“Our lil Oliver has been going to Bark Avenue for 12 years! He LOVES it and so do we. We are so happy knowing that when we are away that Oliver is having a great time and that they know him so well and take care of his needs. No one is happier then Oliver when he realizes that the car ride has taken him to Bark Avenue for either a play day or a sleep over!”

11. Elson L.
“Elson is the best dog sitter we've found for our pup, Millie! She can be a bit shy, but Elson‘s calm and friendly personality really got her to open up. What I also loved was how flexible and accommodating Elson was with Millie’s routine. He made sure to stick to her usual walks and feeding times, which really helped her settle in. The constant updates were above and beyond, but what really made a difference was seeing how genuinely happy Millie was. She even came home calmer and more relaxed than usual! We’ll definitely be booking with Elson again.”

I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter!”

17. Lily G.
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs in my house, I cannot remember a time where I havent been around my own dogs or others. I’ve watched my dogs grow up, as theyve watched me grow up too! Because I grew up around them and helping to care for them, I know what they need and how to care for them, I enjoy taking walks with them, and just making sure that they understand that they feel as loved as they make me feel! My family’s dogs are our family members— I can’t imagine our family without them, and they should have all the happy moments that they want, so I want to help ease other dog families with the comfort in knowing I will give my own love to their furry family members if given the opportunity to help care for them! Im currently working part time, and theres no set in place schedule for my job, but all of my free time will go to caring for these pets! Since my schedule isn’t set, I dont have soecific off days to give, but I can ensure that I have plenty of free time to do walks and spend time with them! I take a lot of care towards my own dogs and I will treat your dogs/pets as the same. I make sure my dogs are always met with love, and I listen to what they need or what they may want— I take them on long walks and ho outside with them as much as possible, because I know thats what they love!


18. Marilyn P.

“Marilyn and her son Adam were awesome. I took my 11 month old and 50 pound pitbull mix to them for a few hours and it looks like my pup had a great and fun time. From when my pup first met them, she was shy but she warmed up to Marilyn and Adam within minutes. She came home pretty tired as she probably ran around quite a bit and was entertained by them during their care. Thank you both!”


19. Gina R.
“Love Gina! She’s awesome with our pups. Reliable, trustworthy, and caring. I feel very at ease knowing my fur babies are in good hands while in Gina’s care. And best part is my pups love her too.”


20. Neydy & Miguel D.
“Neydy is a very caring person! She took care of our puppy and filled in as the dog mom for a week. We highly recommend Neydy for your pet sitting needs! She took pictures, took our puppy on lots of walks, gave our puppy cuddles.”


21. Stephanie G.

“Stephanie and Bridget were so awesome!! Mabel had a great time and came back so happy and tired (a tired puppy is a happy puppy in my book)! I definitely recommend them for anyone looking for friendly and responsible sitters:) 10/10❤️”
