Barks and Recreation prides itself on giving you reliable, consistent, and trustworthy pet care. Whether you’re looking for daily walks or traveling out of town, Barks & Rec is here to help!
Our walks range from 30mins to 1hr long. Depending on the temperament of your pup, we offer one-on-one walks, or mindfully pair your pup up with their new best friend(s). We provide potty breaks along with structure, leash training, positive reinforcement, and socialization.
Our pack hikes help pooches get out of the house and practice independence, exposure, socialization, and impulse control. Never off leash, your dogs will have a chance to exercise their body and mind during the 1-3 hours they’re exploring. We consider weather and other conditions before choosing a location for the scheduled day. Pick up and drop off is included, along with picture updates, lots of water breaks, and a happy, tired pup!
We offer basic training using positive reinforcement techniques on how to master the 7 Basic Commands such as; Sit, Stay, Down, Come, Off, No, and Heel. We also specialize in socialization training and impulse control for anxious or unpredictable pups. Keep in mind that while we train your pup, we also train you as the owner for optimal results!
We know that traveling comes with its own set of stresses. With our overnight visits, your pets will receive the same level of care you give your pets and your home. We water plants upon request, bring the mail in, take trash out, and send updates with pictures throughout our stay. Midday potty breaks/visits are also included so your pets get that extra TLC! We typically stay for a 12 hour duration throughout the night, however we do our best to accommodate special requests.
We prefer to meet all our clients face to face prior to any scheduled service. Meeting your dog and making sure we can form an initial bond is an important part of our model.
Communication is important too, to ensure we get all the info we need. Walkers are masked upon arrival.
We’ll be sure to check in with you consistently, keeping you up to date on all your pet’s latest antics. Through detailed updates, you’ll stay informed on all aspects of your pet’s wellbeing, with plenty of pictures too!
