Cook and Martin-Duffy met and became fast friends through the Golden Retriever Rescue Group. Martin-Duffy established the Red Baron Pet Sitting Service back in 1995. Once Cook began pet sitting for the company, both came to the conclusion that in order to utilize their combined passion for animals and their care, they needed to open a health related pet supply store. "We wanted to cater to the pet owners that truly believe their pets are family members", said Martin-Duffy, "We offer creatively distinctive items for all pet lover families," added Cook. "Harford County needed a place for pet lover connoisseurs like us," observed the friends and co-owners.

As residents, these two friends have watched Harford County grow and prosper for many years. They know they can add to the appeal of the County's small town feel with their nostalgic country store where the hardwood floors echo the footsteps of each patron. Honoring Baron's memory was their main priority when upon entering this quaint establishment, you are greeted by a basket draped with a quilt embroidered with Baron's name. Nestled inside the basket is a stuffed toy dog bearing a striking and remarkable resemblance to the dearly departed pet. "Baron is here in spirit and I know he is pleased with his store," believes Martin-Duffy.

According to both Cook and Martin-Duffy, "When a person feels that shopping for their pet is as enjoyable as shopping for their children, then Baron's K-9 Country Store is a must. We love the atmosphere of our store because it was once a warm home and we've taken this special place and created a convenient stop to find everything for dogs and cats and their owners." "Our vast array of specialty foods such as Innova, Breeder's Choice, Pinnacle, Wellness and our Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul series, as well as our fun toys and gifts, makes shopping and browsing an essential and exciting venture," says Cook.
