Marcy Vigren, Owner

Tim Hartsock

Tim has been a dog trainer since the early 1990s. He uses his “dog whispering” skills to help out local shelters, rescues and the Bark Barn. His vast knowledge and experience with canines and various animal institutions is invaluable to the function of our kennel. He genuinely loves and understands how dogs think making them love him back.

Carol Swales

Carol has been an amazing asset for Bark Barn since late 2021. Her skill and dedication to animals is unparallel as is evident with her current family members of 6 cats and 6 dogs. Outside of caring for your pups, she volunteers with Our Lil Bit of Heaven Animal Rescue, where most of her animals have benn acquired. She truly has a heart of gold.

Brook Hilbert

Brooke started with us in 2023 and is a huge asset to our operation. She has great experience with dogs at other kennels as well as with her own (pictured). She is a natural with canines and humans alike. She is a joy to be around!
