WhatLakevilleownerssay
Barks and Rec is the perfect place for your pup if you are in need of a kennel! We reached out a few days before we needed to kennel our dogs and they were more than happy to look and see if they had space. The drop off process was super easy. While we were gone they sent pictures of our dogs and the activities they were doing. When we picked our dogs up they were happy to see us and were tired from all their fun! I would recommend barks and rec to anyone!
We are so grateful for the great care and fun all 3 of our pups have at Barcs and Rec! The pics and updates they send are great as well. Highly recommended!!!
I have used Barks and Rec lakeville for a long time and I highly recommend them! Nice people and fair pricing, and my dog loves it too !
Barks and Rec is the best! They're so flexible and respond right away whenever I have a new booking or question. My pup always has a wonderful time whether she's doing doggy daycare or boarding for several days, and I love getting frequent updates with pictures to see how much she's enjoying her stay!
