What our clients say
Trusting someone with your dog is always difficult. After an extensive search, we came across Ana from Barking Love. Since our first conversation, I was impressed by her professionalism and knowledge about the canine world... her whole approach made me realize that I had struck gold. Peu stayed with her multiple times. Sometimes I felt that, although happy to see me, he was reluctant to leave Ana and come back home. The connection they developed even made my wife kinda jealous. But how it was good to have the peace of mind to travel knowing that my little fellow was in amazing hands! I would like to highly recommend her work as, hands down, the best caretaker I’ve ever known.
"We were fortunate to find Ana as our dog-sitter. We finally have a dog-sitter that we can trust with our dog. When we travel, we have no worries about him. Our chihuahua really likes her dogs, and Ana sends us regular photos and videos while we're away. That gives us amazing peace of mind. Choosing Ana's dog services was the best decision we made back in October 2016 when we first used her boarding services"
Ana took wonderful care of our sweet Gracie. She was happy to have a meet and greet to ensure everyone was comfortable before dog sitting. We received tons of photos and videos throughout the stay and she was very communicative, which reassured us that Gracie was being well taken care of. She has a passion for pets and it shines in everyway. We will absolutely use her services again in the future.
"I love Ana and my dog loves her! We left Chase there for 18 days and she was constantly sending me updates with pictures and videos of Chase. I really liked the continuous communication I had with her throughout my trip. Chase had a great time there and got to sleep on Ana’s bed with her too (he’s very spoiled). He went to the dog park with her many times and I worry now that we won’t be enough “fun” for him as Ana was! Chase was anxious around other dogs when I left him and by the end of our trip he was playing with Ana’s dogs which made me really happy. I felt completely comfortable leaving my fur baby there and you can tell she is a true dog lover 100%."
“As the foster mom to our dog Tinks, we met Ana many years ago through the adoption process. And we are so grateful that we did! Ana is the only person we trust to take care of Tinks. Ana has a heart of gold and Tinks loves her. We are able to travel in confidence knowing Tinks is well loved and taken care of by Ana when we are away.”
When Willy (my late Yorkie) got older, I didn't trust anyone but Ana to look after him. She treated my little boy with so much care and love, as if he was her own pup. After meeting her, I was sure I didn't need to look further for someone who would spoil my pup and give him all the attention, love and affection he deserved. Ana is also a superb human being. Wherever she goes she brightens up the day with her loving personality and generosity. Her background in veterinary care and canine behaviour only adds up to her competence and pristine skills as a pet sitter. I wish everyone could have Ana as their trusted pet sitter. She's the best. I hold her close to my heart... and so did Willy.
"I feel extremely lucky for having met Ana & Marcelo back in 2017. Since then, I have left Bosco with them on many occasions when I had to be out of town and in all the cases he didn't want to leave them when I was finally back. I suspect he is seriously in love with Olivia (their lovely Golden Retriever) and it is a treat for him to spend time with Ana, Marcelo and the whole pack. On my part, it is always a relief to know my dear Bosco is in good hands when he is with Ana."
"When we first got Yuki, one of our concerns was who could we leave her with when we travelled? We had a trip planned that couldn't be changed... but Yuki was only six and half months old. I did my research and found Barking Love. From our first trial visit Yuki was welcomed by Ana, her husband and of course her pups. When we picked Yuki up, she didn't want to leave. Barking Love is a safe, secure and homelike environment. Yuki definitely became part of their family too. We have used Ana and Barking Love several times over the past 4 and a half years. It's always been a positive experience. Thank you for looking after Yuki as if she was one of yours"
"My husband and I travel quite a bit, and each time we're away, we have a wonderful sense of peace knowing that our dogs and our home are being well taken care of. Ana goes above and beyond to make sure they are getting plenty of love, and even takes the time to send us photos and videos to keep us updated."
