time. Maybe that sounds obvious and how it should be, but in my experience it is not. We are so glad to have found this gem!

We love bringing our fur baby here ❤️ They take such great care of your pets and they always have such a good attitude! We literally never take our dog Snickers anywhere else because B&R do the best job. I also love how active they are on facebook! They always share good information, events, and even pictures which we always look forward to seeing 😁 10/10 recommend
