The People Behind Godfrey's

A small, passionate team — certified, experienced, and genuinely dog-obsessed

Barb Emmett

Barb Emmett

Owner & Founder

My journey into the world of dogdom seriously began in 1998 when my husband and I brought our first golden retriever puppy into our life and home. I immersed myself in learning all about nutrition, wellness, exercise, and vaccination protocols. My dog-themed book collection and pile of research materials grew and it continues to do so to this day!

We became volunteers for Delaware Valley Golden Retriever Rescue (DVGRR). My husband served as Capital Campaign Chairman, and I served as adoption team leader for several years — finding "forever homes" for homeless goldens.

My vision was to make Godfrey's the place for all of us who love dogs to celebrate the dogs in our lives — to create a beautiful, comfortable environment where fellow dog lovers could shop for high-quality products, buy super premium dog foods, holistic supplements and healthy treats, share stories, attend events, and have fun. That vision became reality when I opened the doors to Godfrey's in July 2004.

In 2021 we brought home Keeper, our Greeter in Training, and in Fall 2023 we brought home Adelaide (Addie). We hope Godfrey's becomes that special place for you and your dogs, too!

Joined June 2011

I have had a lot of experience working with animals — as an equine technician at Willow Creek Vet Center assisting in animal physical therapy, as an assistant barn manager, and in canine boarding facilities. I am also a Karen Pryor Certified Instructor for the "Puppy Start Right" Program.

I attended a canine Reiki class here at Godfrey's and since then I knew I wanted to be a part of the team. I am fascinated by dogs communicating with us and themselves, and I look forward to helping our customers make good choices in their dog care. I also am a firm believer that Dog is Family.

My boxers Layla Lou and Jasper keep life exciting — we fell in love with the breed when we saw a boxer on a jet ski with his life jacket on! I have been married for 22+ years and have three children: Riley, Isabella, and Everett.

Sales Associate · Nutrition Specialist

Joined December 2020

I have been passionate and dedicated to pet nutrition since I started my career at Pet Valu in October 2011 — working my way up to managing my own store. I've attended different conferences on nutrition and taken courses through UC Davis for a certificate in pet nutrition.

I've worked with trainers, rescue groups, fostering, doggy daycare, and doggy sitting. A big motto of mine is: "Even if you can't change the world, you should change the world for all you can." My love of animals drives my desire to truly help as many as possible.

Fun facts: I love jewelry for myself and my dogs (there's no such thing as too many collars), my favorite color is bright/shiny, and I have a severe addiction to ranch — but it's only a problem if you can't admit it, right?

I'm enjoying being retired from my former position as Executive Director and Founder of KPETS — Keystone Pet Enhanced Therapy Services. KPETS was my calling in life. It took a half a century to figure it out, but it was worth the journey.

Pet therapy proved to be a win-win-win: my dog got the attention she loved, I got to spend time with my dog, AND we helped people at the same time. In 2002 I set out to found what is now KPETS. Twenty years later, I retired and handed over the reins.

I've now had seven goldens: Cinda, Sammy, Podley, and Max are all in Heaven. Currently I have Zeke, Kody, and Kylee (our second tripod). When Barb mentioned she was looking for help, I thought — another win-win-win situation!

Joined 2024

I was here when Godfrey's first opened its doors in 2004, celebrating Barb and Pat's dream! Through the years I've watched it grow into a place where when people walk in, they know someone is always willing to help them learn what's best for their pet. "Dog is Family" is evident in all that we do here.

For many years I was a board member and volunteer for Delaware Valley Golden Retriever Rescue Inc. I am also a recently retired elementary school teacher, and I look forward to volunteering with therapy dog organizations to get more therapy dogs into schools.

I'm a dog mom to 2 rescue goldens (Lincoln and Lucy) and a golden mix (Hunter), and a mom to two sons, Tony and Adam. I look forward to growing and learning from Barb, Pat, and the rest of the family at Godfrey's!
