What it takes to become a Barkly Pets Dog Walker
Experience and Passion - We seek walkers who share our obsession with pets and customer happiness, and emulate our company values. Whether you have previous dog walking experience, you’re a shelter volunteer/foster, or an enthusiastic, long-time pet owner, you’ll have an opportunity to tell us why you have the right stuff.
Screening and Verification - There is a very serious side to pet care—customers trust caretakers with the safety of their family members and homes. You must be able to pass a criminal background check, have credentials and references verified, and pass safety and animal behavior assessments.
Quick Onboarding - Once your application is approved, getting set up is fast and simple. An automated process assists you in setting up your profile, connecting direct deposit, and scheduling your availability.

Barkly services are one of the most remarkable easy going, dog walking experiences to have for your pet! It was simple to set up on the app. It felt safe with the walker giving their photo ID to concierge (especially with me being able to share a name and photo of the walker beforehand with concierg...

Great company to work for. I've been a walker for about 6 months. The app is extremely easy to navigate and use.

Here’s what I can tell you about Barkly Pets, with experience as both a former walker and a former employee who worked closely with the founders and staff: their mission statement, “People’s pets should be cared for by someone who loves them as much as they do” is taken to heart. Every perso...

Barkly is a great company to work for! I am a dog walker for the company and I can say that before we are officially out on the field working, we are properly and thoroughly trained. What I like most about Barkly is that dog owners have the option to have a meet-and-greet with dog walkers. I think i...

I've been using Barkly for 6 months, since my puppy was 8 weeks old and even when he couldn't really go for long walks outside.

Susan K.
Great experience! I hurt my leg and couldn't walk my dog for several days. Walkers were responsive, sweet with my boxer, understanding of her leash reactiveness and took her on great walks. She was always happy and tired when she returned! Being able to see the map of their walk was a huge plus. ...

Great Service. Always helpful and Never a problem....

We started using Barkly when we adopted our then shy dachshund, and have loved our experience. I appreciated that our first walker was fantastic and continued to pick up our walk requests, so that our dog had consistency. When she wasn't available, we had two other great walkers who checked in to ma...

I have a very needy, very big great dane. We recently moved to DC and it was a tough transition. The Barkly team was everything for my dog! They helped me find the perfect walker, they listened to my concerns, they were SUPER quick and responsive. I ended up with an amazing walker who is flexible, h...
Sarah E.
I absolutely love Barkly. It's more convenient that other dog walking services thanks to its app; the walkers seem to genuinely care about dogs; and the prices are competitive. I used it in DC and am sad to have moved to a city that's still waiting on its Barkly presence. Fingers crossed that I can ...

I have been a Barkly costumer for over a year now and am thankful to have found a trustworthy company that my dog and I both love.

Not only does Barkly treat the dogs they walk (full pun intended) as if they were their own, but their management and company ideals make it a great environment for us walkers as well! The best things by far about Barkly are the on-demand nature of the app, the fact that they only walk one dog at a...

I've been a loyal Barkly customer for almost a year now. Anytime my fiancee and I head out of town, one of Barkly's extremely friendly "walkers" comes over, feeds our cat, and plays with her. It's given us a lot of peace of mind knowing that we can leave for the weekend and that our cat is in good h...

I am a biased reviewer as I have been working with Barkly for quite some time now, but I am also a user of the service and I couldn't be happier.

I love everything about Barkly. My dog means the world to me, so only the best will suffice. The app is great and the walkers are knowledgeable and caring. My dog, Kingsi, comes to work with me, but Barkly provides a great, flexible service for him to get some exercise while I stay productive....

I used Barkly for the first time today and was very impressed. It was easy to use and they did a fantastic job. I'm not one to trust others easily with my most prized possession- my dog!
