Why Barkside Bay?
When it comes to caring for your pets, we know you want more than just convenience. You want safety, reliability, and people you can truly trust. That’s exactly what sets us apart.
Safety is Our Priority
All dogs wear martingale collars on walks because they prevent dogs from slipping out without causing harm. If your dog uses a harness or another preferred item, we add a double-clip system for extra security. On top of that, every dog wears a Tractive GPS device with live tracking during visits. In the rare case of an emergency, we can pinpoint their location instantly. Your pet’s safety is always our top priority and we are proud to be the only professional company in Erie that takes these extra steps.
Professional, Employee-Based Team
Our team is made up of dedicated employees, not gig workers. This means consistent training, accountability, and a shared commitment to our company values.
Licensed, Bonded, and Insured
Your pets and your home are always protected. As a fully licensed, bonded, and insured company, we go above and beyond to ensure peace of mind for every client.
Ongoing Training and Development
Pet care is always evolving, and so are we. Our team participates in continued training to stay sharp on best practices, safety protocols, and animal behavior. We believe knowledge is just as important as compassion.
​Reliable Coverage You Can Trust
Because we work as a team, you’ll never have to worry about last-minute cancellations. We do our best to keep care consistent with the same sitter or walker, but since we are a team, your pet is always covered, even if someone has a schedule change.
Communication Every Step of the Way
You’ll never wonder how things went. After each visit, you’ll receive updates, and notes (even down to their bathroom habits!) via our personalized app photos, so you always feel connected, even when you can’t be there.
Community-Focused
We’re proud to partner with the Erie Humane Society and other trusted pet professionals across the county. Because we care more about your pet’s well-being than simply booking a service, if we aren’t the best fit for your situation, we’re happy to refer you to another professional we trust.
We Truly Love What We Do
At the end of the day, what makes us different is simple: we truly love what we do. Every walk, every visit, every overnight stay is handled with the same care we’d want for our own pets.
