Testimonials
Client Reviews
Our clients trust us to provide the best care for their pets. Here's what they have to say about our exceptional service.

Rachel Paul
"Desiree is wonderful with my German shepherd. She knows how to handle his dog aggression and even works on training during those extreme hot days. She is a great communicator and always so thoughtful. When my chihuahua passed, so brought me the sweetest framed photo of my girl. I’m lucky to have found Desiree!"

Jesenia Pelayo
"We are so happy we found Desiree! Our dog loved her from the moment she walked through the door. She scheduled a meet and greet before our first official appointment to know more about our pet, which I found helpful. She’s very professional and so knowledgeable. I’ve consulted her for advice on pet care as well as walking our dog. Her prices are reasonable and she tries her best to accommodate us when we need someone to stop by and check on our fur baby. She has an app that is very user friendly.
If you’re in the Garfield ridge/midway or surrounding areas looking for a reliable person to trust with your pet, I would highly recommend her."

I especially like their app that tracks the path our dogs were walked, updates about the walk and communication. They were always on time and trustworthy with our pets.
I highly recommend Max and Oakleys Bark Barn."
