Heather Lauwers 
Owner, Barkies – Dog Walks & Pet Care

Hi! Welcome to Barkies and thanks for checking us out! I have been a Northport resident for over 25 years, and established Barkies in 2013.

Animals have always been a passion of mine. I always had pets as a child and was taught to care and have respect for them from an early age. This has only grown stronger as an adult, and it gives me great joy and happiness to be around them.

I decided to leave a lengthy career in the restaurant and hospitality industry and make caring for animals my full-time job. I truly believe if you do something you love, you never work a day in your life.

I currently have two little rescue puppies Jojo and Lilly. They may be smaller dogs, but they are BIG on personality!
