Introduction: Barking Trails is a premier dog walking and pet sitting service provider, serving all of Maryland, D.C., and Northern Virginia. Our team of dog walkers and pet sitters have years of pet care experience, have gone through a rigorous interview process, undergone background checks, and are insured and bonded by Liberty Mutual Insurance. Before services begin we provide a free consultation, where you can meet with the local manager and pet sitter. You will have the same sitter for each visit, and just in case your sitter isn't available, a backup will be ready to fill in. We understand schedules can vary week to week, so we are very understanding of any last minute changes and do whatever we can to accommodate. Let our experienced staff here at Barking Trails take care of your pets when you can’t!

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.

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
