About Barks & Recreation

Come Play With Us

Barks & Recreation is the premier dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility serving all of Northeast Ohio. Our mission is to provide a safe and fun experience for your pups — and an easy, hassle-free experience for you. We know you wouldn’t trust your pup with just “anyone” and our team continually strives to be the perfect place for your furry kids when you can’t be with them.

Our philosophy is to not only encourage the physical stimulation that your dog craves, but also the mental stimulation that they can only get by observing and interacting with other dogs. We all know that dogs love their humans. But we sometimes forget that dogs are pack animals and wanting/needing to be part of a pack is a deeply instinctual for them. When socialized properly, dogs enjoy having time with “their own”. Studies show that dogs that are allowed to participate in their natural pack environment become more social around dogs and people, stay more physically fit, and learn positive behavior. It also helps calm destructive tendencies, relieve boredom and anxiety, and can make for a more confident, calmer dog for you to enjoy!

At Barks & Recreation, everything we do is geared to being far more than just a place to leave your pups when you can’t be with them. Our Coaches are dog fanatics who will love, play, and interact with your pup as if it was their own and have completed training in dog behaviors, socialization, and Dog CPR. Our one-of-a-kind, 13,000 sq. ft. facility gives your pups the freedom to choose where they want to play (outside or inside), when they want to play, and with which of their furry friends they want to play at any given time. And we also believe that daycare, boarding, or grooming for your pup should not be a hassle for you. So we do everything we can to make the entire experience as easy as possible for you. We have no specific drop-off or pick-up times — you can drop off or pick up your dog whenever it’s most convenient for you. We also don’t charge extra for special request that help your pup feel at home — so please feel free to talk to us about special feeding instructions, medications, and other special needs. And if you have more than one pup, each additional dog you bring is 50% off the daily rate.

So whether it’s because you’re going out of town, or because your weeks are packed with 10 hours work days, or because your pups need a place to expend some energy or get some exercise (especially during our long Ohio winters), or because you just want to socialize your dog so they learn certain pack behaviors from other dogs, or because you want to keep your pup looking and smelling great in an environment where they already feel safe and comfortable… whatever your reason for wanting your pups to have the best possible doggie daycare, boarding, and grooming experience, Barks & Recreation is here for you (and your pups).
