Our Story

The idea of Barking Good Pet Services emerged in 2008 after caring for 3 other dogs along with our own for a week. I was impressed with how well it all worked and the benefits it brought to my family and the visiting dogs. So I made the decision to care for dogs on a professional basis and started Barking Good in 2009. It was a great decision and I gained an amazing reputation quickly.

In 2011 it was time to expand and I went in search for a new location finding the perfect spot in the Springbank area for us to call home.

I'm Crystal and the Owner of Barking Good

I left the corporate world after the birth of my oldest son to start Barking Good Pet Services. I have grown up around dogs and always had a passion to understand their innate characteristics.

Through years of research, studying and applying personal experience I have fine tuned my skills in working with a variety of breeds and behaviours.

My goal with EVERY dog is to ensure they are confident in the pack. Using a dogs' breed instinct and applying that into the pack while carefully observing their socialization skills brings the best results out of your dog. Every day is unique at Barking Good and I always ensure that we stay flexible to each dogs' needs.

Meet Evan

My oldest son loves being a part of the excitement around here. We have built some special bonds with our 4-legged guests and our goal is to build a lasting relationship with you so we can continue to enjoy your pets' friendship.

Meet Kendra

Hello! I’m Kendra, I’ve had a passion for animals since day one. I worked in the show jumping industry for 15 years and I’m able to use that knowledge and love with the dogs at Barking Good! When I’m not working you can find me riding my horses, throwing the ball for my dog Ernie or watching hockey. Go Flames Go!

Meet Taylor

Hello, I’m Taylor! Growing up I’ve always had dogs and cats in the house so they have been a big part of my life and I fell in love with them. I got into pet care because I wanted to know more about what makes a dog act the way they do and how they think, and be able to take care of your fur friends as if they were my own! When I’m not at Barking Good, I’m at home reading a book, hanging out with my own 2 dogs or with my family and friends.

Meet Mckayla

Hello, my name is Mckayla.

I have worked in the dog industry for many years and I love being around all the dogs. I have also worked in a rescue organizing and fostered many of their dogs. I am without my own dog right now but enjoy the company of my hamster and my fish. Working with the dogs never feels like a job to me but, feels more like a second home. When I'm not at my second home, I enjoy art, hiking and going to car shows.

Meet Johanna

Hello! My name is Johanna,

I’ve always had a huge passion for animals of all kinds since I was a little kid. Anything from small rodents to fish to horses. But I’ve always particularly loved dogs. I spent many years working in the horse industry and also spent some time working for a dog rescue. I love being around all the dogs and getting to know each and every one of them as individuals. Outside of work you can either find me at home with my boyfriend and our fish, or working on my undergraduate studies.

Meet Azaria

I'm Azaria, an avid animal lover who has always felt a deep connection with dogs. From a young age, I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to working with them. Whether it's training, caring for, or simply spending time with dogs, I find joy and purpose in every moment. My journey is all about making a positive impact in the lives of these amazing animals! In my free time, I enjoy travelling, snowboarding and spending time with family!
