About
Seattle Barks and Recreation provides dog park excursions, dog walking, dog/cat/pet sitting visits, and in-our-home boarding services. About our services: * Dog Park Excursions If socialization and exercise are what your dog needs, our off-leash dog park excursions are the answer! Seattle Barks and Recreation strives to keep both you and your pet as happy and comfortable as possible while you're away from the home, providing you with peace of mind. We provide 1.5 to 2 hours of fetch, swimming and tail chasing and return home happy, tired, clean and towel dried. Dog parks excursions are ideal for dogs that act out when left alone for long periods of time, whether from boredom or separation anxiety. An hour-and-a-half-plus-long romp in a dog park with fellow canines provides just the right amount of exercise, companionship and mental stimulation to keep your dog healthy and happy. Excursions to a dog park also help teach your pet manners around other dogs and their owners by improving their socialization skills. Just like people, our dogs enjoy being around their friends, too! Allowing them time and space to socialize with other like-minded animals will go a long way toward improving your dog's health, happiness and behavior. The highlight of your day will most definitely be the detailed personal email we will send to you after your pet's daily adventure. We'll provide a daily report card with pictures of every dog park excursion showcasing your pet's adventure with his friends. We keep in close contact about your dog's health and behavior, and we're always fine tuning his social skills for you with positive reinforcement training. Seattle Barks and Recreation includes our exclusive clean paws guarantee. We understand that with all the rain and dirt that your dog will come across while out on their adventures, you do not want that in your home. Before your dog returns to your home, we clean their paws, legs, underbelly, and wipe their coat off. We are one of the only places that provide this to our clients, and it is free. * Dog Walking At Seattle Barks and Recreation, our goal is to establish a consistent, long-lasting and healthy relationship with your dog.

We provide an environment of mental and physical simulation so they are exercised, happy and relaxed. The highlight of your day will most definitely be the detailed personal email we will send to you after your pet's daily adventure. We'll provide a daily report card with pictures of every dog walk showcasing your dog's adventure, so that you're always aware of how your dog is doing while you're away, and don't have to miss out on all the fun experiences. We keep in close contact about your dog's health and behavior, and we're always fine tuning his social skills for you. We develop a personal relationship with your pet.

Ryan is very passionate about working with the dogs in his pack, and we are confident that our dog will be safe and happy while in his care. We're looking forward to seeing all of the photos from his daily adventures!

Ryan has been walking our Dog Maggie and the experience has been fantastic. Maggie looks forward to his coming and then he follows up with pictures and a report of how she is doing. Maggie is recovering from an operation and Ryan tailored her workout to accommodate her fitness level and tender spots. We highly recommend him!

Ryan has been taking our dog Eli on park adventures since the beginning of this year. Eli always comes home happy and tired! He's usually gone for between 3-6 hours. It makes me feel good to know that Eli is getting so much play time while we're at work. Ryan responds quickly if I need to check in about something (e.g. Eli had a little bump on him that got infected and he was able to tell us when he noticed it etc) or cancel. Overall, it's been awesome having Ryan!

Ryan goes above and beyond when it comes to dog walking. Our dog looked forward to Ryan's visit every day. How do I know? One afternoon my husband was home sick and he kept seeing our 9-year old shepherd sitting in the middle of the living room staring at the door eager for Ryan to take her to the park. When she returned she was relaxed, happy and all smiles. She bonded with him and the other dogs he walked. I strongly recommend Ryan as a dog walker.

Ryan is fantastic! He took our (very old) chocolate lab for almost a week, while we went on vacation. The fact that she needed special care not only didn't phase him, but when he brought her back, he had solved the issue of her scratching, which had plagued us for years! We highly recommend Ryan, and would absolutely use him again in a heart beat.
