    Barking Trails is terrific. We used them for daily dog walking for a long time with our puppy. They were responsive and didn't miss a beat even when our regular dog walker had to take a break. They were terrific to work with and we will use them again whenever we have a need. Can't say enough about how great Tristan and his team are to work with.

    I LOVE this company and my dog walker!! I am at work for several hours during the day and it is so convenient to have someone come walk my dog everyday for me when I’m away. Barking trails is extremely professional and the walkers are flexible and friendly. I met my walker ahead of time which I really liked so that I could get to know who would be with my dog on a regular basis. It’s great having a dog walking company I can rely on and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

    I was skeptical about using a dog walking company at first but I thought that I would try out 'Barking Trails' after checking out their rates. I have to say that I was impressed at the professionalism that I experienced. They came out to meet and introduce the walker. Unfortunatley, we had to change our walker after 4 months because they were going back to college full-time but Barking Trails came out again to make sure the replacement was suitable. I have to say: wow! I did not expect this level of service from a dog walking company. Most of all, my 5 yr old dog is more obedient and seems happier than ever. I would recommend to anyone working a 9-5 line up an appointment with Barking Trails if you want your dog taken care of with a touch of class!

    Why Dogs Thrive on Routine

    Dogs are at their best when life feels predictable, safe, and consistent. While spontaneous adventures can be fun, it’s the daily rhythm of walks, meals, playtime, and rest that truly helps dogs feel calm and confident. Routine gives them a clear understanding of what to expect, which reduces anxiety and allows their personality to shine.vAt
