I really love and appreciate the multiple astroturf areas that are both inside and outside (helps greatly with our dog's contact dermatitis to grass, as well as a little extra cushioning for her arthritis). Prices are very fair and there is also a groomer onsite too. If you're looking for a boarding or daycare facility for your family pet member(s), I definitely recommend Barks and Recreation.

I visited a week before and really liked what I saw, met the staff and was told about the schedule. I booked the Presidential suite where all four could stay together, sleep together and play together as they do at home. I called daily to check up on and was given updates, even improvements on my skittish girl. I felt very at ease leaving them and enjoyed my vacation. What a wonderful staff who cares and enjoyed having my dogs stay. I will be returning.

My girlfriend's Laberdoodle on the other hand is a lot more work. Mayra is known as the best Doodle groomer around and for a good reason. My girlfriend has taken her Laberdoodle to 8 or 10 different groomers and we have always been disappointed with the results. Mayra has a special touch especially when it comes to Doodles. Every time she takes her Laberdoodle there the dog comes home looking better than the last time. She groomes her Laberdoodle the way that breed is supposed to look. She is amazing. Our dogs love to go for a ride in the truck. Every time the see that they are going to the Barking Lot they get super excited. Mayra and the whole staff treat our dogs like they are their's. When we go to pick them up they don't want to leave. That shows us how much the love and care for our fur babies. Whenever we go on a vacation, we always board our babies there. They take such excellent care of our girls. They have made new friends and old each time. They have so much fun playing with the other dogs that we think they would rather live there sometimes. If you are looking for an excellent place to groom and board your babies this is the place. We have been coming here for over 4 years now and we will never go anywhere else. I just want to thank Mayra and her staff for taking such amazing care of our girls.
