Walking Windward One Paw at a Time

Meet Barb Oswald, the familiar face behind Alpharetta Dog Walk and a beloved part of our community.

Barb and Teddy, where every visit ends in a hug

Stories like this are at the heart of Stroll Windward. Because if you live here, chances are you have already seen her. Walking. Smiling. Surrounded by very happy dogs.

Meet Barb Oswald, founder and owner of Alpharetta Dog Walk and quite possibly Windward’s most trusted human in the eyes of our four-legged crowd. Barb launched her business after retiring from her full-time career, proving that retirement does not mean slowing down. It just means swapping work days for leashes.

Barb and her incredible team offer more than just walks. They deliver peace of mind. With a simple, heartfelt focus on giving your furry family members the exercise, attention, and care they deserve, they go above and beyond. Licensed, insured, and proudly serving Windward, they also use technology to make life easier for pet parents. A convenient app lets clients schedule and pay online, receive real-time check-in and check-out notifications, track walks with GPS, and enjoy detailed visit reports complete with photos of their beloved pooches to brighten your day.

Beyond the wagging tails and happy paws, Barb has created something even more special: connection. She brings neighbors together, brightens sidewalks, and makes Windward feel just a little more like home.

Thank you, Barb, for loving our pets like your own and for all that you do for our community. Windward is lucky to have you!
