Highlights
Pet care experience
Lots of walks, love and attention!
Dogs have brought me so much joy over the years. I grew up with them, and later volunteered at the local SPCA prior to rescuing a stray Australian Shepherd mix. After losing my beloved pal, I found hosting through Rover was a wonderful way of getting my dog fix. I truly understand the deep bond people share with their canine family members, and will treat yours like one of my own. Your pup is sure to get lots of affection, positive reinforcement, playtime and belly rubs. Any boundaries and routines you have in place will be respected. You'll receive daily pictures and updates so you can take comfort knowing your dog is very well cared for. I usually only have one dog at a time, but can take two if they're from the same family and are small enough to walk together.

Ratings and reviews
Barb’s place is like Lemons second home! She loves it there and runs right to the front door from the car. We feel so at ease knowing our pup is getting such loving and professional care. Thank you so much!!!
Hudson had another wonderful stay with Barb. We really appreciate Barb’s care for Hudson, particularly now that he is a senior dog. He loves going to her home so much! Knowing that Hudson is in good hands makes our vacations more relaxing! Thank you Barb! Ray & Melissa & family
Barb B. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Lemon had a wonderful 4-night stay with Barb! We have peace of mind knowing our dog is in such a responsible, loving, and fun home. Lemon looks forward to many more stays :)
Barb has watched Lexi a few times now and she is always so accommodating, great communication, and takes such good care of Lexi! We pick up a happy dog and we will continue to use Barb in the future.
Barb was amazing with our dog. We have had her take care of our dog 3 times in the last few months and each time she kept us updated throughout our trips. We felt very relieved. Would definitely book with her again.

Schedule
I primarily work from home, and when I am away, it's no more than a few hours at a time, but can be up to six hours once a week. I always do meet-and-greets for new dogs, and on their first day, I will be home for the full day to make sure your dog is comfortable. Since I only take one dog at a time (two only if from the same family), I don't accept single day/night visits as it can affect my availability for longer stays. Your dog will get out four times a day, with longer walks in the morning and evening, and short ones mid-day and before bed.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Behind my fenced yard is a walking trail and there are plenty of parks in the area. I have bowls, a couple of nice dog beds, and some dog toys.
A typical day
I have a 400 sf fenced backyard, but there is no grass, which means your dog would definitely get multiple walks. The patio has sunny and shaded areas, so a great place to hang out between walks on nice days. In the summer I use a magnetized screen door so the dogs can come in and out as they please. There are fireplaces for the cold or rainy indoor days.
