# Barkers Pet Services
Barkers Pet Services is a dog walking and pet care business based in Salford, run by Jan, an Ofqual Level 3 qualified canine care and behaviour specialist. The business caters to dog owners who need reliable, professional care whilst they're at work or simply want their pets to enjoy socialising and exercise with other dogs.
What sets Barkers apart is Jan's genuine passion for canine welfare, backed by substantial credentials. She's insured, licensed, CRB checked and canine first aid trained. Jan's commitment to reliability is notable—she guarantees a full hour walk for every hour paid, not the reduced time common with other services. Her background as a chartered landscape architect who left the corporate world to pursue her vocation demonstrates authentic dedication rather than casual entrepreneurship.
The business emphasises personalised service through free meet-and-greet consultations at your home, allowing Jan to understand each dog's individual needs. She provides photographic and video updates after walks so owners can see their pets enjoying themselves. Her marketing includes humorous touches like "Expert Ball Thrower," adding personality whilst maintaining professionalism.
Flexible scheduling accommodates busy modern life, with options ranging from hourly group walks to 15-minute home visits for feeding, toilet breaks and companionship. Discounts are offered for block bookings and multiple dogs from the same household, making the service accessible to various customer needs. Jan's approach treats every dog as she would her own, including her adopted rescue dog Benton, the catalyst for starting the business.
