What Pet Parents Say

"Our goldendoodle, Milo, went from anxious to absolutely thriving after using BarkBound's daily walks. He's calmer at home, sleeps better, and the whole family is happier. Highly recommend!"
— Sarah M., Portland
"Finding trustworthy dog care was stressful until we met the team. They treated our rescue pup like family. We've used them for walks and boarding, and our dog literally cries when they leave."
— James T., Portland
"As a busy professional, having someone I trust with my dog made all the difference. The daily updates and photos are wonderful, and my German Shepherd's energy is finally managed."
— Elena R., Portland

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do walks cost?
Our 30-minute walks start at $18-22 depending on location and time. 60-minute walks are $28-35. Group walks cost less. We offer package discounts for weekly recurring services and new-customer specials.
Are your walkers insured and trained?

What if my dog has anxiety or special needs?
We specialize in anxious, reactive, and special-needs dogs. We do a free consultation to understand your dog's behavior, medical history, and preferences, then craft a custom care plan that works best for them.
How do you communicate about my dog?
After each visit, you receive a text and photo update showing what your dog did, how they behaved, and any notes worth knowing. You can message your walker anytime with questions.
Can my dog play with other dogs?
Yes! We offer group play sessions for dogs who enjoy socialization, and we carefully vet compatibility. If your dog prefers solo time, all walks and services are one-on-one.
