Professional, reliable and I can tell they enjoy what they do. We needed a dog walker in the mornings as I recover from foot surgery. We are now on our second week, and my Beau looks forward to his walks with Ana. Thank you..

I used them when I had a job that took me away all day. Scout loved all of her walkers. I changed jobs and no longer need a dog walker but if and when I ever need a dog walker I would use them

Details: 1 dog • 2 - 10 years old • Medium (26 - 40 lbs) • 15 minutes • No preference • The dog walker travels to me

Barking Trails was such a life saver! We met our rescue dog and the foster said we could take him home THAT SAME DAY! We were not quite prepared but did not want to pass on this opportunity. We rushed to the store to pick up some essentials and got the house ready. Once we brought Chubo home we realized that we needed to line up a dog walker. Adam was incredibly responsive and sent someone the next day! Harinate is our walker and Chubo loves the days she comes to walk him. You can't go wrong with Adam and his team at Barking Trails!

Details: 1 dog • 2 - 10 years old • Large (41 - 70 lbs) • 30 minutes (standard) • No preference • My home, venue, etc.

Our walker Raysa was able to pop over when we were out of town, our 2 dogs liked her, and she texted us pics of them happily having supper. Would hire again.

Details: 2 dogs • 2 - 10 years old • 10 years or older • Large (41 - 70 lbs) • Medium (26 - 40 lbs) • 30 minutes (standard) • Prefer a private walk for my dog(s) alone • Feeding • My home, venue, etc.
