    We used the mobile grooming service at Barks and Recreation for the first time and couldn't be happier. Our golden retriever, Weasley, needed a summer cut. Amy was great with him. He was a little apprehensive about getting in the van, but she won him over. We'll definitely use this service again!

    We LOVE Jessie! She is always so great with my little pup Tank. She makes him look perfect each time we have him groomed!

    Shawna did a great job on my Maltese. Everybody was very nice. I very much would recommend Barks and Recreation for grooming.

    We first went to Barks & Rec to board our dog Toby when we went out of town for a couple days!

    We've used Bark Life for boarding our pets multiple times this year, and we- and our cats and dog-…read morehave always had a good experience. The pet accommodations are comfy and give them plenty of space. I appreciate that I can be that person and look at my dog on a webcam and see how he's doing. They staff are kind to the animals and responsive to requests; once our dog was in a "penthouse" which comes equipped with a human bed, but he is under the impression that Good Boys do not go on human beds, so when I saw him on the floor they sweetly brought him a dog bed, too. Our cats are happier after boarding than they were in the past after being left home alone during travels. They also have daycare services on weekdays, which is handy for long work days or just for socialization. I appreciate that they do a temperament test to make sure your pet will have fun and be safe with others. We have never needed to use most of the grooming services, but when our dog's had a bath there they seemed to do a good job. They also have a decent selection of good quality pet food, toys, etc. We'll continue to be loyal customers.

    In the beginning, when owners were hands on, this was a great place. But when you go to a store to…read morepurchase dog food, and inquire the guy at the front, (with obnoxious ear lobes), about the popularity, and then ingredients. No kidding, he looked the bag and read them off! I looked at guy, and said "I guess not" and walked out. Definitely has gone done hill in a hurry, maybe spread too thin, and hire probably uneducated individuals in vet med, anybody that walks in off the street. It isn't near the same, after two test times since they branched out, both negative.

I'm sorry for the people who have not, but I can wholeheartedly say that my dog recognizes when we are near Ace and runs off when we enter the place. He loves it. We have no qualms about using Advantage nor recommending them for boarding!

    if I could give zero stars, I absolutely would. My dog, Kash, has been attending Advantage Pet Care…read moreCenter since February 2025, and what started as a trusting relationship turned into a complete nightmare. Kash has been bitten twice by another dog while in their care. The second incident was so severe that he required surgery and has a difficult recovery. After the second attack, I read more reviews -- and to my horror, I discovered that another dog was recently paralyzed while under their care. That's when I knew I had to pull Kash out immediately. This facility is dangerously mismanaged. They allow medium and large dogs to play with small dogs (see photo proof), and it's clear they have far too many dogs and not nearly enough staff to supervise safely. Several employees even admitted that a particular dog should have been re-evaluated for aggression, yet that dog continues to attend daycare while other, well-behaved dogs are kept on rotation to accommodate it. That speaks volumes about their priorities and management. To make matters worse, some of the "positive" reviews I've seen online are encouraged or written by employees, which is extremely misleading for dog parents trying to make a safe choice. I'm heartbroken that Kash went through this, and I wouldn't wish it on any other dog. Please, do your research before bringing your pet here, look at reviews on all platforms. This place needs to be investigated and shut down before another innocent dog gets seriously hurt -- or worse
