Welcome to Bend Barks & Rec: Your Dog’s New Running Buddy

It’s always a good day for a walk in Central Oregon — but some days, life (or the weather) makes that tricky. Meet Bend Barks & Rec, a locally owned dog-care service built for Bend’s busy, outdoorsy community. Our goal is simple: keep pups active, happy, and Run Ready!

We bring the workout to you. Our climate-controlled van parks at your home or workplace, and your dog enjoys a safe, positive run on our custom slatmills inside. No icy sidewalks, no hot pavement — just consistent, reliable exercise tailored to your dog’s pace and personality in a clean, supervised environment.

We’re proud to be part of Bend’s community, and giving back matters to us. We donate runs to local cancer patients in active treatment through the cancer center so pets still get healthy, joyful movement even during tough times.

At Bend Barks & Rec we believe: a tired dog is a happy dog. Whether your schedule gets shuffled, the weather turns, or life slows you down, we’re here to keep your pup moving. If you’d like to learn more or schedule an intro session, we’d love to meet you and your dog.
