Our Story

Roommates in college, Tristan Alleyne and Adam Goldberger founded Barking Trails in 2015 with the goal of providing pet parents a safe and affordable option of care for their four legged family members.

We now have over 100 dog walkers and pet sitters around the DC metropolitan area that are happy to take care of their favorite pets on a daily basis.

All of our dog walkers and pet sitters are insured and bonded and have years experience working with pets of all kinds.

Tristan Alleyne (co-founder)

Tristan was born in Barbados and lived there until he was 6 years old. Tristan’s family settled in Boston before moving to Silver Spring, Maryland for his high school years. He attended Salisbury University and graduated with a degree in Exercise Science, and minor in Business Management.

In addition to co-owning Barking Trails, Tristan has owned and managed his own contracting business since 2014. A long-time lover of dogs, Tristan is beyond happy to be working with pets on a daily basis. His own dog, Lenny, is a very nice and fun-loving boxer who gets along with all the dogs Tristan takes in for boardings.

Adam Goldberger (co-founder)

Adam has lived in Maryland his whole life and graduated from Salisbury University with a degree in Marketing.

At Salisbury, Adam was a member of the tennis team, and still continues to play, as well as teach lessons. Adam loves being around animals and is very happy to be able to pursue this passion with his career. He’s had a dog most of his life, Waldo the dachshund, and loves being able to take in client’s dogs when they go out of town.
