Our Story

The concept of Barking Good Pet Services took shape in 2009 after I had the opportunity to care for three additional dogs alongside my own for a week. I was truly impressed by how seamlessly everything came together and the positive impact it had on both my family and the visiting dogs. This experience inspired me to pursue dog care professionally, leading to the establishment of Barking Good in 2009. It turned out to be a fantastic decision, and I quickly built an outstanding reputation.


By 2011, it was time to grow, and I embarked on a search for a new location, ultimately discovering the ideal spot in the Springbank area for us to call home.

I'm Crystal and the Owner of Barking Good


After the birth of my oldest son, I decided to leave the corporate arena and embark on a new journey by founding Barking Good Pet Services. Having grown up surrounded by dogs, I’ve always been passionate about understanding their inherent traits.


Through years of dedicated research and personal experiences, I've honed my expertise in working with a diverse array of breeds and behaviors.


My objective with every dog is to cultivate their confidence within the pack. By leveraging a dog's breed instincts and thoughtfully observing their socialization skills, I aim to achieve the best possible outcomes for your furry friend. Each day at Barking Good is distinct, and I consistently ensure that we remain adaptable to meet the individual needs of each dog.

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!
