Why Barkley Square?

Barkley Square is a long-standing business in the Washington, DC area that provides in-home pet sitting and pet grooming services. The business was founded in 1991 by Kristina Robertson, who originally called it Karing by Kristina. Since then, the business has grown and added professional pet grooming services, with a strong focus on the well-being of pets and customer satisfaction.

We are committed to providing our clients with the highest quality of care for their pets. Our team of experienced and dedicated professionals is passionate about animals and dedicated to providing the best possible experience for your pet.

We understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be a difficult decision, so we make it our priority to build a relationship with you and your pet so that we can provide the best possible care. We offer a free consultation so that we can get to know you and your pet and answer any questions you may have.

Our Mission Statement

At Barkley Square, our main aim is to create strong connections between our clients' pets and their owners. We strive to offer exceptional service whenever we interact with your pets. In addition to standard services like dog walking, pet sitting, and pet grooming, we take a comprehensive approach to your pets' overall well-being. We also strongly believe in supporting local shelters and rescue groups, advocating for animals who do not have a voice.
