My dog is recently been a subject of a review on here that wasn't favorable, the review is…read moreinaccurate and untrue. The person leaving the review has no direct relation to my dog or to the dog walking services from my understanding. I am completely satisfied with Stephens care for my eight month old 61 pound lab. His techniques and understanding have helped me be a better dog dad in training and also my dog a better dog the world at large. I'm so grateful that I found Stephen and his services if I could get 10 stars I would. His commitment flexibility to my schedule the pictures throughout the day with videos the pack walks. All of it is exactly why he deserves 10 stars.

He keeps me updated with photos and messages regularly, which gives me so much peace of mind while I'm at work. My dog Nugget (who can be a little shy at first and has bad separation anxiety), warmed up to Stephen almost immediately. It's clear that Nugget is treated with patience, affection, and plenty of playtime. I highly recommend this sitter to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and genuinely passionate about animals.

They go crazy when they see the van full of their doggy friends drive up, and we love that they come home worn out from a long walk. We have also boarded the dogs with Debbie. Most recently they stayed with her a full week. The best part is that we completely trust Debbie with our high maintenance dogs and don't have to worry about them when we are gone. She TRULY understands dogs. They get to play in her large fenced yard and go on pack walks during the week. We bring their beds to her house so they get to sleep in their own beds. We feel so grateful that we found Bark n Barrel! Thanks Debbie and crew!

This review is a long time coming. Steve and Silke are wonderful. Steve is amazing with dogs (a…read moretrue pro) and Silke has excellent communication. They boarded our greyhound last year during a vacation and went out of their way to ensure our gal was comfortable. It was so much appreciated and confirmed that we made the right choice for boarding. They have a great facility for boarding, with a very nice fenced outside play area, which we could tell our gal loved. Our greyhound was returned to us in wonderful shape, happy and with no injuries or fleas, etc.

It is very clear how much they care and pay attention to your dog, and they are the first to tell you if they notice anything off with your pup. We boarded our dog with them for 7 years and will continue to do so with our future dogs. Highly recommend!

My Emerson is a rescue and he's a very nervous dog and a flight risk - so I'm incredibly picky with who I trust him with and I trust Affinity. Ashley does an amazing job walking Tegan and Emerson regularly (and sends the cutest pictures) and for our most recent family vacation, Debbie did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and my parents dogs (4 large breed dogs) at my home while we all went on vacation for 9 days. Since my parents dogs were new to Affinity, Debbie came out twice to hang out with their dogs before we left and totally won them over. Debbie sent us updates and pictures and we felt confident that the dogs were really enjoying themselves which left us all free to enjoy ourselves too. I can't recommend Affinity enough.

I was always hesitant to trust someone I didn't already know to come into my home and care for my beloved cats. Laura put us at ease right away. We spoke on the phone initially, then scheduled a Meet & Greet where my husband, myself, and our two Ragdoll boys got to hang out with and get to know Laura. Right away, I understood that Laura is a kind, dependable, intuitive, professional person who truly loves what she does, AND has a sense of humor. She kept in touch with us via text messaging every day for the 5 days we were gone, sending updates and cute photos of our boys. Knowing that our kitties were in good hands with someone trustworthy made all the difference for us during our time away. We will absolutely contact Laura the next time we go out of town. I can't recommend her enough!

Lindsey is in an entire different league, helping you connect with your dog on an entire different level. Most trainers work just on the physical and "symptoms", especially with problem or aggressive dogs. Lindsey works to understand how they think, connecting with them on an emotional level. Obviously, this sounds much different than what most people are use to, but I highly recommend getting out of your typical comfort zone. Your dog will thank you.

Trish is amazing. There are not enough words to express how amazing and life changing she is. My…read moredog Rocky adored her. On the days he went to Day Care he would position himself where he could see Trish's van come around the corner. When he saw the van, he would get so excited he would start to shake. He loved his Auntie Trish so much. Knowing he was in such good hands gave me the opportunity to take long trips without worrying about him as well as long work days when he was safe and happy with his Auntie Trish. Rocky recently passed away at the age of 14. He was a "difficult dog." He was never difficult with Trish. She really is a dog whisperer, and loves your pet almost as much as you do.

Trish and Maria came over several days before to meet the dogs and gather information about them including their meds, where they sleep, what/when they eat, when they go to the bathroom. They were great, taking any and all information I gave them. On the day we left for vacation I left another long (obsessive) list on the counter with all of the dogs information. When Maria arrived she texted us a picture of the dogs letting us know they were doing well. When she left every morning Maria texted another picture letting us know how the dogs were doing and what time she was leaving. Again this happened in the evening with more pictures. These pictures and texts made me feel like our fur babies were in excellent hands and eased any nerves I had about leaving the dogs with a stranger. When we arrived home after 3 nights away the dogs had been well cared for and were happy and healthy. I am so thankful to Maria and Trish for the wonderful service they provided to our dogs.
