They were with us…read morein our days of four dogs, then three dogs and a baby (RIP Butter), then two dogs and two babies (Isabel frolicking with her sister at the Rainbow Bridge), and many, many foster pups & kitties. Thru it all (and our crazy two career chaos) they rolled with the punches and took care of the fur-babies. We've been gone two years now, but we still keep in touch with the TDW crew. Absolutely recommend TDW to care for your loved ones like their own.

Because of my telework schedule, I've been home when she comes to get my girl for her walk. My pup starts looking at the door and whining about 30 minutes before her arrival and goes crazy when she sees her buddy. I am so grateful I have someone trustworthy and fur baby approved for my girl. Amy is amazing! I adopted a 18 lb rescue Terrier Mix and was not prepared for keeping her home during the work days for two weeks while her vaccines kicked in. Amy jumped in to help. She is flexible to assist with last minute schedule changes. Being military, I appreciated Amy's military family background because she understands my unique challenges and also can get on base with no problem. She even brought a harness when my little escape artist needed it. I trust her completely and am bummed she won't be going with us when we move in January. My puppy loves her, too, and can't wait for Miss Amy to visit!

She gives my girls love and great walks 5 days a week. I have also asked her to help me when I go on vacations. At one point she cared for them for three weeks! I have often required extra visits due to my military work schedule. I love the daily pictures that she sends to my phone.! Shari never hesitates to tell me if something is off with my home or my retrievers. She gives loving corrections to them and I have seen a huge improvement in behavior over the past two years. I fully trust her with my girls and my home. I can not say enough good things about this company and their services!

We currently have a an 8 month old red nose pit bull that is very hyper and to be honest just out…read moreof control. I have a small child in my house and decided that if we were to keep the dog we had to get a dog trainer in the home to correct some of his behaviors. My husband searched around on Craigslist and decided on Travis. When Travis arrived to our home he was very professional and prepared to immediately begin working. Within the first few minutes of Travis interacting with our dog we noticed a change in behavior. Clearly we were not interacting with him properly which is part of the problem. After the first lesson my dog was coming on command to his name and learning self control. After our second lesson he was learning not to bother my small child as he played nearby. We have 4 more lessons in our package but as of now we are definitely satisfied with the progress the dog is making.

The daily updates and pictures assured us that our dogs were having just as much fun as we were on their own vacation so we didn't have to feel guilty about having to leave them. Our dogs were extremely well cared for and had a great time.

I'll definitely use A Barking Good Time, LLC again in the future!

I asked why they had small dogs with the bigger dogs and was told "the small dogs are too rambunctious to be with the other small dogs." I was told that staff had to break up my dog and the small dog and she was put into a kennel for the rest of the day but the dogs had never gotten physical. I pick my dog up and she has scratches and bite marks on her tummy and no one had called and told me. I called them and they said that they had no idea but that my dog was still welcome to come back. Never coming back here again.
