Barkers Pet Services

Jan has walked my dog Teo for 5 years since he was 9 months old and a very timid boy. His confidence through Jan's care, knowledge and love for dogs has grown and grown.He is so happy and excited to see her for walk times and has the best time out with her and his buddies.I can't recommend her enough!

We have a lively Cockapoo and he and Janet have been best mates since he was a puppy. We started with puppy visits and now he walks with Janet and his pals at least twice a week and boards a couple of times a year. He is always so excited to be picked up, and returns exhausted and blissfully happy after each walk. He's brilliant on walks with us, waits to have his lead put on, lets us dry him down, plays well with other dogs he meets, recalls and responds to treats well. I know that this isn't all our doing - walks with Janet and his pals has taught him good doggy social skills and manners which is an added bonus for us! Janet is accommodating, caring and loves our dog as much as we do.

Milo is always so excited to see Jan, he loves his walks with her and it's so reassuring to know he's in such save hands.

Janet has been walking my Springer Spaniel, Daphne, for two years now. She's fantastic! It's reassuring knowing that Daphne is in good hands and has a proper walk. Janet always provides lots of photos and videos, as well as being really flexible bookings. You can really see who much she cares about each and every one of the dogs, I cannot recommend her enough.

Jan has been my dog walker for years now. She is absolutely fantastic. Practical, knowledgeable about dog behaviour and body language, and a very skilled dog handler. It’s very easy to set up and call yourself a dog walker nowadays. But Janet is the real deal of someone who genuinely knows what she is doing and knows dogs.

This is the 3rd time we have had Marley our Labrador stay with Barkers Pet Services. The last 2 times were for 2 week stays but this time we booked him in for 3 weeks. We had absolutely no problem doing this as we were so comfortable and happy with his last 2 stays we knew he would be more than settled. This is a fantastic place for our dog to be and would highly recommend Barkers Pet Services for home boarding. We couldn't imagine putting Marley in kennels as we tried this when he was younger and did nothing but worry about him.They send us regular pictures on whats app of his stay and updates of what he is doing which is great. Marley is 6yrs old and quite a broadly built Labrador. Since being a pup he has always stayed by our side and been quite a nervous dog and is sometimes scared of small dogs and most big dogs. It takes him a while to get used to a new doggy friend but when he finds one he likes he will follow it around and play. We explained all Marley's fears and all things he enjoys to Jan & Liz and this has always been taken on board when walking Marley and taking care of him.We couldn't imagine leaving him anywhere else now and every time we bring him back for a stay even if its been a year since his last one, he jumps out of the car and runs straight in.Thank you Jan & Liz and we look forward to booking Marley in for his next stay.Lisa & Brett Armitage(Manchester)

There are not enough stars to give Barkers Pet Services. Jan is the most amazing dog walker I have ever met. Her love and energy with her dogs never ends. She is the most interactive and caring dog walker I have ever had and I would recommend her a million times over. Jasper can't get enough time with his Auntie Jan and buddies. I wish he got that excited when he sees me! Barkers Pet Services are extremely reliable and offer an outstanding service. Jasper always comes home shattered after all their fun and games. Thank you for all that you do and making Jaspers walks extremely enjoyable. X

Janet is simply the best dog walker you could hope for. She loves the dogs and, more importantly, they love her. She is the only person outside my family that my dog will run to without checking in" first.I can't recommend her highly enough

Janet is just brilliant - our dogs always come back well exercised and clearly having had a fantastic time with her and other dogs. She takes them on really lovely adventures and it's peace of mind knowing they've had a fun time out for a couple hours whilst I am at work. Highly recommend!

Barkers (IE Jan) dog walkers walk out Spanish water dog Babs every week day 12:30... Jan is truly incredible; she is the best dog walker we have ever come across, so much so many of my friends wish she covered their address so she could take their dogs out.What is so heart warming is how excited our dog, Babs, is every time she hears Jan's car pull up. Jan is always punctual, communicates brilliantly, and also has the dog's best interests at heart; for example, if it is a hot day she makes sure the dogs are shaded and watered, or she will do an early morning walk if the weather is too hot. Rain, snow or hail doesn't stop Jan which is exemplary!When me and my partner go out walking Babs and happen to run in to Jan on a walk, she is animated, not staring at her phone, throwing the ball endlessly with all the dogs circling round her. Jan is testament to the profession - she isn't like some dog walkers that walk round holding their phone ignoring the dogs! Alongside this, Babs runs straight over to Jan to play with her and her pals if she ever runs in to them.I couldn't recommend Jan enough to walk your dog. I'd give her 10 stars out of 5 if I could!
